Hebrews 11:1“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
- Psalm 112:5: Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.
- Proverbs 11:25: A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
- 2 Corinthians 9:6-8: Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Malachi 3:10.Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
The closest that the Bible comes to offering an exact definition of faith is Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” From this particular passage we see that the central feature of faith is confidence or trust. In the Bible, the object of faith is God and his promises.
When we first become a Christian, we put our faith in Jesus for salvation. But what happens to our faith after that? Does it just stay the same, does it magically grow on its own, or do we have to work at it?
Have you ever heard about someone who packed up their life to move to some far-away, dangerous place to spread the Gospel? Did you think of them as some kind of super-Christian with super-faith and think that could never be you?
It’s easy to get the wrong idea when we are just looking at the end result of a long process. It would be like looking at an Olympic runner and saying you could never run that far or fast. But no one starts out at the Olympic level! And as Christians, our faith doesn’t start there either.
No one starts out at the Olympic level! And as Christians, our faith doesn’t start there either.
So how does one go from not running at all to running a marathon? Practice! You start off running short distances, then gradually start running farther and farther until you can run a marathon.
One of the easiest and least scary ways to grow ourfait in God is through giving.
Here we can see the pattern, if we give, then God will bless us. Now it’s important to clarify here that “bless” does not just mean money. God’s blessings could include money, but they can also include things like restored relationships, greater joy, a closer walk with God, and much more.
is a good place to start because you can give as little as you want at first, then see what God does. As you see His faithfulness, you can start to give more and more, and see how much more God blesses you!
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we thank you for the opportunity to explain this important information to all over the world. It is very important for people to understand they have to grow their own faith and get a good raport with you to make it. We hope this lesson will teach them that. We hope they will have fun with you and get stronger and get to know you well so they can enjoy life down here and get a piece of heaven. We pray this in Our lord and savior’s name.
Prayer for renewing faith
Heavenly Father, I’m asking You to give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive Your correction and guidance, as I seek a faith revolution in my life—a dramatic turnaround in my thinking, believing, speaking and acting. I ask You to give me the strength to hold strong in the days ahead.
Lord Jesus take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
