Daily Devotional For Nairalanders. by oludayo20(m): 10:54am On Dec 21, 2007
Hi All,
It's a great priviledge to be here once again today,God is good and today we'll be discussing Faith-The true meaning.
Our Text:Heb 11:6 'Without Faith it is impossible to please to God, '
Tony Evans writes:A practical definition of faith I like ,is like it's so even when it's not,in order that it might be so,just because God said so'.Maybe you're saying,That sounds like I'm supposed to pretend something is real when it isn't',No.We're talking about believing that what God says is true,even when there's no evidence available.And the way you know you believe.'is when you act on it.Maybe you think people like Noah and Moses had it easier than we do because God spoke to them directly.True,God did speak to them ,but that didn't make their obedience any easier.Remember ,Noah worked for 120years with no water around him,and kept announcing a coming flood based solely on what God had told him.Moses didn't get to see the film 'The Ten Commandment'and find out how it all ended.Actually,We have the advantage because we have God's completed Word.But we still experience the turbulence of life .Ever been on an airplane when it started shaking or dropped ?Remember how you felt when you the captain spoke over the intercom,calmly explaining that it was no big deal.Your options were to have faith in the captain -or believe what you saw or felt.Depending on your choice,you either white knuckled the rest of your flight ,or relaxed and enjoyed it.Faith takes you beyond the limits of your logics,reason and senses.It enables you to believe that if God said it,it's true.Simply put,faith is acting as if God is telling the truth.
God is ever faithful.Have a great day!

Hi @oludayo20,

Your efforts are commendable.

However, perhaps it would be great if you could maintain the same pattern by keeping to just one thread instead of opening several threads by the same topic for the same thing! We understand it is "Daily Devotional" - and that is what it should all be about in one same thread. Consider that you have opened no less than 6 threads with the same topic and same thing:

Remember your initial entrant was to keep us posted on the same thread - "this spot" -

oludayo20:

Hi All,
Please join me daily on this spot for daily devotionals,

It would be great that you help us maintain course on a neat thread.

Cheers and many blessings. wink
