1. For many people, faith is a kind of audacity and that's where it ends for them. However, faith is beyond a force or audacity, it's a lifestyle. It's a way of living, thinking and acting. It comes through in the things that you do and your outlook
on life.
2. "And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you." - Luke 17: 5-6 (KJV)
3. Living by faith aligns your actions & thoughts to the word of God. It's rooted in forgiveness & love. You may want to exercise big faith like healing the sick & working miracles but the greatest measure of faith is in daily living-trusting completely in God's word & His love.
4. Leverage faith to start believing God to be a better spouse, parent, boss, neighbor,
employee, etc. That's the kind of faith God
wants from you - faith as a lifestyle.
5. Confession:
I choose to live a lifestyle of faith as I align my life to God's will in every aspect.

1. Hello and Welcome! It’s episode 334 of #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr & Mrs Better Half is designed to strengthen marriages & relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word. Image
2. This week, a single man has this situation to contend with- “My girlfriend just told me she wants to be a housewife. Should I break up with her?” #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. First of all, there’s a preconceived notion that housewives or house-husbands as the case may be are underutilized, unintelligent and unambitious. This is not necessarily so. #MrMrsBetterHalf

1. The Ways of God- Moses knew the ways of God while the Israelites knew His acts. What's the difference? Understanding the ways of God means knowing who He is - how He works, thinks and what He wants to do.
2. Knowing God's acts is limited to just seeing what He does without necessarily
understanding how or why.

"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel." - Psalm 103:7 (NKJV)
3. One of the implications of focusing on God's acts instead of His ways is that your faith in God is likely to be transactional (the small picture) & not relational (the big picture). It might have been okay for an Israelite in the time of Moses to be content with just knowing

1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” - Hebrews 11: 1 (KJV) Many times, we get carried away with needs, the funny thing is that there is always a need for every season. Human beings can never run out of needs.
2. This is why it is important to have a wholesome perspective of God as your Father and Friend, not just as a provider. God is keen on blessing His children and He wants to meet all your needs.
3. He desires more for you and expects that your relationship with Him should be less transactional and more relational.

God wants to relate with you and let you have access to know the deepest parts of Him. Instead of getting overtaken by needs,

1. Can faith fail? "Whoever doesn't lose his faith in me is indeed blessed.” - Matthew 11:6 (GW) Faith is a one-time decision and is more than a blind act of trust. Satan desires to sift believers by causing their faith to waver and eventually fail in overwhelming situations.
2. Understand & remember that being in an overwhelming situation doesn't necessarily mean that you've lost your identity as God's own. In moments of doubt, the gift of faith is often challenged. You may conclude that you didn't receive faith, apply it correctly or that it failed.
3. This could have everything to do with God knowing what is best for you. Though you might have challenging times where your faith is tested, set your mind on Jesus who is the author and the finisher of your faith.

1. At its core, the Bible is about relationships- how our Father connects & relates with us & how in turn expects us to relate with each other. Relationships are life & need to be maintained. However, sometimes we use the "too busy" card to avoid keeping up with our connections.
2. Other times, life challenges cause us to
self-focus and expect everyone else to
make the effort to reach out. Some of us
have even become complacent because of
the lockdown, assuming our loved ones
are okay without really interacting with
them.
3. When you don't make an effort to
connect, your relation'ships' will start to
sink or, in some cases, capsize.
You were created with love, by love, to
love and God needs you to be love' to the
people He sends your way.

1. Proof of sonship! When it's career day in schools, kids turn up dressed as footballers, police officers, sailors, scientists, lawyers, astronauts, etc. It is easy to identify the profession they
represent based on their outfit.
2. Similarly, many claim to be God's children. Yet they do not don the 'garments' that stand them out from the rest, one of which is LOVE.
3. 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 (NKJV) puts it aptly - "Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, but have not love, I
have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
