Faith Comes In The Word
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou
plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea;
and it should obey you (Luke 17:6).
Jesus emphasized that the smallest amount of faith
can produce great results. Someone may say, “How
am I sure I have faith, let alone little one?” The Bible says,
“…God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith”
(Romans 12:3). Notice that it says, “the measure of faith”; that
means there’s a definite measure for everybody.
We all received the same measure of faith at the new
birth, but what you do with yours is what matters; you have to
make it grow. Some have made their faith grow, some others
haven’t; they’re still living at the level of faith after many years
of being a Christian. You must exercise and grow your faith
by putting it to work.
When you think you don’t have enough faith, then you
need to hear more of God’s Word; the Word will produce
and impart faith to your spirit. You don’t have to struggle or
try to make it happen; just hear the Word, and faith will be
stirred in your spirit: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
A young man walked into church some years ago,
having been convinced by his friends to come. He came in
with so much doubt and unbelief, but as he listened to the
Word being preached, he began to have a change of heart.
When I had a chat with him after the service, he said to me,
“Somehow, I believed the things you preached.” He believed
because faith came to him in the Word.
You might have noticed sometimes, as you listen to
Faith Comes In The Word
God’s Word, maybe while in church, or on your own during
your personal study, the whole world suddenly seems small.
All the challenges you may have been facing suddenly seem
like nothing. The reason is that when the Word of God enters
your spirit, it sparks up faith in you. Every time you hear God’s
Word, your spirit is energized; the Word becomes real in your
spirit, giving you a sense of victory and dominion.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
faith that your Word bolsters in
me even now! Armed with the
Word in my heart, and in my
mouth, I surmount challenges,
change situations, work miracles,
and consistently walk in victory,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
