A man was to walk on a tightrope. Some people came to his friend and asked him whether his friend would be able to do that. He replied, ‘I have complete faith in him that he can walk the rope.
The man walked on the rope, the friend said to the people, "I knew that he would do it. I had full faith in Him."
The next time, he heard that his friend was again going to walk the tightrope. But this time, the rope would be tied between two tall buildings. He said, ‘Yes he can do it!’ The person who gave the news said, ‘the buildings are tall; can he still do it?’ He replied ‘Yes!’ When the performance took place and it became a record, the friend said, "I knew that he would do it. I had full faith in Him."
After some days, some people came and informed him that his friend is going to walk on the rope, and this time it will be between two mountains. Again he expressed total faith and the feat was performed without any hitch.
After some days, people told him, ‘Your friend is going to walk again on the rope across two mountains and this time he will do it carrying another man on his back.' Again he expressed total faith in him. But soon he got the news that nobody was ready to sit on his back. Everyone was scared because their faith was faltering.
So they told him, ‘but you have total faith in him. Then why don’t you volunteer to sit on his back?’ The man fled the scene immediately.
From this story it is understood that his faith is not to that height (boiling point) where transformation occurs. When water becomes vapour, transformation takes place. Only when the temperature reaches 100°C does transformation occur. Miracles begin when faith reaches the right degree of measure.
Dear friends, do not let fear, anxiety, religious tradition or the opinions of others deter or sway your faith. God is active in the earth today. May your faith be unshakeable and strong.
Faith precedes the miracle. It has ever been so and shall ever be. It was not raining when Noah was commanded to build an ark. There was no visible ram in the thicket when Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. First came the test of faith - then the miracle.
Remember that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other. Cast out your doubt and grow in faith in God, You shall never be disappointed.
