HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD! 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD . . .” Amos 8:11-13. 

It is a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD and give your EARS to the HEARING of the SAYINGS of God, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you, as it is so obvious in many places today. 

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24. 

It is time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD. 

“So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23. 

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you LISTEN to will shape your life, every now and then. One is either HEARING the sayings of the WORD of God to be APPROVED or may be hearing sayings that are posed for self- APPLAUSE and HYPE by SOCIAL MEDIA and other MULTIMEDIA platforms; or by the tradition and rudiments of the world; or by satanic and cohort sayings; or by self make-believe or being made to believe; or by the circumstances of the environment and such like. 

It is time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin garbage simply because you want to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD, not SENTIMENTS and PREJUDICE that appeal to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERDS that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING that you might grow up in GRACE and be established in the FAITH. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). And it is your responsibility and accountability to locate one today and begin to hear aright the SAYINGS of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

There is a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It is not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God. 

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God, which when lacking, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one cannot trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It is therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy attitude and begin to examine what you are HEARING today, before – The FAMINE of the HEARING of the WORD kicks into your being and overwhelms you in life and godly living. 

For NO HEARING of the WORD means NO FAITH, and that means NO TRANSACTION in heaven for your earthly affairs under God. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or perverted or counterfeited or polluted and such like tender for transactions outside FAITH, which is derived and built up from the HEARING of THE WORD of God. 

Therefore, do yourself a favour and examine what you are hearing and feeding your being if it is God’s WORD, or any of these: Man-made beliefs, traditional dogmas, denominational creeds and byelaws, cultural sayings of the old fables, the rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, prejudice and sentimental appeals, and such like. 

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.  

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today,, before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe takes over. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“So then FAITH cometh BY HEARING, AND HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13. 

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23. 

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in THINE HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10. 

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

“But GROW in GRACE, and in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18. 

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

“I MARVEL that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, or an ANGEL from heaven, PREACH any other gospel unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any other gospel unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18. 

SUMMARY: 

Core Theme: The Urgency of Hearing God’s Word in a Season of Spiritual Famine 
The entire exhortation centres on one principle: faith comes only by hearing the Word of God. In a time marked by competing voices, doctrinal corruption, and spiritual apathy, the writer calls believers to guard their ears, reject diluted substitutes, and return to authentic Scripture as the only basis for faith and life. 

  1. Prophetic Warning: A Famine of Hearing the Word 

The message opens and closes with Amos 8:11-13 — God declaring a famine “not of bread nor thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord”. This is framed as a present reality: falsehoods, adulteration, perversion, and dilution of Scripture by “deluded preachers” under the banner of church/ministry. Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18 are cited to show that perverting the gospel and preaching from envy/strife are not new. 

  1. Theological Foundation: Faith = Hearing = Transaction with God 

Definition of faith: “Faith is the transaction tender between man and God.” It is the only currency heaven accepts for earthly affairs. 

Source of faith: Romans 10:17 — “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” No hearing of the Word = no faith = no transaction in heaven for your life. 

Command of Christ: Mark 11:22 — “Have faith in God.” Faith is not optional; it is a mandate. 

  1. Practical Instruction: Guard What You Hear 

Because “there are many voices in the air 24/7,” the believer must examine what they feed their spirit. The message lists counterfeit sources to reject: 

  • Man-made beliefs 
  • Traditional dogmas and denominational creeds/byelaws 
  • Cultural fables and old sayings 
  • Rudiments of this world + philosophy of men 
  • Prejudice and sentimental appeals 
  • Social media hype, self make-believe, circumstances, satanic/cohort sayings 

Proverbs 4:20-23 is used as the corrective: “Attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings… Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” 

  1. God’s Intent: Shepherds Who Feed with Knowledge 

Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7 establish God’s intent to give “shepherds according to mine heart” who feed with knowledge and understanding so believers grow in grace and are established in faith. This creates responsibility: locate such shepherds/places now and “hear aright the sayings of God in Christ Jesus’ stead.” 

  1. Consequences of Neglect 
    Personal: Lazy attitude leads to being overwhelmed by famine; “run to and fro” seeking the Word but not finding it, per Amos 8:12. 
    Spiritual: Fake, adulterated, perverted, counterfeited, or polluted “tender” cannot trade in the kingdom. Only faith built from the Word is accepted in heaven. 
    Doctrinal: Lack of genuine hearing produces lack of faith, which removes the believer from effective kingdom living. 
  1. Call to Action & Antidote

The only antidote to the famine of the Word is the hearing of the Word. 
Therefore: 

  1. Wake up now, before it’s too late. 
  2. Do yourself a favour today: examine what you hear. 
  3. Incline your ears to God’s Word to be “above only” Deuteronomy 28:13 even in challenging times. 
  4. Grow in grace and knowledge 2 Peter 3:18. Get wisdom and understanding Proverbs 4:7. 
  5. Confess and believe the Word of faith in your mouth and heart Romans 10:8-10. 

