Romans 14:22(KJV)
“Hast thou faith? have
it to thyself before God…”
Do you know that there is a limit to how
far you can carry people on your faith? This is necessary for you to understand
because some people try to believe for other people and then when it does not
work, they say God has failed them.
There are things you must realize, you
cannot force your faith on people, our text for meditation says if you have
faith, have it to thyself before God. Don’t try to force your faith on other people
especially if they are not under your authority. Who are the people your faith
will work for?
Firstly, parents can believe for their
children, that is, you can carry your children on your faith and that also has
its limits. A time will come when God will expect them to stand on their own
two feet and believe for themselves depending on the exposure they have had to
the life of faith.
Secondly, husband and wives can carry each
other on their faith for a while and in certain areas especially if they are
just married and one is more exposed to this life style than the other. But I
know after a while you will not be able to anymore, the best you will be able
to do is to come into agreement with one another in matters that affect the
other person.
