BUILDING FAITH

I know when the Lord talked about faith as small as a mustard seed that can move mountains, he knew what he was talking about.

 

I am one of those Christians who daily has to pray for the Lord to increase my faith as I have difficulty exercising the little I have.

I come to Him in prayer and supplication as often as I can, but there have been those hard nut prayers where I have presented my request with one eye open, a doubting Thomas of sorts. A recent such case was healing for a cancer patient where in words I believed for healing but in deed rationalized how this miraculous healing would happen especially with those on ground ,already so faint and reporting the worst. Low and behold the patient passed on. (RIP Mr. Moses Matovu)

Luckily this is not always the case and to build my always lingering faith there are those cheerfully employed examples of the Lord’s hand in my life. Looking back to the far the Lord has brought me is one technique that helps me not only to stand but keep believing.

Sometimes if you are like me as you present your needs to the Lord, you are armed with cheer and height of character, swimming in gratification of what is yet to happen as you continue to pray. One such case was a prayer request I carried on from last year about the same time.

At the start of 2013, it was one of those  1+1=2 prayer requests, Lord do your thing , thanks for the blessing, Amen.  Upon my honor 1+1 wasn’t 2 anymore but a sum that puzzled me and all concerned. It soon became clear that the Lord’s answer was clearly wait, something that doesn’t come easily to some of us.

I stood in the gap again, pleading with the Lord for a miraculous 2 , the yes, but because of previous hurdles  this was mostly done with my eyes half closed. As the wait evolved from, 3 months roll on to one year, in my little grain of faith, I still went on my knees asking for a quick answer, whispering perhaps February Lord.

Luckily time presents no boundaries to the one who created it and as I continued to water my grain of faith the Lord blossomed it with a problem not only solved but signed, sealed and delivered. The timing couldn’t have been any more perfect, an unreserved yes at in January much more earlier than I had anticipated.

This answer has motivated me to keep tending my grain of faith for in every trial there is compensation and we don’t even have to look so hard but simply rest in Him.

I have a gleaming hope for tomorrow, for He who has done this, can do exceedingly, abundantly more. #Gratified.

 

 He has given me the booster to fertilize my faith.

Ps

Talk about speaking in parables, I am not even sure I know what am on about but main thing is God is faithful regardless of whether we are or not.
