Growth ln Faith
God has given a measure of seed of faith to everyone of us. Faith comes by hearing the WORD of God. Our God can communicate his WORD to us.
How can we hear that word and get that seed to grow in the soil of our lives.
Romans 10:17-“So then faith comes by hearing the word of God”.
Hearing is not a passive act of hearing the sounds, it means to act upon what has been heard .When God speaks it’s a command ; we either act on it or disobey it, we must know that disobedience hinders the growth of faith and then we wonder why it has not happened. God says “ “He that has my word, and keeps it (acts on it) he it is that loves me. We have to grow from glory to glory and from faith to faith. You can not imitate someone else’s faith. lf you act upon the word of God when it comes to you, things happen .
Love-It is essential for the growth of faith. lf you have love then faith will work by love.
Galatians 5:6 “For in Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision availeth much, but Faith which worketh by LOVE.
God speaks through ; 1)Written word .2) Spoken word.
We need to know the difference between them in order to know the ‘Hearing’ of the word of God. God still speaks today through His written word through his anointed servants, through dreams ,visions and inward assurance or circumstances.
We live not by His written word alone but by the word that still “continues to proceed out of God’s mouth. We should not reject the fact that God can speak to us through other ways than the written word (The Bible). Some say that the days of miracles are past. So they live by what God ‘SAID’ and refuse to hear what He ‘IS SAYING’. So the God of miracles are rejected there.
So prayer and fasting are the key to greater faith. Believe what you speak.lt is called “Saying Faith” or “Speaking Faith”. It is a Higher than Asking Faith”. Jesus said,
“ Varily l say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea and believe; then whatever he says, shall come to pass”.
lf you get God’s words and say them, they become life and health to you. If you repeat God’s word and walk in faith, not by sight, your faith will increase.
Rom 4:20,21-“Be strong in faith, giving glory to God, being fully persuaded that what he says he is able to perform”.
Let us stir up our faith, and make it grow by continuously practicing these principles.
HEAR ! OBEY! LOVE ! SAY !
Testimony–Whenever wherever l prayed for the people by saying the Written, Healing scriptures in faith ,they received healing. All glory to God.
Prayer : l thank you Lord for your faithfulness, love and truth because of which you heard our prayers and healed the sick. Amen.
