HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH

“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.” Romans 4:20 (KJV)
Beloved, I want to challenge you to hold on to your faith in God. If God has said something to you, don’t let any man pull you out of your steadfastness, commitment, dedication, and faithfulness. God is not a man that He should lie, neither is He the son of man that He should repent. If He said it, He will bring it to pass.
Abraham never stopped believing, and he refused to be distracted. The enemy releases scoffers because he knows that he is losing ground. That is why he is jumping into places of worship and distracting people. That is why some people will start in faith and end up in the flesh.
2 Peter 3:8 says: “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day”. In other words, God sees a thousand years as now because He does not have tomorrow to answer prayers. It is now! “Now Faith is…” (Hebrews11:1).
Faith is now! A thousand years is like now to God because He created time by Himself. In His domain, there is no time frame. He is always the same. And so, whatever He promised, it is not what He will do or about to do. He has already done it. The devil cannot change what God has perfected in eternity. Your miracle is now! Whatever your desire is, it has been done. That was why Jesus said: “It is finished.” All you have to do is keep standing. Don’t allow the enemy to shake your faith because you already have the answer to all your questions.
No matter how it looks on the outside, your manifestation is guaranteed. What you should do in times like this is to keep on praising God. Even when it doesn’t look good, keep on praising Him. That is what is called the sacrifice of praise.
