Daily Voice Devotional with Niyi AdekunleTuesday, 13th MayHow Faith Comes 2In Luke 8, when a storm threatened to sink their boat, the disciples panicked and woke Jesus. After calming the storm, Jesus asked them, “Where is your faith?” This question wasn’t just about the moment—it challenged their understanding and use of faith.Jesus expected more from His disciples because of the time they had spent with Him. When they were at a loss of what to do, they ran to Jesus, which is fine, but they did it out of fear and confusion. Jesus expected them to raise up to the situation and exercise their faith. He felt they should have learnt how to respond to issues by faith not just be observers around Him. Jesus came not only to save us but also to show us what’s possible through faith.So, where does faith come from?Romans 10:17 (NKJV), “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”Rom 10:17 TPT Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.”Faith doesn’t appear automatically because we’re Christians. It is birthed and nurtured within us. It resides in our spirit, in the heart, and it grows through fellowship with God.It’s not just about just hearing sermons or reading Scripture as important as these are. It’s about internalizing the life and presence of God through meditation and fellowship with God. True hearing comes when we have an audience with God, when we engage Him deeply. You can be in the same space with someone and not know them, but real fellowship brings you into heartfelt connection.Faith is birthed in that place of intentional, consistent fellowship. It’s not a one-time event. The more we commune with God, not just pray or read, but truly listening to Him and responding, the more faith rises within us.As you commit to doing this, watch how faith will grow in your heart.God bless you. Enjoy your day.
