Is your FAITH feeling WEAK? - Pastor Tobe Ekwueme

Every human has faith, naturally.Every believer has faith, divinely.Romans 12:1-3 NKJV[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you presentyour bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is yourreasonable service. [2] And do not be conformed to this world, but betransformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is thatgood and acceptable and perfect will of God. [3] For I say, through the gracegiven to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself morehighly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to eachone a measure of faith.hRomans 12:3- The Greek word "metron" (measure) implies a determined extent or portion- "Pistis" (faith) in this context refers to both saving faith and the capacity forspiritual trust/serviceFaith is real, substantial, measurable, alive.Example: Exercise challengeFaith is like a muscle.1. Even if all I have is a mustard seed of Faith, If I plant it (use it) it willgrow to mountain moving proportions!Story of the talentsMatthew 25:14-27 MSG[14-18] “It’s also like a man going off on an extended trip. He called hisservants together and delegated responsibilities. To one he gave fivethousand dollars, to another two thousand, to a third one thousand, dependingon their abilities. Then he left.......,’ [24-25] “The servant given one thousandsaid, ‘Master, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, thatyou demand the best and make no allowances for error. I was afraid I mightdisappoint you, so I found a good hiding place and secured your money.[26-27] “The master was furious. ‘That’s a terrible way to live! It’s criminal tolive cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do lessthan the least? The least you could have done would have been to invest thesum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest.But what about doubt?The Father's Cry (Mark 9:24)In a deeply human moment, a father seeking healing for his son criesout to Jesus, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" This shortverse powerfully captures the coexistence of faith and doubt.Personal Faith Story...What can we do?
