A Lack A Faith

Matthew 19:16-30 - “The Rich Young Ruler”

He met Jesus and asked about what good thing he must do to inherit eternal life.
Jesus told him to obey the commandments and then He listed the commandments.
He told Jesus that he had kept them all.
Jesus then instructed him to sell all he had and follow Him.
The young man went away sad because He had great wealth.
I propose to you that a lack of faith was His downfall.
I further purpose that he could have been one of Jesus disciple but missed his destiny.
His lack of faith and confidence to the “sound of faith” he was hearing to follow Jesus caused him to miss his destiny.
Hebrews 11:6 – God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
This young man needed faith, commitment, focus, and diligence to follow Jesus.
He was not really set on fulfilling His goal of obtaining eternal life.
Eternal life was only a sideline issue for him; it was not his main objective.
He missed out on the greatest opportunity of a lifetime, to become one of Jesus’ disciples and to go from a nameless young man to a man who would be spoken about for centuries.

Where are you in your faith walk? Are you in faith or out of faith?
1. Are you doing what God told you to do?
2. Are you fulfilling the assignment He gave for your life?
3. Are you living in obedience to His Word and to the revelation He has given you?
4. Are you sticking with the plan Jesus asked you to execute?

Do not allow the devil to cause you to pack your bags and move from your faith address.

Make your location in life the place where you faith lives.

This location is where you will experience God’s Blessings.


What is the level of your faith?
