NLT:2Tim.2:
13.
If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny himself.
KJV:2Tim.2:
13.
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful:
he cannot deny himself.
This
word FAITHFUL in the Greek is
: Pistos, Pis-tos'; which has
several means such as (1) trustworthy, (2) sure, and (3) true.
The
he that’s spoken of in the above passages of scriptures is the One True God
(Yahweh), The God of Israel, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; He is forever
faithful, trustworthy, sure and true.
As
God and his word are one, it’s imperative that we hold onto the only trustworthy,
sure and true thing that we’ve got today which is the word of God. Why? Because
whenever God’s word goes forth, He watches over His word to perform it.
Jer.1:
12.
Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well
seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
As
you’re reading this article, I want to say to you that “whatever unpleasant / ungodly
situation or condition you happen to be in right now; God is forever faithful
to His covenant relationship with you, it’s just a matter of you confessing,
repenting / returning to the covenant.
Here’s
how He puts it!
1John.1:
9.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
God’s
faithfulness towards humanity is not based upon religion, but rather upon a
genuine relationship with him through the shed blood of his only begotten Son,
Yahshua Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ).
Erroneous
religious teachings by many of today’s religious Bishops, Doctors, Apostles,
Prophets, Pastors, etc; and the lack of knowledge concerning covenant has kept
many living a destructive lifestyle and being rejected.
Hosea.4:
6.
My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that
thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I
will also forget thy children.
Can
you imagine what can be accomplished both spiritually and naturally when we
really exercise our faith?
As we know in
the natural realm money, gold, silver, oil and other precious commodities are
the tools that gets things moving
(Eccl.10:
19.
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh
merry: but money answereth all things).
Likewise
in the spiritual realm / The Kingdom of God, faith is the tool, currency or
substance that gets things moving; or causes God to move on our behalf. Do you
remember the situation with the woman who had the Issue of Blood spoken of in
Matt.9:20,
Mk.5:24 and Lk.8:43?
Here’s what
Yahshua said to this woman
“Lk.8:
48.
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good
comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace”
Isn’t
it interesting that Yahshua didn’t say
“It was your tithes and offerings that made
this happen for you, or it’s because you’ve sowed a special financial seed into
my life / ministry that you’ve been healed”
No,
He said
“thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace”
As
soon as today’s church-folks get a genuine working revelation of faith / how to
exercise their faith; they will no longer become victims of the many pulpit charlatans.
In
Lk.18:1
- 8, Yahshua, spoke a parable about a Judge which feared God, neither
regarded man. And in verse
8, He made a statement that ended
with a question
“Lk.18:8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Here’s
an acronym for Faith:
F-for,
A-all, I, T-trust, H-him:
The
dynamics of faith is so vast and so powerful in that having just a little faith
that’s the size of a mustard seed can make tremendous power available.
Lk.17:
6.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain
of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by
the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Matt.17:
20.
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your
unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it
shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
As
aforementioned, I do sincerely believe in the financial prosperity of God’s
people as prosperity is a part of our covenant right. But, it’s of the utmost
importance that saint be taught the foundations of faith and how it pleases
God.
Heb.11:
6.
But without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Saints,
it’s time to activate your faith:
