A message by Senior Prophet TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Lagos Nigeria.
In this teaching, he talks about our faith in God and how we should strive to maintain it in all situations.
It is surprising to see what faith people have in wrong things. Some people have faith in their own physical ability as was the case with Goliath when he faced the small shepherd boy, David. Others have faith in their worldly possessions like the rich young man in Matthew 19 who could not separate himself from his riches.
There are also those who have faith in the power and might of the sword like the Egyptian army when they pursued the Israelites at the Red Sea.
Look at Jesus’ answer in Mark 11: 22 – 23 “’Have faith in God,’ Jesus answered. ‘Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.’”
He is the Source of our faith. As faith people, faith is something we have by our very nature.
God has given us the measure of faith, the Spirit of faith and the Word of faith we would require to live for Him.
Therefore, if you discover that your faith is not enough, you can ask God to add to your faith. We are not asked to look inward to see how much faith we have but we are asked to look to God and take from Him the faith we need to live for Him here and now. It is easy to increase your faith through Him and to have faith through Him because He has a nature that makes it easy for men to trust in Him. Upon our own strength we cannot rely, we simply have to trust Someone greater, smarter and wiser than ourselves – Jesus Christ.
