Prophecies are ordained for fulfillment; they are
not mere statements made to excite you. Prophetic words are the expressions of
God’s thoughts and God’s purpose for your life.
The Bible says: The LORD of hosts hath sworn,
saying, surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have
purposed, so shall it stand (Isaiah 14:24). However, you cannot see prophecies
fulfilled, until you choose and take responsibility to believe. Until you
believe it, you are not empowered to become it.
The fact that you don’t believe, does not erase its
validity; it just means you have refused to be a beneficiary. Every prophecy is
ordained for fulfillment, but only on the platform of faith.
What, then, is Faith?
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall
be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord (Luke 1:45).
•Faith is the principal thing in your quest to see
prophecies fulfilled. You can pray from now till forever, if you don’t have
faith, you won’t see prophecies fulfilled.
•Faith is a spiritual force within that determines
the triumphs without. It is a spiritual force within you that determines the
happenings around you.
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).
Faith is not on the face, faith is in the heart. Just as faith is a force
within, doubt is also a force within.
Mark 11:23 says: …Whosoever shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass;
he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23). That’s why you must be
committed to building your faith within.
•Faith is not a dormant force; faith is a dominant
force. When faith is at work on the inside, it dominates your environment.
Faith does not live under circumstances, faith lives above all circumstances.
•Faith is no cheap talk; faith is hard work. No
lazy man can manifest strong faith, because strong faith demands a great price
to build. Faith demands great discipline.
Faith is no cheap talk, faith is hard work. Faith
is hard to acquire; hard to maintain and hard to operate, because the faith
that delivers must fill your thoughts. If you think contrary to what you claim
to believe, you have killed your faith.
How Can I Fire
Up My Faith?
You can’t get into faith wishing, you labour your
way into faith.
1. You labour in the Word: To get your faith fired
up, you need a Word search. There are things you will never catch, except by reading
books. Faith is not waiting for God to work; faith is putting God’s Word to
work, by believing. It is your depth in the truth that determines the strength
of your faith (Luke 1:45).
2. Guard your thoughts and words: Faith calls for
high level discipline and guarded thoughts (James 1:6-8). You walk and speak
courteously, because everything counts for your faith to deliver (Ecclesiastes
5:6).
Friend, the grace to fire up your faith is the
privilege of children of God. You become a child of God as you confess your
sins and accept Jesus as your Saviour and Lord. You can be His child now, if
you have not been, by saying this prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am
a sinner. I cannot help myself. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me with Your
precious Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan, to serve the Living God. Today,
Lord Jesus, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You, for saving me! Now
I know, I am born again!
