A certain man
weighing about 55kg decided to go for body building exercises. On his first day
in the gym, the coach decided to start him up with a 15kg weight, however, this
man felt embarrassed, saying his wife weighed almost 75kg and he carried her
almost everytime. He requested the coach started him up with atleast 50kg
weight in order to hasten his body building dream. The coach granted his wish. Sir,
this man could not even lift it more than once before begging the gym
instructor to come help take it away.
In the
scripture, faith has levels. When the disciples found it difficult to cast out
a dumb spirit out of a man’s son, Jesus called them in Mark 9:19, “O faithless
generation.” In Matt 8:26, the disciples were called, “O ye of little faith.”
Their frustration began when they heard Jesus say to the centurion in Matt 8:10
that he had great faith. in Luke 17:5, they burst out and said, “Lord, increase
our faith.”
They were
tired of seeing things happen for others while they that were of the household
of faith could not record a single act of faith. Some of us have prayed that
prayer at one point or the other in our life, yet, our faith level did not
rise. Sir, faith grows by hearing and applying the word of God. If you have
never heard from the word of God that He is Jehovah Jireh, it would be
difficult for you to trust Him to provide for you.
Many get
frustrated because they think God can be used. Hello, God is a principled God
and to enjoy Him, His principles must be followed. Bible says faith without
works is dead. Like muscles that grow bigger through use, faith grows bigger
also through application.
The moment
your faith can take care of your headache, then you would be sure it would take
care of your backache and so on. Exercise your faith and it shall grow.
