Month Theme: Faith
Topic: The Dynamics of Faith
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 11:1-40
Main Text:
Hebrews 11:1
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Dynamics is the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of forces. The dynamics of faith is the application of faith by the believer to receive answered prayers and obtain results. The dynamics of faith therefore deals with the interaction of faith in your hear and the influence of faith on your heart. Just like a body reacts to a force that is applied on it, the life of a believer reacts to faith. Noah used faith to build the ark, escape the flood and replenish the earth (Hebrews 11:7).
Lamech named his son Noah because the world and the earth needed comfort and rest concerning the toil of their hands (Genesis 5:28-29). You are the “Noah” born into your family. You will bring rest and comfort to the family. Your family will survive difficult moments because of you. Hebrews 11:7 describes the dynamics of Noah’s faith. The rest Noah brought the earth came through the application of his faith. The greatest WEAPON OR TOOL in the hands of sons of rest is FAITH.
Noah could have chosen to use other human faculties, abilities or resources to survive the flood and fill the earth but he used faith. Faith worked in every aspect and stage of Noah’s life to produce results. Study the dynamics of faith and use it to survive the flood (covid-19) and replenish the earth. Lamech raised a man (son) who had faith but not big education and exposure. Use your faith to bring rest to your family and people.
Prayer: Pray for the grace to move towards where faith directs you.
