THE TWO SIDES OF FAITH

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. NASB

Faith is what gives value and colour to the Christian life. Without faith, Christianity will just be another dead religion with no power. It is very important that you give heed to the word of faith and get to know how faith works. It will do you a lot of good.

Faith has two sides; it is very important you get to know this truth. Firstly, faith is a “shield”. Ephesians 6:16 says, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” As a shield, it serves as a defensive weapon against satanic opposition. It quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Thus, if your faith is not working, you are defenceless, and you will be exposed to all kinds of satanic onslaught. It will be like a soldier on a battlefield fighting without any form of defence; that is dangerous. You need defence in this wicked world in which you live in. To walk in this world without the shield of faith is not safe.

What word of faith have you believed concerning divine protection? I just know that evil cannot come near my dwelling. I know that I cannot have an accident. I just know that I am superior to death. I just know that I cannot be sick. These things that I have firmly believed serves as a shield for me.

Secondly, faith is also an "offensive weapon". Matthew 17:20 says, .......for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

You can use faith to put the enemy to flight. You can use faith to move mountains. For instance, if sickness attacks you, you can release your faith to command that sickness to die in the name of Jesus Christ. You can use your faith to call forth divine supply from heaven.

These are the two sides of faith. Faith is both a defensive and an offensive weapon. As a child of God, you already have faith; use it for your advantage. Take the time to learn the word of faith. Don’t joke with the subject of faith. If you don’t take it seriously, you will end up as a victim on earth
