Speaking in Faith is easy; it’s Inherent, Its Life changing


W
e are created in the image of God. I choose to believe that image calls for the exact replica, a sample, a direct portrait of another. Hence when we profess salvation we are in essence agreeing that in us we have the very traits of God. 

The bible says “But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God” (RSV), children born not by the will of man but the spirit of God himself.

And God speaks by faith he calls things that are not as if they are and if we have been given everything that pertains to life and Godliness then we have the power to speak by faith as well for that is a Godly trait. Faith is God’s characteristic and may I remind you that you are a son of God in layman terms we will say you have the genetic make up of God, through salvation.
God activates his Faith by speaking it. The bible says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. {Substance: Or, ground or, confidence}(KJV)

When we hope most of the times it is a mind thing, its unseen. And out of hope comes thoughts that generate into speech. Basically if you leaving by faith through hoping, by the time your thought generates into speech you are already activating your faith. That is why the bible says that as Christians we live like people who have a hope always ready to give a reason for the hope you have in Christ.

I submit to you today that my reason for living in hope is because before I speak its already manifest through faith in God for as it says in his word we have the mind of Christ and if not we have the chance to renew our mind … (Romans 12:2) be transformed by the renewal of your mind and live as people not of this world.

Let’s look at it from another angle. When you fall in love with someone it is a life changing experience. You end up taking on the form that the other party likes. You find it easy to do things that they love and appreciate and hence you are under the influence of the person. Now if we say we are born again we basically say we love God and that is essence means we are subjecting our lives to the influence of God. This involves his manner of speech. Faith is the signature of God’s speech. It therefore is expected and required of Christians (which means Christ like) to speak in Faith for in it they know and believe and trust that they have the very backing of God himself.

I would like to also submit to you that anything that brings improvement in life is easy to partake of. When you as a Christian walk in Faith you are activating the creative genius of God within you and that comes with it power and results. So why wouldn’t you walk in Faith when all around you there are reasons and reasons why its not difficult to do.

It’s a no wonder the word says faith without actions is dead for with faith comes results that are truly visible. Take a step of faith because as a child of God Faith is so inherent, it comes naturally its second nature and there’s nothing stronger in this world than nature. Embrace it.
