8 FACTS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT THE POWER OF FAITH

Faith can be defined as a strong confidence in God and in His word.
See the power of faith below :       

1. Faith calls unseen things in to existence (Heb.11:3): In Gen.1:3, God called light into existence. We are made in the image and likeness of God. He has given us power to act likewise. whatever you say from your mouth is like a seed sowed which germinates and bears fruits(Pro.18:21)                         

2. It compels one to offer an excellent sacrifice (Heb. 11:4): By faith Abel offered an excellent sacrifice. Without faith, it will be impossible to offer a perfect sacrifice. Every acceptable sacrifice has a high price. If you look at the cost, you may not be able to offer it. What motivates one to give a worthy sacrifice inspite the high value of it, is faith.         

3. Faith delivers from death (Heb. 11:5): Enoch did not experience death as a result of his faith. The just shall live by his faith (Rom.1:17). Untimely death can be terminated when faith is enforced. When one exercises his or her faith on God's word concerning longevity, he or she releases the power of faith which terminates premature death.                                                   

4. It's a ticket to pleasing God (Heb. 11:6): The requirement for pleasing God is faith. All our righteousness is as a filthy rags (Is.64:6). No man is righteous enough to please God. Exercising our faith in the finished work of Christ qualifies us to please God. We are saved by grace through faith (Eph.2:8).                 

5. It makes one to obey God's instructions (Heb. 11:7-8): As a result of Abraham's faith, he obeyed God's word when he was called out of his father's house. When one does not believe in what God says, it will be difficult for such to obey his command.

6. Faith qualifies one to be righteous (Heb.11:7): Noah became heir of righteousness by his faith. In the sight of God, righteousness can only be obtained by faith.

7. Faith takes and makes one to possess his promise land (Heb.11:9): Without faith one cannot take delivery of what belongs to him. Faith compels you not to give up even when you are faced with opposition. Caleb, at the age of eighty five was able to defeat the descendants of Anak and took possession of his inheritance by his faith. When you go for what is yours by faith, you will always come back with testimony.

8. Faith terminates barrenness (Heb.11:11): Sarah's womb received strength to conceive at old age through faith. Faith has power to turn every unfruitfulness to fruithfulness.
