      Open Heavens 30 March 2018, Friday Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A Adeboye

      Topic: The Living Faith

      Memorise: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

      Read: James 2:17-26 (KJV)

      17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
      18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
      19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
      20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
      21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
      22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
      23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
      24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
      25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
      26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

      Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 25-27, Philippians 1, Hymnal: Sing hymn 5

      Message: Open Heavens 30 March 2018
      The title of today’s devotional presupposes at least two categories of faith: living and dead faith. In James 2:17-26, the Holy Spirit confirms to us that there is indeed faith, and He also teaches us what makes faith have life. My prayer for you is that any aspect of your faith that is dead will come alive today in Jesus’ Name. Is it not amazing that faith, as powerful as it is, cannot stand on its own without works? This is not contestable, because it is the word of God. James 2:18 puts it this way: Open Heavens [30 March 2018]

      “Yet, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee faith by my works.”

      Faith sees into the invisible and beholds what the Almighty God is capable of doing. While the act of exercising faith can spur God into action, there is also an obligation on the part of the one exercising faith. The obligation is the work of faith which we are talking about today. Without this, faith is seen to be lifeless. Apostle James expounded on this truth with the classical example of the father of faith, Abraham.

      Open Heavens 30 March 2018: Good Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Living Faith

      “Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.”
      James 2:21-23

      Beloved, what would have been left of Abraham’s walk of faith if he had refused when God asked him to offer his only son, Isaac, as a burnt offering? Thank God Abraham acted on the demand of God. In response to the demonstration of his faith that had moved from theory to practical, God said to Abraham:

      “…Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.”
      Genesis 22:12

      After all the time that Abraham had been walking with God, why did God say “It’s now I know you fear Me?” It’s because his works had collided with his faith, which then came alive and became substantial. Beloved, do you have living faith in God?

      Prayer Point: Open Heavens 30 March 2018
      Father, please impart in my spirit the living faith that pleases You in practical terms from today, in Jesus’ Name.

      Open Heavens 30 March 2018 Daily Devotional Messages was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, one of the largest evangelical Church in the world and also the President of Christ the Redeemer’s Ministries.

      Sing hymn 5I – HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS

      I have decided to follow Jesus;
      I have decided to follow Jesus;
      I have decided to follow Jesus;
      No turning back, no turning back.

      The world behind me, the cross
      Before me;
      The world behind me, the cross
      before me;
      The world behind me, the cross
      Before me;
      No turning back, no turning back.

      Through none go with me, still I
      Will follow;
      Through none go with me, still I
      Will follow;
      Through none go with me, still I
      Will follow;
      No turning back, no turning back.

      My cross 1’ll carry, till I see Jesus;
      My cross 1’ll carry, till I see Jesus;
      My cross 1’ll carry, till I see Jesus;
      No turning back, no turning back.

      Will you decide now to follow
      Jesus?
      Will you decide now to follow
      Jesus?
      Will you decide now to follow
      Jesus?
      No turning back, no turning back.
