Dunamis’ Seeds Of Destiny 2 August 2021 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Importance Of Faith
TOPIC: The Importance Of Faith
Your life, as a child of God, depends on your faith just as human beings depend on water for survival.
SCRIPTURE: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith: 2 Timothy 4:7
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your life, as a child of God, depends on your faith just as human beings depend on water for survival.
Faith is a vital component of the Christian life. That is why Christianity is also referred to as “The Faith.”
A major achievement of our Christian journey is, therefore, the keeping of our faith (2 Timothy 4:7). At the end of your life in the world, one of the marks of your success is that you kept the faith.
Now, keeping the faith is necessary because your life, as a child of God, depends on your faith just as human beings depend on water for survival.
Faith is the oxygen of the Spirit. That is why when faith fails, life is at risk.
It is important to know that faith can fail (Luke 22:31-32). And faith failure can be as disastrous to life as the failure of an aircraft engine. Faith failure is indeed disastrous to life. Therefore, we must guard our faith not to fail.
Now, why must we guard our faith not to fail?
- Faith is critical to life
Faith is a sustainer of life because the just only live by faith (Romans 1:17). So, when faith fails, life can end.
- Faith is a platform for victory
When you stand on the ground of faith, you are on the ground of victory (1 John 5:4).
Please understand this: when faith fails, life ends as casualty.
- Faith is the strength of our salvation
Ephesians 2:8 says:
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Faith is the sustainer of our salvation.
Beloved, my counsel is, ensure that your faith does not fail. Guard your faith!
Remember this: Your life, as a child of God, depends on your faith just as human beings depend on water for survival.
