Faith Life 58 (The Faith Approach)

Ayoola Fakeye   THE FAITH APPROACH    “ By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. ”   Hebrews   11:29 ‬  ‬‬ The children have seen the great deliverance from the Judgement, and it was expedient that they continue their approach in faith, h aving seen the victory of the cross that destroyed sin, principalities, and powers as they put their faith in the Lamb's blood, It was reasonable that they continue by faith.   Beloved, if we started our Christian walk based on faith, it is expedient we continue by Faith. The blood of Jesus did not just cleanse us from sin, but this same blood installed God's life into us.    We have indeed been delivered spiritually from the influence of the world. Although physically, we are still in the world. Therefore, as a result, the world is breathing on us one way or the other. The consequences of the world's unbelief and malady are reaching ...

Faith Life 57 (Faith that rests on God's estimate)

  Ayoola Fakeye FAITH THAT RESTS ON GOD'S ESTIMATE  “ By faith, he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. ”  Hebrews  11:28 ‬ ‭‬‬   The word  ‘ kept ’  from the scripture above is rendered in the Greek lexicon as  ‘ Hath kept. ’  It is a perfect tense verb. The implication of this is that the keeping of the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood was not what Moses considered only for the moment, but it was what He instituted and established.   Another thing to note from the scripture is that the Bible attributes the keeping of the Passover and sprinkling of blood to Moses' Faith, even though it was not only Moses that observed it. This implies that Moses' faith in the paschal lamb inspires the children of Israel to also follow Moses' order.    As a leader, the way you can effectively lead people in the kingdom is by walking in faith. Have you been given responsibi...

Faith Life 56 (The significance of God's presence 3)

Ayoola Fakeye THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD'S PRESENCE (PART  3) “ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. ”‭  Hebrews 11:27 ‬    In this article, I shall continue to highlight the beautiful life of faith Moses lived. His decision to forsake Egypt was the result of the faith He has in the Covenant Lord. He never allowed the fear of Pharaoh to affect the decision because He realized that God's presence was constantly with Him. God's presence, which was invisible to His physical eyes, was more real than a pharaoh on the throne. That is what it means to realize that God's presence is with you; that you are assured of His presence even in the face of contrary things around you. What can give such assurance is that you know that the blood of Jesus has brought you into an eternal covenant and commitment with God. His responsibility to you is,  “ I will never leave nor forsake you. ”   In the two previ...

Faith life 55 (the significance of God's presence in our lives 2)

Ayoola Fakeye THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD'S PRESENCE (PART 2)    “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.”  In the previous article , I have discussed the first point. In this article, I will discuss the second significance of the realization of God's presence; it equips or inspires the soul with patience in the trials of life. Moses requested Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go to inherit their land, but Pharaoh made it hard for Moses. The treatment was frustrating, going back and front until the tenth miracle—the Passover. Standing on God's word will not come as a result of chance because the devil will make it hard for you to rely absolutely on the authority of God’s word, just as Pharaoh made it hard for Moses. If not Moses realized the presence of God was with Him, Pharaoh's attitude is enough to make him doubt God’s word.  If God has given His word, it is because He is intentional about it. H...
