Take Authority Over Your Finances

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.”
If we are being good stewards with the measure of faith we have, God will give us more. What is a measure of faith? What does Scripture say about this? A measure of faith is the sphere of influence and the level of authority where we place our faith to produce. It is my firm belief that one human being is capable of influencing for good or evil an average of around ten thousand people in his or her lifetime. Because everyone has been given a measure of faith, there will never be an excuse to not believe in God.
How do we receive God’s faith? Mark 11:22 NKJV “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.” A more literal translation for this verse is, Have God’s Faith! In Greek the verb is in the passive voice, which means that the action comes from outside. In other words, Jesus does not ask us to have faith in God, but God gives us a measure of faith that belongs to Him. In other words, our human nature is incapable of generating faith on its own. It can doubt but not believe; Divine nature can believe but not doubt. In essence, Jesus was telling Peter “Receive God’s faith to Bless others” and in Acts, we see Peter saying the same thing. “Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 NKJV
