The exploits of faith (Hebrews 11:1-31)

The exploits of faith Hebrews 11:1-31

Hebrews 11:32

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

Faith is action. Faith is spiritual. Faith is dynamic. It is a dynamic spiritual action. It is up to date. It even brings the future closer to us and makes it more real. It is telescopic. It is prophetic. It sees both what is visible and invisible . Not only does faith see what is invisible, it touches it, it handles it and it possesses it. In other words faith makes invisible things visible, tangible and real. The scriptures confirm that faith is the evidence. It is the testimony, the proof, the surety you can hold when what you are looking for is yet to manifest.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith will take you to places of honour and keep you there. Faith will bring you healing, and keep you healthy. Faith will not only author your deliverance, it will keep you free forever. Faith is what you need. It is your proof that your future is guaranteed, your job, business, marriage, education and health are secured.

From the scriptures that we read, we see faith transforming ordinary people to extraordinary and mundane actions to legendary. When you start having faith in God you begin to chart a course that will bring out the legend in you. Faith in God will augment you. It will promote you. It did all these to people in the past,

Hebrews 11:2

For by it the elders obtained a good report.

it is doing the same now and it will do this for ever because as a spiritual substance, it abides forever. Have faith today and the challenges will be history. The weakness will bell strength, the poverty will be prosperity, pain will be gain, shame fame, fruitlessness fruitfulness and disappointments, divine appointments.

Faith is the answer.

But how do we have faith? Romans 10:17

How do we increase our faith? Luke 17:1-5
