*NGAT DAILY BREAD*

*DATE:* *FRIDAY 21ST OCTOBER 2016*
*THEME:* *THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH*
*TEXT:* *HABAKKUK 2:4, HEBREW 11:6, 32-35*

"But the just shall live by his faith."

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who THROUGH FAITH subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection."

To the saviours I write,

Your greatest asset in the Kingdom of God is your FAITH, and it's the number one target of the enemy (devil). The devil is not after your prayer life or fasting, not even after your services in God's vineyard, but your Faith.

The devil knows that once he succeeded shipwrecking your faith, even though you own every other things, you've been won by him. He knows without faith it is impossible for you to please. He would use anything possible to make sure you doubt the integrity of God and His Word.

This is why the bible says in Ephesians 6:16, "ABOVE ALL, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And also 1John 5:4, " For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

If you loose everything on earth, like JOB, but your faith in God is still intact, I tell you, you've lost nothing.

I write to challenge you today, guide your Faith jealousy, and keep building yourself in your most holy faith. Everything in the Kingdom of God operate by FAITH. In fact, Christianity is called THE FAITH. If you're a doubter, please forget about getting anything from God. We operate on the key of Faith here in God's kingdom.

*Now check these out:*

- And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to THE FAITH. And Stephen, FULL OF FAITH and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
Acts6:7.

- Faith is your greatest defence against devil's assorts. Ephesians 6:16, "ABOVE ALL, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

- God cannot protect you without your faith. "They that TRUST in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
so the LORD is round about his people from
henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity."

- Faith is either absolute or fake. You must ask things from God in Faith to see result: "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:6-8.

- Doing exploits in God's kingdom like those men in one of the central texts is not even according to your fasting or prayer first, but according to your Faith (By faith they.......). Matt 17:16-20: "And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O FAITHLESS and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have FAITH as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

- Nothing silence your enemies like when your faith is in action. 2 Timothy 1:12, " For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day."

Note this: Your greatest problem is not the devil, but your faith. And until YOU go through the LABOUR ROOM of God's word you cannot deliver faith. We must labour in the Word before we can deliver faith.

NO ONE can have faith for you. You must go through the labour room YOURSELF to deliver. No one can deliver for you. This is the greatest secrete of men of God that are commanding exploit outside there. The just shall live by 'his' faith. They spend time building their faiths by devouring the Word. They believed whatever God says they're capable of doing in His Word.

I conclude by saying, if your service in the vineyard of God is not done IN FAITH, then forget about any reward.

*Food for thought*

Rom 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
