For
we walk by faith, not by sight (2
Corinthians 5:7)
The walk
of faith is the lifestyle of every Christian. The earlier you realize this, the
better for you. The reason is that you’ll be confronted with several challenges
along your path. Amidst these, your testimony must remain consistent with what
God has said. The Bible says, And being not weak in faith, he (Abraham)
considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old,
neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He staggered not at the promise of
God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God (Romans
4:19-20).
People
laughed at and made mockery of Abraham, yet, he kept testifying that God has
made him the father of many nations and his wife, Sarah, mother of princes. At
the end, his tongue-work produced for him a son just as the Lord had said.
Moreover, the Bible says, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and
by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelations
12:11 KJV).
Though
the devil accused them day and night, they overcame him by their testimonies.
Your testimony is your victory! You can’t afford to be swayed by what you see,
feel or hear; otherwise, you’ll begin to talk like ordinary men.2
Corinthians 4:18 says, While we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. When you walk by
faith, your words may sound foolish to the spiritually undiscerning but you’re
speaking the wisdom of God.
The Bible
says, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). So put your tongue to
work and build your life strong as you testify of the Lord’s goodness every day.
