Faith is the response of the human spirit to the word of
God. Faith makes everything in life possible; it does not fail. If faith did
not work that means it is not faith. Hebrew 11:1 “now faith is the substance of
things hope for, the evidence of things not seen” KJV. Faith is the
evidence of the unseen realities.
Romans 4:17-20 “…before him whom he believed, even God, who
quickeneth the dead, and calleth those
things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope,
that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was
spoken, so shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an
hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: he staggered not
at the promise of God through unbelief. But was strong in faith, giving
glory to God” KJV.
From the above reference,
two statements are very remarkable and the first one is God who calls those
things which are not as though they were, the second is Abraham did not consider his situations in life as the condition of his
becoming the father of many nations. So God does not wait to see things
before he calls them into being, In other words, His calling make things to exist.
God called Abraham the father of many nations when he had no child and
everything around him had no proof that he would be the father of many nations
except the word of God. The bible says he believed on the God who quickens the
dead and calls things that be not as though they were, Praise God! That means
he knew the God who can quicken his body and the dead womb of Sarah also who
can call a child into existence.
Abraham aligned
himself so that the word of God will come to pass in his life through faith in
the word. Some people would have said “yes, it is by faith, I don’t have it now”,
“I am yet to receive the miracle” but Abraham starting living like the father
of many nations even before he saw the child, he was answering ‘father of many
nations’ even without a child, what a faith!
You can arrange your
life to receive from God today even as you are reading this article right now. Do
you believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ? What do you want from God? The book of Mark
11: 24 says, “… what things soever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
KJV You receive anytime you pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ if you
are a Christian but if you are not a Christian don’t run away Jesus loves you
and you can find help here.
