KEEP ON SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF FAITH

2 CORINTHIANS 4: 6-13

KEY VERSE:
”For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”. Romans 10:10

What  you  claim  to  believe  in  your  heart  must  be  expressed  through  your mouth, to strengthen your  faith.

When you believed that Jesus  Christ died for your sins and He is the only one who has power to save you, you confessed your  sins and His Lordship over your  life to experience salvation.  

In the same way, whatever  you truly believe you must  confess it in order to receive  it.

The language of faith therefore  is the confession of the promises of God and declaration of them over your  life and your situations.

Always say what God l is saying  concerning your circumstance  and not what your  circumstance is saying.  

As you keep on speaking the  language of faith over that  situation, the answer will come.  The answer will be according to the promises of God you have been declaring.  

God is faithful. The bedrock of  our confession is because God says so. Speak the language of faith. You shall not be put to  shame. God will back you  up. Speak His word back to Him. He gave you those words to help you. He is teaching you to  be like Himself. What God believes, He speaks to have it. The just must walk by faith  and  not by sight. If you are  speaking to your situation and  it appears not to have changed, keep speaking to it. The  change will come. 

When Jesus  cursed the fig tree, it did not wither immediately. There was  no sign of response to the word of the Lord. The breeze was still blowing the green leaves of the fig tree that He cursed. Everything was still  intact on that tree. It was still looking very healthy. If you look at that tree the way it was, you may doubt the power in the  word of the Lord.

But if you can  wait till the following day, you  will discover that the same tree  that was looking very fresh  and  green had completely died and  withered. 

Learn to walk by faith  and not by sight. The reason  why you doubt God is because  you are praying with your eyes and not with your heart. The enemy may be laughing at you  because your condition is still  the same.

Forget about that  laughter which is a physical  thing. There is something  happening for you in the realm  of the spirit. Your God is at  work for you.

Thought For The Day:
Live by faith, walk by faith and pray by faith. Believe God.

Song For The Day:
Believe it shall be well, believe in Jesus it shall be well.
