NO FAITH, LITTLE FAITH AND WEAK FAITH “……..And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have NO FAITH?.....”Mk. 4:40 “…….And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of LITTLE FAITH, wherefore didst thou doubt?....” Matt. 14:31 “….. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarahs womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God…..” Rom. 4:19-20 Whatever you do in the kingdom you sure won’t do well with NO faith, LITTLE faith or WEAK faith. Whatever you are going through or want to accomplish in life, it is your faith that will get you out or provide the resources to get things done for you. In the kingdom we live and thrive by faith only. Nothing works in the kingdom without faith. Why do you think the bible says it is impossible to please God without faith? Why the word IMPOSSIBLE? Simply because everything in the kingdom is powered by faith. Be it loving, giving, prayer, evangelism or walking in the spirit…etc they are all run by faith. It takes faith to love a God whom you have not seen or someone who offends you daily or to forgive a neighbor or a friend who is unrepentant not to talk of loving your enemies as commanded by the scripture. Without faith, prayer does not get a response, neither can you give faithfully, walk in the Spirit or do anything successfully in the kingdom. Knowing the enemy will spare no attack or trick in order to destroy your faith you must always examine yourself daily to ensure you are still walking in and by faith. (2Cor.13:5, Luke 22:31, 1 Thes. 3:5). NO FAITH, LITTLE FAITH OR WEAK FAITH are not good for you because they will always crumble before oppositions, trials, troubles, symptoms or crisis. They are no match for the enemy’s game or ferocious attack. Beloved, you will always need a GREAT and STRONG FAITH. NO FAITH implies absolute lack in the Word. It is evident by lack of trust in the Lord. The major symptom of no faith is FEAR before oppositions or troubles. Jesus asked them“……why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith…..” LITTLE FAITH is lacking enough Word and the symptom of that is DOUBT arising when faced with challenges or crisis. Beloved, like the Syrophonecian woman of Mathew I5 who was credited with GREAT FAITH, you also can add to your faith. Learn to listen and listen to messages or the Word until faith arises or comes to you. You must surround yourself with faith-filled messages daily in order to build a great faith. (Rom 10:17). Besides the operation of the gift of faith which happens occasionally by the special or unique manifestation of the Holy Ghost, there is no other way to increase in faith or build a great faith other than listening and listening to the Word of God. Your life and spiritual development must be based on crucial investment in buying and listening to faith- filled messages and books only. Faith grows by hearing and hearing by the Word of God……..( to be continued) May you find the grace and resources to build your faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
