*_Faith in Action: Believing Beyond What You See_*


Have you ever found yourself in a season where it seems like God's presence or activity is invisible to your eyes? In those moments of uncertainty, remember this: just because you can't see, does not mean that God is not at work in your life.


The Bible reassures us of God's continuous and unseen work on our behalf. *"For we walk by faith, not by sight."* (2 Cor 5:7). Our journey as believers is characterized by faith—a deep trust in God's sovereignty and goodness, even when His workings are not readily apparent.


Consider the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. Sold into slavery by his brothers and unjustly imprisoned, Joseph's circumstances seemed bleak and devoid of God's intervention. Yet, in the unseen background, God was orchestrating events to fulfill His purpose. *"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive."* (Gen 50:20). What appeared as setbacks were stepping stones in God's divine plan.


Similarly, the life of Job exemplifies unwavering faith in the midst of unseen trials. *"Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him."* (Job 13:15). Despite Job's afflictions and losses, he maintained trust in God's character and sovereignty, believing that God's purposes extended beyond what his eyes could perceive.


The ultimate demonstration of God's unseen work is found in the redemption through Jesus Christ. *"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."* (John 3:16). Through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, God accomplished the greatest work of salvation, reconciling humanity to Himself through unseen divine love.


Let us anchor our faith in the assurance that God is actively working behind the scenes, even when we cannot discern His movements. *"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."* (Heb 11:1).


Believe that God's invisible hand is at work in your life, orchestrating circumstances for your ultimate good and His glory.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
