IF YOU HAVE FAITH AND DO NOT DOUBT

On many occasions, Jesus taught His Disciples about prayer;

He assured them that God the Father would always be there.

But Faith must also be present and it must be exercised;

But sadly, these lessons were poorly learned; they were not wise!

 

Faith is needed to believe in God for salvation;

It is needed also to trust in the Spirit’s sanctification.

Faith is needed for ministry to people;

Without faith, effective service is impossible.

 

Faith is often taken for granted, for we assume it is there;

Praying without doubt is needed if there is to be fruit anywhere.

Faith and prayer work closely in tandem in life and ministry;

One without the other would surely end up in misery.

 

The challenge to exercise faith and prayer is important to heed;

The call to cultivate both disciplines is truly pertinent indeed!

The need of the hour is to have faith and to earnestly pray;

Let us be greatly moved to seek the Lord consciously today!
