GROW YOUR FAITH

“….according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith”   Romans 12:3

LIGHT FOR THE NOW:  Faith is the basis of our Christian walk.

As believers, we walk not by sight but by faith (2Corinthians 5:7). The Bible clearly emphasizes that without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrew 11:6). There is Christian without faith as we have all received the same measure of faith. You only need to grow your measure of faith. The Scripture reveals how we can grow great and effectual faith. First, you have to stay continually in the Word; the Word stirs faith in your spirit. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). The more you hear God’s Word, the more faith you will have. The less of God’s Word you hear, the less faith you will have. The less of God’s word you receive into your spirit, the less faith you will be able to express when you are faced with the challenges of life.

Your faith is also built as you consistently attend church services and fellowship with other believers (Hebrews 10:25). In church, you are taught the Word and also enjoy the rich fellowship of the Spirit in a way that energizes your faith. The scriptures admonishes that we neglect not the fellowship of the brethren. You can also grow your faith by constantly meditating on, and putting the Word to work in your life.

Acting on the Word is faith expressed, and our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Faith that is not expressed is faith that will not prevail. Faith must always come with a corresponding action. “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26). You must always express your faith in words and in actions. Stop complaining or crying over that situation; act on the Word! Use your faith. Jesus said if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can tell a mountain to move and it will obey you. The faith you have is enough. Do something with it. Use your faith. It is the currency for whatever you desire.

INSTRUCTION: Grow your faith by putting the faith you have into use.

PRAYER: Father, I receive eternal life and I have life in abundance, in Jesus name.

QUOTE: Faith is the currency you use to purchase in the realm of the spirit.
