THE HIGHER REALM OF FAITH

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

Faith is such an important subject in the Word of God. The Bible says without faith, it’s impossible to please God. But what exactly is faith? The Bible gives us the clearest definition as read in our opening scripture. In the Old Testament, what we call faith was often expressed more as trust or confidence in God. They trusted Him to keep His promises, to guide them, to be with them on their journeys.

Abraham, for example, demonstrated this kind of faith by making an unqualified commitment to God, breaking all the limits of trust. But in the New Testament, faith is revealed as something higher and greater. It’s not just having the confidence that God “will” act or do something; it’s living in the finished works of Christ. It’s knowing and accepting that God has done all He ever needed to do for us and acting accordingly.

Therefore, faith being the substance of things hoped for means it’s the “materiality” of your hope. It’s the assurance that what you’ve believed has become real, you’ve possessed it, irrespective of what your mind or senses may tell you. The Word of God is the evidence that you’re who God says you are, you have what He says you have, and you can do what He says you can do. Your response to these and other truths in the Word of God is faith.

That’s why we say faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. When you hear His Word, your spirit must grasp it as real because your spirit can see, perceive, and respond to spiritual realities even when your senses can’t. That’s what God expects of us. It’s not enough to trust Him occasionally in one area of life, but to live entirely in this higher realm of faith. Hebrews 10:38 says, “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

CONFESSION

My faith is the victory that overcomes the world. I see, possess, and live in the reality of my heritage, identity and abilities in Christ Jesus. My faith is active, producing results and changing hopeless circumstances for the glory of God. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Hebrews 11:6; 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.

Romans 10:17; So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

2 Corinthians 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

The light of God is in you, in your spirit. You bear the perfections of Christ. Hallelujah! The Bible says, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). You’re truly the living tabernacle of God! Christ is alive in you. We are the last generation; the generation called to manifest His glory in the earth. This is what the earth has been waiting for. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” We’re in office; we’ve taken our place of dominion, impacting our world with the glory of God.

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE  SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...
