Everyone has a measure of faith, but those who excercise their faith increase their measure, while those who do not excercise their faith only maintain their measure. Every measure of faith has the ability to stretch, grow, strengthen and speak, but you must excercise it. The challenge people have with faith is, one you must be able to see the invisible and hear the inaudible; two you must be able to act on something you cannot see and cannot prove you heard. People who are more natural than spiritual will not understand you when you are moving in faith, for they cannot see or hear why you are doing what you are doing.

Our need to see and hear has hindered our obedience to God. Hebrews 13 says, “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Rewards are given to those who seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, knowing full well, all these things will be added unto them (Matthew 6:33). God rewards obedience, which means when you act in faith based on what He says to you, before you or anyone around you can see or hear the result of what you are doing, there is a reward for faith.

Jesus said, when I return to earth will I find faith on earth? He isn’t coming to find gold, silver, houses, cars, or even stadium events. He is coming with one desire, to find faith on earth. When faith is our highest value, we reveal we trust the Lord with all our hearts, we are not leaning on our own understanding, in all our ways we are acknowledging Him and He is directing our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Church we are really good at celebrating what we see, testimonies we hear, but we are weak in cheering people on who are walking by faith and who are not yet able to testify. Faith sees the unseen; faith hears the unhearable; faith moves by what it knows; faith waits longer than most would wait; because faith is a relationship with a person, not an outcome. We are called people of faith, and I will show you my faith by what I do (James 1); how about you, can people see your faith, even if they don’t understand why you do what you do?
