Checking into God’s Presence...  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrew 11:1-8 As a true believer, it is mandatory to understand the importance of faith in our day to day living in Christ. Hebrew 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.” You must have noticed that we live in a generation filled with so much mischief and unbelief. Significantly, this has some adverse effects on the household of God. Regrettably, the Church of God has now welcome and allow the spirit of fear, doubt and anxieties to infiltrate the church. People now find it so difficult to trust, obey and believe in what the Bible says. Now the generality of genuine Christians must seek the face of God harder through prayers, fasting and by observing the instructions of God before prayers can begin to have a meaningful effect on any child of God. In the darkness of our doubts, we act as if we believe in the word of God; but do we? Genuine faith involves stepping out of our comfort zones to do something new. We must also think that God is behind us and sure God’s got our backs, although we may not know and or pretend not to know. Our prayer should always be for the Lord to help us, so we can always believe in all that He says, albeit without attempting to doubt the power of His graciousness in Jesus Mighty Name.
