Day 1
The Thoughts of Faith
Think on God's Goodness

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:28-30).

Faith through thoughts. Your thoughts are where faith starts. The enemy of faith through thoughts is worry (Matt. 6:25-34), fear (Matt. 8:23-26), doubt (Matt. 14:25-31; Luk. 12:29) and misunderstanding (Matt. 16:5-12). Situations and problems will arise for you to worry, fear, doubt and be confused. Train your mind to think faith-full thoughts because God is faithful. Your thoughts should be full of faith. When in need, meditate on how God provides for His creation   (Matthew 6:25-30; Luke 12:24, 27).  When in fear, imagine how God will be with you (Matthew 10:19; Mark 13:11; Luke 12:11; Prov. 16:1), and how He knows the number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:28-31; Luke 12:4-7). When in doubt, decide to remember the word of God (Matt. 14:28-29) and keep your eyes on Him and not on the problem (Matt. 14:30-31). When  in reason, have an understanding of who God is and what He has done for you in the past (Matt. 16:5-11). What you think upon is what will be (Matt. 6:33; Eph. 3:20; Prov. 16:237; Isaiah 14:24). Don’t worry about tomorrow (Mat. 6:34). Meditate on God’s goodness (Phil. 4:6-8).

Day 2
The Emotions of Faith

Desire God Wholeheartedly

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth… (Revelation 3:15-16).

Faith through emotions. Emotion is energy in motion. The emotions of faith are feelings that compel you to act. The feelings that move you to action are passion, desire, displeasure and fear. Passion is zeal. God wants you to be excited about Him. He commands us to do things with enthusiasm.   When you give, give cheerfully (2 Cor. 9:7). When you pray, pray fervently (Jam. 5:16). When you fast, fast relentlessly (Matt. 4:1-2). When you serve, serve wholeheartedly (Eph. 6:5-8). When you help, help compassionately (Luke 10:25-37; Rom. 12:8). Desire God wholeheartedly. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart (Ps. 37:4). Love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength (Mk. 12:30). Your displeasure will create a reaction for change (Mk. 10:14). Until you are tired enough and displeased with something enough you will do nothing about it (1 Cor. 4:9-10). Fear is energy that moves one to act (Heb. 11:7). There’s good fear and bad fear. Fear can be an effective motivator. The 4 enemies of faith through emotions are lukewarmness, jealousy, displeasure and fear. Lukewarmness comes when you think you don’t need God because you are rich and have need of nothing (Rev. 3:17).  The absence of passion is indifference. Desire use wrongfully is jealousy. Displeasure and fear can be used positively or negatively. You choose! Be zealous for God and let everything you do be done with passion. Give Him your all and give Him your best.

Day 3
Speak Things To Be As God Did

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:22-23).

Image by Artur Voznenko

Faith through words. Speak things to be as God did. What you say matters. God created the world with his word (Gen. 1:3; Heb. 11:3; Ps. 33:6). He calls things to be through words (Rom. 4:17). He said we will have what we say if we don’t doubt (Mark 11:23). The enemy of faith through words is doubt and unbelief (Matt. 17:19-20). Your words control your environment (Luk. 10:5-6). Your words control your actions (Jam. 3:2-6; Josh. 1:8). Your words work for you or against you (Matt. 12:33-37; Rom. 10:10; 1 Pet. 3:10; Prov. 6:2; 13:2-3; 18:21; 21:23). Words can build you up or tear you down (Rom. 10:17; Prov. 15:4; Eph. 4:29).

  7. Can words affect your feelings? If so, how?  (Rom. 10:17; Prov. 15:4; Eph. 4:29).

Day 4
See Through God's Eyes

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye (Matt. 7:1-5).

Faith through vision. See through God’s eyes. What is vision? Vision is the ability to see the future or destiny  through images (Genesis 13:14-16; 15:5; Hab. 2:1-4). Where there is no vision there is no direction, and where there's no direction there's failure (Prov. 29:17-18). Seeing your vision keeps you on the right track and corrects your focus (Deut. 6:6-9). The enemy of faith through vision is distraction (Matt. 6:22-24). Focusing on others will hinder you from achieving your goal. God wants you to keep your eyes on him (Matt. 14:25-32). He wants you to judge yourself and not others (1 Cor. 11:31; Rom. 14:4). When you judge yourself you are able to see clearly to look for the good in others (Gen. 1:4).

