Mark 9:23 JESUS said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH.
We have stated some reasons why God seems to give more to some and few to others, and some of what we discussed was differences in abilities and capacities, differences in terms of hunger and humility or meekness. We shall be looking at another vital reason why the Lord finds it easier to given more to others while leaving some with few.
4. Faith differs:
Everyone at salvation has been given a measure of faith but whether you grow in it or not is your own choice.
For instance, if two uncompleted houses were given to two different people, one may decide to complete it while staying in that house while the other refuses to complete it. Assuming they both had the same income, one may save and complete it while the other refuses to make a budget out of his income for the completion of that house.
This is what is happening today, everyone has been given a measure of faith but have refused to develop that faith and move it into a higher level. And the scripture says, God is moved by faith and the stronger your faith the more you can receive from God.
Those with little faith won't have the confidence to ask God for big things while those with great faith can trust God for big things and receive big things because according to Mark 9:23, some will be able to believe that all things are possible while some others will believe only few things are possible and this will also affect that which you're able to receive from the Lord.
Another problem with those who have little faith make is that, they always fashion their minds in a particular way, they believe God can do something for others but are incompletely unsure if God can do that thing for them.
*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: How much you can get in life will be as a result of how much faith you have in God. You will receive more if you have more faith.*
*Prayer:Father, By your power, destroy every seed of doubt in me and give me the grace to build my faith so that I may be able to receive more from you Lord in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*.
