Wisdom For The Day Devotional 16 May 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Hold On To Your Faith
TOPIC: Hold On To Your Faith (TREM Devotional 16 May 2022)
“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God “. Romans 4:20 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Beloved, today, I want to challenge you to hold on to your faith in God. If God has said something to you, don’t let any man pull you out of your steadfastness, commitment, dedication, and faithfulness. God is not a man that He would lie neither is He the son of man that he would repent. If He said It, He will bring it to pass.
Abraham never stopped believing. He refused to be distracted by the things around him. There are scoffers released by the enemy because he knows that he is losing ground. That is why he is jumping into places of worship and distracting people. That is why some people will start in faith and end up in the flesh. That will not be your portion.
The book of 2 Peter 3:8 says: “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day”. In other words, God sees a thousand years as now because He does not have tomorrow to answer prayers. It is now. ‘Now Faith is….’ (Hebrews11:1) That is simply saying to you that faith is now. A thousand years are like now to God because He created time by Himself. In His domain, there is no time frame. He is the same, at all times and so whatever He promised, it is not what he is going to do or about to do. He has already done it. The devil cannot change what God has perfected in eternity. Your miracle is now! Whatever your desire is has been done and that’s why Jesus said, “It is finished.” All you have to do is, keep standing. Don’t allow the enemy to shake your faith because you already have the answer to all your questions.
No matter how it looks on the outside, your manifestation is guaranteed. What you should do in times like this is to keep on praising God. Even when it doesn’t look good, just keep on praising Him. That was what Abraham did! And God came through for him. Keep standing and keep praising God. He will certainly come through for you.
