CHAPTER ONE

Every believer has faith

This statement seems so uncommon but very true. But how true is it? To proof this, we will be looking at some scriptures that points to that and establishes that fact. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)”

Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of him-self more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as GOD HATH DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH.

Please, I’d like us to note very carefully here that “all men HAVE NOT FAITH” (2 Thess. 3:2b). In his epistle to the church in Rome, Paul was talking to the believers (saints) in Rome. You can confirm that in Romans 1:7. So all men have not faith but every believer has the measure of faith as God hath dealt to them according to their level of spiritual engagement. The bible said he gave them talents according to their several abilities (Matthew 25:15), so it is with faith. And just like the story of the talents, the more you invest it, the more dividends you get. Faith, may comes by hearing the word (Romans 10:17) but it’s grows by constant practice of the word. It’s takes a genuine labor in the word for one’s faith to grow. God give you a seed and expect you to trade with it.
