1Ti 6:12 says,
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art
also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” Someone
once said, “I am seriously praying that God will give me faith.” I almost said,
“you are wasting your time” only for the age difference which made me shut my
mouth.
Rom 12:3c
says, “According as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” The truth
is that for every believer on planet earth, we all have a certain measure of
faith, but some do not know they do have because they have failed to release it
or develop it. if a believer doesn’t develop his faith, it will be weak. If you
have never used your faith to claim healing from headache, it would be
difficult to use it claim healing from typhoid.
Weak faith is
not caused by any other thing, other than lack of knowledge of God’s words, faith
cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom 10:17). The only way to
increase your level of faith is only through the word of God. You cannot act
upon the word of God beyond the knowledge you have of it. If you do not know
that your bank gives mortgage loan, you will never be able to benefit.
If your faith
is not growing, then your understanding of the word is not growing. Do not
forget that the devil does not want your faith level to rise, as such you must
fight the good fight of faith. Keep the word of God on the inside of you. A
lack of knowledge of the word of God will give the devil easy access to put you
in bondage, because he knows you know not the truth and according to the
scripture, only the truth (the word of God) makes free.
Stop saying
you don’t have time to read the word of God, create the time. If you want to
enjoy God, you must have faith, and faith is accessible only through the word
of God.
