For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)The walk of faith is the lifestyle of every Christian. The earlier you realize this, the better for you. The reason is that you’ll be confronted with several challenges along your path. Amidst these, your testimony must remain consistent with what God has said. The Bible says, And being not weak in faith, he (Abraham) considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God (Romans 4:19-20).
People laughed at and made mockery of Abraham, yet, he kept testifying that God has made him the father of many nations and his wife, Sarah, mother of princes. At the end, his tongue-work produced for him a son just as the Lord had said. Moreover, the Bible says, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelations 12:11 KJV).
Though the devil accused them day and night, they overcame him by their testimonies. Your testimony is your victory! You can’t afford to be swayed by what you see, feel or hear; otherwise, you’ll begin to talk like ordinary men.
2 Corinthians 4:18 says, While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.When you walk by faith, your words may sound foolish to the spiritually undiscerning but you’re speaking the wisdom of God. The Bible says, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1Corinthians 2:14). So put your tongue to work and build your life strong as you testify of the Lord’s goodness everyday.
