Now that you understand what is faith on the previous post, let us look at God`s faithfulness towards you. We need to walk by faith not by sight in the book of 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV “For we live by faith, not by sight” for God to show His faithfulness.

God`s faithfulness remains consistent and steadfast. Life can be very hard, challenging and seem unfair. When things don’t go the way we have planned it like the walls are closing in towards you and it feels like God doesn’t see what is happening. Nobody understands what you are going through or know how it feels to be in that situation that you are in. You know for an example you might be going through these challenges to list a few:

• Failing subjects in school
• Having no job, no money
• Not getting healed
• Loosing loved ones around you
• Not knowing what your next meal will come from
• Rejection feeling lonely like nobody cares about you
• Etc……

Tell you what, God remains faithful regardless of all these mentioned above and whatever problem or situation not listed, God remains faithful. I know when we are faced with troubles we tend to forget what God has done, what He has pulled you from in the past due to a present situation it all vanishes. He is faithful, He knew you before you were formed. In the book of Jeremiah 1: 5 NIV “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” If God knew you before, it means you are still known unto Him that you are present and you need assistance.

He is faithful and He shall do it 1 Thessalonians 5:24 NIV ” The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” Problem most of us we suffer from ” what will people say” syndrome that is why we use our own ability and still things don’t turn out the way we want. Let me force and get married because I’m not getting any younger what will people say. The syndrome is holding a lot of people some are even afraid to say it that I’m doing all this, because what will people say. Buying a car that you don’t need just because you want a bigger one to show off, what will people say if I buy a smaller car. Now you are all stressed with a car that you can not maintain. You choose physical sciences in school because what will people say if I’m doing travel & tourism they will think I’m not smart enough. Now here you are repeating a grade. These are just a few scenarios in a million, that people suffer from. Never look unto people but look unto God your creator. The starter and the finisher, the beginning and the end. King David says Psalms 121: 1-2 KJV “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, Which made heaven and earth.”

Trust God with all your heart Proverbs 3:5 NIV “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” It sounds so simple to say it, but it is difficult for us to do. Today I tell you lucky you have me to tell you that God loves you and He is faithful not in the morning only or during the day nor at night but He is faithful all the time. He wants to show you how faithful He is in that situation. In the book of Matthew 11: 28-30 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

You may be going through a season of rejection, loss, grief, or uncertainty. Do not be discouraged, there is good news for you: God`s faithfulness will never waver. We see Gods faithfulness evident in the scriptures in the lives of many men and women. Throughout personal difficulties, God continually provided, strengthened, comforted, and supported His children. Hannah had no child but God blessed her with a son named Samuel. God provided for the Israelites manna and did more for them while they were in the wilderness for 40 years.

I wont lie to you things will happen like out of control, but we must continue to give thanks for God`s faithfulness in our lives. Despite how you may feel or the circumstance that you are in, reflect on how God has been faithful to you. As homework now please go through these scriptures that I will mention just now, read them. I repeat read them they shall put your soul at ease knowing that God is faithful.

It might happen that you are reading this article and you really want God to take control in your life but you have not accepted the son as your personal savior the Lord Jesus Christ.

Please read the Lord`s prayer out while believing every word you will say:

Father I come before you, I have heard about your faithfulness. Please don’t pass me by I want to experience your love into my life. Please forgive me all my sins, I confess with my mouth and I believe in my heart that the Lord Jesus came into the world, died for me and rose on the 3rd day. So therefore now I know and believe that Jesus is the son of God and He is Lord and my savior. Please remove my name in the book of death and write my name in the book of life. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen.

See that was not so hard now you are officially the child of God. Now here are the scriptures that will strengthen you going forward.

I would love to hear from you, please drop a comment. Stay blessed God loves you always.

Yes you did not make a mistake to land on this post it by God`s purpose. So let us look at the word “faith” what does it mean? and people easily loose faith in alot of things and we just think or say it normal but it goes beyond the physical world. It a big word in the spiritual world.

Most of the time people like defining this word from the world’s perspective. for an example people will say it just means believing that something is true and than commit our lives to it.

Faith is God and his promises. In the bible book of Hebrews 11: 1 NIV it says “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” if we have assurance that God exists than what ever we hope for we have it because we believe.

Now because people they want touchable things they are deceived or robbed from what they believe in, or the believe part it there, but the patience part is the one that lacks because you see we want God to do things according to our calendar and time frame Isaiah 60:22 ” When the time is right , I the Lord will make it happen”. that what makes us to loose trust and believe that things shall be done for us. That is why in the book of Matthew NIV 7:7 ” Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”.

Trust God whatever that you are doubting or whatever that is troubling you, hang in there do not loose your trust in God do not loose your belief in him. He hears and he shall answer you it only a matter of time. It may be dark now but there is light at the end of the tunnel. God loves you, I repeat God loves you so much trust him and him only.

The book of Roman 10: 17 ” Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of God” take what you have read and heard today and hide it inside your heart while praying in faith that God is about to do it for you.
