‘DO NOT LOSE THE FAITH’

 

People are losing their faith, it is wavering bit by bit mainly because of our current situation.

Believe it or not but even powerful men of God are starting to lose their faith and my prayer is for God to increase our faith. Although this is not our usual prayer point for God to increase our faith, it is very strong in my heart that God may increase our faith.

[Matthew 13:31]

This verse tells us that the Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, and we know another verse that says even if we can have faith as little as a mustard seed. This seed is the least of all seeds, but yet even if you can have faith as little as the seed you can move mountains. Faith grows the more we hear the Word of God.

So although your faith can be as small as a mustard seed it still needs to grow and growth comes through hearing the Word of God. A person doesn’t have a choice as they hear the Word of God they have faith is being watered and it grows. So no one has power over the growth of faith.

Now the problem comes when your faith grows and you remain unbelieving. When you are used to a certain level and you have to stop, you will surely feel a gap of what you used to do and you do not do anymore. You will have hunger and dissatisfaction with what you no longer do.

Make sure that your faith doesn’t reduce because when it does that’s when the devil comes into your life. I read somewhere and it said the devil is not after your past because it’s not important, but he will always remind you of the past so that you can get stuck there and he attacks the future. The only thing that he will do is to attack the future meanwhile he made sure that you get stuck in the past. We need to keep the faith, we rather are on one level than going down.

A lot is happening and people are losing their faith. Reading from the book of Matthew, we realized that God has likened us to birds of the air, but how will birds find their place in you while they have a bigger faith than yours? You cannot draw anyone to your faith if your faith is lacking.

You cannot keep anyone if your faith is lacking. I have noticed that most Christians have become familiar with the Word of God. That’s why we find people who seek God, coming into the church, and having greater faith than Christians.

It is rare in this day to find a Christian believing God for a new kidney, while for someone out there they believe more than Christians. Brethren do not be too familiar with God because the more you are it is the more your faith decreases. Your faith needs to grow from one level to another, and yes we understand that your faith cannot be like your father’s faith, but you ought to strive for growth in faith. We learn from this passage that no matter how small your faith is, it surely grows as you hear the Word of God. So, be careful that it does not waver.

[Matthew 17:14]

How long should you hear the Word before your faith can grow? When Jesus said you will say to this mountain, He did not say you will pray and the mountain will move but He said you will say to this mountain move and it will move. Christians have lost the authority to speak over the situation, we tend to pray to the situation when we only have to speak and tell them to move. When you have faith even as little as a mustard seed, and you speak to the mountain, it will surely move. So if the small faith can move mountains what about when it grows or when it is grown?

The problem is that we have become too familiar with the Word of God and the presence of God. Hence when we have to speak to the mountain we pray and ask God to move mountains on our behalf. It is only because we have lost that small faith.

The faith is given, the Word is spoken it is up to us to use our faith so it grows. We should not be Christian who speaks only on Sunday because there is an atmosphere but we must carry the faith and practice it every day.

We need to be consistent, our faith should not waver even a bit, because in wavering that is where the devil comes in. So let us say to the mountain, move and it will certainly move. Hence where we are reading it says that these demons are not moved by prayer and fasting. Jesus just gave them a method on how they should do it because people love methods, and it is in a method that many fail to acknowledge God.

When your faith grows you will speak.

[Hebrews 10:19]

We do have the boldness, we have the confidence to enter the place, yet what the scripture emphasizes is that we must have faith. This shows that people can be in the presence of God without faith. It is possible to be in the presence of God without faith, that is when we see Christians becoming stagnant.

We can be in the same house yet not believe the same. We need to draw near with a true heart and hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering because He who promised is faithful.

Many have tasted the faithfulness of God and because of that, we need to become that which we have tasted.

We ought to remain there, this is not the time for us to be praying against the Coronavirus towards us, but it is the time for us to be telling the world that we knew about the coming of this virus and giving them a solution as per God’s instruction.

We should not be fighting this virus in the church among us, but we now see Christians falling because they are affected by this virus, we see judgment restarting in the house of God because Christians are falling apart. So brethren be reminded to hold fast to the confession of faith because He who started a good work is faithful and true.

God will never disappoint you and He has never. If you think that God has already done that then why are you still here? You remain because the love of God has never failed you. Hold on and refuse your faith to weaver.

Whatever you have been holding on to, continue keeping it — it will continue keeping you. Situations around us at the moment may seem otherwise but that is where the power comes because faith needs to be activated — the Bible tells us that we walk by faith, not by sight.

Do not lose your faith because the devil attacks where there is no faith and when he does, everything will tell you that salvation is not working out for you.

As you grow in faith, know that the devil is also growing where he wants to destroy you — he will not attack you based on the level that you were in but rather he will use the level that you are going in. Whatever you come across, just keep holding on to this faith and confess. Faith is your reality, it is your eyes so keep it.

[Hebrews 11:1]

A Christian life would not be worth living without faith, so if you do not have faith as a Christian, then your life is not worth living.

This message might not make sense to the world because they do not know faith but to Christians, it is a way of living because faith is worth living for as Christians.

This is what distinguishes you from the world, so the moment you live without faith, you are just pleasing the eyes of men. Keep and grow in your faith. Do not let your faith waver.

[Psalms 46:10]

Be still and know that I am God, people are barely living.

Your faith is strengthened through challenges, so it will be wrong of me to say that you must be stuck on the same level of faith, rather than dwell more in God so you can know more of Him.

By so doing, even your faith gets to grow. Hold fast your confession of hope and do not lose it.
From this day on let us wear the lenses of faith because faith is a world and we do not need to leave this place. Keep on believing.

[1 John 5:1]

Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world, for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. Meaning that it is by faith that we overcome the world and without faith we cannot. Hence we need to keep on holding on, keep the faith. By faith, we believe and we become.

[2 Corinthians 5:7]

We walk by faith not by sight, this was still mentioned faith and feet in one sentence. Now ask yourself, what are you walking by and what are you seeing with? So we walk by faith and not by sight, let us put on the lenses of faith and keep them on.

If you have never used the lenses of faith before taking this as an introduction and to those who have used them, this is your moment of growth and production.

Let your faith produce more, let the generations that are coming after you be known by faith. Every generation that came after Abraham was known by faith — It is the in-thing. Let whatever that you are building not be aligned with any human capability or strength but let it be purely God.

Let everything point to faith and you will see that your life is worth living.

Allow your spirit to lead you to this world of faith, believe in God for something new. Go back to the first faith you used when you just received your salvation because at that time you believed in everything and you knew it was possible.

So, whatever you believe in God for, go back to where you left it and believe again. Someone’s experience should not be your judgment towards God.

[2 Corinthians 4:15]

You cannot use your naked eye to look at things that are not seen. You need to be blind to the things that are seen and this should be a voluntary thing so that God can reveal to you the things that are not seen with the naked eye. The things that we see now are temporal.

As your faith grows you will be able to say to the mountain move and it will move, you won’t have to beg it. Go back to what you believe God for and make it, speak it.

Do not level down your faith, do not let it decrease. Continue living in the world of faith and repent where ever you failed to believe God. Repent and believe Him for more.
