There are practical workings of faith in the life of a believer. Faith is essential to Christian living, impacting how we think, act, and relate to God.
Introduction
In this sermon, Reverend Kwame Owusu-Daaku expounds on how faith functions in the believer’s life, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. Faith is portrayed as a vital force that governs the Christian walk, influencing decisions, actions, and our relationship with God.
Main Themes
1. Definition of Faith
Faith gives substance to our hopes and serves as proof of things we cannot see with our natural
eyes.
2. Faith as a Lifestyle
Faith is not occasional; it is a daily walk and mindset for every believer.
3. Hearing the Word
Faith grows by continually hearing and meditating on God’s Word.
4. Acting on the Word
Genuine faith is shown through actions. It’s not enough to believe mentally—faith must be lived
out.
5. Overcoming Doubt
Believers must combat doubt by focusing on God’s unchanging promises.
6. Patience and Endurance
Faith often involves waiting. Trust God’s timing, even when answers seem delayed.
7. Faith Pleases God
Living by faith brings joy to God. It aligns us with His will and releases His favor.
Conclusion
Faith is the foundation for accessing God’s promises and living a victorious Christian life. By continually hearing God’s Word, acting upon it, resisting doubt, and enduring patiently, believers can operate in a faith that pleases God and transforms circumstances.
