Part 4 (A).
As believers, no matter the circumstances and how hard you find yourself pushing the wall, know and believe that God can rescue you. Our God is faithful to deliver His people who act on faith, even if it doesn’t happen the way you picture it. Still have faith in God by believing that He leads you in His will for your life. This is faith in action that God is pleased with and always rewards. They were put in the fiery furnace for disobeying the king’s instructions and stayed faithful to their God (not bowing to the idol of the king). Even though their lives were at risk for this, they remained firm in their faith and believed that their God would save them. God saw their faith demonstrated and rescued them to reward their boldness and belief. Faith, as tiny as a mustard seed (the slightest exhibition of positivity and trust), can move anything that stands like a mountain in your life. It is in your faith that situations that look humanly insurmountable get resolved. Your loyalty is what pleases God to move in favour (that demonstrates your trust in His power). Faith completely changes your language. You act, do and say things differently from the ordinary and the prevailing circumstances. In poverty, faith confesses riches; in joblessness, faith confesses employment. In sickness, faith confesses perfect health; in pain, faith confesses relief and joy. In darkness and gloom, faith speaks light and favour. Your faith distinguishes you.
Part (B).
“If you would prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward Him; if iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, and would not let wickedness dwell in your tents; then surely you could lift up your face without spot; yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear; because you would forget your misery and remember it as waters that have passed away, and your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning. And you would be secure because there is hope; yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.” (Job 11:13-18). How do you learn to live in God’s love so that you can live free of fear? You must surrender your heart to God every day. The Bible says in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. When you wake up each morning before your feet hit the floor, you have to say, “God, before I even start this day, I surrender my emotions to you. I want you to be Lord of my feelings. I want you to control my mind and my emotions. I surrender my heart to you. I want you to fill me with your love.”
