TOPIC: *BE NOT FAITHLESS*
"Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither they finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless but believing." John 20:27.
*MESSAGE*
Faith is the agreement of the mind to the truth of what God has revealed. It is a firm belief on the truthfulness of God and in all the declarations of His Word. Believers are those who have this kind of faith, and such people live according to a particular lifestyle.
Jesus Christ has modelled a lifestyle for people who claim to have put their faith in God. This is a lifestyle of continual believing in the Word of God and the work of God. Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples, lived by the principle of the world in our text above. The principle is that you only believe what you can see. However, Jesus introduced him and His listeners to a new way of thinking: that in order to materialize the Word of God, we must first believe, then we will see (2 Corinthians 5:7).
This is the way of faith. Are you a believer? Then live by this principle. Be not faithless; rather, be a believing believer!
*ACTION POINT*
? _Live a life of continual believing in the Word of God._
*SCRIPTURE READING*
Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 5:1-11; Romans 10:1-10.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Oh Lord, baptise me with the Spirit of faith in the name of Jesus.
2. I declare that by the stripes of Jesus Christ I am healed in the name of Jesus;
3. Oh Lord, help our leaders to trust in You in the name of Jesus.
