THE SPIRIT OF FAITH.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:13
We having the same SPIRIT OF FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; WE ALSO BELIEVE, AND THEREFORE SPEAK.
Emmanuel B. Afolabi
The principles of faith are taught, but THE SPIRIT OF FAITH is caught.
The spirit of faith is a pioneering spirit. It is adventurous, bold, sturdy, tough, unrelenting, undaunted and unperturbed by the circumstances.
During Paul's tempestuous long sea voyage to Rome, he said: "For many days, we could not see the sun or the stars. The strong wind continued to blow. So then we thought, it is possible to remain alive" (Acts 27:20 EasyEnglish).
But then, Paul turned around and also said: "But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship...So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me (Acts 27:22,25 BSB).
Paul had the spirit of faith! The journey was so tough and rough, but they finally got to a safe harbor. There was no lost of life!
God's Word cannot fall to the ground!
The spirit of faith dares the impossible. It steps out over the aching void with nothing underneath, but God's Word alone!
Peter was able to "Walk on water, to go to Jesus (Matt. 14:29), because he stepped out of the boat on the Word "Come," spoken by the Lord!
THE SPIRIT OF FAITH IS EXPRESSED BY SPEAKING GOD'S WORD ALONE EVEN IN THE MIDST OF A SEEMINGLY HOPELESS AND IMPOSSIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE.
The spirit of faith is not boastful, arrogant, proud and mean. It's quiet, meek, lowly and loving, "...faith worketh by love (Gal. 5:6), and yet it's a Dynamo that is capable of blasting off the most gigantic mountain!
Faith laughs in the midst of the storm. Unbelief whines and laments, but faith sings for joy despite the enormity of the tests and trials, and it shouts the victory even when it's obvious that the chips are down!
Praise God! faith always have a song because faith always sees the victory!
A person of faith is unstoppable! He has a "Victory" mindset, and not a "Defeatist" mentality.
Where you are currently, doesn't stop who you are - it doesn't determine your destiny!
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporal [subject to change], but what is unseen is eternal (2 Cor. 4:18 BSB).
Your current negative circumstance doesn't define you. They are subject to change!
God specializes in making a way where there seems to be no way, and He has already made a way!
The spirit of faith is a winner any day - it wins in the long run!
Failure and defeat are aliens to the vocabulary of faith.
Stumbling blocks are stepping stones to a person of faith. He is wired to weather any storm. Faith can snatch the victory out of apparent defeat.
"Sometimes life seems like a dark tunnel with no light at the end, but if you just keep moving forward by acting on God's Word alone, your faith will light it up when you get there!
The spirit of faith is expressed by speaking God's Word alone even in the midst of seemingly hopeless and impossible circumstance
CONFESSION:
I can't fail, I can't be defeated. I won't go under for going over, and I won't quit. I believe, therefore, I also speak. I have the same spirit of faith!
