Faith is paramount to the success and growth of every Believer in Christ Jesus. This is because without faith in God, we cannot receive any good thing from God, or walk victoriously over the powers of the enemy, and life on the earth in general. Hebrews 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”.
There are different levels of faith, ranging from little to strong or matured faith. Our faith is influenced by how much we believe God, His word and promises, the Finished Work of Jesus Christ, mercy and grace. Therefore, we must endeavour to increase our faith in order to accomplish the works that Jesus did, and reign victoriously and triumphantly in life. Romans 12:3, “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith”.
Matthew 17:20, “He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” This scriptural verse, demonstrates to us that strong faith is not necessarily large faith, but faith that is strongly dependent on the word of God. When your faith is strong, you will be able to exercise courage through God’s word despite of fears.
