RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY, JULY 19TH, 2013 PASTOR CHRIS FAITH: YOUR CURRENCY TO RULE YOUR WORLD. And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions (Hebrews 11:32-33). The Lord Jesus said if you have faith, as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).Your faith is your currency to rule your world. The Bible tells us of certain men and women who through faith dominated the world of their time (Hebrews 11:32-33). The eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews gives us an insightful chronicle of the extraordinary accomplishments of some of these great men and women of faith: how they subdued kingdoms, and functioned in righteousness, standing their grounds in their convictions. Their faith serves as an example for us today. Their deeds were written for our inspiration and edification; letting us know we can do the same. Let’s reflect on the attitude of one of these great heroes of faith—Joshua. By faith, he led the children of Israel to march round the intimidating walls of Jericho seven times, with the menacing walls coming down flat on the seventh count, as they gave the victory shout (read Joshua 6:16-20). You can live every day in victory and dominion through faith. The Bible admonishes us to be "...followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises" (Hebrews 6:12). Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, the prophets of old, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Apostles have all set examples of faith for us to emulate. You can face and overcome whatever obstacle is before you by speaking forth words of faith. You can effect changes and do great things in your world today. You too can manifest righteousness and give life to the dead or hopeless situations. You can revive your business if it’s been grounded, or keep it growing from glory to glory. You can excel greatly in ministry, in your academics, career or profession and be a wonder to your world. Your faith is the currency; rule your world with it. CONFESSION The Word of faith is in my heart and my mouth, and it prevails as I speak it forth. My life is the testimony of God’s grace and a harvest of blessings because I walk by faith in His Word. I’m more than a conqueror, and my faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Halleluiah! FURTHER STUDY Hebrews 11:1 New Life Version (NLV) Faith 11 Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see. Hebrews 11:6 New Life Version (NLV) 6 A man cannot please God unless he has faith. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is. That one must also know that God gives what is promised to the one who keeps on looking for Him. Matthew 17:20 New Life Version (NLV) 20 Jesus said to them, “Because you have so little faith. For sure, I tell you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to over there,’ and it would move over. You will be able to do anything.
