BELIEVE Before You ACT

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

You need to build your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance your quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS; and or ACT on SUSPICION; and such like, which is a mere RELIGION. And God is about you having LIFE in His GRACE and not RELIGION. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith – LIFE in the GRACE, which is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL for you or on Men’s APPLAUDS for you or on self made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable  you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I wants you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.

Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of tREhings not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11).

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS: BE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF FAITH AGAINST FEAR PHOBIAS!

“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of CALM and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:6-7/AMP [Classic Edition].

Today’s food for thought – it’s for your daily FREEDOM over fear phobias; it’s for you to  build your faith against the spirit of fear – and to build faith is to hear and feed on the WORD – which is the sayings of God. For it’s TIME to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD – in order To build the STEADFAST FAITH that will enables you to RESIST – put to flight – the enemy and cohorts in their acts of EVIL and WICKEDNESS through FEAR; and to get the needed leverage to TRIUMPH over the EFFECT of FEAR by the FAITH in the WORD.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation .  .  . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

Therefore, give yourself to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD until it gets HOLD OF YOU and gives you the enabling to GET RID of that FEAR PHOBIAS that have held you in bondage. It’s your FREEDOM DAY, for God made the day, that you might REJOICE, be GLAD and be FREE from EVERY EVIL and WICKEDNESS in such a times as this, in our World. Psalms 118:25; Galatians 1:3-5; Isaiah 54:17; Luke 10:17-20; Luke 1:68-75.

When you set your heart – your human spirit-being to LOVE the WORD of God and to accordingly FEED your spirit-being healthily, you are by such BUILDING up the WORD of FAITH to OVERCOME the world FEAR BONDAGES. When you are FEEDING your spirit-being by the WORD – the SAYINGS of God and not by TRASH and GARBAGE, you knowingly and unknowingly ACTIVE the perfect LOVE that cast out FEAR. Perfect LOVE that CAST out the spirit of FEAR is of the consequence of the WORD of God that one loves. And FAITH WORKS by LOVE. 1 John 5:3-5, 1 John 4:17-18; Galatians 5:6; John 8:31-32; Proverbs 4:20-23.

Therefore, be emboldened by FEEDING on the WORD of God, such that the WORD of FAITH, working through LOVE, gives you the enabling stand in GRACE, to ACCESS your SALVATION in Christ Jesus. And as you act on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in CONTEXT, and CONFESSING to that same WORD of FAITH generated through FEEDING on the WORD, you can become what the WORD says you can be in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 10: 8-10, 17; Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; Mark 11:20-24.

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH

By Leave a Comment

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

“Do not be DECEIVED, God is not MOCKED [He will not allow Himself to be RIDICULED, nor TREATED with CONTEMPT nor allow His PRECEPTS to be SCORNFULLY set aside]; for whatever a man SOWS, this and this only is what he will REAP. 8 For the one who SOWS to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will REAP from the flesh RUIN and DESTRUCTION, but the one who SOWS to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap ETERNAL LIFE” Galatians 6:7-8/AMP.

Dear friend and Church folks, you need to know and hear this to make a wise resolved intentionally and pragmatically, which is – TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – and until you LIVE the LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead, you ARE otherwise only DECEIVING yourself – and SELF-DECEPTION is a very dangerous place to be in the faith in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 1:8 (5-10)]. And SELF-DECEPTION is the worst ENEMY and COHORTS to one’s self in every respect of intent to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, the scriptures said in accordance to the words of Jesus Christ, that life it’s about living a WHOLESOME life in Him, where JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) rules and reigns accordingly and respectfully [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-3; Matthew 23:23]. Therefore, don’t be deceived – for God is NOT a man – and you can’t BUY or BRIBE Him to get through in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have NEGLECTED the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITHFULNESS; but these are the [PRIMARY] things you OUGHT to have DONE without NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23/AMP.

Sometimes people or some Church folks think they can outsmart God in their religion or religious acts. I do really wonder! But why? Probably their thinking is this: Paying up TITHE/TITHING and OFFERING, giving a SPECIAL DONATION to denominational Church/Churches in kind/cash; or giving a special donation towards CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES and many more such likes, that makes them win God’s heart’s or attention and gives them automatic right or qualifies them into God’s presence or have first class ANSWERS to PRAYERS and or REDEMPTION benefits. Really? I don’t think so Scripturally.

“God is NOT a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it” Numbers 23:19-20.

Am SORRY to say to any that the Kingdom of God has NO short cut access or BRIBERY windows for such self consumed or consummated intent. For God can’t be DECEIVED or MOCKED at all, for in Him, you REAP on HOW and WHAT you sow – (Galatians 6:6-8). And it’s simply because there are more important, primary or heavier or weightier matters. It’s called and it’s about LIVING the life of – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in cause of the OTHER obedience in TITHE/TITHING as well.

