THE ACTIVATED FAITH (PART 3)

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: John 6:35 KJV: "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”

FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS:
Activated faith has the power to move impossible obstacles. Jesus taught that even faith as small as a mustard seed can cause mountains to shift. It’s not about size but activation—putting it to use. “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed... nothing shall be impossible unto you.” MATTHEW 17:20

FAITH OBEYS WITHOUT FULL UNDERSTANDING:
Sometimes God will ask us to do things that don’t make sense—like building an ark with no rain in sight. Noah obeyed by faith. Activated faith trusts God’s wisdom more than human logic. “By faith Noah, being warned of God... prepared an ark... by the which he condemned the world.” HEBREWS 11:7

FAITH WAITS WITH PATIENCE:
Activated faith is not impatient. It trusts in God's perfect timing and does not give up. Abraham waited years for Isaac, yet his faith never wavered. Faith believes it is done, even when the physical manifestation is delayed. “And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” HEBREWS 6:15

PRAYER:

Father, grant me the grace to trust, obey, and patiently wait for your timing, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION:

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV: "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
