Friday May 12
Bible Reading: Gen. 12: 1 - 9
Topic: Radical Faith
God instructed Abram to
leave his father's house, family and country to a land that He would show him.
God did not tell him the
name of the town, direction or description of where he was to go, yet Abram and
his family set out on that journey.
Today, most of us would
ask for details including the map of the place, the feasibility study and other
logistics for this movement but Abram took a step of faith and embarked on the
journey.
This is faith matched with
words.
When Abram got to the land
of the Canaanites, God appeared to him again and promised to give that land to
his descendants.
Faith brings blessings and
promotions.
Abram's radical faith set
him apart and opened him up to God's favour.
Many times we are faced
with very difficult and seemingly impossible tasks, In such a situation, we
need to apply radical faith as Abram did in order to see results.
From today let us not be
moved by the enormity and complexity of the problems, tasks or challenges
facing us, rather let us be moved to action by the Greatness, Faithfulness and
Ability of the Lord Who has called us.
Prayer:
Heavenly King, please
clothe me with faith to believe and corresponding work to show my faith, I pray
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen
Memory Verse: Gen. 12: 3
"And I will bless
them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed"
