GRACE ABOUNDS ONLINE BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part32) TOPIC: THE MIND WITH FAITH SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF) Hebrew 11:15 From the above text, we were made to understand that if the Patriarch had been mindful of where they were coming from (the Chaldeans), they would have had an avenue to go back. The bible tells us emphatically that Abraham would have gone back to the place God called him from if he had considered the place. Brethren, what is your focus and your priority? What is our mind engaged with? We find it easy to talk about the faith of Abraham, but have we considered how he walked in faith and stayed in it. We talked about how he didn't backslide and how he just forsook every of his right and inheritance he might have possessed in his father’s land. I know many believers also desire this consistency, but are we ready to take those steps that he took?  Abraham was single focused as he exercised his mind to believe on the promises wh...

GRACE ABOUNDS ONLINE BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 31) TOPIC: Elements of Faith 3 SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF) Hebrew 11:13 Today we will be discussing about the fourth element of their faith. You can check the other elements we have discussed in the previous article 4. “There is always a disposition and conduct that emanate when we surrender to what we have seen by Faith.” The Patriarch surrendered to what they've seen, and so they declare openly that they are stranger and pilgrim on the Earth. They were not shy about what they have seen. They were not of those that draws back! ( Hebrew 10:38-39 ). If we have been shy of professing and letting people know of our faith in Christ, then we have not started operating in faith. Nobody would see his portion in Christ and shy back! It's not possible except if we have not been seeing by Faith. These men publicly declared about their stand on what they have seen.  Friends! The Holy Spirit is there to...

GRACE ABOUNDS ONLINE BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 30) TOPIC: Elements of Faith 2 SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF) Hebrew 11:13 In this article, we will be considering the third element of faith from the life of the patriarch. To go through the previous ones mentioned, you can check the previous article. The third element is that they surrender to the truth of what they saw. The bible (from the text) made us understand that they embraced what God revealed to them. These believing patriarchs “embraced” the promises as their own. They surrendered and committed themselves to the truth they saw. They cut the ties that bound them to the present world in which they lived, and gave themselves over to that which God said was to belong to them and their descendants in the generations to come. Seeing how the patriarch lived their lives, I discovered that it will be very difficult to welcome and embrace God's project when we are engrossed with our personal agend...
