Faith
*Cartegories or types of Faith.
cont....
HOLY FAITH
Jude 1:20
A holy faith is a faith that lives separate.This is a sanctified faith.A sanctified faith is a faith which is rooted,established and built solely in the things of God.This is a faith that recognizes the Cross and the ressurection and its essence and significance only.
It cannot be wavered or shaken by circimstances.It is a kind of Faith thatrips through obstacles at all cost for it counts not itself but looks at Christ as the author and finisher.It stands to manfest itself even when the chances may seem God wont answer of the circustances.
Shadrack,meshack and abednego had such a faith when they told the king,live long oh king but know even if He doesnt save us we will not bow.This is the Faith that confessed in Job that ,even if he slays me even in death I will trust him.A holy faith hopes beyond the hope.For it has sanctified itself in God to a point that it confesses Iam persuaded beyond my understanding that He who started shall accomplish.It is not moved by storms but rejoices in storms.There is nothing that can rise against her and prevail.
To caltivate this kind of faith you have to trust in God fully.The scriptures record Trust in the LORD with all thine heart,and lean not unto thy own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge Him.Proverbs 3:5-12.There are vital issues addressed here that many have failed in them.
*The first directive of this Holy faith is "Trust" .This talks of clinginging unto Christ.It talks of abiding in Christ.It is holding unto Christ.This talks of not being moved from Christ Jesus.It is written ,And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings,yea,moreover,of bonds and imprisonment;They were stoned ,they were sawn assunder,were tested,were slain with the sword;they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins;being destitute,afflicted,tormented.Of whom the world was not worthy;they wandered in deserts,and in mountains,and in dens and caves of the earth.And these all,having received witness through faith received not the promise.God having provided some better thing for us ,that they without us should not be made perfect.Hebrews 11:36-40.These guys had a holy faith to a point nothing moved them.their trust was fully in the Lord.
This brings us to the second level which is "In the LORD"
The word or name LORD means one who reigns over and controls everything.A faith that sets Jesus as its LORD is a faith that knows the way of a man is not in himself ,and it is not in a man that walkes to direct his steps.Jeremiah 10:23.This holy faith knows and surrenders to the Lordship of Christ for the steps of a righteous man are directed by God.She knows he controls and reigns over sicknesses,storms of life,battles and wars of the believer.And she confesses with deep surrender that I know after he has tried me ,I will come out pure.This is a faith that can do nothing unless it is in tge scriptures.here is where she cannot make decisions of her own,live as she wants,go where she wants but untill it is by the leading of the Holy Spirit.Thats a faith that says for I to live is Christ.Philippians 1:21.Who is your "LORD" and who do you live for.
The next thing the Holy faith brings out the life of a believer here is "with all thy heart".Many Christians lack on this faitg coz whatever they do and the life they live pupporting to be unto Christ doesnt stem from the heart.They live a double life of Christianity.one leg in Christ another in the World.When you follow them you The cant tell if it is Christ or the world they live for.The bible calls them lukewarm christians.Remember Christ rebuking the church of Laodeceans for being lukewarm. To this brethren whatever goes goes as long as it will give them a little comfort from pressure and the problem they are facing.How do you live your life???The bible says guard your heart with all diligence for out of it are issues of life.and it goes further to say;A mans heart is so wicked .But with a Hoky faith one shall be able to control his or her heart for it is fully on God.

TYPES OF FAITH
*Faith is the ultimate engine of a believers life.And this Faith is faith in the finished work of the Cross and what it brought us.
-The crucifixion of Christ;His death on the Cross and Resurrection,marks a vital beginning and a paradigm shift in the life of human race especially them that shall believe it.
You see the event occured and it is open to anyone to believe it for it to effect that persons life.Yes it is a personal choice to believe and accept it in order its outcome be manifested in each individuals life.If you don't believe it,it cannot be bestowed unto you as osmosis.For each one has to carry his or her repucutions individually.
Jesus said let it be unto you according to your faith Mathew 9:29.So this means Faith is the transport unto which we receive things from God.

