FAITH IS A LAW

Romans 3:27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. (NIV)

Every country in the world has laws which legalize or legitimate actions, behavior and other dealings. Whatever anyone does within the ambit of a given law is legitimate. It is law that makes actions right or wrong. 

The Christian being a new creature has two new laws that governs him; faith and love. Faith is a law. That means whenever you are operating by faith it is a legitimate operation. 
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. (AMP)

The law of our new being requires faith. Without which we cannot function or are not authorized to function. The new creation functions only by faith. Any operation (thought, words or actions) outside faith is illegal. It's important we understand and take heed to this, because a lot of people are faced with questions and challenges they have no solution to, not realizing the role of faith. 
Romans 14:23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

What is faith? Faith is acting on the Word of God now. Faith is present tense. The action of faith is present-continous tense.
Everything that does not come from faith is sin (unlawful). Faith is a law the Christian must abide by. A Christian can only live legally and happily within the law of faith. 
We live by faith means faith is the way we live. Anything outside faith is not a legitimate life for us.
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.

The only thing that truly matters in the Christian life is faith expressing itself in love. Faith must be clothed with love, and love must be expressed with faith.
Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

CONFESSION

My life is a life of faith, I function within the framework of the law of faith. I speak only faith-filled words and have faith orchestrated results. I walk daily by faith and not by sight, my expression of faith through love is producing for me tremendous results. Amen!

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 12 Episode 1

WISDOM KEEPS YOU FROM ADULTERY Nothing destroys a man or woman than sexual immorality, and more so adultery. But if you heed to wisdom it will keep you from this. As we have a wayward woman so we have a wayward man. One who leaves their partner to go after another. There is no justifiable reason for it. Don't be an adulterous woman or adulterous man.  As a woman avoid married men if you don't want to destroy your own soul. The easiest way for anyone to start his or her hell on earth is to be an adulterous person or have an affair with a married person. Why love another man's wife? Why love another woman's husband? Why? Avoid this, spare yourself doom. If you would heed wisdom it will save you from the adulterous woman or man. Proverbs 2:16-19 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her ...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 1 episode 1

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM Wisdom will begin to work in and through you and produce results when you fear the Lord. Yes wisdom begin with the fear of the Lord. If you find a person who is not wise in the ways of God you find a person who has no fear of the Lord. Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. He says there is no God. He doesn't acknowledge God nor have regard for or fear of Him. Consequently he became corrupt, his deeds are vile, he does no good. Because he has no fear of the Lord. It takes the fear of the Lord to walk in the ways of the Lord. Psalms 14:2-3 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. It takes the fear of the Lord to do good. It takes the fear of the Lord to understand and seek God. If you find people who do not...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 10 episode 1

WISDOM DO GOOD We already know that wisdom is known for its deeds. Wisdom is no wisdom if it is not practiced. True wisdom is practicable.  One of the marks of wisdom is good deeds. A wise man does good. It takes loyalty to wisdom (God's Word) to do good. God's Word teaches us to do good. But a foolish man withhold good.  DO NOT WITHHOLD GOOD Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Good is an element of righteousness. Wisdom too is an element of righteousness. One of the things that sets one apart as wise and righteousness is good deeds. If you find yourself in a position to render help don't withhold it. A wise person doesn't act unbecoming.  If you find a person who hoard to himself you find a foolish person. Greed stems from foolishness; they are relatives. It is lack of understanding that leads to greed. If you understand God's wisdom; God's perspective you would give, you would do good. Wisdom does g...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 4 episode 1

TURN YOUR EARS TO WISDOM Everyone listens to a voice or voices. Voices comes to one's mind through three main sources. The flesh, satan and God.  The flesh would speak to you based on impulses, emotions and sight. Satan deceitfully speak to people through their flesh, desire and even perversely quoting the Bible. Then God speaks to us through His Word.  None of these voices forces you to listen to or obey it. The flesh cannot force you to listen and obey its voice, satan cannot, and God would not. Listening to any voice that comes to you is a choice. Many voices may come to your ears but you would choose which to turn your ears to you.  You would hear voice of fear, doubt, failing, uncertainty, faith, assurance, victory, riches but deliberately turn your ears to what you want to hear. Instead of turning your ears to gossip turn it to wisdom. Instead of turning your ears to feelings, fears and anxiety turn it to wisdom. Don't let negative voices dominate you. Don't dwell o...
