Faith

A lot of us have dealt with issues of faith. Some of us might fall under one the following categories…


Little faith

Weak faith

Shipwreck faith

Wavering faith

We go to God and we ask Him to give us more faith. But I’m here to tell you that even if you feel like your faith is in one of those categories be assured that you have already been given all the faith you need. In Romans 12:3 it says…

“God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”

That scripture shows that everyone is given the same level of faith, not one more then the other. It is not that we need more faith then we have, it is that our faith needs to be developed, it’s like a muscle. Our goal is to develop our faith into the following categories…

Great faith

Full of faith

Strong faith

Sincere faith

Rich Faith

Perfect faith

World overcoming faith

Exceedingly growing faith

So you might ask, “How do I develop my faith into one of those categories?” The answer lies in the scripture below…

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17

Did you see what it said there? Faith comes by hearing. That means we must hear the Word of God. We must hear it with our ears, not see it with our eyes, but actually hear it out loud. This means that you must go to church and listen to what you Pastor is preaching. You should get the Bible on cd. Also take some time and read your Bible aloud. Make sure that you are confessing the Word! You can’t keep quiet, you can’t be content to just read the Word only, or do everything in your head. You must hear it! Get the Word into your ear-gates. As you hear the Word continually your faith will start to build. You will not go from weak faith to strong faith overnight, but if you keep hearing the Word, you will keep building, and one day you will be there. Don’t stop, don’t give up, and keep building one brick at a time. God bless!
