And what shall I more say? for
the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of
Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith
subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths
of lions (Hebrews 11:32-33).
The Lord Jesus said if you have faith, as a grain of mustard seed,
nothing shall be impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).Your faith is your currency
to rule your world.
The Bible tells us of certain men and women who through faith dominated
the world of their time (Hebrews 11:32-33). The eleventh chapter of the book of
Hebrews gives us an insightful chronicle of the extraordinary accomplishments
of some of these great men and women of faith: how they subdued kingdoms, and
functioned in righteousness, standing their grounds in their convictions. Their
faith serves as an example for us today. Their deeds were written for our
inspiration and edification; letting us know we can do the same.
Let’s reflect on the attitude of one of these great heroes of faith—Joshua.
By faith, he led the children of Israel to march round the intimidating walls
of Jericho seven times, with the menacing walls coming down flat on the seventh
count, as they gave the victory shout (read Joshua 6:16-20). You can live
every day in victory and dominion through faith. The Bible admonishes us to be
"...followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the
promises" (Hebrews 6:12). Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, the prophets of
old, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Apostles have all set examples of faith for
us to emulate.
You can face and overcome whatever obstacle is before you by speaking
forth words of faith. You can effect changes and do great things in your world
today. You too can manifest righteousness and give life to the dead or hopeless
situations. You can revive your business if it’s been grounded, or keep it
growing from glory to glory. You can excel greatly in ministry, in your
academics, career or profession and be a wonder to your world. Your faith is
the currency; rule your world with it.
Confession
The Word of faith is in my heart and my mouth, and
it prevails as I speak it forth. My life is the testimony of God’s grace and a
harvest of blessings because I walk by faith in His Word. I’m more than a
conqueror, and my faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Halleluiah!
