It's good to come your way again.
Still on our discussion on the topic: SURVIVAL KITS FOR OVERCOMING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
Using the acrostic SURVIVAL, we have looked at letters S, U and R.
S = SEEK THE LORD
U = USE YOUR MIND
R = REINVENT YOURSELF .
Today we will be looking at letter V which stands for VOCAL FAITH.
Bible account in Genesis chapter 1 says darkness was on the face of the deep of the earth.
And God spoke light into being. Genesis chapter 1 and verse 3 " Then God said, ' let there be light ': and there was light"
It's important to note that the word "created" in Genesis chapter 1, verse 1 is from the Hebrew root word- Bara which means to create something out of nothing.
This takes us to the three important facts on faith.
1. Creative declaration precedes creative manifestation.
2. God can have a finished product without any raw material.
3. Creativity is also preceded by order.
Life will naturally throw challenges. However, for the believer to have victory over the challenges of life, he or she must apply the principles of faith and one of such principles is the principle of VOCAL FAITH.
It is the speaking into manifestation the word of faith. In other words, making bold declarations of the conviction of your faith even in the midst of
your challenges.
2 Corinthians chapter 4, verse 13 says
"And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, 'I believed and therefore I spoke,' we also believe and therefore speak."
You don't make empty declarations, you have to locate the promise of God in His word that addresses your situation after which you give that promise your voice for affirmation.
In Mark chapter 11, verses 22-26, Jesus demonstrated and taught His disciples the principle of faith emphasizing the importance of making Faith- filled declarations.
He instructed the disciples to "have faith in God" saying "Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
Jesus' statement, "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them," highlights the significance of speaking by faith, trusting that God will bring about the desired outcome.
By speaking faith-filled words, believers can move mountains and overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
His teaching also underscores the creative and transformative power of faith-filled speech, encouraging believers to align their words with God's promises and trust in God's sovereignty.
I pray for you today, that every siege against your finances and any aspect of your life be over in this season IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
