THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

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

DATE: SATURDAY 26TH FEBRUARY

TOPIC: THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6

Key verse: Romans 1: 16-17. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

When someone repents from sin and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, he receives the salvation of God and becomes a new creature. The Bible says, “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away and all things have become new.”

His new relationship with God is characterized by the newness of life, the fear of God, righteousness, and obedience to God's word. He is considered a just man.

Noah was a just man in his generation. He was perfect and walked with God. The just and perfect man is the one who walks with God, doing the will of God.

He walks with God with the whole of his heart. He serves God wholeheartedly and maintains a good relationship with Him. He lives righteously.

The just man is a true believer in Christ. The scriptures state emphatically that the just shall live by faith. The believer in Christ Jesus, who is righteous before God shall live, survive, thrive, triumph, and overcome by faith.

The proud man or woman can never be upright in the sight of God. The believer who is struggling to live through is a proud person. He does not consider God worthy of his dependence. He depends on his intellect, wisdom and power to do things.

He is a proud man and can never please God. The scripture under consideration also says something about the personal faith of the just.

Every believer is expected to exercise personal faith in Him. While it may be expedient to seek the intercession of a spiritual mentor in prayer, the perfect will of God is that every child of His should exercise personal faith by asking Him for their needs.

The just shall live by his faith. This is both an exhortation and an instruction to every believer to relate with God personally. God expects you to exercise personal faith in Him so that you may live.

Whatever situation that arises against a just man, he is exhorted to have a personal faith in God. Are you experiencing some invasions of the enemy in your life? Are sicknesses and diseases tormenting your life?

Whatever opposition that comes against a just man; whatever mountain is standing against a just man, trying to instil fear into him, the Bible advises the just man to have faith in God in the presence of that great contrary situation, to live and overcome.

Have faith in God despite that great opposition and you shall conquer it and make progress. All that is required of you is to trust in your God.

Thought for the day: Believe in God’s word with all your heart.

Song for the day: I am ready to obey your word…

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 16-17;
Mark 6:33-56.

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...
