RUGGED FAITH

One out of the divers’ dictionary meaning of rugged says that rugged means a “severely testing stamina or resolution”. According to Hebrews 11:1, faith is being defined as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. A rugged faith is a type of faith that has a lasting stamina and is resolute. It does not waver and it always conquers.

Here are some peculiar attributes of rugged faith;

1.       Rugged faith does not believe in impossibilities.

2.       Rugged faith is fearless and aggressive. 1 Sam 17:32-51

3.       Rugged faith is persistent and unrelenting. Luke 18:1-8

4.       Rugged faith has no respect for symptoms. Romans 4:18-22

5.       It does not bother how God will do it. Luke 1:34-39

6.       It confesses what it believes fearlessly

7.       A rugged faith never gives up or draws back on a deal. 2 Kings 2:1-14

The question now is: How rugged is your faith?

Keep on exercising your faith until those obstacles gives way. Faith is strong enough to handle your present and your future. Never forget what is written in Hebrews 11:6a; “But without faith it impossible to please Him (God)”. This means your heaven is shaking if you don’t have faith.

Stay Blessed and remain in Faith.
