Reasons Why Your Faith Must Be Based On God's Word For It To Work

How potent is your faith? Many Christians are struggling to have their faith produce the results they desire. Some Christians are even wondering whether "this faith thing" is real. It is real; however, their problem may be that their faith is not on the right foundation, which is the word of God. This post gives the reasons why your faith must be based on God's word for your faith to work.

My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips - Psalms 89:34 (NKJV).

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17 (NKJV).

Christianity is called the "Faith". Faith describes our Christian walk with God. We are saved by faith and we live by faith. Therefore, for you to make it as a Christian your faith must work; otherwise, you will be constantly defeated by the enemy when you're only to reach out for victory (Already given to you by Jesus) by faith.

What is faith?

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It is acting on God's word. It is putting the word of God above situations and issues of life. It is believing the word of the Lord as being the absolute truth and holding on to it till it overcomes.

Therefore, it means that where there is no word of God, there will be no potent faith. God's word is the foundation on which your faith can work. So, you must have faith in the word of the Lord.

Why Your faith must be based on God's Word

1. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17)

Your faith is built up as you hear the word: while studying the word, listening to anointed messages or reading anointed books. It doesn't come by being current with the happenings around you, rather what comes on you most of the time is fear (Faith in the devil). As you hear the Lord speak to you through the above channels, your faith grows to believe Him to do what He had said He would do.

War Believing

Do you believe that the prophecy will be fulfilled in your life? It is one thing to war with the prophecy and it is another thing to believe that your prayer has been answered. Praying without faith is praying with the expectation that the prayers will not be answered. This post emphasizes that you are to war with prophecies in faith.

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck - I Timothy 1:18-19 (NKJV).

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:22-24 (NKJV).

Many people pray and cry to God, quote the relevant scriptures, but get up from praying wondering if God will answer them. This thought of theirs cancels out their prayers. Unfortunately, they will not receive their desired answer. Every prayer done with doubt is a prayer not to be answered. Until you believe that you receive them you will not have them (Mark 11:24).

Paul told Timothy to war with prophecies concerning him in faith (1 Timothy 1:18-19). God has declared the prophecies concerning you; now you have to war with these prophecies to see them fulfilled in your life and you have to do so in faith. God is looking out for faith in you to deliver your goods to you (Luke 18:8). Faith is the currency for the transaction between you and God. Read more...
