Faith Day 2 - Faith requires humility and pursuant.

Topic – Faith Day 2 - Faith requires humility and pursuant.

Scripture
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)  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.

 Hebs 11:6b talks of a firm conviction that God is and that He is a rewarder of all who diligently seek Him. This firm belief comes from a deep revelation of who God is.

Being around christian circles and merely witnessing miracles without personal revelation of God only produces awe. Faith involves a deep conviction that resonates in the heart. It is a revelation that makes you see God bigger than all things, your heart's yearnings and issues of life. This revelation produces a relationship of trust and hope.

See the respond of the Jews to Jesus' earthly ministry:-
John 12:37 (KJV)  But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him.

What would make people not respond to great words and miracles like the raising of Lazarus from the death?
Further reading can reveal it was the hardening of their heart, minds, ears and eyes. Why would the hardening take place? Because they didn't take time to think, be humble, meditate and pursue the miracles and words of Jesus. The parable of the sower Jesus spoke in Mt 13 explains this. Satan uses our minds, difficulties and pleasures to kill and make God's word unfruitful in our lives.

Jesus says all who come to me I will never cast out -Jh6:37b

How do we respond then to God's word and get perfect faith? :-
By being humble, quick to hear, enquiring his word and purpose, making fast and prompt respond to his calling, Word and Spirit.  See the story of Nicodemus in John 3.

Sister is your Faith  commensurate to the light / miracles you have seen? Do you firmly believe God is and a rewarder to them that diligently seek him?
Our minds left to their natural thinking counteract God's ways coupled with Satan constantly throwing thoughts our ways explaining why God's words and ways won't work.
We can get strong conviction and Faith by seeking God personally, he will give us revelations that increase our Faith.

 *Prayer*
Lord, give us humble hearts and minds that would always seek your will.

 *Bible Study Plans*
Leviticus 6  Exodus 25 Acts 6

 *Words for Wise Woman*
Recipients of strong faith are humble, great seekers, obeidence, and persistent.
