*WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT*

2Corinthians 5:7-8
_“For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord”._

The word ‘Walk’ metaphorically implies the way a person conducts his or her life. In essence the way we live.

We live in a time in which the days are evil. The bible talks of perilous times. How do you walk? By sight or by faith.
What’s in your view? What are you seeing through the lens you are seeing through? Paul declares in our text that the people of God, the believers in Christ Jesus should live by faith.

What is faith? Faith speaks of our belief, trust, confidence or faithfulness which is a gift from God.

Bible faith is believing without physical prove of God’s guaranteed promise or that which He revealed and promise to us. We already have it in the realm of the spirit by faith even though we have not seen it.

There are things that can only be seen by faith through the lens of the Word of God.

2Corinthians 2:14 “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place”.

Walking in faith in a world that is decaying makes one looks like a fool because God’s ways are different. The command here is to live by faith.

Habakkuk says, the righteous shall live by faith, reminding us of the faith of Abram. Genesis 15:6.

As a child of God, you must not build or live on your surroundings but to please God.

*GOD’S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT*

2Corinthians 12:9
_‘’And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.’’_

Today we read of Apostle Paul. He prayed three times for God to remove the thorns in his flesh and the Lord told him “My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness”.

God’s grace is defined as God’s unmerited favor. In other words getting what we do not deserve. What we deserve is God’s judgment and wrath but instead we get His love, mercy, goodness, righteousness, ability, power and blessing.

Grace is available to all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. It does not matter what you may be facing right now God’s grace is available to you.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.

God’s grace is the free and underserved help that God gives us to respond to His call of salvation. Yes, grace is available to all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God”.

It’s by grace that we obtain salvation.
If you are yet to be born again, you can receive grace and be a child of God today and qualify for God’s blessing. God’s grace is the key to overcoming trials, and living the abundant life that Jesus gives.

Regardless of what our theme maybe today, God is declaring to us through His Word that His grace is sufficient for us also. The question is do we believe?

Remember God’s grace is unmerited; none can buy or work for it. You don’t deserve it. It is simply God’s gift.

Nothing you are going through today is beyond God’s amazing grace. YES, his grace is sufficient for you.

*ASK FOR THE ANCIENT PATHS*

Jeremiah 6:16
_‘’Thus says the Lord: "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'’_

God in His Word has laid out His plan for humanity. God does not change.

Malachi 3:6 "For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore, you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob."

The same God of old is still the same God of today. He who spoke through the prophet Jeremiah to Israel about the old ancient path is still speaking to us today. The call to Israel then and to us today is to seek “the old ancient path” that God has set for us in His Word. This is the call to the nations today. The call is to ask for the old path and walk therein. Sadly, like Israel many are saying we will not walk in it.

Many today are still rejecting God’s plan and purpose.

Which path are you walking on today? Is it the road called “my way or the highway?"

Walking in the “old path” is walking in obedience to God’s word by faith.

2Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord”.

God’s promise to those who walk the “old path” is that they will find rest for their souls.
Why should we choose the old path?
God commands us to do so.

Matthew 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it”.

The command is to walk in the old paths with God. How do you know which ones are God’s desired path for you? The bible is the clearly written word of God.

Which path have you chosen to follow, is it God and His word; purity in your life?

*THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE EVERYWHERE*

Proverbs 15:3
_“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good”._

Feeling as though you are losing? I want you to know God is still on His throne watching and ruling the universe. Maybe you feel God has left or abandoned you. No, for God sees and knows all you are going through.

Life is full of ups and downs. We can allow life's trials to either make us bitter or better. We can allow them to make us do evil or do good. The choice is ours. God is watching the good and the bad from His throne. He does everything for a purpose, yet in the midst of it all He rules in the affairs of men. Scripture tells us the eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching over good and evil.

Where can we hide from God? He sees and knows all things.
Do not be discouraged, do not give up. His eye is what leads us into truth and righteousness. It’s the eye of God that reveals the wrongs in our lives, the dangers and pitfalls. It’s the eyes of the Lord that lead us in the path of success in Him and in the world.