Jesus said, while you OUGHT TO, that is, to pay up your TITHE/TITHING and give towards your CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES, you CAN’T NEGLECT to live WITHOUT the WEIGHTIER matters of life as to – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS.

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only ESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD. This is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ not of me or any there you may have grudge and resentment against. You then – THINK.

YOU NEED TO PONDER And MEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your life TODAY and your fulfilment TOMORROW.

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. FOR YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on MINOR matters], and have neglected the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITH [FAITHFULNESS]; but THESE are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done WITHOUT NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 (Amplified).

“Then the PHARISEES went and conspired together plotting how to trap Him by [distorting] what He said. 16 They sent their disciples to Him, along with the HERODIANS, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are sincere and that You teach the way of God truthfully, without concerning Yourself about [what] anyone [thinks or says of Your teachings]; for You are impartial and do not seek anyone’s favor [and You treat all people alike, regardless of status]. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to PAY a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage]. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “[The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “THEN PAY TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR’S; AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.” 22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away” Matthew 22:15-22 (Amplified).

KINGDOM ESSENTIALS: THEY ARE THE GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL ACTS OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY!

The cause For THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE has always been of THREE gracious and graceful KINGDOM ESSENTIALS and ACTS of doing life and living godly, in the Lord Christ Jesus.

These essentials and acts of doing life and living godly are:

* The WORK of FAITH

* The LABOUR of LOVE

* The PATIENCE of HOPE

I would love you to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scriptures if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful ESSENTIALS and ACTS of the Lord God – that WORTH remembering.

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH: THAT’S THE FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE!

“For in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision AVAILS anything, but FAITH WORKING through LOVE . .  . If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5: 6, 25.

God is not a magician, but will ALWAYS honour His WORD and PROMISES to All. Therefore, it’s time for ALL who expects the best of God, to gear up and put on, another kind of SENSE. This thus mean, for any to KEEP UP and be STEADILY ON, and triumph in life on a daily basis – to advance the kingdom cause of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – such needs to turn on the enabling synergy, by ACTIVATING and SYNCHRONIZING the button of the SIX SENSE – The SENSE of FAITH; that is, to keep it always and ever steadily in an ON position. This is to enable you stay a TRIUMPHANT in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (FIVE SENSES – SMELL, TASTE, HEAR, SEE, TOUCH/FEEL)” 2 Corinthians 5:7/Emphasis Mine.

The SIXTH SENSE, which is the SENSE of FAITH can only WORK EFFECTUALLY and EFFICIENTLY, when it’s set always and continuously, on the ‘ON’ button position; meaning, when you LIVE and WALK in the spirit of LOVE which God has shed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is lavishly given to us, then we make all the difference as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, POURED] abroad in OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

This is the only way to keep your SIX SENSE – which is of FAITH, activated over your FIVE SENSE of what you – SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL, SEE, HEAR and TASTE, which are by creation design, limited to sense God’s lead and your life dealings and godly living in Christ Jesus. stead. Amen.

So THINK and start acting NOW!

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye DESIRE, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

The FAITH That WORKS: It PLEASES God through DILIGENCE!

The FAITH That WORKS: It PLEASES God through DILIGENCE!

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

The FAITH that WORKS, that is, productive and results oriented, is the FAITH that Is expressed through DILIGENCE. For diligence PLEASE God, and thus it locates and positions one effortlessly with kings – nobility, dignity and honour instead of the obscured, unproductive and mean men.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

And when you PLEASE God by your diligent ways, He makes the ENEMY and COHORTS to be at PEACE with you. What a better way to keep your enemy and cohorts at bay effortless in LIFE and GRACE, in order to keep you advancing the Kingdom Causes of our Good.

And DILIGENCE is to be steadfast, steadily steady, earnestly earnest , smartly smart, energetic effort and consistently consistence onto the set and or given focus; and being SMART – effectual and efficient to accomplish the desired intent.

Know full well that life in grace is not by HARDWORKING, it’s by being SMARTWORKING.

The FAITH That WORKS – PLEASES God through DILIGENCE. And PLEASING God REWARDS Through DILIGENCE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

By Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: IT’S A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT SOMEONE’S ELSE’S!

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

I herein remind you to make your FAITH work out for your good and goodness, for it’s a personal responsibility and not someone’s else’s. You need to have a pragmatic resolved and intentionally set out your personal scriptural effort, with the assurance to ensure that you make the necessary endeavours, to inflame and ablaze your faith, in order to make you glow in life and grace irrespective. For your faith will definitely define your today and tomorrow – knowingly and unknowingly.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed.  Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in everyway. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV)

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION . . . 17  So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
