The faith of the just

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:4 KJV

According to our anchor text, one key attribute of the righteous/just man (the one in right standing with God) is his faith/steady believing in the Lord.

It is not of sons to trust in themselves as the Apostle Paul clearly tells us in Hebrews 11:6 that without faith it is impossible to please our dear Lord as he who must come to the Lord must first believe 2 key things:

1. That He is!
2. That He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him!

 Believing that He is is simply believing in His existence and His every name and word (He is God! He is unchangeable! He is eternal! He is Lord! He is I Am! He is Love! He is kind! He is faithful! He is near! He is an ever present help in times of need! He is Holy! He is never-failing! and much more).

Believing that He is a Rewarder is simply believing that He has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain.

These two beliefs are the core foundation of the walk of the just/righteous with His Lord as truth is; as powerful as God is, you can not get anything from Him with unbelieve for His mercies endure forever!

According to the preceding verses of our anchor text, what the Lord has shown is for an appointed time and truly it will speak but only with steady/consistent believing will that vision be made alive first in your heart and then in the hearts of men and then in every sphere.

This is why the Apostle tells us to call forth the things that be not as though they were as our faith is what brings things to existence and Jesus clearly tells us in Mark 9:23 how that when we believe, nothing can be impossible to us.

Dear believer, what makes your walk with God interesting is your faith in the Lord which is why the devil always seeks to weaken and damage your faith through tribulations and challenges, is your faith weak? Have you somehow stopped believing at some point? 

It is possible for your faith to come back to life in great strength and capacity, all you need to do is go back to the Lord in His word and prayers as prayerlessness is simply proof that you don't need God but trust in your own abilities.

The peace and grace of our dear Lord be multiplied unto you!

A letter from your father

" I understand that you have so much going on right now, I understand that you are currently at that point where all hope seems lost, I understand that you have waited so long for my promise and you now feel as though I have changed my mind, I understand that everything and everyone around you seems to be turning against you. Hold on steadfastly to my word which I have spoken to you in time past! I understand that you have journeyed this far and now have nowhere else to turn to but me and that, my dear, is the beauty of your journey for out of the rock shall come forth water at my word. Listen, "they that put their trust in the Lord will never be put to shame". I revealed this to my servant David and I say it to you right now because what I say to one I say also to all. I understand that many seem to have gone ahead of you and you now feel like an abandoned project, I understand how that you feel as though you have done something wrong and that is why you have to go thro...

A Sacrifice Honorable Unto The Lord!

Genesis 4:4-5 "And Abel also brought an offering, of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering, but did not have regard for Cain and for his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast." Many believers wonder why God had regard for Abel's offering while Cain's was rejected, and many even misinterpret this scripture to imply that God is partial. Now, let's take a look at a few things: 1. THE NATURE OF THEIR OFFERINGS! We understand from scriptures that Abel presented a sacrifice from his flock; he selected the best of his sheep, and this reflected not just his gratitude but also his devotion to and honor for God. From this act, we can tell that Abel had a good understanding of the importance of giving his best and recognizing God's sovereignty. Cain, on the other hand, offered fruits from the ground, which, while valuable, did not carry the same weight of intentionality in sacrifice and p...
