FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

Hebrew 11:4-40

These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received

what had been promised (Verse 39) NIV

                                             

 It is part of human nature to grow weary when God’s promises for our live lingers. We are often impatient and want things to happen almost immediately, forgetting the fact that “God is not a timed God but he is the God of time that lives outside of time”. According to the records in the book of Hebrews 11 men of old did not receive the promise of God on time. If I may ask, what will your reactions be if God’s promise is not forth coming? Will you remain faithfully or otherwise? Faith is “being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see”. Faith can also be defined as Full Assurance In The Lord of Host.

The men of old never had the privileges we have today yet they remain faithful unto death.

Men of this generation are often impatient, hasty and self-centred, we want Magic rather than Miracle, faithful is he who is able to stand the test of time. Men of old are individual with flesh and blood like us but through faith they commanded Sun to stand still and the moon to stop Joshua 10:12-13 and by faith stopped the rain for three years I king 17:1,18:1, by faith prophesy of the future event Psalm 24:7-10, Isaiah 53:11-12, Daniel 12:1-13 and Revelation19:1-21

 The faith of our fathers in faith looks crazy to this generation but God wants the faith of this generation to be greater compare to theirs. Do you want the divine habitation of God and his power in you today then come to him and believe in him and do not help him, only yield to him this hour, Jesus is calling and waiting for you. Have a FAITH filled day, Shalom.

PRAYER: I belief in you Lord, Help my faith to totally trust in you and wait for your leading. Dear Lord, release unto me the grace to increase my faith in you (AMEN).
