Topic for today Thursday January 7: Faith for the journey 5

By Dr D.K Olukoya General Overseer MFM worldwide

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 14-16

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 14:1-14 (KJV)

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

MEMORY VERSE: “And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.” – Luke 17:6

The Bible establishes that the kind of faith that yields immense benefits should be uncommon. However, experience has shown that the faith of many people is weak and ordinary, so it becomes necessary that we learn how to develop uncommon faith that produces extraordinary results. This shall be our focus today.

When the apostles turned to Jesus and requested that He increased their faith, He was physically present with them. Now you can turn to the Bible to learn how to develop your faith and pray that Jesus will do the same for you. Let us identify some steps in the word of God on how to grow our faith.

First, you must learn to look unto Jesus as the builder of your faith. Hebrews 12:2 says “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.” If you want your faith to truly develop, do not look up to men or circumstances, no matter how favourable or promising they may appear. Look unto Jesus. True help to develop your faith and to meet all your needs comes from Him. He will not fail you.

Second, you must make the word of God your final authority (Proverbs 4:20-22). Third, you must continually feed on the word of God. The word of God is the food of faith for your spirit. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. You will derive nourishment and strength for your spirit from the word of God. The Bible says that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). In addition, you must meditate on the word of God (Joshua 1:8); act on the word of God — make yourself a doer and not only a hearer of God’s word (James 1:22); pray in the Spirit often (Jude 20) and continually give God praise (Philippians 4:6).

Beloved, you need faith for the journey in 2021. With faith you can become all that God has destined you to be! With faith, you can draw from God’s inexhaustible resources to solve any problem. Faith is the supernatural force that will bring heaven into your situation to help you. It is the key to your desired miracles, signs and wonders. It will position you to continuously receive daily benefits and torrential rainfall of His blessings. Make faith your companion this year and always.
