FAITH FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen – Ephesians 3:20-21

Christianity is not ordinary; it is extra-ordinary and supernatural. God is a Spirit (Jh.4:24). God is supernatural. He is not ordinary. His ways differ from the normal ways of men (Isa.55:8). The Supernatural is the foundation, nucleus and control room of all things. The natural answers to the supernatural. God made us to be supernatural and extra-ordinary. Sin brought us down to sub-normal and less than ordinary. Redemption through Christ restores us to our extra-ordinary status. To live a fulfilled life on earth, we must reconnect to the supernatural and extra-ordinary life, by faith. Faith for the extra-ordinary is vital and relevant to a life of triumph, dominion and fulfillment.

In the Kingdom of God, the extraordinary is meant to be so common as to seem ordinary. The supernatural is meant to be the norm in this Kingdom! Each Kingdom son or daughter is distinct and unique. Faith in Christ transformed the unlearned fisher lads into global fishers of men. God plans for nothing to be ordinary. If the transient lilies could convey such exquisite beauty and patterned perfection by creative Hands of the Divine Designer, how much more we who were designed in the image and likeness of God (Lk.12:27).

Faith is the fertile ground in which God grows and tenders His trees. He plants qualities in the man or woman of faith, which attract the attention and admiration of many. Little people leverage on faith in Christ to take on mighty stature. The Seemingly unassuming believers are enabled to perform beyond natural capacity: with faith “nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matt.17:20b). And also, “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, ALL THINGS are possible to him that believeth.” (Mk.9:23). Paul declared: “I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me.” (Phil.4:13). These are definitely nor ordinary, but extra-ordinary declarations.

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Dan.11:32b). Faith brings extraordinary results and rewards to seemingly ordinary service. No service amounts to anything when done outside faith. Devoid of the backing of God’s Word, any action taken is dead and profitless. It takes faith to secure any results in the Kingdom. Faith in the Word is the God’s Power at work in you. Faith is the key that unlocks the doors to the extra-ordinary and the supernatural.
