SCRIPTURE: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The volume of light or insight you feed on determines your spiritual weight.
Life is a product of responsibility. Maintaining a life of faith leaves us with responsibilities. This is because there can be no reach without a stretch, and no flight without a fight.
Now, one thing that enhances faith is the acceptance of responsibility for the building of your faith.
Make the building of your faith a priority in life because the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17).
Build your faith with the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Build your faith by praying in the Holy Ghost always (Jude 1:20).
In the realm of the spirit, faith is built the way body builders or wrestlers physically build their bodies.
Body building entails rigorous trainings and exercises as well as the consumption of adequate nutrition. The truth is, no one can eat physical food for you. In the same manner, no one can build your faith for you. You have to accept the responsibility of building your faith. Show me a hard worker, a man who knows how to labour in the Word of God, and I will show you someone who is a giant in the faith.
You cannot exercise yourself like an ant and end as an elephant. An elephant eats 120 pounds of food in a day; and that is like the weight of some human beings. They have to consume 120 pounds of food in a day in order to sustain their massive size.
In the realm of the spirit, your light (Revelation) intake is what determines your weight. The volume of light or insight you feed on determines your spiritual weight.
The truth is, we do not have the same weight in the realm of the spirit. There are some demons God would never allow to come near some people because if He does, the demons would collapse such people.
There are people who cannot stand village demons because their spiritual weight is too small. For Job, it was satan himself, the head of all demons that confronted him (Job 1:7-12) because Job’s faith was equal to the task. For Jesus Christ, satan himself took Him and confronted Him in temptations. This was because Jesus could handle satan (Matthew 4:5).
Beloved, don’t be a physical giant and a spiritual dwarf. Accept the responsibility of building your faith. Build your spiritual weight.
