FAITH—A LAW OF THE SPIRIT
Wednesday October 1, 2025.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6).
The Bible says without faith, it is impossible to please God. Someone might ask, “Why faith; can’t God just do things for us without us applying faith?” The answer is no because faith is a spiritual law in the Kingdom of God. Just as the law of gravity governs motion or inertia in our physical world, faith governs our activities in the spirit realm.
If you’re sitting on a chair right now, it’s because of the law of gravity, an invisible force that pulls everything toward the centre of the Earth. Without it, you’d be floating uncontrollably in the air. In the realm of the spirit, the law of faith is just as much in operation.
Romans 3:27 talks about this law of faith; it says, “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” Faith is believing in the unseen; to receive from a realm that’s invisible to the senses, and to bring spiritual realities into physical manifestation. Faith allows you to live beyond your circumstances. The earth exists within a broader spirit realm, the lesser is included in the greater.
Even if you don’t see angels around you, for instance, they’re ever present and ministering in our behalf and for our benefit. But it takes faith to recognize their spiritual reality. Divine health and healing are also from the spirit realm. God has already given you divine health; it’s a product of eternal life. But it won’t become your experience until you shift from natural thinking to spiritual understanding through faith. So, walk in faith. See with the eyes of your spirit. Speak from the realm of truth. Live by the law of faith.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the law of faith by which I live and walk in your power and blessings. I live in the consciousness of your Word and spiritual realities. I walk in health, strength, abundance, victory and dominion; I’m full of the Spirit. My life is upward and forward only, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