(3)DEAD FAITH
James 2:17
James also called the senior who was the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ.was a scholar and one of a staunch student of the law before turning to believe that Jesus his brother was the Messiah.Many can fail to believe you.but live to the ultimate till your absence will draw them to what you believed in or what you lived for.James writting about faith and practical christian living,says Faith without works is dead.And now this is what we call a dead faith.a faith that is not backed by anything to show that it is alive or it exists.You see Faith does not hang on itself that its there.it has to be accampanied by actions which are called works that prove in what you believe.In John 15:2 Our Lord Jesus says,any branch that bears no fruit is taken away.This shows that our faith has to bear fruit for people to see what we believe many have failed here and the scripture calls them hypocrites

TYPES OF FAITH
2Corinthians 4:13;5:7
(1)Insufficient Faith
Romans 10:17
-When you listen to the things contrary to God they birth a faith and this faith is called Insufficient faith.It is a faith that comes when one is not listening to the Word of God.For it is written faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God.Faith has a path and that path is the Word of God.If you dont listen to the word and this word must be the rightly devided word of God,then you wont have a full faith that stems from God.
The word gives an understanding of Who God is to us,A Father.And what Christ did to us on the Cross and its outcome.The Word makes us understand our standing ,position,state in Christ.Read the Word and meditate on it to have a sufficient Faith.Intensive teachings not hot air one verse shoutings that will make you mulnutrited in the things of God.
(2)Little Faith
Mathew 14:31
Little faith is a faith that hears the Word but doesnt put it into practice.Many Christians are in this cartegory.They hear the word for fun.It birthes a Faith in them but because they dont exercise it.it becomes little.
Saul as king never exercised his faith thats why when Goliath appeared he seemes to big to defeat him.He had faith but during battles he trusted in other people to fight for him while he merryied.Our faith must be put in exercise.learn how to pray and fight some battles alone.Not everytime ,Pastor pray for me,brethren pray for me.it is good for cooperate prayer but it has to come when you are standing in faith strong so that you just agree with brethren for the situation when its intense but dont make others to be atm of your prayers.You dont pray,you dont fast coz others or Pastor is fasting and praying for you.I promise you youll remain a baby forever in the things of faith not growing.A times let them hear it happened and you made through.David exercised his faith thats why he was able to defeat Goliath.Peter panicked coz his focus was on the storm mo much than Christ.

FAITH
Hebrews 11:1;6;39,James 2:17,Gen 3:20.Heb 10:22;38
The essence of Faith consists in believing and receiving what God has revealed,and maybe defined asthat trust in the God of the scriptures and in Jesus Christ whom He has sent,which receives Him as Lord and Savior and impels to loving obedience and good works John 1:12;James 2:14-26.
The particular uses of Faith give rise to itssecondary definitions:-
(1)For Salvation
Faith is personal trust,apart from meritorious works,in the Lord Jesus Christ as delivered because of our offenses and raised again because of our justification Romans 4:5,23-25;5:1.
(2)AS USED IN PRAYER
Faith is "the confidence we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will,he hears us 1 John 5:14-15.This is what drives us into intensful prayer for we are assured of answers when we prayJeremiah 33:3.
(3)AS USED IN REFERENCE TO UNSEEN THINGS OF WHICH THE SCRIPTURE SPEAKS.
Faith gives "substance" to them.so that we act upon the conviction of their reality Hebrews 11:1-3.This is what gives us the boldness to draw near the throne of our Father for already we know we have what we asked of ,for God is not a man that he may lie.
(4)AS A WORKING PRINCIPLE IN LIFE
Faith is demonstrated as life that a righteous man lives.Hebrews 11.This is what moved Abraham to be persuaded beyond human understanding that He who promised will perfom it.

SPIRITUAL TRUE WORSHIP
Romans 12:1-2
Continuation....
We are commanded in Deuteronomy 6:13,to fear the LORD our God and serve Him and Swear by His Holy Name.
-Part of this verse was quoted by Lord Jesus when He waa being tempted by the devil.Mathew 4:10.By doing so He emphasized the truth that men must be very careful in the object of their Worship and that only Jehovah,the God of Israel,the God of the Bible ,the creator of the universe should be worshipped and served.The Hebrew word here translated "Serve" also means "worship".
The word is "abad"-avadh spelled "aw-bad"(to serve).This word is used in Deutronomy 6:13.It is often translated as "serve" and its use in this context indicates that a primary expression of worship is active service and obedience to God.The concept of work and worship and intertwined in this classical Hebrew word.It means to "serve" or "work".This emphasizes that worship is an act of service,devotion,and obedience to God ,rather than solely a religious ceremony.
*God is entitled to the Worship of every human being on earth,and He has demanded that worship of man at all times.
*The worship on Mt Gerizim was nothing but self-willed religion;The worship in Jerusalem was merely the test and proof of man's incompetence under the law to meet God.
Thats why Jesus Christ had to tell the woman that ,A time is coming and a time is when the true worshipers shall neither worship on the mountain nor Jerusalem but will worship in truth and spirit for the Father seeketh such.John 4:20-26.
*Christian worship is based on the possession of eternal life in the Son and the gift of the Holy Spirit as the power to worship.Philippians 3:3.For the Holy Spirit came but to perfect our worship in Christ to the Father.

