True Signs of Faith

Happy new month everyone,

You know, there's something about faith that we need to understand. Many times we claim to have faith, but we don't see the manifestation of that, which should be tagged as the faith we claim, could something be wrong?


Jesus said, if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountain, (ref.: Matthew 17:20). So, what could be wrong?

First, Jesus said this can be achieved through prayer and fasting. Now, this is where I intend to dwell. What does the fasting and prayer do to your personal life, your personal behaviour to things?

To fast and pray doesn't mean hunger strike, as I've often said, but a time to completely surrender oneself to the leading of the word of God through the Holy Spirit. In order words, you spend time with God so much that you don't give thought to your flesh.

What are the signs you have faith?

When you completely surrender yourself to the word of God, there is a flow of the faith of Christ that works through you.

Another thing I came to understand is that faith is not a private thing, but a public thing. Let me explain. When you are confident in your closet that you are healed, a person with true faith expresses the faith in public. You don't hide what you stand for to yourself so as not to appear stupid to the public.

Let me use this simple illustration. If you're sitting on a chair, you're sure you are sitting on a chair. But if people around you say you're not sitting on a chair because they're not seeing it, but only you are. Will you change your statement despite being sure? No, you won't, because you're sure. Which is why faith comes with an assurance, it doesn't care about what people think, because what faith says is, is what is. You've received your healing, and that is it. That you say that the sun appears blue doesn't change what colour the sun reflects. 

So, when the Lord Jesus says you're healed, that is it. The world is blind, which is why they can't see clearly. And this affects their judgement.

So, to genuinely express your faith in public based on the faith of Christ that works through you, there is no way you won't see the manifestation, unless God is a liar. And to come out in public to stand your ground isn't with human understanding, it requires constant meditation on the word of God by surrendering to all Jesus has become through His resurrection. Work out your faith by examining yourself daily through the word of God.


Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
