Today's Focus: The FOOLISHNESS of FAITH that gives divine RESULTS in Christ in this World!
Truth to be told, FAITH based on the Word of God received from the Holy Spirit will make one look FOOLISH in the eyes of the World, but WISE in the sight and side of God. True!
However, I have discovered that many genuine Christians do not want to look FOOLISH before the World. However, you cannot look WISE before God in Christ in this World most times, without looking foolish before the World. True, but so sad!
Therefore,
1. Many genuine Christians can only THINK the THOUGHTS of FAITH from the Word of God they have mercifully and graciously received from the Holy Spirit privately, not publicly, because they do not want to be seen or called FOOLISH or labelled FOOLS by the people of the World. True!
Because of this, the THOUGHTS of FAITH, which are given to them by the Holy Spirit to become what God wants to see in their lives or to see them achieve for Him in Christ in this World become delayed, denied or dead in them in no distance time. So sad!
2. Many genuine Christians can only SPEAK the Words of FAITH from the Word of God they have mercifully and graciously received from the Holy Spirit privately, not publicly, because they do not want to be seen or called FOOLISH or labelled FOOLS by the people of the World. True!
Because of this, the WORDS of FAITH, which are given to them by the Holy Spirit to become what God wants to see in their lives or to see them achieve for Him in Christ in this World become delayed, denied or dead in them in no distance time. So sad!
3. Many genuine Christians can only LIVE out the INSTRUCTIONS of FAITH from the Word of God they have mercifully and graciously received from the Holy Spirit privately, not publicly, because they do not want to be seen or called FOOLISH or labelled FOOLS by the people of the World. True!
Because of this, the INSTRUCTIONS of FAITH, which are given to them by the Holy Spirit to become what God wants to see in their lives or to see them achieve for Him in Christ in this World become delayed, denied or dead in them in no distance time. So sad!
Jesus Christ observed and said thus:
I receive NOT honour from men. But I KNOW you, that you have NOT the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. HOW can you believe, which RECEIVE honour one of another, and SEEK NOT the honour that comes from God only? (John 5:40-44).
Jesus Christ is revealing that as long as you and I are seeking honour from men in this World, we CANNOT think, speak and live out God's instructions in Christ PUBLICLY in this World. Therefore, you cannot please Him and receive the reward that goes with FOOLISH thinking, speaking and living by FAITH in Christ in this World. True!
If FAITH is to be truly defined or practically looked at, it is a FOOLISH thinking, speaking and acting before humans based on the inspired or revealed Word of God received from the Holy Spirit par time par situation in Christ in this World. True!
Apostle Paul said thus:
Now we have received, NOT the spirit of the World, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might KNOW the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we SPEAK, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the NATURAL man receives NOT the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; 1 John 2:27).
So, know and note:
1. FAITH is a FOOLISH thinking before men, but wise thinking before God. Therefore, relax and let your faith result speaks for you at the end.
2. FAITH is a FOOLISH speaking before men, but wise speaking before God. Therefore, relax and let your faith result speaks for you at the end.
3. FAITH is a FOOLISH living before men, but wise living before God. Therefore, relax and let your faith result speaks for you at the end.
The Bible counsels us thus:
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this World, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this World is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness. And again, the Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. (1 Corinthians 3:18-20).
Always remember that it is a good FIGHT of FAITH because the people of the World driven by Satan (vis-à-vis demons) will fight your faith driven mindset, speaking language and lifestyle, which are contrary, but purposeful, powerful and productive than theirs. True! (1 Timothy 6:6-12; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
Think about it and do something about it because the only way out in Christ in this World, is the way of FAITH or living by FAITH. The Bible reveals to us thus:
Cast NOT away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of REWARD. For you have NEED of patience, that, after you have done the WILL of God, you might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the JUST shall live by FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have NO pleasure in him. But we are NOT of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:35-39; Hebrews 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
Know and note that it is only by thinking, speaking and living by FAITH, that we in Christ in this World OBTAIN good report and PLEASE God the Father in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals to us thus:
Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT seen. For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. But WITHOUT faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please Him: for He that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:1,2,6).
God the Father REWARDS only the FAITH of His Children in Christ based on His Word to them par time. That is, His Children in Christ in this World, who hears, believes and follows His leadings or obeys His instructions to them par time par their situation. True!
Think about it and don't be deceived, for men and women of FAITH throughout the Bible are FOOLISH persons before the World in their days on Earth. True! (Hebrews 11).
You too cannot be different, if you genuinely desire to SEE divine INTERVENTIONS and RESULTS in your life par time in Christ in this World. True!
Today's Focus from Scripture:
By FAITH Moses, when he was come to years, REFUSED to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; CHOOSING rather to SUFFER affliction with the people of God, THAN to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ESTEEMING the reproach of Christ GREATER riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had RESPECT unto the recompence of the REWARD. (Hebrews 11:24-26; 2 Timothy 2:11-13; Matthew 10:32,33).
Take note, take heed!
