One man of God in our country received some foreign delegates at their ministry headquarters. After checking through the massive infrastructure, they asked; “Sir, but how did you get all these done?” He responded; “It’s by faith. Faith is the currency of the kingdom. It holds the same value anywhere in the world.” They got his message.
Friend, faith is the currency of the kingdom (Hebrews 11:1-3). It holds the same value anywhere in the world. With faith in the living God, you can produce results anywhere that God has planted you. Truly, the limit of your faith is the limit of your result. When you grow your faith, you grow your life. When you multiply your faith, you multiply your result (Mark 11:22-24).
The poorest man on earth is not the man without finance. It is the man without faith (John 6:5-6). If you are faith bankrupt, you are truly bankrupt. There are things that money cannot do, but there is nothing faith in God cannot do (Mark 9:23). When you develop your faith, you open up yourself to a world of possibilities.
One of the enemies of faith in God is human bailout (John 5:7-8). Those who depend on handouts don’t eventually make a headway in life. Faith is absolute dependency on God. If you don’t depend on God, you would depend on man (Jeremiah 17:5-8). When you make God your source, He opens up channels for you beyond your imagination.
Poor people don’t really need handouts. It may only solve their problems temporarily. What they need is the preaching and teaching of God’s word that impart faith to them (Matthew 11:4-5, James 2:5). If you are not economically buoyant and you are doing nothing about your faith in God, you have just signed up for a life of frustration (Hebrews 6:12).
You may not have the money for some things. But make sure you have faith for them (Mark 10:27, Luke 1:37). Faith is the currency for life and destiny. Invest in your faith development. Be a man of the word. Spend time in prayers. Associate with people of faith. Grow your faith by taking actions in the direction of your destiny. Remember, the just shall live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:4).