Scriptural Anchors Used Throughout 

  • Amos 8:11-13: Prophecy of famine of hearing 
  • Romans 10:17: Faith by hearing 
  • Proverbs 4:20-23: Attend, incline, keep the Word in heart 
  • Mark 11:22-24: Have faith in God 
  • Jeremiah 3:15: Shepherds that feed with knowledge 
  • Galatians 1:6-9: No other gospel; accursed if perverted 
  • Philippians 1:15-18: Some preach Christ from wrong motives 

Tone: Sober, urgent, prophetic, corrective. It is a call to repentance from spiritual laziness and sentimentality, back to Scripture as the sole authority for faith and living.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR NO WORD MEANS NO FAITH – AND NO PLEASING OF GOD! 

“. . . 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God. 3 For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:1-3. 

We live in the days of divergent INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or creates in us the attitude of FATE on other things. And INFORMATION is available in almost every facet of our way of doing life for various reasons; and most of the time, the information that is there may lure people away from the TRUTH for purposes intended to make them not HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that is why the INFORMATION that is available in some sources is not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life, to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.  

Suffice it to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH, though sometimes we use them interchangeably, which does not make spiritual, scriptural sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context. 

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it is ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. It thus means: if FAITH can COME or be activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of REFRESHING of The WORD. Which then indicates that NO WORD means a NO FAITH, and NO PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God Hebrews 11:6; and the consequence of NO FAITH is emptiness, noise-making, foolishness, stupidity, ignorance and God kept at a distance, for God can not dwell outside His WORD. 

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [walk with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 Amplified. 

Therefore, do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God, and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy are within your reach. Do something about yourself, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in every way. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

I plead with you today and even now to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to all His PROMISES, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 22-24. 

SUMMARY: 

The message opens with Romans 12:1-3: “Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” and “God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” 
Core thesis: Have faith in God: for no Word means no faith — and no pleasing of God [Hebrews 11:6]. Faith is sustained only by continuous hearing of God’s Word. In days of divergent information, only the Word produces transforming faith. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. Diagnosis of the Age: Divergent Information vs Truth
    We live in days of divergent information. Information shapes what we believe and our believing trajectory. That trajectory either builds faith toward God or produces an attitude of fate toward other things. 
    Observation: Most available information lures people away from truth to prevent them from having faith in God. Much of it is not transforming/transformative for godly living. Only God’s Word leads to faith in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. 
  2. Key Distinction: Faith vs Believe 
    Suffice it to know that faith is not believe and believe is not faith, though we use them interchangeably. 
    Definition: 
  • Believe = passive — mental assent. 
  • Faith = active — acting correspondingly on what you believe of and on God’s Word and sayings in scriptural context. 
    Faith is the obedient response to truth believed. 
  1. Mechanics of Faith: It is “Now” and Sustained by Hearing 
    Romans 10:17: “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 
    Doctrine: Faith comes by the hearing and continuous hearing of God’s Word. Faith does not come by “having heard” in the past. 
    Implication: If faith can come/activate by continuous hearing of the Word, then faith can also go/be inactive by lack of refreshing of the Word. 
    Formula: No Word = no faith = no pleasing of God. 
    Hebrews 11:6 Amplified: “Without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Consequence of no faith: emptiness, noisemaking, foolishness, stupidity, ignorance, and God kept at a distance, for God cannot dwell outside His Word. 
  2. Pastoral Charge + Application 
    Therefore, do yourself a favour and get back into the continuous mood and realm of the hearing of the Word of God, and not in stories, comments, analogy, or make-believe of men about the Word. 
    Promise: Your happiness and joy are within your reach. Do something about yourself so your faith works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in every way. 
    John 8:30-32: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Freedom, discipleship, and victory come through abiding in the Word. 
  3. Closing Plea + Character of God 
    I plead with you today and even now to have faith in God, for He is good and faithful, true and sure to all His promises, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 
  4. Scriptural Thoughts Worth Pondering 
    The message reinforces the theology of faith with anchor texts: 
  • Romans 10:17 – Faith comes by hearing the Word 
  • Hebrews 11:6 – Without faith impossible to please God; He rewards diligent seekers 
  • 1 John 5:3-5 – This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith 
  • Romans 12:3 – God has dealt to every man the measure of faith 
  • Mark 11:22-24 – “Have faith in God… believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” — faith speaks + expects 

In one sentence: The message is a warning against information overload without the Word, followed by a call to return to continuous hearing of God’s Word because faith is active, present-tense, and the only way to please God — and it is sustained only by the Word, not by past encounters or men’s opinions. 

