  Ayoola Fakeye THE RESPONSE OF FAITH PART 2 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.” Hebrews‬ ‭11:23‬ ‭ In the last article, we saw the first reason why Moses’ Parents could act in faith and hid their child for three months. To have a brief review of the last article, you can click here .   The second reason why Moses’s parents could respond in faith is that they were not afraid of the King’s command.  This is also a similar situation while Jesus was born. Herod made a decree to kill newly born babies during the time of Jesus. But the angel told Joseph and Mary to take Jesus to Egypt so that Jesus would be safe from Herod’s hand. Matthew 2:13  I want you to know for every difficult situation, as in the case of Herod and Pharaoh's decree, God always comes with wisdom to subdue such challenges or difficulties. The bible tells us in Corinthians...

Ayoola Fakeye  Hebrews 11:23   In Egypt, God's hand was on the children of Israel, being the chosen nation, and as a result, they were multiplying in all forms. Therefore, Pharaoh feels threatened by the people of Israel, and then he made a decree and published an edict; ordering every male child who has just been given birth to be thrown inside the river. This period was when Moses was born. Exodus 2   When Moses was born, the bible tells us that by Faith his parents hid Him. They were hiding the baby, not because they are afraid of the king's edict. Assuming they were afraid of the king’s ordering, they won’t have saved the baby, instead they will be conscious that they are not killed. Fear makes a man think and act selfishly, but faith makes a man act accordingly to God’s purpose and grace.   Let’s see the reason they took such a bold step of faith to save the child.  They hid the child because they saw he was a beautiful child. In Act 7:20 , the B...

 FAITH BRINGS CLARITY TO VISION (PART 2) Ayoola Fakeye  Over time I have discovered, particularly in my life before I begin to walk the path of faith that we find it very difficult to cast the net. We find it difficult to take a step of faith because we don't have the curriculum for such steps.  In the bible, the dealings of God with man have been progressive, as well as His revelations to man have been progressive. So, if you are going in a direction in life, and you have it all figured out, then I believe it's not God that is leading you ( Hebrews 1:1-2 ; 2 Peter 3:18 ) Genesis 27 ; Hebrews 11:20 Looking into the text, I see that Isaac’s dealings with His sons were carnal. He was thinking about culture and tradition; because thus says culture, “the firstborn child is heir to the inheritance.” He was so carnal in His judgment, not considering how God wanted the lineage of promise to continue. Although, despite his carnality, what motivated him was Faith in God's promise ...

  GRACE ABOUNDS BIBLE STUDY THEME: FAITH LIFE OF CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS (Part 42) TOPIC: Faith brings Clarity to a vision SPEAKER: Peter Ayoola Fakeye (PAF)  The problem of many people is not a lack of vision or purpose. But most times, the concern is that many people lack clarity in the vision. This happens when God has given us vision, and we take it from Him and start using self-effort to get things done. So, we will be seeing from the scriptures how we can have clarity of vision through faith.  Hebrews 11:20, Genesis 27 The Bible tells us that it was in faith Isaac blessed His sons. What was about his Faith? His faith must have been in God and what He has promised him and his father Abraham, that in their seed shall the entire world be blessed. So, he knew he is going to die soon, and he needed to pass this vision and blessing to one of his sons.  Assuming Isaac didn't have faith in the word God has spoken to Him and his father, and he didn't believe in the aut...
