BELIEVING IS SEEING

2Cor5:7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. NLT

I wrote a very tough exam in my 300l in the university. It was my habit to write my results at the beginning of the semester. My faith was unshaken because I believe my 'A' wasn't tied to my performance in the exam but my faith.

My classmates complained about how tough the exam was and how they were expecting the worse but I knew then that if I say the same thing, I would get the same result. Eventually, I had an 'A' in that course. Even before seeing my result, I knew it was an 'A'. Not because of what I wrote but because of what God's word promised me.

Dare to believe God's even when the prevailing circumstances surrounding you seems unfavourable. In the kingdom, we don't see to believe but we believe before we see even when all indicators seems negative. Hold on to what God has said about your health, finances, marriage,academics&career.

The more you feed your mind with the reality of your circumstance, the weaker your faith becomes but feeding and standing on God's word weakens your doubt and strengthens your faith.

Action point

CONFESSION: Father, I thank you because I know that your word is true.I'm not concerned about seeing results before I believe you, I know your word is settled over my health, finances, marriage, career&academics. I walk triumphantly over all circumstances of life In Jesus Name.
