*THE FAMILY ALTAR*
_Friday, 26th of June, 2026_
Topic: *FAITH IS AN EVIDENCE*
*Bible Text* : Hebrews 11:1
_Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen._ [NKJV]
· *Just a Charge* :
Faith is not just a substance; it is also “an evidence” …… “of things not seen”. Evidence is fact or sign that shows clearly that something exists or is true. Other words that can be used as synonyms of evidence are “proof”, “demonstration”, “conviction” or “persuasion”. Faith evidences the reality and certainty of future things, it materializes invisible realities of another world unto our minds, and causes us to believe them as strongly as what we see with our physical eyes. A lively faith gives such a reality, certainty, and present being to things “hoped for”, and yet to come, as if they were visibly seen and actually enjoyed. Without faith we would be limited to the very narrow world comprehended by the human senses!
For instance, eternal life is promised to us, but it only becomes “real” and realized after we sleep the sleep of death here on earth. Meanwhile, our faith makes this promise so real to us as if we have already literally inherited it. Again, we are promised abundance of all goods. Faith gives us the persuasion that this promise is real, even though we still endure hunger and thirst! God declares that He is our present Help in time of trouble, and we expect Him to immediately come to our help whenever in trouble. Meanwhile, He seems deaf to our cries! Yet, faith keeps us convinced He will yet appear unto our help!
What would have been our lot in this world if we do not have faith and hope to lean on? Faith makes our face to shine in a hopeless world! The indestructible proof of faith continually makes God and His promises real unto us, even though neither have we seen! Faith keeps us following God even when the world says there is no God; all because He is real to us! No wonder that no one can please Him without faith!
May our faith live on unto the end of our realization of unseen but real eternity, in Jesus mighty name. Amen! May we never lose the evidence of faith all through our pilgrimage here on earth, in Jesus name. Amen! May God strengthen our faith and keep our conviction alive from today, in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
I wish you a very fulfilling day.
· *Think upon this* :
What would have been our lot in this world if we do not have faith and hope to lean on? Faith makes our face to shine in a hopeless world!
· *Today's scripture meditation* :
Psalms 27:13
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. (KJV)
· *Prayer Points* :
1. Thank God for preserving you and all yours alive today.
2. Our God is faithful. He is able to do all He has promised to do. Worship Him for this.
3. Without faith, no man can receive anything from God. With a repentant heart, ask God to forgive your faithlessness today.
4. Father, please strengthen my faith in You today, in Jesus might name.
5. Father, revive my hope in Your promises today, in Jesus mighty name.
6. Father, please help me never to faint in my hope of eternity with You, in Jesus name. Let my faith in You keep me strong in hope to the end, in Jesus name.
7. Let us hand over our life and the lives of all that concerns us unto God. Father, please keep us save and secure from all the evil of the day, in Jesus name.
