Sometime ago, I was discussing with a dear friend when he said; “I used to look at you as someone who has a lot of money stacked in the bank. How do you get things done?” I told him; “Sir, it’s by Faith!” I went ahead to share some faith moves and testimonies with him. His heart was encouraged. He told me; “I’m releasing my faith too!” I responded; “Way to go!”
Friend, impossibility does not exist in the dictionary of God. With man, a lot of things are impossible. But with God, nothing is impossible (Mark 10:27). When a man partners with God via the channel of faith, He operates in the realm of possibilities. Faith is the currency of the kingdom. The poorest man on the earth is not the man without money but the man without faith.
There are some things you would not have money for, but make sure you have faith for them. As you save money in the bank to get projects done, ensure you are also ‘saving’ your faith to accomplish God’s plans for your life. Unlike saving money, faith is saved by using it, not by storing it (Luke 17:5-6). When you confront little projects or challenges with faith, it develops and multiplies via that use.
Faith is a seed. It must be planted in the soil of actions and watered by the word of life (Matthew 17:20). When your faith grows, your life grows. The greatest attack in the world is not a terrorist attack. It is a faith attack. You are not yet a failure until your faith fails (Luke 22:31-32). This is why men of destiny have learnt to protect their faith. They do away with relationships and activities that poison their faith. They get into environments that help in building their faith and releasing it for possibilities.
God has not planned that you live life without faith, or else a lot of things would be impossible in your life (Habakkuk 2:4). Faith is an equalizer. It would give you what money cannot give you. This is why God has made the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom (James 2:5). In the kingdom, faith is not an option. It is our life. Whatever is not done in faith is a sin (Romans 14:23). With faith, you bridge the gap between what you desire and what you experience. You move from possibility to reality.
I challenge you today to dare the impossible (Matthew 14:28-29). What is that thing that has been proving impossible in your life? Dare it! Go for that job or business. Start that project. Enrol for that course. Start that ministry. Fix your wedding date. Make that relocation. Order that product. Bite more than you can chew so that God can help you chew it. Obey the word of God and the instructions of the Holy Spirit (John 2:5). Put your faith to work and achieve the impossible! You will succeed!
