There are certain things we can easily bypass in our lives. Luxury, gadgets, cars, cloths and other things of that nature are nice to possess but, really, we can survive without them. Health is fundamentally at the top level of everyone’s wish list. But that’s not going to be the central element of our thought today. Paul, the Apostle lists three things in first Corinthians 13:13 that are needed in everyone’s life. “And now, these three remain:’faith, hope and love’…”

• Faith

  • Faith is part of our everyday life. “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” (Heb 11:1) Now, we can only hope for tomorrow. we can’t foresee it, nor can we 100% guaranty we will see it. So faith is undeniably part of every one’s life.
  • Faith is not gamble. “faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” (Rom 10:17) Many make the mistake of stepping out of the boat without hearing the message of Christ. That is foolishness, and of course they end up sinking. From the text of Matthew 14:28, we remember Peter asking his way out. After Jesus allowed him to do so, He stepped out of the boat and defeated all the laws of physics. Peter walked on water because he heard form the message.
  • Faith is a gift from God. I you have not hear the message of Jesus yet, know that He calls so loudly on you. From your boat you can hear Him just as Peter did. His message is simple so that anyone can receive it. Rich or poor, strong or weak, educated or not, sick or healthy, He came to seek and to find everyone of us. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Now you heard i. you can receive the faith from God by simply believing in Jesus as the Savior of mankind. It is so probable that all the things you’ve been going through are connected to this. Would you have faith today, and let changing power of Christ transform you into a new creature? If you desire to do so I will invite you to say that prayer.

    • Lord Jesus, from today on, I choose to believe in you. I believe you are the Son of God, sent on earth to forgive the sins of those who believe. I pray that you would forgive me for everything I’ve ever done wrong. I give you my past. I give you my future. Help me to receive your faith, and to walk by faith from now on to the very end. Change me, and all the people around me that I am going to impact with your grace. I say this prayer with the faith that you heard me. Let it be so, in your own name.
