Memorise: And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to
him for righteousness.
Genesis 15:6
Read: Genesis 15:1-6
The
righteous can be identified by their faith in God. The Bible reports that
Abraham was counted as righteous because he believed God.
And the
scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed
unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
James2:23
Hebrews 11:6 says without faith nobody can please God. If you
come to God, you must believe that He exists. Not only that, you must take Him
at His Word because He does not break His promises. You must also believe that
He will do what He says He would. Faith in God is very paramount in the life of
a Christian. The righteous believes every word that comes out of God's mouth or
His bona fide servants. If you find it difficult to receive God's Word or to
believe certain prophesies that the Lord has declared, your righteousness is
questionable. The righteous is a believer in Christ, are you? Abraham's faith in
God was so outstanding that it made him to be called: The friend of God. Faith
in your God is what elevates you. If you have the key of faith and it is
inserted into Jesus Christ-The Door, and turned, it can take you to any height.
If there is one thing that Jesus sought as He went about preaching, teaching and
healing, it was faith. Faith attracts His presence. One way or another, wherever
He finds faith in God, He moves into the situation to salvage it. Beloved, where
is your faith? As long as you have someone to depend on for that job placement,
contract, appointment, etc., you will be unable to channel your faith towards
God. Each time you depend overly on man instead of God, you make Him jealous. He
sees anyone you totally depend on as competing for His space in your heart. He
might be forced to sever you from such persons. God is the only One you should
trust totally. The righteous trust God to the point of foolishness and He never
disappoints them. To what extent can you believe God in today's
world?
KEY POINT
Different situations call for different
levels of faith. In some cases, all you need is just simple child-like
faith.
