7 KINDS OF FAITH

1. NATURAL FAITH/COMMON FAITH

"And demons also came out of many, crying, 'You are the Son of God!'But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ."- Luke 4:41

2. LITTLE FAITH
"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" -Matt. 6:30

3. MUSTARD SEED FAITH (Purity)
"He said to them, Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." -Matt. 17:20

4. GREAT FAITH
"But the centurion replied, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant,'Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith." - Matt. 8:8-10

5. MEASURE FAITH
"For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned." -Rom. 12:3

6. FAITHLESS FAITH
"Then he said to Thomas,"Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."- John 20:27

7.VISIBLE FAITH
"And when he saw their faith, he said, Man, your sins are forgiven." -Luke 5:20

How Comforters Are Created

READ | 2 Corinthians 1:1-7

Job asked a challenging question in his time of suffering: “Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10). Even hardship has a place in the Lord’s plan.

During a particularly painful time in my life, I decided that I ought to glean something from my distress. That decision allowed the Lord to open up a well of compassion in my heart that I often dip from to comfort those facing similar trials.

I found great solace in Paul’s words about our God, who “comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction” (2 Cor. 1:4). Think about the kind of people you seek out when you feel hurt. You want someone who has felt your pain, right? A person who’s walked the path we find ourselves on can understand our suffering and provide wise counsel.

According to the apostle, passing through a “valley experience” prepares us to be a blessing and encouragement to those who must go through something similar later. What’s required is that we accept the adversity He has placed in our way and choose to learn from the situation.

God is the Lord and Master of our life, and therefore, He has the right to use us as comforters and encouragers to those in our sphere of influence. As His servants, we must be willing to receive whatever training is necessary to complete His will, even when it hurts. Do not waste your suffering! Instead, use it to bring glory to the Lord.

M.D. (Master of Destroyer)

In my Physics laboratory class, we were about to experiment about the Boyle's Law. Unfortunately, I was holding a j-tube and suddenly I broke it. Not again! In fact in my life I destroyed many things and so my classmates sometimes called me "The destroyer". Well, I hope I could replace it within a week. Please help me God!!
