| MEASURE OF FAITH |

Memorise: “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith” (Romans 12:6). Read: Romans 12:3-6

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). In this verse, faith is described as grains that is served in measures. Every believer receives faith in one measure or another. You already have your measure of faith and I have mine. How faith is rationed from one believer to another is left to the Lord. Do not grumble over your measure. Rise and use if for exploits and the Lord will honour it. One effective way to increase your faith besides hearing God’s word and testimonies is by applying your faith. If you keep learning how to teach and never teach one day, you can never become a teacher. If you read all about faith without putting it to work, your faith will never grow. But the more you exercise your faith over various situations, the more its muscles are built to handle tougher tasks. Each challenge conquered by faith serves as the push needed for greater future victories.  “To another faith by the same Spirit, to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; (1 Corinthians 12:9). The gift of faith is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is a supernatural operation of faith at a limitless level. By this type of faith, you may not have to grow step by step in faith but rise suddenly to the heights of faith. Through it, mountains of all sorts can be moved. Ask God to give you this gift today. When you refuse to believe until you sight the physical result, you are operating on a below zero faith level. Your faith is termed faithless faith. Such faith is reading in the negative. Such people will rationalize their – 0% faith by saying, ‘Seeing is believing’. Thomas could not believe Jesus had resurrected until he put his fingers through His nail- pierced hands (John 20:27). When your faith progresses from one level of faith until it graduates into gift of faith, then you have, ‘all faith’ (1 Corinthians 13:2). Unbelievers have dead faith but when born again, it becomes living faith. Those who trust in fellow men have disappointment faith. Which faith are you operating? Upgrade today. |
