Romans 14:22(KJV)
“Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before
God…”
“Cultivate your own relationship with God, but
don't impose it on others…”(MSG)
I left off yesterday with this words that you
ask yourself, rephrasing our text, “have I faith…” I want to pursue this a bit
more. Can you answer this question.” Now don’t get religious on me and think it
is pride to say you have faith.
No it is not. You better know that you
have faith to face the challenges of life before they come at you. So I ask
again, “Hast thou faith? You may ask how would I know I have
it? Firstly, though faith is a spiritual thing, it is real. You will know if it
is there or not. Secondly, you can know by the relationship that you have with
God. The message bible renders our text thus: “cultivate your own relationship
with God…” When you cultivate a relationship with God, faith rubs off on
you.
Thirdly, your relationship with the word of God
in definite areas will birth faith in you in those areas. Lastly, actually
exercising faith on a daily basis will keep you in shape faith wise. For
instance, if you go to a top athlete like Usain Bolt and ask if he can run a
hundred metres dash, he will tell you he can do it anytime. Why because he does
things that keep him in shape to do it. Though he might put in extra time for
practice for a major race, when such is close by, his body is conditioned
already to run a hundred metres dash.
