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.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
