And what shall I more say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak and of Sampson and of Jephthae of David also and Samuel and of the prophets who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions, Hebrews 11:32-33
When we read of the annals of faith in Hebrews 11 there are a few things we notice about what was achieved and just who achieved it that can be of some benefit to us in our walk of faith.
Firstly, from the list provided in the entire chapter we notice a wide variety of people operating in and benefiting from this thing called faith. From kings and prophets to Shepherd boys and prostitutes. This lineup proves that the great testimonies of faith is not just restricted to a select few but anyone at all can walk in it. In our time, it is not just limited to great pastors and apostles alone but we can all possess such testimonies regardless of status. Indeed God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34)
The second thing we notice is a wide variety of feats achieved by these people; from stopping the mouths of lions to simply offering a more excellent sacrifice. The church this day has limited the relevance of faith only to a few areas; such as healing, wealth and salvation. For this reason many believers may not see the need to apply faith to their lives yet this shouldn't be the case. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "for we walk by faith and not by sight."
When we apply faith to our everyday activities we begin to live a life abounding in testimonies so that our names are also recorded in heavens hall of faith.
LIFE APPLICATION
Begin to apply faith in all your activities, doing them as unto God and not unto man.
PRAYER
Lord, help me walk in faith in everything I do.
