The righteousness of faith.

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”   

Acts 20:32.

God builds your life with His word. The word of God is a divine transporter. That is why Paul the Apostle said in our opening scripture, “I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” Develop your relationship with the word of God because, if you do not have a relationship with the word of God, you will be frustrated in life. Building your life on the word of God is building your life on the sure foundation of faith. Why is this important?

The bible says in Romans 4:13, “For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.” So, if you are going to be a partaker of God’s promise to Abraham, it is going to have to be by the righteousness of faith. That faith is what stirs up the Abrahamic blessing and causes it to function in your life. That blessing carries in it greatness, prosperity, unusual favor, dominion, abundance and increase in the superlative with it. So, when you begin to function in this blessing through the righteousness of faith, it will bring you into your rest.

Faith is rest. You can never enjoy more favor beyond the level of your faith. Neither can you enjoy prosperity or any of these blessings beyond the level of your faith. The measure of favor, prosperity, greatness, etc. you enjoy is equivalent to the measure of your faith.

Your faith is the key; your faith is the currency with which you make withdrawals in the kingdom of God. So, growing your faith and nurturing you faith by putting it to work should be your priority if you want to live in God’s rest.

PRAYER

Father, as I commit to developing my faith, may my heart always be good ground for your word, such that the word will produce a hundred fold harvest in me. In Jesus Name. Amen.

DOING THE WORD

The quality of your faith reveals the quality of your life. So, grow your faith.
