August 31 - Stand Fast In Faith
Finally, my dear son, I commend you to all these words you have read about faith in these past two months. They can keep you and give you your inheritance in Christ. Stand fast in faith, and fight a good fight of faith. By now, you know what that means right? It means to hold on to your faith…

August 30 - Not slothful in business
A lazy person cannot walk by faith. Laziness is the antithesis of faith. Faith requires work; faith without work is dead. You know already that faith comes by the Word: This means reading, studying, meditating, and acting on the word. This means rising early every day to do these on a consistent...
-
August 29 - Faithful is he who has promised
The promises of God on which our faith is hinged are sure: They will never fail. The Lord said: “So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isa 55:11). We...
-
August 28 - The Author and Finisher of our faith
The Lord did not leave us all by ourselves to fight the good fight of faith. He didn’t leave us all by ourselves to find our way or struggle to make it through. He is with us all the way. He started the journey with us, he is with us throughout the journey and will be till the very end. He is the...
-
August 27 - Add to your faith
Faith is the starting point of our spiritual journey. Notice the word journey: Our faith in God through Jesus Christ is a journey, not a destination. If you have ever read the book Pilgrim’s Progress, then you will see the portrayal of that journey in quite a beautiful way. One of the important...
-
August 26 - Personal Faith
From today till the end of this month, I will be sharing some concluding thoughts on faith. A very important characteristic of faith is that it is personal. Several times, the Lord Jesus spoke to different persons saying: “your faith has made you whole”. Also, Scripture makes us know that the…

August 22 - The shield of faith
Faith is part of our spiritual armoury. Just yesterday we considered faith as part of the weapons of our warfare. This warfare is against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness (i.e. Satan and his cohort), not flesh and blood (i.e. humans). Faith is a shield that...
-
August 21 - Overcoming faith
You may overcome some of your life circumstances using other means apart from faith e.g. your natural strength, connections, resources, etc.; but you have yet the world to overcome. Overcoming in this wise is to conquer the system of this present world that lies in darkness (see 1Jn 5:19). Only...
-
August 20 - Faith Diagnostics
Many times, many people wonder why their faith is not ‘working’ when they do not receive what they desired in prayer. Well, you need to be sure that what you have called your faith is authentic. On this, there are a few points I want you to put to mind: 1. If you are not sure you are in faith, it...
-
August 19 - Work as an Act of Faith
When God created the Garden of Eden, he put Adam and Eve there so that they may tend the garden. This shows us clearly that work is not man's idea but God's. In this wise, working with our hands, though a natural thing, is based on eternal spiritual principles. This is even true for God because…
more -
August 18 - The Works of faith
It is not enough to say that you have faith, it ought to be seen too. You can truly say you have faith when your actions correspond to what you believe. Your faith is only apparent in your works of faith. For instance, the fact that God has given his angels charge over you does not mean you…
more -
August 17 - Like-precious faith
Your faith is perhaps your most precious spiritual commodity because it is at the center of all your Christian experience. Although it is grace that saves, without faith grace does not come into effect (see Eph 2:8). Scripture tells us in 1 Corin 13:13 that the three most important virtues are...
-
August 16 - Faith like a mustard seed
No faith is too small and no request is too big; Just make sure it is in line with the will of the Father. It is not the size that matters in faith but its purity. Faith is pure when it is devoid of doubt. Pure faith is a demonstration of trust in God as our source and the one who sustains us....
-
August 15 - The Measure of Faith
Everyone in Christ has faith. In Christ Jesus, everyone has been given the measure of faith. The Apostle Paul admonishes us that we should not ascribe to ourselves more than what has been given to us; that we should not think more highly of ourselves than we are. Rather, we are to consider what…
more -
August 14 - The cycle of growth and development
The lifestyle of faith is a cycle. Seeing that faith is the evidence of things hoped for, our journey starts from hope. Hope is the picture of a preferred future. However, our hope must be built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. When we have developed hope, we are led on to...
-
August 13 - Love the Moderator of Faith
One helper of faith I didn’t mention yesterday is love. The God-kind of love is that intentional spiritual devotion that is directed at a subject and is not dependent on what the subject does or does not do. Note those three words: intentional, spiritual, and devotional. This type of love is not…
more -
August 12 - Helpers of Faith
You must have seen thus far that faith does not abide alone. There are numerous helpers of our faith to keep us on the pathway of faith till we get to our faith journey’s end. We have heard a lot about thanksgiving so I will not belabor the point again. I will only say that living perpetually in...
