Most of the time when we say we have FAITH, we based it on the motivation that we have. How God will act on our behalf because we firmly believe so. While this is not necessarily wrong, however, we may not have fully grasp what faith really means or had truly exercise faith. While God is great and limitless, we may have placed him in that small box of "our faith"..
A lot of people say they believe in God, but how many people surrendered their everyday lives to God? You see, Faith is a Substance (title deed, confirmation, shape, form, structure) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 AMP). Faith becomes a substance when it has weight on it. Faith becomes faith when we surrender. We have to exercise our Faith everyday by surrendering to God. Faith is not just a belief, it takes action. (Even the devil believes in God).
Why was Abraham called the "Father of Faith?". Hebrews 11:17 says it clearly, "By FAITH Abraham, when he was tested OFFERED Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to SACRIFICE his only son". Abraham became the Father of Faith from this very act of surrender.. And after that act of surrender, God had pronounced blessings after blessings over Abraham's life..
The question is, do we have that kind of FAITH? (deep breath)
