Be Firm in Your Faith
Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. His faith grew stronger, and in this, he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises. And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. (Romans 4:20-21 NLT)
Beloved child because of Abraham’s faith, he was counted as righteous, not just for his benefit. It’s recorded for your benefit today, assuring you that I will also count you as righteous if you believe in Me, the one who raises the dead. (Romans 4:20-24) Don’t entertain unbelief! Don’t talk about your negative situation! Don’t counsel with your body and do not counsel with the price! If I the Lord, your God said you can have it – it’s yours! Stand on His promises! Wrong conversations rob you of your destiny! If you allow Me, I will give you “Faith Builders.” Ask for what you need, and I will increase your faith daily. The righteous live by faith. (Romans 1:17) Abraham did not stagger in faith. Unbelief will cause you to stagger, what does that mean? Staggering is one day you believe, and the next day you have doubts. You stagger in your mind (your thoughts) you try to figure it all out and question it. Faith is not a feeling thing; faith is in your Spirit.
Be consistent in your faith! If you feel overwhelmed, you’re in the emotional realm not in the Spirit realm. That’s why it’s important to renew your mind which transforms you constantly. (Romans 12:2) How do you renew your mind? By replacing your thoughts with God’s Word, Scripture! That will build your faith, “Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God. (Romans 10:17) Abraham did not get into the emotional realm trying to figure out how he was going to become the father of many nations, he stayed in faith and let Me work it all out! Abraham is the example you are to follow! He remained firm in faith giving Me all the glory. He started praising Me until he saw the manifestation of the promise, I gave him. Start praising Me right in the middle of your circumstances and watch me turn your situation around. Abraham was entirely convinced that the Lord God Almighty could do whatever He promises. Do you believe I can do whatever I promise you? Apply your ‘Faith List’ check yourself and apply these ingredients as children of Abraham in action!
