THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH (PART 1)

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

DATE: SUNDAY 9TH JANUARY

TOPIC: THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH (PART 1)

TEXT: ROMANS 1:16-17

Key verse: Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted is not upright in him:  but the just shall live by his faith.

When someone repents from sin and receives Jesus, he becomes a new creature as the scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:17:

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new."

This person’s new walk is characterized by all newness. Who is a just person? A just person is the one who walks with God, doing all the will of God. The just person is the one who yields the whole of his heart to God. A just person is a believer.

The key verse emphasizes individual faith, although there are times when the church can have faith for God to intervene in your situation but ultimately, the scriptures encourage individual believers to have faith in themselves.

There was a man who came to plead with Jesus to come over to his house and heal his sick daughter. Whilst he was still with Jesus, news came from home informing him that his daughter has died but Jesus informed him not to be afraid but believe. Mark 5:36.

Likewise to you, no matter the situation before you, you must believe in God. Who are the overcomers in this life? The Bible tells us that if you continue to be just and believing, you are an overcomer. Please know that the scriptures cannot be broken.

Faith is complete confidence and reliance on God’s word. The faith of the just is based on the following: God: The just knows that God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. Whatever the problem is, God is aware and can do all things. Therefore, they just believe in God for that.

The just knows that God is willing. A leper came to Jesus and told Him, “if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean”. And Jesus put forth His hand and touched him saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:2-3.

Christ’s sacrifice: The just knows that because of the sacrifice of Jesus, he will have what he desires. Therefore, he believes in God. Romans 8:32.

He believes that the blood of Jesus has purchased redemption for him; His stripes have healed him.

The name of Jesus brings victories. Therefore, he stands and claims the benefits of Jesus.

The word of God: Isaiah 55:10-11. They just believe that the word of God cannot fail. He knows that when God sends His words, it does not return void but rather it produces the right result and because of the just believes God’s word.

Thought for the day: The overcomers of life are those that are just and believe in God.

Song for the day: I believe, yes Lord, I believe, yes Lord, I believe it is well with me

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 23-24;
Matthew 8.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
