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.

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
