PARTNERING WITH THE INVISIBLE.
Faith is partnering with the invisible in the light of scriptures, usually for the accomplishment of the impossible. Speaking concerning Moses, hear what the Word of God says in Hebrews 11:24:
“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;”
Moses was in active partnership with the invisible; so he was empowered to accomplish the impossible in Egypt. As one man, he held a whole nation to ransom, and no man was able to touch him! That active partnership with God changed his status, and God said to him: See I have made you a god unto Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1). His active partnership with God empowered him to do the impossible.
Faith is not moving God to act, faith is working with God in getting things done. Just like Moses, Daniel was also in the company of the invisible and therefore accomplished the impossible. It was so with the three Hebrew boys, Shedrach, Meshach an Abednego (Daniel chapter 3 and 6). The three Hebrew boys said:
“Our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us, and he will deliver us from your hand O king…” Daniel 3:17
Active faith qualified them for active partnership with the invisible. When they were cast into the fire, the Bible says, “There was a fourth man in the fire, like the son of God” – The invisible appeared by the active faith of man. The Bible said concerning them:
“And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace”. Daniel 3:20
The men who threw them in were burnt up by the fire; but of these three boys we read in Daniel 3:27:
“And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them”.
Let’s see the king’s reaction in Daniel 3:28:
“Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God”.
Their trust in Him provoked their active partnership with the invisible, which enabled them to accomplish the impossible. The invisible had no choice but to appear on their behalf. Where God has brought our Ministry to, today, is a proof of the reality of active partnership with the invisible, for the purpose of getting the impossible done.
Your active partnership will commit God’s active involvement in the affairs of your life, and in the pursuit of your vision any day. Daniel said:
“My God has sent his angel and has stopped the mouth of the lion and they have not hurt me” (Daniel 6:22). I
t was the invisible that appeared in the den of lions on the platform of faith. I see the invisible going with you and empowering you for the impossible, from henceforth! No force from hell shall be able to devour the mandate that God has placed on your life!
It takes your active faith to qualify for active partnership with the invisible…
