Reality of Faith

Hebrews: 11. 1. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 

Faith is constant belief that you can achieve something that looks impractical logically. The fact that we do not see it, does not mean that it is non-existent.

Faith is a deep subject that is taken lightly by many people. Ask someone what their 5 year plan is and you will most likely get a vague answer like, I want to be financially secure.

Faith without works is dead. I cannot stress deeply enough the importance of writing down your faith statement. This is similar to a company mission statement, but in this case directed to the individual.

A proper faith statement should be time-bound. State the exact objective you wish to achieve in a specific time duration. If it is a monetary goal, write down the amount in figures. Do not limit your goals to what you think is achievable but always aim at more.

Accompany your statement with a detailed description of activities that you will be doing in order to reach this goal. Nothing in this world comes easy. You have to work for it or employ workforce to get results.

Finally, employ the art of positive affirmation. By constantly reading and reciting your faith statement, you fill your sail with positive energy that will drive you towards the goal.

       So be clear about what you want, write it down, recite it and do it to completion even when it's achievement looks unlikely.
