Devotion (The trumpeter):
Faith the access key

Romans 5:2KJV

 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

When a room contains a lot of goods but the door is locked, you will need the appropriate key to locate those goods. It doesn’t matter how much you cry that is not going to get the door opened, it will remain closed.

Such is faith; it is the access key you will need to locate those goodies in that closed room called Christ.

Why are rooms locked? They are locked to prevent thieves, undeserving and unqualified people to gain access but you expect the owner and the qualified to know how to appropriate the right key to gain an admission into the room but if the qualified will not follow the proper channel to get the access key, the door is going to remain closed even though he is qualified to go in.

Paul said,

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,……Romans 4:16KJV”

It is of faith, that it might be by grace. If it is going to be by grace, it ought to be of faith and God purposed it to be by grace hence without faith there is never going to be an access.

My brother, it is not that God doesn’t love you but being a good Christian is not enough. The access key is faith, it is of faith that it might be by grace.

This is what brings about the differences among Christians and this is why the Spirit called for an oneness in the faith. Without this oneness, there are always going to be differences.

Without this oneness, some will express the Christ life more than others

How does faith come? Faith like Paul disclosed comes by hearing the word of God and how can they hear without a preacher?

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?……Romans 10:14KJV

How can they expect, believe or have access to that which has not been preached to them?

If you preach about the gifts there will be faith for its manifestation, preach about divine healing and the casting out of devils and that door can be accessed.

Faith is vital, it is very important in the life of the Christian.

Jesus said,

“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?…….Luke 18:8KJV”

God bless you!
