By Apostle Alex Adusei Agyemang

Romans 4:18-19KJV

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

 

Faith is not a denial of facts, it is rather denying the facts the ability and authority to control the circumstances of your life, that is faith.

The beautiful thing about the Word of God is that the Word of God explains himself. He is His own dictionary. You don’t need to go to the webster’s dictionary for explanations. You have to understand that you are told not to conform to the pattern of this world. The definitions in a dictionary may conform to the pattern of this world. There are preachers who define faith  and love from the dictionary. This is sad, no wonder the flocks may not understand what faith really is.

God defines faith to us, He helps us to understand what is expected of us. You don’t have to pretend with faith, it may come with casualties. Faith in pretense will cause shipwreck.

As far as God is concerned, no report of the senses should cause you to doubt His Word. To do that is to be weak in faith. Weak faith is vacillating, it is unstable. It lacks certainty.

Abraham, the father and prime example of faith was confronted with a similar case.

God had given His Word  but Abraham was confronted with medical facts, He had a decision to make, whether to consider and esteem the medical report or to cast himself and hold on to what God had said so the Bible says,

“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;”

This is why many Christians died from the Covid-19 pandemic, when presented with the same situation, unlike Abraham they staggered at the Word of God which says, “ they shall drink any deadly thing and it shall not hurt them”. They staggered because of a doctor’s report or symptoms.

There is nothing wrong with doctors, they are doing their jobs but when you choose to hold on to a doctor’s report, if medical science doesn’t have the solution, you are going to die. It is as simple as that. There are not many men of God bold to tell Christians this important truth.

Faith is for the tough minded, it is for the one who has come to believe in the Word of the Great God.

Like Abraham, he has cast himself upon God’s Word. Faith is when the Word of God alone is enough for you. Faith is not the Word of God plus another solution, that is weak faith. When Abraham tried another solution to the Word of God, it produced Ishmael. Faith is resolute in the Word of God, He is fully persuaded, certain and convinced about the Word.

God had to come to Abraham and correct him, after he brought forth Ishmael. His Word ought to be enough for Abraham. Faith is when the Word of God is enough for you

 God bless you!
