FAITH NEVER FAILS (4)

GOD REIGNS:

For the past three weeks, I’ve made a point of telling you about things that I’ve experienced in the walk of faith. Faith Works, Faith Makes, Faith Gives.

All these are meant to serve as a build up to this blog “GOD REIGNS”.
God reigns bring together the effectiveness, transparency, originality and the reproductive possibilities of the believer’s currency…… “FAITH”

After blogs about the practicality of faith in our daily lives, a principled approach to the concept of faith seems a necessity as my Christmas message because it concerns the one person that brought faith to our use---- “JESUS”

As I cannot spend this whole write up explaining as deeply as I want to, please bear with me and I pray that the Holy Spirit will minister to our hearts and expand His word in us.

Romans 4 vs. 3 (Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness)

Our justification by faith is what a lot of believers and unbelievers have struggled with in terms of understanding and application.

ABRAHAM

God is a perfect God and believe it or not, He has all things planned and nothing ever happens outside of his divine plan.

Abraham lived before Moses. By saying that I mean Abraham was alive and died before God gave Moses the law. So in Abraham’s days, or the days before Moses, there was no law. Walking with God then required Faith and that was what Abraham had.
God gave Abraham the promise that affects generations to come.
Genesis 12 vs. 3b (In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed) NOTE: Not only the Jews.
To make this clearer, Abraham had two sons, one of the slave woman (born of flesh) and one of promise. That born of flesh had to endure the hardship of living under the dictates of the flesh (Genesis 16 vs. 7-12), and that born of the promise was by covenant heir to the blessings of his Father (He just had to believe).
Galatians 3 vs. 9 (So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham)

MOSES

After 430 years of God making a covenant of promise with Abraham, Moses came onto the scene. As mentioned earlier, the covenant and Promise came before the Law. (Never forget that)

Why the Law?

Galatians 3 vs. 19 (The law was added because of transgressions, till the SEED should come to whom the promise was made: and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.)

The law was there to keep us under guard until the SEED comes in whom we can believe by faith and be partakers of the Abrahamic blessings.

CHRISTMAS

At such a period as this, we are celebrating the birth of the new born king that has come to give us life that we may have it abundantly… His name is JESUS (THE SEED)
Galatians 3 vs. 16 (Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say to the seeds as of many but as of one “And to your Seed who is Christ)

The Law expires when the Seed comes and folks Hurray!!!! The seed as come and we are free from the law.
The Seed brought faith with it to connect us to the blessings that Abraham received outside of the LAW.
(Galatians 3 vs. 23 – 25) (But before faith came, we were kept under the guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor)

That was why Paul said in
Romans 8 vs. 2 (For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death)


We are FREE…. This is the message of Christmas… the birth of the saviour of the world that brings Freedom.

Free from every form of oppression, hence we’re standing tall…. free from every form of depression, hence we’re living in joy, free from every form of recession, hence we’re in boom.

As we enjoy the turkeys that comes with Jesus’ birth, remember “FAITH WORKS, FAITH MAKES, FAITH GIVES and GOD REIGNS”

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
