EXEMPLIFYING FAITH | Worship of Faith

The series of Exempliying Faith continued with a sermon titled "Worship by Faith" a story about Abel's worthy sacrifice. This week, Pastor Joy reminded us that faith is the foundation of worship. Faithfully worshipping God means trusting and obeying Him that He will make things good on His promises, even when that fulfilment is yet "unseen" to us. 

Have you been in a situation where you know that the good things in your life were gifts from God’s hand and you know what God's instructions and words are, but somehow you doubt what God has promised because if you follow it, your comfortable life will get compromised thus in the end you would not listen and lead on your own terms. But faith is formed and fed by the Word of God, and we must let our minds and hearts be shaped by what God has said. Since we believe in His word, we are able to trust Him and obey Him.

We can not come to God on our own terms. We must remember that the way to God is to come to Him by faith. Abel believed what God said. He did not rest on his own opinion. He put his offering on the altar and trusting God, and God honoured His obedience. So the next time you worship God by offering, remember to give in Faith and to trust the fulfilment of His promises even though it seems distant.
