For we walk by faith, not by sight.   (2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV)

There was a time when the people of Israel were in captivity at Babylon as a result of their sins, disobedience, and idol worship. They had lost their lands, homes, temples, families, and almost everything. They were very depressed, and the situation seemed impossible to be turned around. One day, the Lord took the prophet Ezekiel to the valley of dry bones and asked him to speak to the dry bones which represent the difficult situation so they will come to life (Ez 37).

As Believers, we face similar difficult situations all the time in our ministries, health, marriages, jobs, education, etc. These situations may sometimes be so unbearable that you would want to give up on your Faith. Some friends may even advise you to forget your Faith and face reality.

As Believers, what is our reality? Our reality is not the current difficult situation we are experiencing. However, our reality is Christ! Our reality is what Christ has accomplished for us, the Inheritance we have in Him, and the faithful promises He has given us (Jn 3:16, Eph 1:3).

Therefore, if you are experiencing contradictions to your Inheritance in Christ or the promises the Lord has given you, don’t give up on your Faith. You should continue to trust and believe in the Lord and always make positive declarations by Faith into your life (Prov 18:21). In due time, you will see the manifestation of your Inheritance in Christ and the promise of God in your Life. For example, when you are sick, believe and confess continuously that you are already healed in Christ, and you will surely receive your healing in Jesus’ name (1 Pet 2:24).

Beloved in the Lord, we are mostly faced with difficult situations in Life and Ministry which may seem contrary to what the Lord has promised. However, if we continue to believe in the Lord and make declarations by Faith concerning the situations, God will definitely turn things around for our good. This is because we live by Faith and not by sight!

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His Word today. Let’s ask God to help all Believers to continue to believe in the Lord’s promise and our Inheritance in Christ irrespective of the contradictions we may experience.

God bless you all!
