Growing Your Faith

BY: JUDAH OLATUNDE

2 Thessalonians  1:3  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

Luke  17:6  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.

From 2 Thessalonians 1:3, we could see that faith is a living force that has the capacity to grow and from Luke 17:6, it is evident that, your little faith can remove or take care of an obstacle as strong and rooted as a mountain.

The best way to grow your faith apart from studying the Word and praying in the Holy Ghost is to engage what you call 'little faith'. That faith you call little can suddenly shift into greater level when you put it to work.

There is something about taking steps in faith no matter how small. When you take steps in faith and you end up seeing the results, it boost your faith and makes it rise into a new dimension entirely.
If David never engaged his faith in the pursuit of the lion and the bear, he wouldn't have had enough faith to dare Goliath.

He engaged his faith in the past and it worked out and it was on the strength of that, he got an assurance that if a lion and a bear could be brought down yesterday, this Goliath too can be brought down too.

Imagine if he never engaged his faith to go after the lion and the bear, he would never have had the sufficient strength to face Goliath.

*Insights For Today: Your faith can grow if only you're willing to engage yourself with the word of God.*

*Prayer: Father, I thank you for your word to me today. Help me Lord to build my faith and as I engage in the word by faith, let me see mountains move in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
