Trial of Faith

The trial of faith deals with patience and doubt.

Ever thought if your leader doesnt care much about you? Ever felt that your team isnt growing and you feel useless and unfruitful? Ever doubt yourself if you can be a leader? Or perhap, ever doubt if you ARE a leader?

The only way your faith will grow is by putting it through a test. As God passes faith through a test, it is purified, strengthened and enlarged.

1 John 5:4 "Faith is the victory that overcomes the world"

You'll never discover what it is to overcome if you dont have anything to overcome.

Abraham's trial of faith was to wait. He had to believe that God's promise was still coming to pass after twenty-five years. He was hundred years old. The man of God definitely had patience. Through it, God sees his faith.

Now the question is, if your team is not growing, can you be like Abraham and wait for the harvest to come? Or will you give it up just like that? This is a problem. Through this problem, there'll be doubts that the devil put in your minds.

As time goes by our hearts grow impatient. We think that our prayers arent answered, we think that God has forgotton.

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering for He that promises is faithful"

Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."

Do you trust Him? Do you believe?

Whenever we faced with a trial of faith, we will be tempted to doubt. It is easy to be full of faith when everything is alright and fine, when you're doing well and all. However, the real testing of faith comes when everything is not fine, when you arent doing well.

Victory only applies when you have a problem that needs overcoming, needs breaking-through.



In our blood, whether which blood type we have, runs the blood of Jesus Christ. He overcomes, therefore it makes us, overcomers.
