Persistent Faith

“I tell you, He will defend and protest and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8 [AMP]

Even if you die believing, die believing. Believe God! “Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:6-8. The problem with us is that we give up so easily in our hearts. Believe me it is a problem. Jesus says, “But how much of that kind of persistent faith will the Son of man find on earth when he returns?” Luke 18:8 [MSG].

I was speaking to my mother in time past and she said something that was very profound. She said, “if it is in your heart, God will put it in your hands!” If it is in your heart to build God’s Kingdom, guess what? God will put it in your hands to do it. That is how it works. The question is, is it in your heart?

To go from desire to results we need strategic action. We have spent several weeks on strategic action in the principles of war. Someone shared this acronym with us for the principles of war so that we can have it at our fingertips so to speak. The acronym is, OOMMISUEESSC, Objective, Offensive, Mass, Maneuver, Intelligence, Security, Unity of Command, Economy, Exploitation, Surprise, Simplicity and Concerted action. So maybe you want to borrow this acronym and you can apply it in different areas of your life.

The problem with some of us is that we do not do what we know. Take our finances for instance, we do things haphazardly. You know you are supposed to give, give! You know you are supposed to tithe, tithe! And sometimes because we do not do what we know, we do not get what we should get. Then we start to trouble heaven. That is why the children of this world are wiser in their own generation than the children of the Kingdom because they will do what they  need to do in their own world but you will not do what you need to do. Stop sleeping, get up and work, get up and pray, give the seed.

Prayer [song] I will wait on You, Almighty God, in the beauty of Your Holiness. And I will worship You, Almighty God, in the beauty of Your Holiness. Amen!
