ASSURANCE OF FAITH WALK

Our faith is the treasury of Scriptural descriptions. It is the tower or antenna that brings the Scripture to fulfilment in our lives. The Bible says, "Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." To fulfil the dictates of the Word, we require faith. When the eyes of faith is fixed on what is unseen, eventually the "unseen" will become seen or a reality. Our faith gives tangible shape to the written Word (Logos) in the physical world.

Reference - 2 Corinthians 5:7 Amplified Bible (AMP) "for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God's promises]"

Here Paul is talking about two senses: faith and sight. Our faith is based on the Word, while our sight is based on the world. When you say that a man walks by faith, it means that in Christ, he counts the unseen things as more real than any negative condition of things. Faith can conceive the picture of a Scripture in the mind and establish it within the bounds or realms of possibility.

When you are living in a manner consistent with your confident belief in what God says concerning you, and not by what you see or by appearance, you are walking by faith. For instance, If you feel ill or diseased, and you remember that God says you are healed and then you believe it, declare it and confess it over your life, the disease will fade away. This means that when you are attacked by any symptom of sickness, it doesn't mean you are the sick. You are still and always the healed.

As a man or woman who walks by faith, you must reject the symptoms instantly because Isaiah 53:5 says, "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." If we are healed by His wounds, then this is more real that any symptom you temporary feel. If you agree with God concerning your health, the symptom will become weaker, as the voice of your faith becomes louder. In other words, your faith based on your identity in Christ, will strip you of the clothing of flesh, all the symptoms of sickness, as well as replace every negativity contradicting the ordinances or dictates of the Word in your life.

God always gives us the right name, picture and identity in His Word, but we must have to believe them to see the reality in our lives. Never accept the name and identity God hasn't given to you, even if your condition seems opposite or completely different from the identity. Remember, God calls those things which are not as though they were (Roman 4:17). That's why 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT) reads, "So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." Beloved, as a child of God, you are not weak, you are strong. You are not a failure but a success, because you were born into Christ, the realm of success and possibility.

Therefore no matter the circumstance or whatever comes your way, if its contrary to the Word of God concerning you, you must refuse to settle for it or lose heart in the face of it. Stand firm on the Word, and exercise your faith in Christ. If you are willing to stand your ground, the very symptom or negativity that seems visible to human eye will disappear and then, the Word description will replace it. The knowledge of who you are (identity) in Christ is very powerful but walking by faith is superior because it helps you to experience the benefits of your identity in Christ, such as divine health, prosperity, victory, dominion and every other blessing of salvation. Shalom!
