TOPIC: EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
TEXT:
Jas.2.26 The very moment you separate body and spirit, you end up with a corpse. Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse. (MSB)
Faith is the only way we can connect to God, the scriptures say everyone that comes to God must believe that he is, the faith that makes us come before God is what enables us to accept his sovereignty. However, it seems as if most people that come to God return without getting their heart desires, many complaints about how they pray about certain things and it's not coming forth. The truth is, most people in this category have dropped their value for God and secure another means. Without faith, we can receive nothing from God. So how can we be sure that we have Faith?
The scripture above explains what makes faith works. As the Body becomes lifeless without spirit, so also is faith will be dead without work. Now, people think the scripture is talking about some efforts to make faith works, NO, it's beyond that! What the scripture is talking about is the desire to work in line with the profession of your Faith. You're a child of God and you believe God is your father, begin to live like God is your Father!
Put to work your faith, you're expecting God to show up in that situation and somehow you believe he's done it, begin to act in obedience as regards to your expectations, if God is going to bless the works of your hand, and you believe so much so, yet your hand has no works, you've got to match your faith with work. After, praying, what activates your faith is work. Get to work to align your faith with your belief in God.
REFLECTION: What show your faith is what you do with your faith.
PRAYER: Father, please help my faith work to bring your might into work in Jesus Name.
