Daily Voice Devotional with Niyi AdekunleSunday 18th May How Faith Comes 7How does faith come? How do we move through different levels of faith in our walk with God? Mark. 4:40 (MKJV) And He said to them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?Matt. 14:31 GWT, Immediately, Jesus reached out, caught hold of him, and said, "You have so little faith! Why did you doubt?" Matt. 15:28 MKJV Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! So be it to you even as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that very hour.Peter had stepped out of the boat and was walking on water toward Jesus. At that moment, he was operating in faith. But as soon as he looked at the wind and waves, his physical circumstances he began to sink. Jesus saved him and pointed out his little faith. The lesson here is - when we take our eyes off God’s word and focus on circumstances, doubt creeps in, and faith weakens.When we give attention to physical evidence over God’s Word, it weakens faith. The Syrophoenician woman in Matthew 15, on the other hand was commended for having great faith. Why? When Jesus told her He wasn’t sent to her and gave all the reasons He couldn’t heal her daughter, she did not back down. The circumstances didn’t discouragement her faith and she got what she wanted from Jesus.• No faith: Disregards God’s Word.• Little faith: Believing but considers physical evidence, so there’s doubt.• Great faith: Disregards every physical or contrary evidence as it hold on to God’s Word.Abraham demonstrated great faith by not considering his or Sarah’s old age but believing God's promise fully. Great faith is staying locked into God's Word alone.My prayer for you is that, as you go through this series, your faith will grow continually as you trust God’s Word above all else in Jesus’ Name.God bless you, enjoy your day!