Beloved, God’s eyesight is GREAT; He knows the beginning and the end. He is Alpha and Omega. He is watching us. Walk in this knowledge that God’s eyes are on you.

Hebrews 4:13 “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s eyes. He sees and knows everything.”

Job 28:24 “For he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens”.

Every realm of life is under God’s radar and nothing is hidden from Him.

As you go about your daily affairs, let us continue to be mindful of His eyes on us.

*HOLDING ON TO FAITH*

Hebrew 10:23
_‘’Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.‘’_

God wants us to have faith not just having faith but holding fast to our faith. We hold fast to faith by living for the Lord.

We must continue in our faith.
Acts 14:22 ‘’Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."

We need to live daily our faith. Daily reading of the Word, prayer and devotion should be a part of our daily faith walk.
Stand fast in the faith.

1Corinthians 16:13 “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong”.

The bible makes us know we are strong through His Word.

Romans 8:31-32 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

We must not get weary in doing what is right in the eyes of God but instead, let us finally grab hold of the power of our faith with all that is within us. Let us trust and patiently wait on God as we seize every opportunity to believe God when others are falling away from their faith. We must hold firm to the confession of our faith without wavering, because God has made a covenant promise with us to be faithful, to do what He says.

Sometimes life causes us to lose faith. God wants us to hold fast to our faith. We are to look through the lens of faith in God’s Word for the hope we need to walk in life.
When life gives opportunity to be fearful, doubtful and waver in our faith, we must stand in faith, holding on to faith.

*WHAT IS FREEDOM IN CHRIST?*

Deuteronomy 30:19-20
_“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before your life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."_

It is God’s will we be free. But what does it mean to live free in Christ? Does it imply doing whatever you like or want? No.

Freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without any restrain.
But freedom in Christ does mean doing what God wants for you. In our scripture reading we see God gives man freedom to choose.

Note: The counsel is to choose life. To choose life is to allow God to lead your life. If we so choose, the question we must ask ourselves is if God is not leading our lives who is? Is it your flesh and its desires?

Ephesians 2:3 "Among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others."

This verse tells us that we are slaves to our flesh when we are without Christ. But this is the truth: we are either slaves to Christ or to our flesh. We serve God or sin. There is no in-between, the difference is when we serve Christ.

He leads us to a life of joy, peace and salvation. We are free to enjoy a relationship with God that was once hindered by our entanglement with sin.

The bible makes us understand that when we serve our flesh, it leads to death and separation from God.

Galatians 6:8 ‘’For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.’’

So freedom in Christ means God grants us the power to overcome our sinful flesh and choose Him. Ephesians 2:1-3 explains it.

But Christ saved us from our sinful life and nature and made us alive in Christ. This means we now have the power to choose Christ. We have freedom.

Galatians 5:13 ‘’For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.’’

Freedom in Christ is the power to choose life in Him so that we may live for Him.

*WAYS TO LIVE FREE IN CHRIST II*

Galatians 5:1
_“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”._

We would continue today to look at what Christ has set us free from.

6. Freedom from death.

The greatest fear we all often face is death. But not only did Christ overcome death and grant eternal life to those who place their faith in Him, He also promised a life after death that is far greater than the life we live now with no pain and suffering but with eternal joy and peace.

1Corinthians 15:35-37 "But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else."

7. Freedom from works-based salvation.

Trying to work for our salvation is a heavy burden to carry because it is impossible to do. Instead, when we place our faith in Christ, He forgives our sins and gives us His righteousness. We are then free to enjoy our relationship with God without endless works and harmful legalism.

8. Freedom of comparison

Daily we are faced with the temptation of comparing ourselves to others and feel defeated if we don’t live up to standard. When we place our faith in Christ, however, we don’t live to the standard of this world because we know what God has for us. When we embrace the truth that God has purchased for us with unique gifts and plans for His kingdom, we can live free from trying to be like anyone other than ourselves.

