Faith by the Word
Pastor Zubeda Sing
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. When faith comes, you will begin to speak, confess and declare the Word of God as truth. We must make the time to study God’s Word. This will take us to the next level in our Christian walk. *“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15.*
Now your mind must stay on God’s Word and on His Instructions and Promises. We must not meditate on our surroundings and situations. We must be able to meditate on God’s Word. *“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” Philippians 4:8, 9.*
As we think and meditate on God’s Word, we will change not only ourselves but our environment. As you receive God’s Word into your life, begin immediately to put it into practice. This is what will cause you to see results.
