Faith, The Energizer Of The Mind
Your strength is in your faith. When you discover the truth faith preaches, you will become a part of the crusade. One day I was going through what Hebrews 11:1 says about faith. 'evidence of things not seen...'' I asked myself, 'how can I grasp evidence of something I've not seen?' and faith wispered to me; viewing the picture of the unseen in its substantial nature.'' Isn't that amazing? I've always said that strength is not something one can get through the means of weakness.
Faithlessness is the weakness to believe the truth. Faith preaches truth you know? Because truth is always embedded on the power faith generates. You can't win what you are affraid to fight. Why? Because winning emerges through the act of fighting.
You can't demostrate the strong power in the face of a storm when you've not separated your mind from the tricks of fear.
Faith is a force that consumes our fears. A son on his sick bed asked his father where he can get the strength to challenge his fears. The father pointed at the inscription on the wall with a convincing smile. It reads: ''FAITH MOVES MOUNTAIN.'' The son stuttered, '' but dad 'I never asked you for a written word like faith. I've seen that word many times in books. See dad, I know the word faith. But I'm only asking for a solution to my fears!'' The father drew closer to the lad, rob his small shoulders, with a tear-stained eyes and said to him, 'son faith is not just a written word.
Faith is the watchword that configures the heart to function beyond what the eyes see''. Most times what we see is a written word in our Bibles like that lad. Faith must operate on the mind, not on the paper. It's beyond the limitation of that lad's thinking and understanding. Pastor Olusola Aregun said that ''faith is the key that moves the hand that moves the world.'' The strength in your heart is found in the faith in your mind. God bless you!
