Hello friends, I welcome everyone to my blog today. Nonetheless, I wish to air my view in response to the capsulation above.
First I would like to define faith according to "Heb 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" [NIV]
No one on earth is without problem or need, but how do we solve those problems that are bigger than our strength can carry?
Tenacity is the answer. We need to bring those forgone prayers alive until something is done by the supernatural.
One must trust God for his faith to work perfectly. For instance, we saw an incredible faith in the life of the men that settled in the plain of shinarb when the world was still speaking one language in Gen.11
Nevertheless, in Gen 11:6
"The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them."
Despite that the motive of these men for building this city was wrong before God, but we can see that even God attested that nothing will be impossible to them.
So these men had a great faith and wanted a name for themselves if not for divine engagement.
So as children of God, there is no bound to the limit we can attain in Life. There is no problem or issue we can't surmount if we believe and this is fascinating.
How does faith work?
In Rom. 10:17
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. [NIV]
Every end in life has a means and when we ignore those rudiments towards our goals, that's when we start losing.
So we must follow the scriptures to be able to spur faith in our lives. The scriptures are full of unusual and magnanimous results, and there was never a place where the Bible quoted the plans or wishes of those that believed God failed.
God doesn't fail and he doesn't play pranks, that's why he is God.
One of the renowned preachers in Nigeria, Rev. Uma Ukpai once had a crusade in the northern part of our country which is a Boko Haram zone but before the crusade, the Governor of the State asked him not to come that they will kill him so he told the Governor that if God has permitted that he should die in in the crusade why should he stop it.

Finally he went for the crusade and some members of the gang went and planted bombs in the crusade ground but till the end of the program, the bomb could not explode and finally at the end of the program, they came to him and confessed asking him why their bomb couldn't explode in the crusade ground.
After meeting with the man of God, they confessed and he prayed for them. This indicates a great faith in God although he never knew their shenanigan but faith in God deteriorated the effect of their weapon.
I could remember while I was still in the university, I had this motorcycle I normally use in attending lectures. During my third year, I packed the bike in one of the school garages and went for lectures. On returning, some bad eggs had stolen the bike so I went home with a public transport that day because I was living off the school shores.
Then I was too broke to purchase another bike to ease my attendance at lectures because I just finished paying my school fees as it was the inception of the school session.
I just made a simple prayer to God for a replacement of the bike and further, I picked one of the messages of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, a well known preacher in Nigeria. The message was all about having faith in God.
After listening to that message, and believing God for a miracle, it got to the Sunday of that week, I went to Church and my Pastor Rev. Ezekiel of Assemblies of God Church told me that God has given him the burden to replace my stolen bike so the next Sunday, he called me and gave me money for a new bike.
I went and bought the bike and after the purchases, I took back the remaining money to him but he told me that he can't collect it as God has told him to give me all the money.
So there is nothing God can not do for us if we persist in asking him to attend to those needs.
I had a growth on the right side of my neck in 2014 and it was so inconviniencing. My parents told me that we need to go for a surgery over it although my Father was still alive then as he passed away in 2020.
I told them that God will heal me and after about a few months when that swollen spot came up, it disappeared on its own without operation and I gave God the glory.
So there is nothing God cannot do for us if we really trust in him. He is faithful and true so our faith in him works wonders.
Besides in 2015 when I told my late Dad that I wanted to further my education in the university, he told me that there was no money for that but I told him that I'll go to school and God will train me.
Finally in 2016, I took JAMB exammination and got admission to study Economics in Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike. So I went there with faith, without the help of any family member and no scholarship, I studied and graduated. So it's important to have faith in God brethren.
A man of faith is never deterred in his optimism, the means to the ends might not be there but trusting God will bring those our wishes to pass.
In Psalms 37:5 Bible says according to NIV, Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.
So we are weighed down by our burdens and problems because we have not recognized that those burdens are meant for God to show up.
Let's trust in God over our issues and the extent he will attend to our needs will be highly unusual.
