Title: *|FNAME|*, Keep Your Faith Working!

The Lord is El-Shaddai: the Almighty and All-sufficient One. In Him is found the solution to every challenge that you face in life, and He is every ready to help you out. However, faith is your connection to Heaven (Hebrews 11:6).

*|FNAME|*, what is the difference between a living faith and a dead faith? A living faith produces tangible results while a dead faith produces none! James 2:17 makes us to understand that faith without corresponding actions is dead. It is impossible to have living faith and do nothing or act opposite. Living faith moves you to act accordingly. Don’t be so self-righteous in the fact that you believe in God. Even the devils believe and they tremble – yet they are still damned because their deeds are evil (James 2:19).

Faith is the substance of things hoped for: it enables you to enjoy the realities of Heaven on this earth (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is confidence to live in the realities of God’s Word: faith is acting on the Word. It is your corresponding actions that keep your faith alive (James 2:26).

*|FNAME|*, do not be deceived! What you say matters a lot(Matthew 12:37). Don’t use your mouth to affirm fear, doubt and worry. Instead, speak words of faith. The key to speaking words of faith is ‘positive confession’. If all you want to do is ‘complain and criticise’, your faith will be compromised. Find out what the Word says about your situation. Then begin to claim, declare and proclaim it as yours on a daily basis (2 Corinthians 1:20, Romans 10:10).

Do not be deceived! What you do matters a lot (Galatians 6:7-9, Romans 2:6-11). You reap what you sow in this life, and also for eternity. What you do must correspond to the faith you profess! The key to doing deeds of faith is ‘obedience and compassion’. You have to listen out for what God is telling you and obey Him. God’s instructions are the key to your breakthroughs and miracles (John 2:5, James 2:14-16).

But how can you expect breakthroughs when you are mean towards your fellow humans? Your meanness towards people and the church will always compromise your faith because faith works through love (Galatians 5:6).

*|FNAME|*, keep your faith working through corresponding actions of positive confession, obedience and compassion. It is only a living faith that can produce tangible results.
