FAITH IN THE WISDOM OF GOD

1Corinthians 2:5

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

I feel impressed to bring your attention to this passage one more day. Last time I looked at this on a personal level, that is, the wisdom of men. But it is more so, on a corporate level. 


There are a lot of things that man naturally in his wisdom acts upon. It is generally believed that before you can afford to have some good things in life you must have be earning very highly, or you must go into debt. Or that it is only when you live in a certain part of the world that you can really have a good life. Some people begin to express “faith in God” from these positions.


The fall out from such is that you may begin to believe that you will have the good things of life because you have a good job, or that you are living in a certain part of the world or that you are working in a certain place. 


If you are that kind of person, then your faith is in the wisdom of men not in the power of God. Does it mean you should not desire to have a good job? No, it does not mean that, but that your faith should not be in the job but in God’s ability to provide.


CONFESSION: 

My faith is not in human philosophy, or machinations but in the ability of God.

WHOSE REPORTS WILL YOU BELIEVE?

Isaiah 53:1

“Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

Faith believes and holds unto the report of the Lord. The world we live in will present to you a lot of reports that are not in tandem with God’s report. You have economic report from the government, health report from your doctor, financial report from your bank statements. But thank God, He too has reports, and God’s reports are found in... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…

CONFESSION: 

I believe the report of the Lord. His report says I am healed, I am blessed, My needs are met.

LOVE IS A BELIEVER

1Corinthians 13:7 (NET)

“It (love) bears all things, believes all things…”

You know what love believes, love is a believer. He who loves is someone who believes. Jesus said he that loves me will keep my commandment. I paraphrase that to say he who loves God will believe or have faith in God. 

I want to say to you my friend that if you love God you should not have problem believing God, the same way, spouses should not have problem believing themselves and in one another. 

I have said before that you should have faith in the love of God, but now what I am saying to you is that... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss… 

LET YOUR FAITH STAND IN THE POWER OF GOD

1Corinthians 2:5

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

My Pastor, Dr Joda once told a story about a young man who was promised a job by an uncle of his who was the head of a government parastatal. He was asked to resume on a Monday but by the weekend there was a change of government and the uncle was relieved of his position, which automatically meant that the promise of a job can not come to reality for the young man. 

What you ask is the relevance of this? The young man spoken of above would have been rejoicing and telling people God would provide him a job.

One of the things you must be careful about in your faith walk is the ... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…

CONFESSION: 

My faith is in the power of God only.
