RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 18TH MARCH 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: EXERCISE YOUR FAITH.

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1Kings 18: 21.

Many believers had said at one point or the other, I wish I had great faith?. But faith is like a muscle, which must be exercised in order to become strong.

Faith is actually a process that involves increasing degrees of trust throughout life. Weak faith hopes that God will do what He says, but strong faith knows He is faithful to accomplish all He says He will do. Elijah was a man of great faith. He saw increased challenges as opportunities for God to do His work and the prophet believed Him for the supernatural. So can you.

The Lord may not do every miraculous thing you ask of Him, but He does some extraordinary work in and through each person who is obedient and willing to trust in Him. You may be thinking, I am not good enough for the Father to use me. The Scriptures are filled with examples of flawed people whom the Lord used to achieve His purposes. What He?s looking for is any individual willing to believe in Him. He doesn?t simply work through people of faith; He transforms them.

Start by reading God's Word to learn what He wants you to do. Each day's situations and needs are opportunities to trust Him. Ask the lord to bring to mind verses that apply to your circumstances. Trust Him and do what He says, your faith muscles will grow, and He will be glorified.
