THE MYSTERY OF FAITH

SCRIPTURE: ‘Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.’ – 1Timothy 3:9    
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Men and women of faith do not follow feelings but insight or light. 
 
The subject, faith, is a spiritual mystery in the hearts of many people. There are many children of God who ask the question, ‘What is faith and how does it work?’ The answer is important because understanding the mystery of faith makes a man to escape mockery and slavery in life. 
 
So, the first question to ask is, ‘what is faith?’ 
 
1. Faith is living in the light of the Scripture instead of walking by sight.
When you make up your mind to live by the light of Scripture and not by what you see, that is faith. When men say they are cast down, you will say, ‘There is a lifting up’ (Job 22:29 paraphrased); that is faith. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong’ (Joel 3:10); that is faith. Men and women of faith do not follow feelings but insight or light. 
 
2. Faith is obedience to Divine instructions to provoke supernatural responses. God asked Abraham to move to a land he would show him. He obeyed and God showed up to confirm that he did the right thing. So, people of faith are people of obedience. There is no disobedient person that is a person of faith. Anybody who rebels against the Word of God does not have faith. 
 
Remember this: men and women of faith do not follow feelings but insight or light.
