The scripture defines faith in Heb 11:1 as the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is an assurance
that even though I may not see it physically, it exists therefore I believe I have
it. Many times, I see that we have faith in the physical more than in the
metaphysical (supernatural). I know of a certainty that none of us bother to
check the chair we sit on in church because we believe and have faith in the
church that they would have checked it and if it was bad, they would have
removed it.
In Mark 11, Jesus became hungry and saw a fig tree
afar. He quickly went there to see if perhaps there would be something on it
but nothing was on it because it was not the season of figs, but Jesus went
ahead and declared the fig tree barren. By the following day, when Jesus and
His disciples were passing by that fig tree, the disciples saw that it had
dried up from the roots. The disciples were amazed. In verse 22, Jesus told
them, “Have faith in God.” Verse 23 says you will receive whatever you believe
God for – anything! Amazing!
When you act in faith, supernatural forces will
swing into action and come to your aid because faith is the ignition that
starts the vehicle of your miracle. Faith sees plenty in famine. Faith sees the
good in the bad. The disciples’ faith in Jesus by sharing five loaves of bread
and two fishes to a crowd of 5000 triggered one of the most amazing miracles in
the Bible. The centurion said only the word of Jesus was enough to heal his
servant, and the moment Jesus declared the healing, the same hour the servant got
healed.
There is nothing too hard for God to do, but He
needs your faith. Remember Jesus couldn’t do much miracles in His own country
because of their lack of faith (Matt 13:58).
Always have faith in God.
