ACTIVE FAITH

faith to live by

SCROLL DOWN
 “Faith is to believe what you do not see;
the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.“

SAINT AUGUSTINE
 FAITH
MAMMA
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are
visible.
READINGS
THE MUCHIRI FAMILY SERMONETTE

HEBREWS 11: 1- 2

EXAMPLES OF FAITH
HEBREWS 3 - 12

MWENDA By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of
his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken, he had
this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and
that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which
he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

COSY By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing
where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him
of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him
faithful who had promised. Therefore, from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude —
innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t
see anything.” Seven times Elijah told him to go and look.
Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little
cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.”
Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb
into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the
rain will stop you!’” And soon the sky was black with
clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and
Ahab left quickly for Jezreel.

 How will you practice active faith this week?
Can you reach into the darkness knowing that
God will light your path?
THE MUCHIRI FAMILY SERMONETTE

We must pray earnestly, fervently. We must not give up. We must continually come before our
Father asking Him to hear us, to answer. We must have an attitude of expectation (Psalm 5:3),
believing that God is able and willing to answer our prayers.

We must remember that it is God’s faithfulness that we are calling on, his character. It’s about
a God who longs to connect with us, to help us in our time of need. We must have faith that
He is willing and able to do far more than we could ever ask or imagine.

We must practice active faith – following our intuition (the small voice 1 Kings 19:11-18)

Psalms 5:3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the

morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
