Faith in Action

Take for example, “I say I love you,” My character and attitude must conform showing that indeed that I do love you by the way I respond to you, I help and assist you, my patience with you, my trust in what you tell me, and agreeing with you in almost all you say because I know you won’t miss lead me. I will always watch your back as well. Now this is faith in action. Anything other than this is manipulation especially the attitude and response towards your strength and weaknesses. Many of us Christians miss it when we say we have faith in God yet our attitude and character does not conform to what we confess. No way can the power of God flow in our lives no matter our fasting and prayers. When I speak of God’s power I mean the life of Christ flowing through you to touch the lives of unbelievers.

Vs 9 of that James 2 hit me like a bolt and I prayed and asked God to please help me not to and never to do preferences when I approach people or their matters. Funny enough I was meditating over 1 Corinthians 13 three days ago and it was as if my eyes was wide open and I began to see that all these we are running after; prophecy, knowledge, fasting and prayers, faith, miracles and power to heal etc if I don’t have love for my fellow man …….all I have gotten is a waste.

Love is the ultimate and will last forever whereas other things are just here today and gone tomorrow. So when Christ’s love rule in our hearts we are sure of heaven and will also experience other gifts of the Holy Spirit in full measure.

May the Lord perfect all that concerns us in Jesus name….Amen!!!!
