F AITH (The D efining Moment)

1. “ Our faith honors God & God honors our faith ” “Faith is an entry to a supernatural relationship with a supernatural God in a supernatural experience that produces supernatural results.” FAITH(The Defining Moment) But faith must be realized, exercised and practiced in our own personal life if we are to be men and women of faith. I mean not only to be people of faith but to be people of righteousness as the Bible tells us that “The Just shall live by Faith- Romans 1:17” Now Faith can be practically define in one word, and that’s Action! • “There was a story of a community of farmers in China who prayed for the rain after so many months of drought that brought famine & starvation in the land. • So at once they gathered together to pray all night along with their pastor asking God for the rain to come. • When they’ve come to the place to expect God for the answer… One boy came with an umbrella . And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Heb. 11:6 All the heroes or Stalwarts of faith are heroes of action (Heb. 11) By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain(Heb 11:4) By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God(Heb 11:5) By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household(Heb. 11:7) By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance.(Heb. 11:8) • “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” James 2:26 • pastor dee s. tima-an . mount olives church of God- singapore069113 . pastordee@mtolivescog.org