SPIRITUAL TRUE WORSHIP
Romans 12:1-2
Continuation ........
Yet the true worship doesn't concern us.
In the first practice of worship ever was when The first two brothers approached God with offering.Cain and Abel.The bible says Cain brought his fruit of the ground an offering to God.He gave his strength ,his effort,his sweat.But Abel did not just pick any of the animals.But went for the specific,"the Firstlings of the flock".When we read the scriptures we find later that firstlings became a more important position in Gods heart and dealings with man.Therefore Abel touched God's heart with his worship.
In this we learn that without a revelation you cannot worship God as He is supposed to be worshipped.God is spirit and you have to believe in Him that He is by Faith for you to approach him in worship.He does not respond to systems but He responds to sincerity .Our Relationship with God is not based on matrix but it is based on faith.Hence without Faith it is impossible to please Him.Hebrews 11:6.Cain never gave by faith but its Abel that the Scriptures record and by faith Abel gave unto God an offering of worship.Hebrews 11:4.It was a righteous giving.A righteous worship means it didnt concern him but it concerned God,it did not concern himself.
The second duo are Saul and David.As much as worship is love responding to love it also entails our obedience to the voice of God which forms the way we live and conduct ourselves in our daily lives.Saul failed when he chose fatty animals and selfish honor against obedience to the voice of Gods instructions.But David rendered his heart,his wholeself by saying such me oh Lord and see if there is any hidden evil in me and remove it and lead me in your paths of righteousness.In prayer the Holy Spirit guides us and in worship He reveals Jesus unto us and gives us the Revelation of the Word.A selfish heart cannot worship God.
The Scriptures record records that there is a yearning desire beyond horizons in the heart of one,one that is immortal,all knowing,full of wisdom,all powerful heart of God.A desire that moves to search and seek True worshipers.

SPIRITUAL TRUE WORSHIP
Romans 12:1-2
Continuation .....
-So God punished sin on himself ,someone had to die coz the wages of sin is death in order for man to live,therefore God in the form of man Jesus had to die the death of man and punish sin in order to birth righteousness and Holiness in man.
-Therefore ,worship is our love responding to the death that Christ took for us in order we may live again.Thus worship is love responding to love.
Now this responding love as worship mut be done truthfully .It must be true.The bible says that the hour comes and the hour is when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth,for the Father seeketh such to worship him.God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and Truth.
For God to manfest in every step of our lives,our worship must be of truth.It must come from a heart that is without selfishness .For the spirit of God is so unusual that if you are selfish you cannot worship God.Many things and sessions we call worship are events that concerns us.

SPIRITUAL TRUE WORSHIP
Romans 12:1-2
*When you hear of Spiritual True Worship,know,there is also carnal false worship.
There is a spiritual true worship,driven by the Holy Spirit for it is only birthed from him..
As we know worship is love responding to love.In essence it is our love responding to the greater love of God that was shed on the Cross for us.
-God had said the soul that sins shall die Ezekiel 18:20.In the garden of eden God created a man who was given an option of Choice;to live life in abundance or to eat the fruit and die and this death was a total separation from God.
Therefore when man sinned ,God had to punish sin in order for man to live in his presence again.

RIGHTEOUSNESS
Luke 2:25
(old testament summary)
The words "righteous" and "just" are used to translate the Hebrew yashar,"upright";tsaddiq,"just".In these words but one idea inheres:the righteous or the just man is so called because he is right with God;and he is right with God because he has walked "in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless" Luke 1:6,Romans 10:5,Philippians 3:6.
The Old Testament righteous man was not sinless Ecclesiastes 7:20;but one who for his sins,trusted the coming Messiah and offered in faith the required sacrifice eg Leviticus 4:27-35.

CONDITIONS OF A FRUITFUL LIFE IN CHRIST
John 15:2
(3)Obedience
John 15:10,12
Continuation.............
Jesus passed the test .He went right to the very heart of the Law and showed that the basis of all the Commands of God was Love.
Verse 37 is from Deutronomy 6:5 and verse 39 is Leviticus 19:18.read also Romans 13:8-10.
Our Lord Jesus called the words of this verse the greatest of all the commandments. Mathew 22:27,Mark 12:30,Luke 10:27
Love is the fulfilling of the whole law Romans 13:10;Galatians 5:14.
So when we love we are obedient and when we obey we become fruitful.
Our love of God must be sincere not in word and tongue only.
All our love is too little to be bestow upon him ,therefore all the powers of the soul must be engaged for him and carried out toward him.
