FAITH IS NEED-FULL

“And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her” Luke 10vs38-42

Like I said in my introduction it’s obvious that the heat is getting hotter and the storm wilder on earth. Hence the only voice that any level of

When any level of storm defies every means of possible solution, faith will win cheaply.

 storm and heat will always bow to is that of faith. It is full of your needs.

As a way of proper introduction into this subject, I will want to establish that regardless of how hot the world becomes the intellect of man and improved technology will always be limited in tackling it. Only one thing is needful and that is faith beside which the chaos will defy every other possible means of solution.

Our survival on earth as the heat gets hotter is only guaranteed by this one thing, faith!

In the confectionary industry, flour is a major ingredient used in baking. Also in the constructing of structures, cement is most needful. I am only trying to drive down a point and that is the fact that as touching anything, there is always a principal ingredient or weapon used to successfully arrive at the expected end.

However, faith happens to be the principal weapon needed to conquer in every conquest of life, even as the storm gets wilder. We need faith as a shield against the vices of the devil, Ephesians 6vs16. When any level of storm defies every means of possible solution, faith will win cheaply. 1John 5vs4 says

“...this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith”

We are not trying to compare faith with victory but affirming the fact that victory is another name for faith. That is, faith is our only guarantee for victory in the face of tribulations and because Jesus had already told us in John 16vs33

“...in the world ye shall have tribulations...”

Your exception and mine is our faith.

Furthermore, faith is delivered to us by a continuous intake of God’s word, Romans

Victory is another name for faith.

10vs17. And that is exactly what Jesus was making clear to Martha in our opening text. It is of so much importance that Jesus had to call her name twice “Martha, Martha...” and not because He stammered but because the subject of faith is fundamental to hers and our survival today. Also she had been carried away by much serving and activities which looks pretty good in itself, leaving the most important behind.

Our survival on earth as the heat gets hotter is only guaranteed by this one thing, faith! “...but the just shall live by faith” Habakkuk 2vs4 that means those who lay hold any apply themselves to the principles of faith will escape being casualties of the last days tribulations.

Conclusively, I deduced what I have captured “The Fundaments of Faith” from our opening text and these I will highlight now as follows.
