Last week, we talked about how to increase our capacity to succeed and the vital role that faith plays in allowing us to do this
Because:
Faith increases our capacity to receive from God,
The bigger your life, business or visibility goals- the bigger your faith will need to be
If that’s true, it follows that lack of faith decreases our capacity to succeed.
The most obvious way that lack of faith shows up is through unbelief or lack of faith in God.
According to The Parable of the sower, this usually happens because of “the cares of the world” (Matthew 13:22).
For the widow in 2nd Kings 4:1-7, it would have been easy- even expected- for her to lose faith in God
I mean, not only had her husband died- he left her with huge debt and creditors ready to make her sons slaves if she was unable to pay it off!
But she didn’t
Instead she approached Elisha to tell him what was happening (knowing that he was a prophet of God).
Her decision to remain faithful, even in the face of adversity, is what led to the sequence of events that ultimately allowed her to pay the debt, keep her family together and fend for herself even after that
Whilst the money did not bring back her loved one, can you imagine how much worse her situation would have been if she’d lacked the faith to proceed with God?
I have similar testimonies that I want to share with you
If you’re currently going through a tough time…
If your circumstances don’t match up with your life, business or visibility goals…
The posts below are your reminder not to “grow weary while doing good, for in due season [you] shall reap if [you] do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9)
