It’s A Spiritual Reaction – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 11th

(The Word You Hear Imparts Faith To You)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 10:17
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

LET’S TALK
I remember a certain young man who came to one of our meetings years ago. He came in saying he didn’t believe and wasn’t going to believe any of the things we were sharing.

But his friends convinced him to come nonetheless. So he sat in the meeting, trying not to believe.

But he was “hearing” the message (remember, faith comes by hearing). Later on, when I had a chat with him, he said, “Somehow, I found myself accepting the things you shared; I believe everything you said.” He couldn’t escape it because faith comes when you hear the Word! Hallelujah!

You might have noticed that sometimes, as you sit listening to or studying God’s Word, your spirit becomes energised. At such times, all the challenges you may have been facing suddenly seem like nothing.

The reason is that, at that moment, the Word you’re receiving stirs faith in your heart. The Word of God is spiritual; therefore, it’s even more real than the physical things that your senses perceive.

That’s why, when you receive the Word into your spirit, a spiritual reaction is ignited between your spirit and the Word of God that gives you dominion over circumstances. When that reaction takes place, faith rises in you like a giant, and you have the assurance of victory.

Even if you thought your faith was little or small, Jesus said that little faith can do great things; it can literally move a mountain (Matthew 21:21). Or, perhaps, you’re thinking, “I don’t have faith.”

Our opening verse tells us how to get it: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

Whenever you think you don’t have enough faith, it means it’s time for you to hear more of God’s Word. The Word will, of necessity, impart faith to you; it’s a principle of the Kingdom of God.

You don’t have to struggle for it to happen; if you’ll pay attention to the Word of God, faith will come to you.

Pray:
Dear Father, as I study and meditate on your Word, I discover my inheritance in Christ, and I also receive the faith to relate with and enjoy all that you’ve made available to me in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
