HOW TO KNOW YOUR FAITH IS ACTIVE

FAITH REVOLUTION SERIES

PART 2 – HOW TO KNOW YOUR FAITH IS ACTIVE

A faith that is active is one that is fully pleasing to God. These show that your faith is active:

1.      You don’t worry about material things.

“Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?” – Matthew 6:31. Jesus taught the people that a worry for material things portrays you as a Gentile. For they seek such things. Jesus taught them that God knows what you need and would provide it for them as they seek Him and His kingdom.

REST – Part 2

Read Part 1 HERE

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”.

Matthew 11:28-29 (NKJV)

From the first part of the REST series, we get to understand that rest is a triumph God promised man after THE FALL.

WHAT IT MEANS TO PRAY IN JESUS'S NAME

Prayer is one of the Christian acts that Jesus taught His disciples. Many preachers and teachers have spoken vastly about the topic of prayer because of its importance in the life of a Christian. Prayerlessness is what makes a Christian totally dry and void of the presence of God.

BEARING FRUIT

The growth of a Christian has been compared to that of a tree in several places in the Bible. In Psalms 1:1-3, David says, “…He shall be LIKE A TREE planted by rivers of water that bring forth its fruit in its season….” David compared a man who delighted in God to a tree whose end is to bear fruit and prosper in all his ways. This reveals if the tree does not bear fruit it shall not prosper. Likewise, if a Christian does not bear fruit, he shall not prosper in his endeavors and may even earn condemnation. Let’s take a look at Matthew 21:18-19.

BE PERFECT

One of the admonishments of Jesus which has become very debatable in the Kingdom is “be perfect”. Many people including believers have considered the whole issue of perfection to be something impossible. I do believe the same too. As far as we are in this world struggle for perfection is only but a tribulation. Perfection is a state of excellence without faults, errors or flaws. This state cannot be achieved easily in the earth realm because nuggets of evil thoughts, lusts, etc. bombard us round about daily.
