You have to be careful how you respond to people’s interpretation of events happening around you. When God sends the things/people you need, it may not always look right or appropriate to onlookers, however it is your understanding of what is happening that matters. Because your understanding will determine your response.
When I heard the story it sounded both dumb and ridiculous. What a dumb thief he must be! I mean people already saw him and being a closely-knit and cliquish neighbourhood, words would soon go round. Wouldn’t be long before someone identified him and pointed him out to the security parading the streets. Dumb thief.
Contrary to hope, Abraham believed in hope; that is, when there was nothing to hope for, Abraham had hope God’s promise would come through. Abraham had absolutely no reason to hope; he was old, his body was weak, his sexuality and sexual drive was as good as gone. Sarah was also weak, have you imagined how the womb of an 89year old woman could hold a baby?
Sadly, what this also means is that if I do not act in faith I may never reveal and experience the righteousness of God which is always available to me. We are unlikely to experience God’s integrity/ without faith. You cannot have victory without faith. There is an opportunity today to uncover the faithfulness/righteousness/wholeness of God in your work, health, academics, business, ministry, family, etc. Take God by His Word, believe and you will see the glory of God manifested.
So faith is for every split second, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, every time.
Faith reveals the righteousness of God and the faith to reveal the righteousness of God comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Without the Word, there will be no stimulus to act in faith and without acting in faith, the righteousness/faithfulness/wholeness of God cannot be experienced.
Hi there,
Have you seen today’s Bible Study post: “5 Tests on the Way to Greatness“? 🙂
Three nights ago, the Holy Spirit woke me up to write this article and within 30 minutes the main content was ready. Only a little fleshing-out was required to get it ready for publishing today. So please make out some time for it. 🙂
Below is a short introductory video on the study that’s been going on the blog for sometime now: 3 Essential Elements of Victorious Christian Living.

We all need to experience victory in different areas of our lives; marriage, job, home, study, health, provision, ministry, etc. Victory in these areas (and also against devilish forces) are first won in the spirit before a physical manifestation.
This is a very important study and I wouldn’t want you (or any member of the Body of Christ), to miss any part of it. Here are parts 1 and 2.
Kindly share this video with your believing friends, colleagues, relatives. In order that they do not miss out on any part at all, also get them to subscribe here. This ensures that all parts of this study is delivered directly to their mailboxes. They are free to unsubscribe at the end of the study if they so wish 🙂
God bless you as we work together in making known the knowledge of God and His Word.
Love Always
Grace
The Communion offers us both the blood (that overcomes) and an opportunity to testify of our faith in the finished work of Christ.
