The expression of faith is perplexed to some christian believers, Faith's phenomenon that transcends the realms of physicality into the dimensions of spirituality, to exercise authority in Christ Jesus, it pulls down resources from heaven down to earth. I've discovered faith to be an ultranationalist and it runs marathon in the realms of the spirit, to either produce results at an instant pace or plants seeds that will be due for harvest in it's timing.
Faith is an unexplainable desire for something that’s not yet physically seen, but felt internally. Faith brings satisfaction and it gives you peace that suppresses all understanding, knowing that there’s always going to be response from God anyway.
Through the knowledge of Christ Jesus, we can all agree that faith is the power jet of spiritual countenance and the exuberance of spiritual stamina is expressed through faith.
We all have our individual needs and wants based on our scale of preference, and in this journey called Life we’re all scholars and examiners experiencing and creating different perceptions on life, however life only has meaning based on what we choose to give it, your definition of life is uniquely yours, likewise my definition of life is uniquely mine.
As we cross the threshold of childhood, an intertwined nature of life presents itself to us. Our realities and modalities begins to adjust to whatever perception we’ve been taught from childhood. Hence the more the get older, our needs becomes a priority. We no longer want certain things, people or situations anymore rather we crave things that’s truly satisfying to the soul. Things like authenticity, generosity, passion, intimacy, and genuinity drives our curiosity towards happiness and total fulfilment.
When people, circumstances or difficulties pushes you down, Faith pulls you up.
When people disappoints you, Faith appoints you.
When you feel it’s all over, Faith comforts you.
When you feel lost, Faith guides you
When you feel overwhelmed & stressed, Faith strengthens you.
My definition of Faith is the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true, it’s simply a belief system at most. Faith is ethical, substantial, influential and spiritual. The bible made us understand in the book of Hebrews 11:1 which says; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Meaning, faith is the only force that drives your passion and it shapes your reality. Faith serves as a gateway that allows supernatural utterances to be manifested on earth. It takes a man from the dimension of mortality into the realm of immortality, through the power and authority that is in Christ Jesus.
I have discovered that faith is a heavenly ecosystem that builds our capacity in God to thrive and survive, to relentlessly persist with discernment through practicality, spiritual understanding and wisdom, that enables us keep up with the vision and stay true to our mission assigned to us by God. So I believe faith is also a law.
The universal law of faith and the declaration of faith insists that every believer who truly believes in their hearts and have accepted Jesus to be their personal lord and saviour by submitting themselves to prayer, whatsoever they ask shall be met according to the level of their faith anchored in Christ Jesus.
There are three basic comports of faith which is; Trust, Hope and Gratitude. These factors are the competence of every believer and whosoever decides to follow Christ must walk in them the same way Jesus did, in other to get the answers they seek. Faith isn’t to believe alone rather it’s a belief system itself and for anyone to fully have faith, they must;
1. Trust in God: Trusting in God means having a relationship with God. You can’t trust whom you don’t know, hence that’s why salvation is important for each and every one of us. The requirements of establishing one’s faith in God is to accept Jesus and also get closer to God through his word.
2. Hope in God: By trusting in God you also get grounded in his word, by grounding yourself in the word of God, you’d understand his personality better, hence when you understand his personality, his identity presents himself to you. Hence, God’s identity defines our reality in the best way possible only when we truly hope in him through his word, cause in his word we also know his works and what he’s done in times past, present and even to come. The word of God reveals his beauty and excellency.
3. Be Grateful: Gratitude is the gateway of multiplication, supplication and supernatural attraction as far as the spiritual and physical realm is concerned. You have to express gratitude at all times regardless of what you’re currently experiencing in your life right now. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. This bible scripture covers everything, whether it’s good or bad, better or worse, God remains God and will keep being God. However, when you begin to mature in Christ, you’d understand that everything happens for a reason and whatsoever happens (past present and future) We must walk with that consciousness of gratitude. When we give thanks to God, he opens the floodgates of abundance on us. This implies to our prayer request as well.
The reason why it may seem like God’s not answering your prayers despite your relationship with Christ, your obedience and faithfulness yet it looks like God’s not answering your prayers. This could simply mean that there’s something you’re not yet doing, and Gratitude could be your answer.
If you’ve fasted and prayed yet nothing’s happening, then I think you should approach God differently this time. In as much as prayer and fasting is effective in the kingdom of God, sometimes that’s not the only way to approach the courts of heaven where God himself resides. Thanksgiving and gratitude are also remedies of the spirit, just like a melody, it flows from our hearts to the heart of God like a symphony. See it this way;
If you have a request and you want God to answer, then praise him and thank him for who he is. Be grateful for what you have now, you’re alive and healthy is more than enough to be grateful to God. Doing so, you attach the presence of God to speed up your manifestations.
If you have what you have and you want an increase in what you have? Be thankful to God.
Just be grateful, whether you have money or not, whether you’ve food to eat or not. Just be grateful to God and when doing so, ensure the words of your mouth matches the words of your heart. When you say thank you to God with your mouth, let your heart also say thank you and let it come from a genuine place. God listens to our hearts the same way he listens to our words, so when you’re saying one thing and your heart is saying another thing, it’s an error.
However, when your heart and words are in alignment with your words, and it’s coming from a genuine place, watch what happens next !!!
