Israel
Heb.11:30 “It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down.”
The seventh example of stepping up by faith is the Israelites. Heb.11:29 “It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned.” In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, as you take your steps of faith forward, every Egyptian that attempts to follow you will drown.

Superior Intelligence
Heb.11:9 “And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise.”
Too many people benchmark God’s will with ease but the proof of God’s will is peace and not ease. God’s Word does not say it will always be easy. God’s Word says it will always be peaceful. When everyone else is in pain or confused, you may be in a tent but you will have so much peace. Read the rest of this entry
By Faith!
Heb.11:8 “It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going” [with emphasis].
The fifth example of stepping up by faith is Abraham. Most times, God would not show you the total picture, God would not fully tell you how or where. People often come to me asking to know what will happen next in their journey with God. Read the rest of this entry
To You
Gen.18: 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” 15 Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh.” But the Lord said, “No, you did laugh.”
God spoke directly to Sarah and she believed. Heb.11:11 “It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise” [with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Sarah Believed?
Heb.11:11 “It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise” [with emphasis].
The Bible says that though Sarah was barren and she was too old, she believed that God was able to keep His promise. In other words, Sarah had the odds stacked up against her, she had enough evidence to doubt God but Sarah chose to believe God still. Read the rest of this entry
Faith It!
Mark 12:43-44 (MSG) “ Jesus called his disciples over and said, “The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they’ll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn’t afford—she gave her all.”

Seeds of Greatness
Prov.6:6 “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! 7 Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, 8 they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter” [with emphasis].
To Step Up Financially, you must Earn Some; Spend Less, and Save More. Clement Stone says, “If you are unable to retain money, the seeds of greatness are not in you.” The first time I came across this quote, it more than shocked me. Read the rest of this entry
Him Not I
James 4:10 (Voice) “Lay yourself bare, facedown to the ground, in humility before the Lord; and He will lift your head so you can stand tall.”
God skipped all the likely candidates and picked Joshua as the one to lead God’s people into His promise. This is not the first time we see this play out in Scripture and it was not the last time either. We must always remember that God does not see as man sees. Read the rest of this entry
