By Faith

“Whatever God tells you to do, do it in faith.”

Written By Benjamin Dankaka

Whatever God tells you to do, do it in faith.

When God asked Abraham to leave his country and his father’s household to a land He would show him, Abraham obeyed. He complied even though he was already doing well in Haran. Recall that Abraham wasn’t poor and wretched before God called him. According to the scriptures, “He (Abraham) took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran…” In other words, Abraham left Haran as a wealthy man and then set out on a journey to a land he didn’t know. No doubt, Abraham took a leap faith.

Oftentimes, God would visit you when you are comfortable, at a time you are not expecting Him. So His “call” may seem strange because you would wonder why He is disrupting your peace. You might even be tempted to think the revelation is just a figment of your imagination. In handling such situations, be mindful of who you share your revelation with. Asking other people to interpret a revelation can get you off track. In fact, you might even have to be careful with what your mind is telling you. Whatever God tells you to do, do it in faith.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me a discerning heart. Amen.