-
August 11 - How to manage your faith
Faith has a management process that if despised will lead to shipwrecking of our faith. The first step is to keep acquiring faith in the Word. We have seen much about this from our earlier considerations, i.e., having an unbreakable routine of reading/studying/meditating on the Word of God daily....
-
August 10 - The pathway of Faith (5)
The final junction in the Pathway of Faith is called Thanksgiving. One of the things our parents taught us, and we also teach our children, is to show appreciation for everything given to us. So, I tell my children having given them a thing, “won’t you say thank you?”. Thanksgiving is the...
-
August 9 - The pathway of Faith (4)
Having acquired faith through meditation, you have to deploy your faith. There are two specific actions you need to take to deploy your faith. First is using your words to release your faith. Apostle Paul wrote in 2Co 4:13 that the Spirit of Faith only has one logical path of action: Speaking,...
-
August 8 - The pathway of Faith (3)
Meditation is a major route in the pathway of faith. We have had discussions around meditation several times already. You will do well to revise what we have learnt. I will only now admonish you on the need to have meditation on God’s word as a lifestyle. I have already told you that meditation…
more -
August 7 - The pathway of Faith (2)
Having recognized a need, and having the assurance that the father will hear us when we come before him with the need, we do not go before the Father just yet. No! We need to get faith for that particular need. Note that faith is not general but specific. Because you have faith to be saved does…
more -
August 6 - The pathway of Faith (1)
The way to walk with Father is to live perpetually in the Pathway of Faith. That was the experience of Enoch and those other men and women written about in Hebrews 11. The pathway of faith as a journey begins for everybody at the point of having a need. This need may be physical, spiritual, or of...
-
August 5 - Kinds of Faith: Great faith
Great faith is faith that is motivated entirely by love, premised solely on the word of God, and, leaning exclusively on Jesus’ righteousness and not their own worthiness. Great Faith is not just some heavily matured faith with a unique ability to heal the sick and raise the dead. It is fully...
-
August 4 - Kinds of Faith: Strong faith
Strong faith is actively growing through frequent usage and being plenteous in good works. You may wonder what I mean by good works since I have used the expression over and over again. Good works are essentially any action that is done by faith. In particular, good works are works that fit the...
-
August 3 - Kinds of Faith: Little faith
Little faith is faith that is mixed with doubt. Men of little faith are those that will not trust in God with a trust so complete that every trace of doubt is removed. When we trust God, our trust takes away the responsibility for the resolution of the issue at hand from us to the one we trust.…
more -
August 2 - Kinds of Faith: Weak faith
Weak faith is a sickly faith marked by being devoid of good works: the man believes but does not act according to what he believes. Faith that is not put to work becomes weak. It has no power to achieve anything. In medical school, we were taught about vestigial organs. These are…
more -
August 1 - Kinds of Faith: No Faith
This month we will continue considering the subject of Faith by exploring kinds of faith. The first is ‘No faith’. Technically this is not a kind of faith, it is the absence of faith where it should exist. ‘No Faith’ status characterizes carnal believers. Apostle Paul had to remind the...
-
July 31 - Faith and Hope
Faith is what substantiates hope therefore without faith, hope is not available for use. Hope is a positive expectation of a particular outcome. Godly hope is an acceptance of and a joyful expectation of the will of God in the matters of our lives or things around us. Why should we be joyful…
more -
July 30 - Faith for service
Service is one of the bedrocks of our Christian faith, that is, serving God and serving others. You need faith to serve acceptably for there is an acceptable way to serve the Lord. Faithfulness is the product of your faith. If you are full of faith you will be faithful to those with whom you have...
-
July 29 - Faith for relationships
Relationships occur at different levels: from mere acquaintanceship to intimate friendship. I have once told you that loving others is compulsory but friendship ought to be mutual. In other words, you cannot be everyone’s friend but please be friendly to all that comes your way. Use your faith in...
-
July 28 - Faith for Healing
There might be times when we fall sick or we have loved ones around us who are sick. We do not need to question anyone’s faith by saying, “Oh, you are sick because you are not working by faith.” This may be true but it is not for us to judge in that way. Rather we ought to activate another…
more -
July 27 - Faith for Health
The victory that Jesus won for us covers all aspects of our lives without exception. We were saved from sin and its consequences, one of which is sicknesses and diseases. Thus, salvation includes health in our bodies. God’s promise to us is that none of these diseases around us will have power…
more -
July 26 - Faith for Finances
God wants you to prosper in all of the works of your hands. The Lord is your shepherd so you should not lack any good thing, including money. Many Scriptures give us this assurance: Ro 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give...
