Faith.

We exercise faith in our day to day living but need to develop our spiritual faith. We do things hoping for a result, yet we believe it will happen even though we have not seen the result.

A farmer hopes for a Good harvest, he knows that if he plants the seeds under the right conditions they will germinate grow and produce the plants and the harvest (even though he has not seen the harvest)

He then acts by ploughing the soil, adds fertiliser, then plants the seeds. He waters the soil and waits for the seeds to grow.

He sees the seeds become plant, which he looks after until they flower and produce crops which he harvests.

Faith involves:

• A firm unshakeable belief in God's words and promises and his power to keep them. It comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  Rom 10:17
• Action. James2:26 The farmer acted on his belief- planted the seed
• Patience. The farmer waited for the seeds to germinate and continued to tend to them till harvest.
•  A process (that needs strengthening) As you take the the step of faith and obey, God will show you signs. This will further help build on your faith.

Pray :

• For divine faith that moves obstacles and mountains.

• To know Gods promises in his word and believe and act on them so that they can come to pass in your life.

• For Patience to wait on God to do things in his own time. For patience in dealing with fellow men.

• For God to strengthen your faith especially in times of trial, and to rely on Him in these times.
