Facts About Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Heb 11:1,3

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To build your faith, you need ‘revelational’ nutrition and spiritual exercise. Continue...

There are certain facts that you need to know about faith and they are;

1. Faith is not a gamble or an experiment; it is concretised confidence in the Word of God that provokes action. When someone says, ‘They said that if I praise God I will experience the Presence of God; let me praise Him and see if I will experience His Presence.’ That is not faith. Faith is not what you do to test God; it is what you do to confirm that you believe God. Faith actions are actions that confirm that you believe and not doubt.

2. Faith is in levels and it grows. From the Scripture, we know that there is a level of no faith, little faith and great faith. At different times Jesus said, ‘O woman, great is thy faith’ (Matt. 15:28). ‘Oh ye of little faith,’ (Matt. 8:26), and ‘How is it that you have no faith?’ (Mark 4:40). 2 Thessalonians 1:3 talks about the growth of faith. It says, ‘We are bound to thank God always for you…, because that your faith groweth exceedingly'. Just like it takes solid nutrition and concrete exercises to build the body, to build your faith, you need revelational nutrition and spiritual exercise. You need to feed on the Word of God which is the food of faith (Romans 10:17). When you feed on revelation, you put your faith to work by doing what God says you should do consistently, not occasionally, then you will become a giant in faith.

Beloved, don’t ever be discouraged because your faith is at a low level now. Keep on growing your faith. The time will come when you will be happy that you did.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Ask God to give you the grace to build your faith.

PRAYER: Father, my faith can never remain at this same level. I receive the grace to build my faith, in Jesus’ Name.