-
July 25 - Faith for Academics
One of the earliest things I learnt to use my faith for was my academics, particularly in the university. Before then I generally prayed and just believed that God will help me, and I generally performed well in primary and secondary school. However, when I got into medical school, there was a...
-
July 24 - Faith for Living
We have earlier considered the truth that the just shall live by faith (July 12) and what it means to have faith towards God (July 13). Today, it is good to remind you again that the best way to live your life is for it to be full of faith. When you are full of faith you will find out that you...
-
July 23 - The Hall of fame of faith: good report by faith
Hebrews Chapter 11 is the go-to chapter on faith in the Bible. Several men and women of old were listed and were commended on the way they used their faith. This makes something clear to me: our faith and the good works we do with it is what God will reward. We will receive some of the rewards...
-
July 22 - Special Faith
There is a type of Faith called Special Faith. Special faith is one of our superpowers in God. Special faith is a unique operation of the Holy Spirit in which he empowers us to believe in God on a specific matter beyond our capacity to believe. It is a superpower because it is beyond our normal...
-
July 21 - The God kind of Faith
Have faith in God or Have the God-kind of Faith! That is to say, believe God in what he has said, and trust in him for he is trustworthy. This is the lesson for today. Doubt and unbelief are like birds flying above your head in the skies. You might not be able to stop then from flying but you…
more -
July 20 - The rejoicing of faith
Faith produces joy and singing in our hearts even in the most difficult situations. How could Paul and Silas have been rejoicing in while locked up in prison? The Bible says “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them” (Acts 16:25). It was…
more -
July 19 - The Principle of Perpetual Praise
Dear son, thanksgiving is the true acknowledgment of the receipt of a thing. That is why your mother and I have taught you, children, to always say thank you when you receive anything from anyone. The Yorubas have a saying: “If a child shows gratitude for a good done to him/her, he/she has set up...
-
July 18 - Faith and Prayer
One of the most useful places to use your faith is in prayer. You release your faith to work when you pray by faith. Here is the lesson for you today: There is no point praying if you will not do it by faith because faith is the only way you can receive from God (remember Heb. 11:6 “But without...
-
July 17 - The good fight of faith
Our faith is a precious commodity and the currency of the divine life. It is our faith that the enemy of our soul always seeks to bring down first. If he can get to our faith, he will be able to hold us down. The good fight of faith is holding on doggedly to the promises the Father has made to…
more -
July 16 - The trial of our faith
Faith is like the precious metal that is mined from beneath the surface of the earth. Just like these precious metals need to be purified, our faith also needs to be purified. The impurities in our faith include mindsets and attitudes we have acquired over the years from our upbringing and other...
-
July 15 - The hearing of faith
The hearing of faith is the point of revelation of truth in your heart that produces full persuasion of the truth of God’s Word. This is where you will see, know and become convinced about the truth in the Word God has spoken to you. The hearing of faith could come to you while you are studying…
more -
July 14 - Faith works by love
There are a number of conditions for faith to work, including receiving a word from the Lord, believing the Word till we are fully persuaded (this produces faith in our hearts), and acting on the word we have believed (either by speaking or by any other action that corresponds to our faith)....
-
July 13 - Faith towards God
Faith is one of the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ. A doctrine is a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative. Faith towards God as a doctrine is a permanent disposition to live by faith in God and faith alone: in relationships, career, academics, business, health,...
-
July 12 - The Just Shall Live by faith
Four times in the Scriptures, it is written that the just shall live by faith. Faith is so fundamental to the believer's life that the Apostle Paul repeated the matter so often in his Epistles, having been first addressed by the Prophet Habakkuk. There are a few things to note here. Firstly, the...
-
July 11 - The patience of faith
The patience of faith is all that we do or need to do between releasing our faith and its physical manifestation. Although faith is a ‘now’ reality, it is a spiritual, not a physical reality. For instance, consider Jesus Christ, who the Bible describes as “…the Lamb slain from the foundation of…
more -
July 10 - The When of Faith
Faith is a spiritual reality and does not function by the natural timing. However, in its translation into natural time, it is always in the now. Because of this, the reality of faith is always in the present now. Faith always speaks the things that be not as though they already are. Faith is...