This works as a 3-part teaching outline: Problem: Information without Word → Principle: Faith is active + now → Practice: Continue in the Word to please God and overcome the world.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: NO WORD, NO FAITH – NO PLEASING OF GOD!

Firstly, FAITH is not BELIEVE. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE.

It thus means if FAITH can COME or activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. It thus means NO WORD, NO FAITH, NO PLEASING OF GOD – otherwise emptiness and noise making and God at distance.

Do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in everyway.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE, to all His PROMISES.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places.

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.

“So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you listen to shape up your life every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD by social and other media platforms; and or the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or self make-believe or made-believe, and or the circumstances of the environment.

It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not SENTIMENTS that appeals to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). Locate one today.

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the “THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD KICKS INTO YOUR BEING.

A NO HEARING means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or counterfeited or polluted and such likes tender outside THE WORD of God that builds up FAITH.

Do yourself a favour and examine what you are feeding your being if its God’s WORD or any of these: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, creeds, byelaws, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, emotional sentimental appeals and such likes.

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then FAITH cometh BY HEARING, AND HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in THINE HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

BELIEVE – HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR A ‘NO’ WORD, MEANS A ‘NO’ FAITH – AND A ‘NO’ PLEASING OF GOD!
 
“. . . 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God. 3 For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:1-3.
 
We live in the days of divergence INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or create in us the attitude of FATE on other things.
 
And INFORMATION is available in almost every facets of our ways of doing life for various reasons; and majority of the time, the information that are there may lure people away from the TRUTH for the intended purpose for them not to HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that’s the reason why the INFORMATION that are available in some sources are not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Suffice to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH though sometimes we use them interchangeably which doesn’t make spiritual, scriptural context sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context.

“My son, attend to my WORDS; incline thine EAR unto MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:18-23.
 
FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. It thus means if FAITH can COME or be activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING and HEARING of The WORD. Which then indicates that a ‘NO’ WORD, means a ‘NO’ FAITH, and a ‘NO’ PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God [Hebrews 11:6]; and the consequence of a `NO` FAITH is emptiness, noise making, fooolishness, stupidity, ignorance, and God being kept at a distance, for God can’t dwell outside His WORD.
 
“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
 
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your NAME for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your NAME !” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
Therefore, do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD . . .” Amos 8:11-13.

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, and give your EARS to the HEARING of the SAYINGS of God, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places today.

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.

“So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you LISTEN to will shape up your life, in every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise may be hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD and HYPE by SOCIAL MEDIA and other MULTIMEDIA platforms; and or by the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or by the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or by self make-believe or made-believe, and or by the circumstances of the environment and such like.

It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin garbage simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not to SENTIMENTS and PREJUDICE that appeal to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING that you might grow up in GRACE and be established in the FAITH. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). And it’s responsibility and accountability toward locating one today and begin to hear aright the SAYINGS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the – The FAMINE of the HEARING of the WORD kicks into your being and overwhelms you in life and godly living.

For a NO HEARING of the WORD means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION in the heavenly for your earthly affairs under God. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or perverted or counterfeited or polluted and such like tender for transactions outside FAITH which is derived build up from the HEARING of THE WORD of God.

Therefore, do yourself a favour and examine what you are hearing and feeding your being if it’s God’s WORD or any of these but not limited: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, denominational creeds and bye-laws, cultural sayings of the old fables, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, prejudice and sentimental appeals and such like.

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then FAITH cometh BY HEARING, AND HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in THINE HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“But GROW in GRACE, and in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“I MARVEL that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, or an ANGEL from heaven, PREACH any other gospel unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any other gospel unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: No WORD, No FAITH – No PLEASING Of God!

Firstly, FAITH is not BELIEVE. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE.

It thus means if FAITH can COME or activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. It thus means NO WORD, NO FAITH, NO PLEASING OF GOD – otherwise emptiness and noise making and God at distance.

Do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the The WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in everyway.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE, to all His PROMISES.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.
