Faith At Work

"You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!" James 2:19 NKJV

Some people have a wrong understanding of faith. They think that faith ends at believing. That's inaccurate; because faith without works is dead. Anybody can believe, even demons believe! But faith takes a step further; it backs its beliefs with action.

Remember when Jesus turned water to wine? Mary left instructions with the servants to do whatever Jesus asked them to do. Jesus simply asked them to take some of it to the chairman and they did. Now, by the time He told them to take the water to the chairman, it wasn't looking like wine. Up till the very moment that the man tasted the water turned wine, it was still looking like water. That's how faith works; they believed, and took action without waiting for signs and confirmation, based on the words of Jesus.

A lot of us say that we have faith but we really don't. We say we believe but our actions or inactions say otherwise. For instance, you say you believe that sinners will go to hell yet you have not preached to anyone about Jesus this year! You say that all things are possible, yet all your plans are tied to the money in your bank accounts. You say that you're believing God for a new house or car, and you've not even gone to check out any. You want to travel out, but you don't even have a passport! You want a baby and you've not already began shopping! What are you waiting for? A medical report? Haven't you read Psalm 128:3 that says you're like a fruitful vine? You want a job and you've not already gotten your clothes and shoes! Come on! Where's your faith?
