A Work Of Faith

Apostle Grace Lubega

James 2:21-22(KJV); Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Faith has works. One such work is the killing of the seed on the altar.

Understand that these are not works of the law. No flesh can be justified by the works of the law (Galatians 2:16).

Why then do the works in our theme scripture justify? It is because they were works of faith.

Death on the altar is a work of faith.

This means that there are things in this life that you will do that will get the attention of heaven; that will affirm God’s desire to use you.

There is a kind of spirit and mind that God is seeking for. There is a specific nature of men and women he wants to pour his spirit through; that He wants to establish His purposes through.

In Romans 12:1, He says, present your bodies as living sacrifices. The end of this is that you may prove the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

The purposes and the will of God find expression in men that have lost their lives at the altar of the gospel. He uses dead men.

Do you want to be used of God? Get on the altar. Be ready to count all things as loss, even your very life, for the sake of Christ.

God’s name be praised!

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this day. Thank you for the blueprint of my life, the race I must run and the course I must follow. I present my body as a living sacrifice, I set my heart on the altar that you deal with me in ways that only you can. Use me for your eternal glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
