I recently had a conversation with a friend who said, “I used to think you had a fortune in the bank. How do you make things happen?” I replied, “It’s by faith, sir!” We shared some faith-filled stories, and he left encouraged, saying, “I’m unleashing my faith too!” I cheered him on.
Friend, progress in the kingdom is by faith. With God, all things are possible, and all things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23, 10:27). The poorest person is not the one without money, but the one without faith (James 2:5).
Faith is the currency of the kingdom (Matthew 17:20). Some things won’t have a price tag, but ensure you have faith for them. Just as you save money for projects, “save” your faith for God’s plans. Faith grows when used, not stored (Luke 17:5-6). As your faith grows, your life expands.
The biggest attack in the world is not a terrorist attack; it is a faith attack. Failure only comes when faith fails (Luke 22:31-32). That’s why men of destiny protect their faith, do away with faith-killing relationships, and surround themselves with faith-boosting environments.
God designed life to be lived by faith (Habakkuk 2:4). Faith levels the playing field, giving you what money cannot. God made the poor rich in faith, making them heirs of the kingdom (James 2:5). Faith is not optional; it’s our lifeline. Whatever is not done in faith is a sin (Romans 14:23).
Faith bridges the gap between desire and reality. It’s time to dare the impossible (Matthew 14:28-29). What has been impossible for you? Go for it! Apply for that job, start that business, enrol in that course. Bite more than you can chew, so God can help you chew it (John 2:5). Put your faith to work!
