The Unfeigned Faith

Text:  2 Timothy 1:5(KJV)

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also

Friends, there is a generational faith when built up, it can sustain even children yet unborn. This is a sincere and deep faith by His word which draws one into absolute obedience to the will of God. It is a faith that is rooted with genuine heart without any form of hypocrisy. Hence, it is a true heart trust that plays from family front and not just a religious routine as it flows daily. James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. So, Apostle Paul acknowledged that whenever he remembers Timothy, he is persuaded that he cannot be distracted because the same faith that was in his grandmother - Lois and mother – Eunice, he is convinced that it is in Timothy also. Let’s remember that he has been grounded by his root.

Amazingly, there is a pattern of faith that Paul saw in Timothy. So, the unfeigned faith is wholehearted and transparent with confidence in God. Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.  Hence it is a genuine faith, not forced, nor faked because it shows in conduct, choices and decisions. Like, Abraham staggered not at God's promise. Also, David, Job, etc. was consistent in their confidence in God. I pray we shall not live in pretense, pride, but follow honesty with God today and our family faith shall remain in JESUS name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Oh Lord help us to cultivate real faith that is not based on religious habits but that which is evident both in the private and in the public in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to live a legacy of faith to your family.
