We have been looking at faith since we started. As I said before, our mission is to build the belivers' faith so that they can access their inheritance in Christ Jesus. This is the tasks God gave us. Therefore, it shall be our main message in this commission.
We have seen that we cannot do anything in this kingdom without faith. We cannot please God without faith. We cannot access His provisions without faith. We can't even survive as Christians without faith.
If faith is that important, why then some Christians treat the subject of faith as if is not important?
We have seen from our previous messages that faith is what we need to access our inheritance in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 11:6, Acts 20:32)
How can we build our faith to access our inheritance in Christ?
We discovered from the scripture that every Born again child of God has some element of faith (Romans 12:3).
But many never made any effort to build their faith from the day they gave their lives to Christ. The faith you received when you got born again is not enough to take you through the journey of life as a Christian. That faith was given to you as a foundation to build on. If you stop at the foundation level, you may not be able to move forward as a Christian. You may not be able to access your inheritance as a Christian. You may not be able to live the life of a Christian. This is the reason why many are just Christians by name. Many Christians stopped at the foundational level…
HOW DO WE BUILD OUR FAITH?
There are two major ways we can build our faith
Through the Word of God
By praying in the Holy Ghost
We have seen that faith comes by hearing and hearing or understanding of the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
Also Acts 20:32 says, “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and the word of his grace, which is able to build you up…”
So what do you do if you want to build your faith? You study the Word of God with all the seriousness it deserves. You get addicted to the Word of God and meditate on it day and night to make it your lifestyle. You pay close attention to God's instructions and what He requires from you.
You will find yourself naturally putting God's Word to work if you are able to get addicted to the Word of God. That is the way to grow your faith.
The second way to grow your faith is by praying in unknown tongues.
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” Jude 1:20 (KJV).
You have to spend a lot of time praying in the Holy Ghost. You have to spend at least one hour every day to pray in the spirit. Speaking in tongues has a way of building our conference in God…
