<Luke 17:5-10>
HOW TO INCREASE FAITH?
• We require faith to accomplish a lot of activities
• It is by faith that we have hope and expectation on God. People who do not
know God will not understand this
• We will receive conviction when we are willing to let go of ourselves and
problems and to go to the Lord. This can only be done by faith. People who do
not know God will not understand this
• The result of faith enables us to see the examples left behind by Jesus, our
sadness can be transformed into strength
• The result of faith enables us to see that God has prepared everything for us
even though we have nothing now
• Everyone who stands before the Lord must believe that:
1) God is alive;
2) He will reward me when I place my hope on Him alone
• We often have to suffer because our concerns are easily put on the carnal
things
• We cannot sustain our lives if we do not have faith in God
• Only people who have faith are able to console and bless others. Otherwise,
the more we try to console others, the sooner we will lose our love for others
and become sad or burdened
• We can overcome all problems and receive answered prayers only when we
have faith
• On the other hand, those without faith will often cause others to sin
2. A servant did what he was told… when he had done, he should say
“We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty” (faith with
foundation). Confirm: does the hope and expectation I had, for the future
and for the things unseen, have a foundation? Only the servants of Jesus
Christ are able to hear His commands and serve Him. Right now, I am able to
receive the faith from God and do things in accordance to this faith. This
proves that “I am God’s servant”. If so, how about the future?
3. The apostles said to the Lord “Increase our faith!” (how to increase
faith?) Confirm: Is my faith increasing daily or is it fluctuating everyday?
Ponder: What are the reasons for our faith to get strengthened daily and what
are the reasons for it to be fluctuating? If our faith fluctuates, how can our
faith be increased daily?
