FAITH AND VISION
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 6TH JULY 2017
TOPIC: FAITH AND VISION
SCRIPTURE: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God - Hebrews 12:2
MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1
DIGGING DEEP: Faith is the capacity not to only trust in God, but to have the capacity to act and do what God does. Because the life of faith is the God life and the only way God does things.
Faith is the capacity to focus and relate with Jesus and not the realities of life.
There is a connection between vision and faith. Because what you look at either inspires fear or faith. Sotherefore, when you look unto Jesus faith is relinguished and fear is extinguished.
If you have faith in man, in giftings, talents your credentials it is useless faith. Faith is not earthly focused, it is focused upon Christ. Christ is seated in glory hence if your faith is on Him, you will draw from the treasures of His glory.
Faith seems weak today because it is either people don't look or they don't look well at Jesus. Our anchor Scripture says " Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith..." The meaning of this is that:
1. If we must succeed in our walk of faith, we must look at Jesus. We must copy Him.
2. Faith is strengthened when our gaze and total attention is fixed on Christ.
3. Jesus is the provider and completer of faith.
4. Any faith that does not have Jesus as the focus is fake.
The Isrealites where attacked by a serpent and people were dying in Numbers 21:8 God told Moses to make a serpent and place it on a pole, so that anyone that look at it will live. Those that kept looking at it did not die, but those that turned there eyes off it died. And this act was a shadow of Christ on the cross (John 3:14-15). Focussing on Jesus is the cure to the poison of sin and death on the soul of man.
How do you look unto Jesus? The easiest way to fix our gaze upon Him is by knowing Him. Secondly by searching the Bible. Thirdly, by relying upon His promises. Fourtly, by obeying to do His commands. Finally, by daily communion with Him.
PRAYER: O Lord i fix my eyes upon you increase my faith in you in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: Focus on Christ is the locus of faith - Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Isaiah 41
