Faith Forward: Moving Deeper into Divine Purpose

Faith and wisdom are two dominant factors that can bring prosperity, abundance, and breakthroughs in our lives. In the year 2023, those who step out in faith and combine it with godly wisdom will experience unprecedented blessings and rewards. On the other HAND, fear and ignorance can hinder us from achieving our true potential.

In the biblical story of the lepers in Second Kings chapter seven, we see faith in action. These four lepers, isolated outside the gates of Samaria during a great famine, chose to rise up and take action. They believed that stepping out in faith and surrendering to the Syrian army might lead to their survival. Little did they know that God had a different plan.

When they rose up at twilight to go to the Syrian Camp, divine intervention took place. The Lord caused the Syrian army to hear the noise of chariots and horses, creating the illusion of a great army coming against them. In a state of panic, the Syrian army fled, leaving their camp intact. The lepers, driven by faith and hunger, entered the camp and found an abundance of food, silver, gold, and clothing. They ate, drank, and took what they needed, leaving the camp behind.

This story teaches us several biblical principles that establish the kind of faith that pushes us forward into divine destiny, purpose, and rewards.

Principle 1: Faith that Stems from trials Faith that pushes us forward often emerges from trials that attempt to hold us back. The lepers' desperate situation compelled them to seek a way out and take action. Remember, trials authenticate and prove our faith.

Principle 2: Faith-filled words Faith that pushes us forward resides in faith-filled words that are spoken. The lepers spoke words of possibility, acknowledging their dire circumstances and exploring alternatives. They dared to believe that surrendering to the enemy might be their path to survival.

Principle 3: Exploring all possibilities Faith that pushes us forward requires us to explore all possibilities and take the limits off God. The lepers stepped out in faith, not knowing what would await them at the Syrian camp. They were willing to embrace the impossible and trust in God's provision.

Principle 4: Corresponding actions to our beliefs Faith that pushes us forward requires corresponding actions to what we believe. The lepers rose up at twilight and moved towards the camp, demonstrating their faith in action. Our actions must align with our words and beliefs to activate God's intervention.

Principle 5: Faith that attracts divine intervention Faith that pushes us forward attracts divine intervention. When the lepers demonstrated their faith through action, God intervened and caused the Syrian army to flee. Stepping out in faith activates God's power and invites His intervention in our lives.

It is important to note that our faith moves God. When we rise up in faith, God moves on our behalf. We must not wait for God to move first but take the first step, knowing that He will meet us along the way. Faith without corresponding action is dead; we must act upon our beliefs for our faith to be effective.

As we step out in faith in this year of 2023, we can trust that God will move mightily. Our faith will put the enemy on the run, leaving everything intact. Divine intervention will occur, restoring what was lost and bringing about miraculous results. We must remember that God's ways are higher than ours, and He already knows the thoughts He has towards us—thoughts of good and not of evil.

In conclusion, faith forward is the key to moving deeper into divine purpose and experiencing God's rewards. We must combine faith with godly wisdom and overcome fear and ignorance. The story of the lepers reminds us that when we rise up in faith, divine intervention becomes a reality. Let us step out boldly, explore all possibilities, and trust in God's provision. As we do so, we will witness God's power, receive abundance, and fulfill our divine destiny.