9. Freedom from a wasted life.

As a child of God, we are free from sin and death but still run the risk of living an unfruitful and wasted life if we only avoid sin but don’t pursue God.

We can waste our life by focusing on things that don’t matter and by distracting ourselves with lesser things. Not necessarily sinful things but not the best that God has for us.

1Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify"

The good life in Christ doesn’t start when we die and go to heaven. It starts the moment we accept Christ into our hearts and exchange our sinful life with His abundant life.

John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Unfortunately, many stop at salvation and don’t experience abundant life because they become entrapped with the cares and distractions of this world. But when we truly let God not only save our lives but lead our lives, we are free to experience a peaceful and joyful life while it is still day.

10. Freedom from confusion.

God is a God of order. He places everything in order and orders our steps.

Proverbs 16:9 “A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps”.

When we trust God to lead our way, and delight in Him, we don’t have to be overcome with confusion but live free knowing each of our steps is purposely established by God Himself. He will make all things clear.

*WAYS TO LIVE FREE IN CHRIST*

Galatians 5:1
_“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”._

Have you ever wondered what it is that we as Christians are free from? We would be looking at ways Christ sets us free.

It is in Christ that we find total freedom.

1. Freedom from guilt.

Guilt is the result of committing sin that leaves one with a bad feeling of what he or she did. But Christ frees us from guilt by forgiving us of the sin we feel guilty of.

1John 1:9-10 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”.

2. Freedom from condemnation

Condemnation is when God is angry at our sin. The price Christ paid on the cross has satisfied God’s wrath for sin. So you are free from condemnation.

Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”

3. Freedom from worry.

Worry is the uneasy thought that something bad is going to happen in the future. Because God controls the future we don’t have to worry. We can live free of worry of tomorrow when we choose to trust God today, no matter what happens in future.

Matthew 6:33-34 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own”.

4. Freedom from people pleasing.

We often find ourselves overly occupied with what others think of us and as such modify our behavior and actions to get people to think about us or respond to us in a positive light. This however means all our actions are ruled by other’s thought of us and not God so we can satisfy our craving to be liked and accepted. When we realize that we are already loved and accepted by God, the chains of people pleasing falls off giving us time and freedom to live for Christ and not people.

Galatians 1:10 “For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

5. Freedom from fear.

Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by danger or the perception of danger. All through the bible, believers are commanded not to fear. Fear has torment. It causes us to stop walking in faith and leads you to doubt God. Faith however gives us the courage to move forward in the abundant life Christ wants for us to live.
Faith in Christ frees us from the stronghold of fear.

*STEPS TO LIVING FREE IN CHRIST*

Galatians 5:1
_“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”._

Today’s verse encourages us to stand firm in our liberty (freedom). It warns us that we can be set free and still not live free.

It tells us it’s possible to know Christ and not live free. How? When we still choose to live under sin. Remember when we accept Christ into our hearts, we are given the power to choose freedom, but we still have the power not to choose freedom. So what can we do to help us choose right and stand in our freedom?

1. First, we must accept God’s grace.

If we think we need to work for God’s approval or work for our sins, we will become slaves once again(an impossible case). When we accept that God did all the saving work for us on the cross, we release ourselves from working off a never-ending debt and stand and keep living free in God’s grace.

2. Secondly, we walk from a place of gratitude.

As children of God we are not saved by our good works, we are saved for good works. This means we are still called to live holy lives. Just because we are forgiven of our sins by God’s grace does not mean we don’t have to worry about living right. It now means that our living right isn’t from an indebted heart trying to pay God back, but from a grateful heart that is thankful. In response to God’s grace that frees us from work we were never called to.

3. Thirdly, we must walk by the Spirit.

One might think, how can I ensure I do not use my freedom to sin? The answer is to walk in the spirit. This means to love God and let him lead every area of your life. When you do, you don’t have to worry about doing everything perfect because the spirit will not lead you wrong. Your fears can be free from getting it wrong.

Let the spirit lead. We do this when we feed our spirit with the word than we feed our flesh. We pray to connect with God. We need the bible to feed on the truth and we serve and live in obedience to the Lord.
