The Door of Faith
Acts 14:27 - “And when they came, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.”
Our spiritual journey is incomplete without the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. While our natural faith may help us navigate life's challenges, it falls short when confronting the supernatural forces that seek to harm the faithful followers of Jesus Christ. These forces, led by fallen angels, relentlessly attack and attempt to silence those who have chosen to place their trust in the Lord.
Therefore, only through faith in Jesus Christ can one hope to overcome these spiritual obstacles and obtain true spiritual fulfillment. The gift of FAITH from God allows the faithful to experience countless and blessed opportunities.
The Door of Faith is the first of these opportunities, where God opens a door for the faithful to manifest His power and grace in their lives. This divine opportunity brings boldness and fearlessness to God's faithful as they obey and submit to His will.
Faith can transform any challenging situation into an opportunity to witness the power of God in action. Instead of reacting with fear and anxiety to hardships, we can respond with His strength and guidance. When we approach difficulties from a place of fear, we are bound to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when we put our trust in God and His infinite wisdom, we can be confident that everything that happens to us is ultimately for our good.
The Door of Faith is a path open not just for the faithful but also for those who lack faith and those without it. It is an opportunity for everyone to experience the saving grace of God. Upon entering the door of faith with obedience, we become carriers of the blessed gospel and spread the message of Christ's love and redemption to those who have yet to receive it.
As God's children, we possess the faith of Christ, which is bestowed upon us through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. This faith empowers us to face every circumstance and adversity with unwavering courage, knowing that we can manifest and glorify the love and grace of Christ through our actions and words. Every challenge we encounter is an opportunity to demonstrate our faith and to bring honor to Christ.
Our Prayer for today!
Dear God, we want to express our gratitude for the wonderful gift of faith that You have bestowed upon us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. This precious gift enables us to perceive every opportunity as a chance to experience Your power and share Your saving grace. We pray that You will help us overcome our fears and doubts and equip us always to do good work. We ask for Your blessings and guidance as we strive to live a life that is pleasing to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.
