Avoiding The Tragedy Of Faith Failure

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. – Luke 22:31-32. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Quality diet of the Word builds your faith and prevents every form of faith failure.

Apostle Paul defined faith as, ‘The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ (Hebrews 11:1). It is belief in and devotion to God. Faith is central to the Christian journey. That is why Habakkuk 2:4 says, ‘...The just shall live by his faith.’ However, some people tend to compromise and abandon their faith in the face of  confrontations and trials of life. This is faith failure. It is when one’s faith loses the capacity to deliver or save them in trying moments. This is similar to organ failure. For instance, when the heart fails, it comes to a point where it’s not able to meet the needs of the body. The person will have difficulty breathing after climbing staircase. This condition is called dyspnea, and it refers to sudden and severe shortness of breath, or difficulty in breathing.

Faith failure is even worse than this condition of heart failure because when a person’s faith fails, it has lost the capacity to administer his destiny. And when a destiny is no longer under the cover of faith, it is at the mercy of circumstances and at this point, anything can happen. The loss of faith, therefore, is the ruin of destiny. Now, what do you do in order to avoid the tragedy faith failure? You have to be determined to grow your faith. And why is it important to grow your faith? 

i) You grow your faith so as not to be wasted in life.
ii) You grow your faith so that your faith does not lose the capacity to administer your destiny.
iii) You grow your faith so that your life is not left to fate, because if you are not living by faith, you are left to fate.

Having seen the necessity of growing your faith, the question now is how do you grow or build your faith in order to avoid faith failure? It is by quality nutrition or feeding. For instance, athletes and body builders take quality nutrition in order to enhance their stamina. Quality physical nutrition therefore enhances quality physical health and stamina. In the same manner, quality diet of the Word builds your faith and prevents every form of failure.

Beloved, the Word of God contains quality nutrients for the growth and stability of your faith. If you want faith that is large, eat Word that is large. And as you feed on the Word from today, I decree that your faith shall grow to another level in the Name of Jesus Christ.

ASSIGNMENT (S): 1. Prevent faith failure by living on God’s Word.

PRAYER: Lord, open my eyes to behold faith building revelation that will change my life, in Jesus’ Name.
