THY FAITH
SCRIPTURE READING
Habakkuk 2:4
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live
by his faith.
Mark 5:34
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace,
and be whole of thy plague.
THEME
Faith is the key to receiving from God; therefore, we must constantly exercise
our faith. We must not become dependent upon the faith of others to get our
needs met, but we must exercise “our” faith with an awareness that “our” faith
pleases God, Who, in turn, meets our needs.
INTRODUCTION
A. Faith is the key to receiving from God.
1. Two forces are necessary for getting needs met--faith and
power.
2. Neither faith nor power standing alone will accomplish the
desired results.
3. Faith is the force which transmits the “power” from its
source to the need.
B. The just shall live by “his” faith, not by the faith of someone else.
(Habakkuk 2:4)
1. Too often, people rely on the faith of others to work in their
behalf, especially in difficult situations.
2. The responsibility for receiving from God is ours, not
someone else’s.1
3. God expects us to mature to the point that we can stand on
our own spiritual feet.
4. Often, another’s faith is both inconvenient and inadequate
for us; therefore, we must develop our faith. By Bishop Benard Ludondo.
