(Your Life Of Ever-Increasing Faith)
TO THE BIBLE 2 Corinthians 10:15 NIV
“…Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand.”
LET’S TALK
“Oh my, oh my, I’ve never heard such words in my life,” were Gerald’s words as he left his Care Group meeting with his friend, Joe. “Those words from Pastor make the world seem so small; my faith has burgeoned tremendously,” he remarked.
Just like Gerald, you can increase your faith; it’s what the Lord wants for you. In some of the Apostle Paul’s writings, we read of his emphasis on ever-increasing faith.
In 2 Thessalonians 1:3, for example, he compliments them on their increasing faith: “…your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other.”
The life you have in Christ is one of ever-increasing faith, that is, it’s from faith to faith! Talking about the Gospel, the Bible says, “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith…” (Romans 1:17).
The more you receive God’s Word, the greater your faith, because “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
Allow yourself to grow in faith by hearing more of God’s Word; don’t stay where you are in your knowledge of the Word; take the lid off of yourself. When you have ever-increasing faith, it results in an ever-expanding ministry.
If you’re a leader in any capacity in the church, always build your faith and the faith of your members. When your faith and their faith increase, the work of winning our world for the Lord Jesus will also greatly expand and increase.
This is why the teaching of faith, the work of faith, and the life of faith are very essential.

Speak:
By my faith, I’m leaping over walls; the world is beaten down before me; I reign over satan and the elements of this world. My life is for the glory of God; His glory in and through me is ever-increasing as I fulfil His purpose for my life, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen!
