YOUR FAITH, YOUR POWER
YOUR FAITH, YOUR POWER
Every morning that breaks for every living creature does so for good or for challenges or for both. The difference between one individual and the other is based on the way the good fortunes or challenges are handled. However and whatever it may be, your faith is the power on which you can stand to face those challenges or moderate the anxieties of successes.
Faith is a high degree of trust or confidence in God. A complete trust or confidence in God.
The scripture says:
Of this faith it is said; “for whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.” (1 John 5:4).
Yes, our faith overcomes the world if it is allowed to rule our lives:
- in times of problems remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome;
- in times of difficulties remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome;
- in times of trials remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome;
- in times of temptations remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome;
- in times of pains and burdens of life remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome.
- in times of sickness remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome;
- in times of nothingness and hunger or thirst remember that your faith is the victory that will overcome.
We will overcome every problem of life when we allow our working faith to take charge of the situations. We must rule our lives and overcome the world by our faith. That faith must be found only in God through Christ.
Do not marvel at the challenges of life. They are just there to shape and strengthen you for future glories. Do not be troubled! You can overcome if you allow your working faith grounded in God through Christ to take charge.
The case here is simple and that is that Your Faith Is The Victory That Overcomes The World. The Scripture declares: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen… But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:1,6).
Happiness, Successes, Joys, Achievements, etc., can also, at the long run constitute many challenges to us if they are not moderated by faith.
Think on these things and the God of peace will direct You.
