Word of Hope for Today with Bro. Rolly Custodio
FAITH: THINGS HOPED FOR
‘Lord, increase our faith’ Luke 17:5 NKJ
Today’s Insight
The Bible says, ‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’ (Hebrews 11:1 NKJ). So faith is substantial. Faith isn’t just for the William Wilberforces and Mother Teresas of this world; it’s for ordinary you too.
You use faith every day. You go shopping on the internet – you pay online. Do you get what you ordered right away? No, you get the receipt emailed to you. The receipt is your proof you’ve bought it while you wait for the item to arrive in the mail.
Faith is the same. You pray your prayer and God gives you a word or assurance in your spirit. You might not have received what you asked for yet, but you know Heaven’s postal system is on the job. Your faith is the receipt or the substance you hold onto while you wait. Faith is also evidence. How do you know the online shop is going to honour your purchase? Because you trust. You’ve seen other customers receive their orders. You have evidence that this isn’t some scam.
It’s the same with faith. There is evidence all around the globe that people have their prayers answered. So you continue to trust.
So what now? Ask other Christians for examples of how God has answered their prayers in the past. And how they are still waiting on some promises to be fulfilled. Be encouraged by their faith while they wait.
Parallel Verses: Job 32-34, Matt 2:1-8, Ps 97, Ecc 10:20 – 11:3
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Lord thank you for reaching us and give us faith to consistently follow you and your word. Lord gives us faith that moves mountain and changes our lives for blessing to others. Make us as an instrument of blessing and be faithful children ready to serve and submit our lives for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others that they may receive Eternal Life also.
