Do You Have The Faith It Takes?

Faith is action! Hence, no action taken means there is no faith. That’s why they say ‘talk is cheap.’ Talking is worthless unless if you are in talking business, where they pay you to talk.
Many people claim to have faith. They quote 141 Bible verses but at the end of the day it’s just talk, cheap talk. Their actions are quite the opposite of what they confess.
Talk Is Cheap
Talk is cheap they say, even scripture talk without action! It is the action that matters. Actually the man who brings the result is the man of faith. So, ‘if you aint got no result, you aint got no faith.’
After talking scriptures and ‘confessing’ they go back to live their miserable lives; in defeat, going in circles again and again. They find some other stuff to confess. Once it fails they move to find something else to confess, and it goes on and on.
Yes, you may have faith to be born again. Okay. Good. What about to live your dream, to fulfil your calling and purpose. Yes, it takes faith!
‘I Have Faith To ….’
This guy said to me ‘I have faith to get training and get such and such a job.’ I asked him why he is not studying and he said he does not have money. ‘Mr Sande, if I could get the money required to do that course …,’ he said.
I asked him how much it cost to study. He said he does not know. I asked if he has been to the college to do some enquires or perhaps get the application forms, and he said ‘no.’ I asked him if he knew the curriculum and how the course is structured, and again he said ‘no.’
Unfortunately I had to say to him, ‘You do not have faith to get it, neither do you have the passion. You will not get what you want unless you change and become more serious.’
I went on to explain what I would do if I were him and I wanted this course. Knowing that my life and future hang on this course, knowing that my prosperity will be determined by this course, I will go to the college get the course details. Even if I don’t have money, I would submit my fully completed application form. I would talk to the admission officers and dig in to find if there are scholarships or sponsors. I will do all I can to get it. I would rather fail after trying than never attempt.
Mentoring A Passionate Person
Mentoring a passionate person, who has faith us such a joy. With one conversation, he/she can do things beyond imaginations. On the other hand, mentoring a negative complainer who has 121 reasons why he/she is not succeeding is a pain, and can even depress the mentor. Most mentors do not have time to push you around all the time and think for you. They have their own lives to run.
Do you have the faith and passion it takes to fulfil you dreams?
