THE MESSAGE
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH
**************************
1.SIN
John 3 :16 Mark 16:15-16 Luke 7 :
48-50
Through faith we can be saved from
sin . The word of God promises that whoever believes
on Jesus will not perish but have eternal life. We
must have faith in the Lord Jesus and his sacrifice on
the cross of Calvary . His blood cleanses us from all
sin. We must beleive that He is the Son of God and
that He died and rose again and that He is coming back
to take us to be with Him forever.
2.SICKNESS
Matthew 9: 18-30 James 5 :15
Through faith we can be healed from
sickness . The woman who had an issue of blood for
twelve years did not lose hope for her life. Instead
she had a strong faith in the power of the Lord Jesus
to heal her. She did not allow her past
disappointments to make her cynical and doubtful. She
reached out and touched the hem of the garment of
Jesus with faith and was healed of her sickness. Two
blind men came to Jesus for healing and Jesus asked
whether they believed that He could heal them . They
said ’yes’ and Jesus said ’ According to your faith
let it happen to you ’ and they were healed at once.
We must have faith to be healed from our sicknesses.
3.SUPPLY
Phillippians 4:19 Psalms 121:1-2
We must have faith to experience the
supply of our needs. We must must beleive that God
will supply all our needs according to His riches in
glory. We need not panic looking at our limited
resources. Instead we must have faith in the unlimited
resources at God’s disposal . We must trust the Lord
to supply our needs out of His abundant riches. We
should not look to people as our source of help and be
disappointed and bitter against them when they fail to
help us.
4.STRIFE
Ephesians 6:16 I John 5:4 Psalm
27 :1-3 Hebrews 10 : 35-38
We must have faith to experience
victory in all the battles and strife that we face.
Faith is the shield that protects us from the fiery
arrows of the enemy. We must not get discouraged and
lose hope and confidence. We must continue to have
faith in God’s promises of protection against all the
attacks of satan. It is through faith that we obtain
the victory that overcomes the world.
5.SUCCESS
Deutronomy 8: 12-14 Proverbs 30 :
8-9
We must have faith in times of
success and prosperity. We must not forget God in good
times and think we can live without Him. We must
always remember that it is God who has blessed us with
success and prosperity. We must not trust in uncertain
riches which can be taken away from us at any time.
Our faith must always be in God.
6.SORROW
I Thesselonians 4:13-18 John
14 :1 II Corinthians 1 : 3-4
We must have faith in times of
sorrow. We should not mourn in despair as others who
have no hope. Our faith in God must be revealed in
times of sorrow. We have the Holy Spirit the divine
Comforter who comforts us in sorrow . Our God is the
Father of all comfort who comforts us in all our
tribulations so that we can comfort others who go
through similar trials in life . We have the hope that
we shall meet our loved ones who have gone to be with
the Lord. This is a comfort in our times of sorrow.
7. SUFFERING
Romans 8:28 Phillippians 1:29
Hebrews 11 : 36-39 Genesis 50:20
We must have faith in times of
suffering. We must trust that all things are working
together for good because we love God and are called
according to His purpose. We must have this faith even
when we face situations that appear evil , painful ,
mysterious etc. We must beleive that God is in control
of our lives and and that He will work out everything
for good. Joseph told his brothers ’ You wanted to do
evil to me but God turned it to good’. We must trust
that God will do the same for us.
