WALKING BY FAITH

September 21, 2013

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you are climbing the stair at night and suddenly light goes out? In that case, you start climbing the stair anyhow. Sometimes you climb two stairs at once and some other times, you even close your eyes and just climb anyhow without minding anything – you just climb!

In the physical world, you need your sight to walk, but in the spiritual world, you need your faith to walk and we all know that the spiritual controls the physical. 2 Cor 5:7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” Walking by faith is what makes a man clear his account just to finance God’s business because he is assured that God will supply of his needs not according to his salary or income, but according to God’s own riches in glory through Christ. Walking by faith means “moving ahead in confidence, even when you can’t see around the next corner.”

Abraham was asked to go sacrifice his only son, however, on their way to the place of sacrifice, Isaac asked, “Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.” Before then, there was no lamb discussion between Abraham and God, but when father Abraham kept walking towards Moriah without a lamb but just a very very calm son, God knew He had to do something before someone commit murder.

Walking by faith means doing away with the natural sight and seeing with the eyes of your spirit. When you walk by faith, you are assured of the truth that you are walking with Christ because He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith and your gaze is fixed on Him alone. Sir, you are in this world but not of this world, so stop walking by sight like the worldly people do and start walking by faith.
