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.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
