GRACE ABOUNDS BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 41) TOPIC: Faith affects reasoning SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF) Hebrews 11:17‭-‬19  From the text above, we’ll see Abraham was aware of what Isaac is to be in his life. He understood that this is the promise they have waited for, and now he was on the line to be sacrificed.  So, if I may ask you; can we take the step Abraham took? Although, no one is asking you to offer Isaac, hasn't God deposited unto you His measure of grace? He has blessed you with resources, talent, and time. Have we not been shying back?  Abraham could take this step because it concluded in his mind that God would raise his child even when he is dead. He reasoned those words in his mind. If we will also be able to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, then we need to allow to engage our minds with what relates to Christ and what the Holy Spirit could achieve in us and through us. Abraham didn't go about the mission wi...

 ​ GRACE ABOUNDS BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 40) TOPIC: God has confidence in you 2 SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF) In the previous article , we saw that God has confidence in you as believers because He has given us His life.   The problem we have is that we don't see ourselves the way God sees us. God sees us in Christ, so also, we need to start seeing ourselves in Christ.   Hebrews 11:17 ; I Corinthians 10:13   If you don't know what God has given to you; if you don't know the joy, peace, grace, and love of God for you which is Christ, then you will be subjugated by the enemy's rant, roar, and deceit.   We can hear the roaring of the devil loud and clear in our generation, but he cannot attack someone who is already died and now living with eternal life. This truth needs to sink in our hearts if we won't be carried away by the activities of the wicked one.   Therefore, The reason God has great confidence in you is t...

​ GRACE ABOUNDS BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 39) TOPIC: God has confidence in you  SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF)   By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only-begotten son.  Hebrews 11:17    In the previous article , I shared that God does not expect to trip, fall, or falter because He sees us through, Christ. Can Jesus fall or fail? When Jesus was here below, He didn't fall or falter, how much more, now that is glorified. Therefore, God has so much confidence in us because of our faith in Christ   1 Corinthians 10:13 The Bible makes us understand that God is faithful, and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability. Whenever we talk about God being faithful, then we are saying God is the one that will always come through for us.    Thus, the Apostle must remind us of God's faithfulness so that the next phrase can make great sense ...

​ GRACE ABOUNDS BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 38) TOPIC: The proving of our Faith 4 SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF) Hebrews 11:17 We have said many things actually in our previous article on proving faith. Part of the things discussed is that God tests our faith in such a way that, although He saw challenges and temptation coming on our way, he makes us pass through it because we have already been endowed by God with His life, Spirit, presence, and word. Furthermore, we shared that if we can't stand in faith during difficult challenges and temptation, then faith living cannot be a life. Instead, you will keep struggling and struggling. The Apostles see temptation and persecution as mediums through which their faith can be strengthened, even though the devil meant it to be evil for them. Challenges are avenues where faith rubs on our experiences, our hearts, and by default we see ourselves operating in Faith and growing in it. You can further go throu...
