Mountain Top Life DAILY DEVOTION
VICTORIOUS FAITH: THE EXAMPLE OF ABRAHAM
11TH September, 2021
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 7, Daniel 8, Daniel 9
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Heb. 11: 8-11
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of
promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob,
the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received
strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,
because she judged him faithful who had promised.
MEMORY VERSE:” Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen– Heb. 11: 1
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Faith is seeing light with your heart when all other eyes see is
darkness.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a
worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Today,
your faith in Christ makes you whole, in the name of Jesus.
The
MESSAGE:
Faith is a
complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Genuine faith, the Bible
says, is more than precious gold that perishes (1Pet. 1:7). The Christian life
is a life of faith. It is the issue on which the matter of salvation depends.
Faith is the key that opens the door to eternal life. It is the divine channel
by which you can receive the benefits of Christ’s saving work. Abraham’s life
was built on faith in God.
At God’s command, he left home and went to another land which he
knew not without questioning God (Gen 12:1). He believed the covenant that God
made with him and that He would bless him. In obedience to God, Abraham was
even willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. Faith requires action as we see in
Abraham. Faith without action is passive and dead. Faith involves giving up
your will in order to do the will of God.
When you believe in the promises of God for your provisions like
Abraham, He will prove Himself as the Jehovah Jireh. Abraham believed God even
when there was no ram for the sacrifice. He went to lay down his son’s life, but
suddenly, the Lord provided a substitute. Remember, you cannot provide adequate
sacrifice for your sins. Your good works, church membership or position cannot
atone for your sins.
Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the only atonement for sins now and
forever. The Bible says the just shall live by faith (Rom 1:17). Faith brings
answers to prayer (Matt 21:22). Faith brings healing (Gal 2:20). You can
develop your faith by listening to the word of God because faith comes by
hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17).
What you listen to will affect what you believe. Develop the
measure of faith given to you by God by putting it into action (Rom. 12:3).
Develop a life of praise and worship. Praising God is an act of faith and it helps
your faith to grow.
A victorious
faith obeys God’s instructions as Abraham did. It will drive away fear and make
you to live a victorious life. Put your faith into action today and experience
the raw power of God
