THE SIZE OF FAITH DOES NOT DICTATE ITS POTENCY



Mt 14:36: "They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed."


The potency of faith has nothing to do with its size, small or big. As long as faith is present in the heart through the word of God, it will work for us if we exercise it. We may not have access to the full knowledge of God in a day, but the piece by piece that we know about God should produce faith inside our hearts toward Him and should propel us to put faith to work. The essence of knowing God is not for our mental knowledge alone, but to build faith and confidence in God, and to help us develop a personal relationship with God. The written knowledge about God in the scriptures must be revealed into our hearts by the Spirit for the faith to be formed in our hearts, just like a fetus cannot be conceived in the womb unless intercourse has taken place and semen is released or spills from a man's organ into a woman's organ. There must be intercourse of communion between our spirit and the Spirit of God through meditation in the word of God before life from the written word can be revealed or released into our hearts for the conception of faith to take place. The revealed word is the word of life that is released into our hearts through the hearing and reading of the scriptures. There must be regular intercourse of communion with God through prayer and meditation in the word of God for the life of God that will produce faith to do exploit for God can be formed in our hearts. When faith is formed in the heart, it can be known, recognized, or perceived, just like a woman will know or perceive it the day she is pregnant. God is set to do a miraculous or uncommon thing when faith is born in our hearts, and we are expected to follow God by works to manifest it. The presence of faith in the heart enlivens, ignites, or edifices the heart. Things that you have faith in God for is what God has given to you to have or to do.

If you can have faith in God for anything, then all things are possible for you. Mark 9:23. If we can have the assurance in our hearts that we will have from God the things we hoped for, then all things are possible for us. The presence of faith in our hearts widens our visions beyond our human experiences and physical capacities. Faith sees possibilities beyond human sight and barriers. Faith does not consider obstacles but only recognizes possibilities. As we lift our eyes to God from our prayer altar we will be able to see where God has placed the provisions for our needs. God's supplies to our needs are not limited to the geographical location that we are. God can supply our needs from anywhere on the earth. And from wherever we see God's provisions for us, from there God will supply them to us. We must rise by faith and possess our possessions from wherever God has shown us. If faith is present in the heart, no mountain can stand before it. Faith in God can solve any problem and saves lives. Faith, if it is in the heart, will want to be expressed for its manifestation. No living faith wants to be locked inside without putting it to work. Faith moved the heart, mouth, and whole body to work out its manifestation. Job 32:18-20; Jeremiah 20:9. When faith is not in our heart, we should not assume that it is there. If it is not there it is not there. We should go to the word of God so that the Spirit of God can be put inside our hearts.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
