Have Faith, Not Fear

Faith failure of a believer is equal to heart failure of the human body. If your faith is lost, you are prone to defeat in the spiritual battle. God cannot help you unless you believe in Him. He that comes to God must believe that He exists, and can save one from any situation.

Hebrews 11:6, says: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

During the departure of the captive Israelites from Egypt, the Bible recorded that they left with 'a high hand' , that is, boldly or proudly and defiantly,Exodus 14:8. However, when they saw that the Egyptians has closed in on them they were thrown into gross panic. They immediately spoke against Moses, saying that they were better of, with their slavery in Egypt. They quickly forgot that they were crying to God earlier in Egypt for redemption, Exodus 14:10-12.

 Exodus  14:12 says: "Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."


Are you easily thrown out of your faith when challenges arise? What do you do when your expectations delay and agitation overwhelms you? Who told you panic brings solutions? Know this, no man can save himself or anyone else except God. Take your challenges to God per time for without Him we can do nothing, John 15:5. By strength shall no man prevail 1Samuel 2:9. We can only do all things when God is backing us.

Philippians  4:13 says: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

As believers, we are not to stagger in faith but are to look upon God, the author and finisher of our faith. He makes all things good at His time. He makes all things work together for good, to them that obey, serve and love Him faithfully. No matter the circumstance, we are to look upon God and not on the challenges. We are to give Him praise and magnify Him above our situation. When we make God bigger than our problems, automatically our problems become incredibly small and soon vanish. God is bigger than all our problems already existing or yet to manifest. 

Psalms 34:5, says: "They looked unto Him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed."
You shall not see shame in Jesus name. Jesus is Lord!
