BUILD UP YOUR FAITH – Monday
September 21st 2020
Memorise: But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. Jude 1:20
Read: John 20:25-29 (KJV)
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him,
We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print
of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand
into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas
with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and
said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not
faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Message:-
Open Heaven 21 September 2020 – Build Up Your Faith
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
As a believer, you must already have some
level of faith. However, irrespective of the current level of your faith, you
still have a duty to grow and strengthen it. Just like your physical body needs
food and exercise to stay strong and healthy, your faith also needs food and
exercise. The word of God is the food that our faith needs to become strong so
as to do exploits for Him.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17
Open Heaven 21 September 2020: [Monday] – Build Up Your Faith
You must study your Bible diligently every
day. The more of the study of God’s word you do, the more of His abilities you
will see and every fear that has previously weakened your faith will vanish.
Alongside the word, another delicacy you must
add to your diet in order to have strong faith is prayers in the Holy Ghost as
seen from today’s memory verse. The indwelling of the Holy Ghost empowers a
person for exploits. Acts 10:38
says:
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
Open Heaven 21 September 2020 Monday: Action Point
The Holy Ghost is responsible for miracles,
signs and wonders. Hence, if you want your faith to birth signs and wonders,
you must pray in the spirit often. Paul said he prayed in the Holy Ghost more
than all the other Apostles (1st Corinthians 14:18); no wonder God
was able to use him to achieve so much.
Your faith also needs exercise to grow and
stay alive. Faith without works is dead (James
2:20). You have to put your faith into action, then leave the rest to God.
If the miracle doesn’t happen the first time, keep exercising your faith and
very soon, it will be strong enough for exploits.
Action Point
From today, resolve to pray in the Holy Ghost for at least an hour
every day.
