Faith is the most fundamental requirement in our walk with God.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen (Mark 16:14 KJV)

Faith is fundamental in a righteous walk with God. We must both begin and end with faith. Unbelief and doubt are two terrible thieves of possibilities. Faith is the first thing that gets Heaven’s attention. You must believe and believe to the end. Do not allow anything to steal your faith in the Word of God.
When our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, the first thing He restored to His first apostles is their faith. He wanted to be sure that they still have faith in the Word. The Word tell tells us that He upbraided them of their unbelief.
The only way and the first step to be useful to the kingdom agenda is to show that you believe. Faith creates the atmosphere of possibilities and miracles. So you must only believe.
I do not know what life may be throwing at you but do not give on your faith in the Word of God. His word is yea and amen! His promises are sacred. Keep your heart and mind fixed on His promises.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. As you keep listening to the word, faith keeps building up in you.
Benediction
I declare that God will bless you. May He enlighten your understanding and may His hand sustain you! Nothing can stop you, so just keep believing.
Prayer
I am blessed. My faith shall not fail! God will sustain me in times of difficulty and in in times of doubt. Please help my unbelief, oh God!

Comment…Thank you Bishop.I pray that God wll sustain me in times of all difficulty.Amen.
Forgive Lord.. my unbelief
Indeed faith is a dominant force. Bishop God bless you for this power devotional and timeless of course.
The beautiful about today’s sermon is how it reminds me if a brother called Francis in my neighborhood. It all started when I have being inviting him to come with me to church. He keeps complaining that his toes and rotten and had bandage around them so he can’t wear shoes to church. I told to come like but he keeps saying he will try.
Then one day coming from and listening a sermon Bishop preached on faith saying how your little faith can move mountains,hmmmm I started thinking to myself asking why do I keep doubting that if I pray for this brother he will be healed. Then I believed what Paapa was saying so then decided to go look for the brother and pray for him. Just as I was going, I met and was trying to give the same excuse again. I asked him can I pray for him, he said yes and I burnt over touched his leg and prayed for him.
Glory Glory Glory to that as I write the testimony today, the brother is walking free in my neighborhood and wearing any kind of shoe he wants to. Amen
YES INDEED BELIEVE! FAITH IS A DOMINANT FORCE
Love you too Bishop
