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.

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
