DAY 8
FAITH
*Luke 17:5-6*
5
AMP:The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith (that trust and confidence that spring from our belief in God).
6
AMP:And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.
Stephen was recorded as a man full of faith. Act 6:5
5
AMP:And the suggestion pleased the whole assembly, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith (a strong and welcome belief that Jesus is the Messiah) and full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte (convert) from Antioch.
Also, the book of Act 11:21-24.
21
AMP:And the presence of the Lord was with them with power, so that a great number [learned] to believe (to adhere to and trust in and rely on the Lord) and turned and surrendered themselves to Him.
22
AMP:The rumors of this came to the ears of the church (assembly) in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23
AMP:When he arrived and saw what grace (favor) God was bestowing upon them, he was full of joy; and he continuously exhorted (warned, urged, and encouraged) them all to cleave unto and remain faithful to and devoted to the Lord with [resolute and steady] purpose of heart.
24
AMP:For he was a good man [good in himself and also at once for the good and the advantage of other people], full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit and full of faith (of his belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through Whom we obtain eternal salvation). And a large company was added to the Lord.
Barnabas was another man, recorded to be full of faith. This shows our faith can increase and it's meant to be increased daily till we get full of faith.
Faith is very essential in the kingdom and so, we won't settle for lesser faith.
So, we are going to pray just like the way the Apostles did in the book of Luke.
*God increase my faith ever than before, until I become full of faith.
So shall it be, for in Jesus name. We've prayed....Amen!
Please don't let the prayers end here online, we can continue in our privacy
God bless us!
