Unwavering, un-staggering faith
Romans 4: 20(KJV)
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
Abraham staggered not in his faith. I have read this verse several times but somehow it has become so real to me. The image of staggering reveals walking or moving unsteadily, as if about to fall. Just imagine your faith in this way; swaying, tottering, stumbling, no one likes to walk this way, much less your faith operating this way. You see, wavering, staggering faith, signify no solidity or strength in our faith. There is really no faith exercised when we are wavering or unstable. Jesus says all the FAITH that is truly needed to move mountains is mustard seed faith. He replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you (Matt 17:20).” Jesus wants the faith of his people to be like Abraham- unswerving and un-staggering.
Abraham had all the reasons to waver in his faith, but he chose to believe God. Well yes, this was Abraham, he is the father of faith, you might say. Abraham demonstrated UN-staggering, unflinching faith at a very critical point in his life. Abraham had a choice, he could either believe God or believe his condition. We too have a choice, to believe or not to believe. I know what it is like to stagger in my faith and I am sure many of you have experienced the same. You will have many instances and very good reasons to stagger in your faith, just don’t to take those opportunities. I have chosen to build my faith in the word and allow truth to govern my decisions. Let us today, develop unwavering and un-staggering faith in ALL that Jesus Christ has done for us.
If your faith is in the dumps today pick it up with the WORD OF GOD- it changes everything. When we choose to make the WORD OF GOD our final authority every other thing has to line up with it. The mustard seed faith is the WORD OF GOD in you. The WORD is a seed, so when it is sown in faith, it yields great results. Don’t let the enemy deceive you into thinking you have no faith. You will never know how much faith you have until you exercise your faith. Therefore; Where your faith is lacking, build it up, that’s the great part of this whole experience. You can build up your faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, studying the word and testifying to others about the goodness of God.
Be blessed.
Advancing the Kingdom of God in the earth!
