YOUR FAITH IS ALL THAT MATTERS

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a re-warder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Additional Verses

📖 Genesis 26:1-16; John 20:19-29; Hebrews 11:1-40

When the LORD Jesus Christ first appeared to His disciples in the Upper room following His resurrection, Thomas was not there. When the other disciples told him that the LORD was alive and had appeared physically to them, Thomas would not believe. In other words, he lacked the faith to accept that the LORD was alive and had appeared to the other disciples. Thomas actually said to the other disciples, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” (John 20:25). And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus Christ came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach out your finger here, and look at My hands, and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered, “My LORD and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:26-29). Faith does not come by seeing but by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Faith comes to you when you hear and receive the testimonies from the Word of God about the works of God. The Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees saw the miracles performed by Jesus Christ, but still they could not believe. Many people today are like Thomas, the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the Scribes. They cannot believe the good news of Jesus Christ being preached to them with accompanying signs and wonders through His living ministries all over the world. Some will only believe when the secrets of their hearts are revealed to them just like what happened with Thomas. The Word of God was given to reveal all you need for the salvation of your soul. This is why Jesus Christ said, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” You must learn to walk by faith and not by sight just as Abraham and all the great heroes of faith did. When you do this, you will certainly not miss the hour of your visitation and the unsolicited favor of the LORD will certainly rest upon your house. Alleluia!

Prayer

Help me Father to always strive to walk by faith and not by sight so that I will not miss the hour of my visitation and also enjoy Your special favor. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray Amen.
