In a world filled with challenges, many believers struggle to understand why their faith seems ineffective. The question remains: Why do some Christians experience consistent breakthroughs while others remain stuck in cycles of defeat? Addressing this critical issue in a powerful teaching titled *”If We Want to Have a Faith That Works, We Must Be Ready to Seek Knowledge and Learn the Word of God, Rev. Mrs. Eurica Edem Armstrong delivered a life-changing message that has since sparked a spiritual awakening among believers.
Speaking to a packed congregation at a recent worship service, Rev. Mrs. Armstrong emphasized that faith is not just a feeling or a hopeful wish -it is a force that must be built on the solid foundation of God’s word. “Many people claim to have faith, but if that faith is not rooted in divine knowledge, it remains powerless,” she declared. Drawing from *Hosea 46 4:6—”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”—she explained that ignorance of Scripture is one of the greatest hindrances to a victorious Christian life.
Faith without knowledge leads to frustration
Rev. Mrs. Armstrong illustrated her message with a striking analogy: “Imagine a farmer who sows seeds but never waters or tends to them. Can he expect a harvest? In the same way, many believers pray and confess Scriptures, yet they do not invest time in studying and understanding God’s Word. Without knowledge, faith lacks the substance needed to produce results.”
She further referenced Romans 10:17, which states, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” “If your faith is weak or unproductive,” she said, “it is because your exposure to the Word is limited. You cannot have a faith that works if you do not consistently feed your spirit with divine truth.”
The Role of Diligent Study in Activating Faith
One of the most compelling parts of her message was the emphasis on intentional Bible Study “Faith that works does not come by chance; it comes by choice,” she asserted. “You must be willing to sit down, open your Bible, and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you. The more you know God’s promises, the more confident you become in praying and standing firm in difficult times.”
She shared testimonies of individuals who transformed their lives simply by committing to daily Scripture meditation. *”One sister had been believing God for a financial breakthrough for years, but nothing changed until she began studying what the Bible says about prosperity. When she applied those principles, her situation shifted within months.”
Practical Steps to Developing a Working Faith
Rev. Mrs. Armstrong did not just leave her listeners with theory—she provided actionable steps to cultivate a faith that produces results:
– Prioritize Daily Bible Study – “You cannot grow in faith without consistent engagement with God’s Word. Set aside time each day to read, meditate, and confess Scriptures.”
– Seek Understanding, Not jsut Information – “Don’t just skim through chapters. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal deep truths to you. Knowledge without understanding leads to pride, but revelation brings transformation.”
– Apply The Word In Practical Ways– “If you read about healing, start declaring it over your body. If you study financial principles, begin practicing godly stewardship. Faith without corresponding action is dead.”
– Surround Yourself With Sound Teaching – “Attend Bible studies, listen to anointed messages, and engage in discussions that deepen your spiritual insight.”
A Call To Spiritual Discipline
In her closing remarks, Rev. Mrs. Armstrong issued a stirring challenge: “If you are tired of powerless prayers and unanswered requests, then it’s time to change your approach. God’s Word is alive and powerful, but you must engage with it intentionally. A faith that works is not for a select few—it is available to every believer who is willing to seek knowledge and apply it.”
The impact of this message has been profound, with many testifying of renewed zeal for Scripture and tangible breakthroughs after applying these principles. As believers continue to share and discuss this teaching, one truth remains clear: Faith without knowledge is like a car without fuel -it may look good, but it won’t take you anywhere.
For those seeking a faith that truly works, the path is clear-dig into God’s Word, seek understanding, and watch your faith move mountains.
