FAITH COMES IN THE WORD.

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 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.
