Faith Life 62 (Two-dimensional experience of Faith)

  The faith life of Christian believers is what we have been considering Today, we shall be looking at the two-dimensional experience of living by faith  “ 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 Israelites’ faith in the covenant Lord can be viewed in two dimensions: The first part is about how Moses and the Children of Israel passed through the Red Sea on dry land. They didn't stress themselves while passing through the Red Sea, but they walked through it comfortably. The second thing that happened was that their enemy, the Egyptians, was utterly consumed in the Red Sea. In both dimensions, they didn’t use their effort to achieve victory.   “ And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.” Exodus 14:19   In the previous article , we saw when God reproved Moses to ...

Faith Life 61 (Faith Approach 4)

  FAITH APPROACH 4 (By Ayoola Fakeye) It is essential as Christians to approach life with an assurance that the Lord Jesus has already won the battle. That is the faith approach! And the Holy Spirit has been sent to lead us to the spoils and gather them. However, many believers  still don't follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Pride and ego won't make us follow the Holy Spirit. Other times, it is religion and culture that affect our sensitivity.    “ By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. ”   Hebrews   11:29 ‬ ‭   We got this faith approach from the progression of the Children of Israel through the Red Sea. You can check the three-previous article to get a better understanding.   Having already seen the three steps Moses took to build the children of Israel's faith and confidence in the living God, the Lord responded to Him.   Let us check it out in Exodus 14 “ An...

Faith Life 60 (Faith Approach 3)

  THE FAITH APPROACH 3 ( Ayoola Fakeye ) The book of Hebrews chapter eleven verse twenty-nine tells us that the children of Israel passed through the Red Sea on dry land because they believed the one that brought them out from Egypt by His mighty hand.   Although, When I studied the account in the book of Exodus chapter fourteen, I discovered that that was not their initial disposition. Initially, they were filled with unbelief and contempt. However, in the previous article, it was discussed how Moses started approaching the situation by faith, which eventually spun the Children of Israel ’ s faith.   The last article also discussed the two approaches Moses took to spin the faith of the children of Israel. You can click here to have a look at what ’ s been discussed.    In this article, I shall be discussing the third approach.   3. See the salvation of the Lord. Moses told the children of Israel to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Beloved, i...

Faith Life 59 (The Faith Approach 2)

    Ayoola Fakeye   “ 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 approach of Moses at the Red Sea is an approach of Faith.   “ And Moses said to the people,  “ Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. ”  Exodus ‬ ‭ 14:13 ‬ ‬‬    In Exodus 14, the children of Israel pressurized Moses. But Moses didn't allow the surrounding circumstances to change his view about God.   This man had not heard anything from God about the situation at the Red Sea, yet when the Children of Israel were cussing Moses, He was so confident, knowing that God wouldn't have brought them that far from Egypt; to die in the Red Sea. In the middle of your dilemma, I want you to know God wouldn't have brought you this fa...
