Understanding The Demand of Faith
Here are a few points I was able to gather from the incredibly illuminating teaching on FAITH by Bishop David Oyedepo. I just had to make sure to share it with you. Before you dig in though, if you can't take out anything else remember that you cannot afford to lose your faith.

Matthew 9:29
Every man is given according to the level of his faith. The events of a man's life is according to the level of his faith

Acts 6:7.
Faith is the substance of salvation.

2 Peter 1:6-10 Faith is the foundation of every great destiny. Everything anchors on faith.
The moment you lose your faith, the devil has overrun your destiny. So never lose your faith. Faith is our strongest defence in battle against all satanic assaults Habakkuk 2:4, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38

The building of faith is worth all investment.
"My faith came alive when I engaged in the search for answers to all my questions." -Papa

Every discovered truth steers faith naturally. Romans 10:17. Nobody ever doubts what he can see.

Faith is a living virtue with unlimited capacity for growth.
If anything does not answer to me it is an indication that my faith level has not got there
2 Thessalonians 1:3
Faith grows, but we must understand the demand of our faith. Faith grows primarily by the word. Romans 10:17, Acts 8:37, Psalm 119:18.

We can pray our access into the WORD on any subject of interest to us.
Jeremiah 33:3

Building one's faith is no cheap talk, it is hard work. Hebrews 4:11-12
We must take full responsibility for building our faith or we become religious liabilities. The job is in building your faith. This takes genuine Labour in the word.
1 Timothy 5:17.
Your honour level changes according to the quality of your Labour in the word. 2 Timothy 4:13
Acts 24:14, 2 Timothy 2:15

Faith must be cautiously cultivated and never assumed. Meditation upon the word boosts our understanding and our faith comes alive. Through meditation your faith is boosted and your profiting is enhanced.

When you pray in the holy ghost, make writing materials handy because you pray into realms of answers. There the holy spirit teaches you things u do not know.
There is no faith giant who has not taken the responsibility of labour in the word

Shalom
