       *THE GREAT FAITH*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  13 October 2024:Share*


SCRIPTURE: Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy Faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour - *Matthew 15:28 KJV*


Jesus turned to His Disciples who were fearful in the storm and questioned their Little Faith - *Matthew 8:26*


But in our Anchor Bible Text, He turned to the woman of Canaan who came to seek help for her daughter, who was grievously vexed with a devil, and commended her Great Faith.


*This teaches us that Faith is in Levels and varies from Person to Person irrespective of Position or Title.*


Disciples with Titles had Little Faith, while a woman with No Title had Great Faith.


*What are the Characteristics of Great Faith?*


*(1)* It believes that the Word of God is True - It does not doubt the Word.


• Jesus called the woman a dog. She did not disagree, but she still expressed her Faith in the Word of God.


*(2)* It believes that Jesus is the Way out of the troubles of Life, and there is no alternative to Him.


• The woman came to Jesus and had no other Plans.


*(3)* It is very Persistent.


• The woman cried for help, and there was no response. Yet, she Persisted even when the Disciples asked the Lord to send her away.


*(4)* It does not give up.


• The woman did not give up until the Lord answered her. 


*(5)* It believes that whatever comes from the Lord today is enough for today.


• The woman believed that the crumbs from the Master's table were enough to address her issue.


• The Bible says, for therein is the Righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to Faith - *Romans 1:17*


*As our Faith increases, we see God in New Dimensions.*


*Prayer:*

Father, in the Name of Jesus, Please increase my Faith that I might see You in a New Dimension in Jesus Christ Name.
