For We Walk By Faith. 

“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Walk” is, ‘peripateō’ (G4043) which means, “To make one's way, to progress, to make due use of opportunities, to live, to regulate one's life, to conduct one's self.” Choose to walk by faith. Choose to progress by faith. Choose to regulate your life by faith. Choose to advance by faith. Choose to steward your God-given opportunities by faith. The Amplified Version puts it this way, ‬‬“For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭AMPC. 

Surrender your career over to God. Surrender your plans over to God. Surrender your dreams over to God. Surrender your education over to God. Submit your resources and businesses over to God. Surrender your heart over to God. Submit every aspect of your life over to God. Place your hope and confidence in Christ. As Christians, or “Christ followers”, we choose to surrender our will to His will. When you surrender to the Word of God, you’re choosing to lay down your cares, worries, and concerns — you’re choosing to pattern your life after Christ. 

Surrender to God and steward the opportunities, platforms, and resources that He has given you. Execute in faith and know that God will lead and direct your path. Promotion is in God’s hand but execution is in yours. God has given you the ability to walk. It’s time to walk by faith, and not by sight. Walk out that vision. Take the first step. Step into purpose. Let God lead you each day. Let God lead each moment. Faith is a choice. Execution is a decision. Diligence is a choice. Discipline is up to you. Choose to take the first step. Take a step out on faith and choose to rely on God. 

Choose to submit to His voice and launch that business. Launch that ministry. Launch that witty idea. Build that school. Go back to school. Release that book. Raise that family. It’s time to walk. Put your faith into action. Take one step forward. Put one step in front of the other and execute. 

It’s time to execute on that vision. God has given you the ability to walk. Choose to walk out the vision that God has given you. God gave you the vision — He gave you the vision. God trusts you — now choose to trust in God. Trust in God’s ability to work through you. Trust in God — He did not make a mistake. He gave the vision to you. Trust that God will give you the strength to accomplish what He has sent to you do.

God wants to use you mightily, but you have to trust Him. The vision that He’s given you is not just for you, but it’s to feed others through you. Your obedience ministers to others. Your faith ministers to others. Surrender to God and let God use you. Let God minister through you. Choose to walk by faith and take the first step.
