Romans 1:16-17 KJV
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
Faith is in levels and dimensions. There is the normal faith that was born in your heart when you gave your heart to Jesus. Nevertheless, there is what is known as the gift of faith.
But whichever kind of faith you have, it has to grow from level to level. It is not wise to allow your faith to remain at one level, and the reasons are very obvious.
The truth is this, no problem can be successfully addressed and dealt with in the absence of faith. Secondly, the faith you needed to deal with problem "A" is not the same faith you may need for problem "B".
The reason is, you are moving from level to level each time in your life, and each new level attracts new devils towards you.
Such that the measure of faith you used to deal with the devil of problem "A" will not be the same you will need for the next level.
This is why your faith will need to grow from faith to faith. Too many people have suffered all kinds of losses, including the loss of lives, all because they did not endeavour to grow their faith from faith to faith.
The next question is "how does faith grow"? The scriptures have said that faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17).
So, if faith comes by hearing, then it means that your faith grows upon each hearing of the word of God. The more you hear, the more your faith grows from faith to faith.
The next way to grow your faith is by using it to solve problems for yourself and for others. The more you use a thing, the better you get at using it and the better it gets in your hands.
Whatever you do, do not stay at the same level of faith for too long. Grace to grow from faith to faith in Jesus Name.
