The Practice of Faith - Chidera Bisong (July 29, 2023)

In this teaching, the essence of faith as a powerful force in the Christian journey is emphasized. Faith is described as a divine gift, powered by the love of God, that propels believers into action. Through various biblical examples, including Peter walking on water and the woman with the issue of blood, the message underscores that faith is not just about belief but also about trust and obedience to God's word. The teaching delves into the interconnectedness of faith, hope, and love, highlighting that love is the driving force behind faith and hope. The Holy Spirit plays a pivotal role in this dynamic, as it downloads the agape love of the Father into believers' hearts, enabling them to express it back to Him. The teaching concludes with a call to perseverance, emphasizing that even in the face of challenges, believers should remain steadfast, trusting in God's word and waiting patiently for His promises to manifest. The importance of reverence and fear of the Lord is also touched upon, urging believers to continuously seek a deeper understanding and intimacy with God.
