HEBREWS 11:7-20.
An expression of unbelief commonly heard from doubters and scorners is \”Seeing is believing.\” Unfortunately too, there are some Christians who operate by this principle of \’Seeing is Believing\’ which is a sign of \”UNBELIEF\”.
The expression simply means that one will not believe until one has seen the thing happened. Those who wait to see before they believe miss a lot of blessings that comes from God.
Faith accepts and acts on the word of God. It does not wait to see, like the doubting Thomas who wants to see the holes in Jesus palm which shows where the nails passes through before he believes that the person standing in their mist was Jesus Christ. (John 20:26-29).
The obedient of Noah spur him into action of building the ark according to God\’s specifications without waiting to see any sign showing the droppings of rain is acting by faith. God had warned Noah of the coming judgement upon the world through the flood and instructed him to build an ark that will be the means of his salvation and others who will believe. Noah immediately swang into action (Genesis6:12-22)
It is important to note that Noah had no previous example or precedent to rely on. This is rare faith!
If you wait to see before you believe, it may be dangerously too late for you! Those who waited to see before they believed Noah\’s message of the coming flood never had the chance to escape the deluge. Similarly, those who want to wait to see before they believe in the reality of heaven and hell and the coming final judgement will eternally regret their unbelief.
God works by faith and honours those who have strong persuasion on His word and promises before they see it happen in their lives. One thing we have to be certain about is the fact that God cannot lie. Whatever He says, He will surely do. Once He has made a proclamation concerning your life, you can be sure that it will be as He has said. You don\’t need to wait to see it happen before you believe and start acting on His words because God\’s words are Yea and Amen.
One thing you should know about Faith is that it trembles at the warnings of God because it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God. It also help us when ever you want to do anything whether is of good or bad, it will aid you to view that thing clearly, if is not God is not Faith.
May the Lord Almighty let the fruit of obedience of faith multiply in the life of every Christain in Jesus Mighty Name I Pray 🙏 Happy Sunday & Enjoy A Pleasant Week Ahead.

Sound words! We walk by faith and not by sight. Therefore, “seeing is believing” should never be in the vocabulary of a Christian. Thank you and blessings to you.
