A call for BIGGER faith

Read: Hebrews 11

Hello Friend!

What is the most impossible thing you think can never happen? Or what is something you pray for, but deep inside, you think it’s very unlikely to happen? Have you ever wondered why it’s easier to doubt than to believe?


Life often presents really big challenges to us and sometimes, we give in because our minds have been limited to believing some things can not happen. We often get carried away with disbelief, forgetting that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). 


Why is it that it is much easier to doubt than to believe? Have you also wondered why it is easier to believe that bad things will happen, rather than accept that good things will happen? The Bible also makes us understand that as a man thinketh in his heart so, is he. Directly or indirectly, we can say that we are a product of the level of faith we have and the things we believe and accept in our lives. 


Today, let’s decide to step out of our comfort zone where we easily give in and accept that, “what will be will be”. Let’s step out of that level of faithlessness that limits our capacity, let’s decide to go bigger on faith, let’s leave the mustard seed level of faith and aim for the level of faith where we trust God completely lie Abraham, like Noah, like Enoch, and the rest of them. 


Hebrews 11 shares inspiring instances of how men and women of faith prevailed and lived in dominion because they chose to step out of the comfort zone called disbelief. Apostle Paul wrote in Hebrews 11:33-34, “By faith, these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.”


The things we can do by faith are much more than we can imagine. But are we even ready? Are you ready to step up?


Keep in Mind 

“For we live by faith, not by sight." 
2 Corinthians 5:7 


Affirmation

Dear God, please help me to grow in faith and give me a deeper understanding of your word.

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “An...

Drifting Away (Part 1)

Chidi was known as a devoted brother—quiet, disciplined, and deeply committed to God. He was one of those people whose life seemed to reflect his faith effortlessly. In his church, he served faithfully in the choir, never missing rehearsals, always present, always focused. People admired him, not just for his voice, but for his consistency. Outside church, Chidi worked as an operations assistant in a fast-growing fintech firm. He was diligent, respectful, and serious about his job. His life seemed steady—until things began to change. One morning, news spread across the office that their boss had resigned. A new manager was appointed—a confident, well-spoken woman. She was married, but from the moment she met Chidi, something about him caught her attention. At first, it was subtle. “Chidi, can you stay back for a few minutes after work? I’d like to go over something with you,” she said one evening. Chidi nodded politely. “Yes ma.” But the “work discussions” soon ...

The beauty of God’s mercy

  God’s mercy is  one of the most beautiful expressions of His love toward us. It is constant, undeserved, and always available—no matter our past or present. The Bible reminds us that “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:22–23 NLT). Every new day is proof that God has not given up on us. His mercy is not limited or conditional. “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Psalm 103:8 NLT). Even when we fall short, He responds with patience and kindness rather than judgment. God’s mercy reaches into every area of our lives. “Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Hebrews 4:16 NLT). In our moments of weakness, confusion, or need, His mercy is always within reach. It is also through His mercy that we are saved and sust...
