Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV).
Faith is a three dimensional force namely faith in God, faith on the word God and faith in his messenger. These three basic factors can guarantee your faith in God and it's the bases of Christianity.
There are different levels of faith at which God's People function. Some operate at the messenger level while others operate in the word of God. However, these three basic factors determine the faith of every believer of God for a successful Christian life.
Faith in God (God kind of faith)
The Bible shows us this kind of faith in Genesis chapter one. After the created heaven and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And God said, let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV)
God demonstrated his authority over all the creation into being. Christian's are created in the image of God; so we can equally operate in the same class of God. We can handle any kind of situations and get His kind of results.God kind of faith can change anything for good.
So learn to copy God kind faith, boldly declare the word God over a particular situation, and keep the word of God in your mouth. Keep saying it till its produce supernatural results in your life. Believe what God says and keep talking it.
Faith on the word of God (human kind of faith)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (KJV). The more of God's word you store in your heart, the bigger your faith becomes. The less of God word you have in your heart, the less faith to produce when you're faced with challenges.
Indeed, there's no shortcut to growing your faith; the word of God is the only true way. As a matter of facts, you must cultivate the habit consistently listening to, meditating and studying on the word of God.
If you're having challenge in your health, marriage, parenting, or you're in a situation that seems hopeless, my advice is that get to the Word. Get married to the word of God; search the scriptures that apply to that peculiar situation, and declare the word of God to that situation.
The Bible shows us in Hosea 4:6 (KJV). My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. You have to speak the word of God until it take charge of your mind, just that all you think and know is what the word says until you become fully persuaded.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. Genesis 22:10 (KJV). However, Abraham agrees to offers lsaac because he kept his thoughts fixed on God's promise.
As you keep feeding your spirit with the God's word, your faith will grow and stand strong to face any life's challenges.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible has all the proofs on how men of God who diligently seek him were favor in all there endeavor. So your case will not be different. As a Christian, God wants you to have faith in him, whatsoever the challenges.
Faith on his messenger (still under human kind of faith)
The human kind of faith is based on information or knowledge obtained from the senses. This basically depends on those things you see or touch physically. It doesn't produce any kind of results. Because faith is the substance of things hope for evidence of things not seen.
A good example of someone who operates in this kind of faith was Thomas, one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. When he heard that his master had risen from the dead, he said, "Except l see….l will not believe!" (John 20:25).
Shortly, when Jesus appears to him, He rebuked him saying, "be not FATHLESS, but believing…" (John 20:27). You see how Jesus rebuked Thomas because he was still faithless. For those who say seeing is believing are faithless; The human kind of faith is no faith at all.
Look at what Jesus told Thomas, "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). The blessed person is the one that believes before seeing.
We are soldierly depending on what we see. If a clergy fails to demonstrate how faith works then the followers also failed; in most cases, we Christians believe on what we see physically and are the reasons why we are still babies who cannot perform anything.
