The Favored One - Part Three.

Landmark Beach, Lagos, Nigeria / The Saint

Text: ​“So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.”” ― Daniel 1:11-13, NKJV. 

Keynote #15: Faith is being able to hand over the things you cannot do into the hands of someone who can do the things you cannot. Your inability to hand them over to Him is called a lack of faith.

Keynote #16: Faith is the ability to see a future you want that makes sense of your present.

“Faith is not opposed to knowledge; faith is opposed to sight. And grace is not opposed to effort; it is opposed to earning.” – Dallas Willard.

Keynote #17: Faith is not opposed to knowledge. We bring God over knowledge. (Romans 10:17) 

Keynote #18: Faith is opposed to sight. It brings God over the sight, to see Him overriding it. (2 Corinthians 5:7) 

It is what you see, not what you are looking at that runs your motors.

The just shall walk by vision, not sight.

"For we walk by faith, not by sight." – 2 Corinthians 5:7.

Keynote #19: Grace is not opposed to effort; it is opposed to earning. (Galatians 2:21; James 2:14-26)

Grace will not work unless you do. Remember it is only as powerful as your belief in it. Without faith, grace is of no use.

You need faith to make the grace upon your life not be in vain.

You cannot earn God's grace, but you can render it effective or ineffective.

Grace comes from God. Faith comes from you.

Faith, not works, is the way you receive and cause grace to be effective in your life.

God is merciful and full of grace, but He will not force Himself on you.

“Faith is not opposed to knowledge; faith is opposed to sight. And grace is not opposed to effort; it is opposed to earning.” – Dallas Willard.