  6. What should we look for in people? (Gen. 1:4; Prov. 15:30)

Day 5
Plan With God

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. (Matthew 12:15-30).

Faith through order. Faith works when and where there is order. There are 4 types of order: 1) Preparation, 2) Planning, 3) Prioritizing, and 4) Positioning. The enemy of faith through order is confusion. Prepare by putting things where they need to be (Mk. 6:37-44). Organization brings productivity and saves time (Eph. 5:15-16). Plan your day. Involve God in your plans and he will bring it to pass (Prov. 16:9; 19:21; 24:27; Ps 37:23). Write down your vision and make it plain (Hab. 2:2; Lk. 14:28-32). Prioritize and put God first (Matt. 6:33). Position yourself by respecting leadership and following orders (1 Cor. 11:3; Tit. 3:1).

Team Up With God and Others

One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael the day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph (John 1:40-45)

Faith through association. Your company can make you or break you (Prov. 13:20; 22:24-25; 1 Cor. 15:33). There is power in numbers (Prov. 30:24, 27). Two is better than one (Eccl. 4:9-12). With God, one will chase a thousand and two ten thousand (Deut. 32:30). The enemy of faith through association is selfishness, independence and division  (Luke 9:249-50; 57-62; Matt. 12:25-30). Working with others would require sacrifice and cooperation. Sacrifice and work together with others. Find your team players (Matt. 4:18-22). Don’t work alone (Gen. 2:18; Prov. 27:18). A team will help you reach your goal efficiently. There are talents and abilities in each person (1 Cor. 12:12-27). Collaborate with God and those on your team (Amos 3:3; Heb. 10:24-25). You are stronger together.

Day 7
Work For God

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen (Matt. 20:1-16).

Faith through Labor. God will bless the work of your hands (Deut. 28:12; Matt. 20:1-8). Faith without works is dead (Jam. 2:26).  It’s not enough to believe but you must act on what you believe. Implementation is needed to accomplish your goal. (Jn. 4:34; 5:36; 17:4). The enemy of faith through labor is laziness (Matt.25:26; Heb. 6:12; Prov. 21:25). If you do nothing you will accomplish nothing. We are to labor in good works (Matt. 5:14-16; 9:37-38; Acts 20:35; Eph. 4:28; 1 Thes. 1:3), labor for souls (Matt. 9:37-38),  labor for the word of God, (Matt. 11:28-30; Jn. 6:27; Heb. 4:11-12; 1 Tim. 5:17), and labor in prayers (Col. 4:12). God will reward you for  your labor (Rev. 22:12; 1 Cor. 15:58; Heb. 6:10).

Faith through giving. Faith invests, pays, spends and gives toward what it believes in. Achieving your goal requires money and resources (Eccl. 10:19). The enemy of Faith through giving is saving (Luk. 12:16-21). Currency is money that’s current and moving in a direction (Gen. 2:10-12). Your money should be moving in the direction of what you are believing in. Invest for profit (Matt. 25:14-30) Count the cost and be willing to pay the price before you start your goal (Lk. 14:28-30). Spend on yourself and enjoy the good of your labor (Eccl. 5:18) . Give to God and bring your tithes and offerings (Matt. 23:23; Mal. 3:6-12). Help those in need (Matt. 25:31-46; Acts 20:35; Prov. 19:17; 28:27). Give on earth and save in Heaven (Mat. 6:19-21; Luke 16:9).

Grow With God

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come (Mark 4:26-29).

Faith through increase. You were created for increase. God’s plan and purpose for you is to grow. Grow proportionally in family and work (Gen. 1:28; 30:43; Matt. 13:38; 2 Cor. 9:10), progressively to your destiny (Rom. 8:29-30; Jer. 1:5; Matt. 13:3), proximally in your relationship (2 Pet. 3:18; Lk. 8:11; Matt. 13:33), and promotionally in rank (Lk. 17:5-10; Matt. 17:20-21; Rev. 3:21). Grow one step at a time and one day at a time (Lk. 8:15). When you are faithful with the little you will be faithful in much (Lk. 16:10). The enemy of faith through increase is inconsistency (Lk. 18:1-8; Rev. 3:15-20; Matt. 6:1-16). Water  your seed continually and watch it grow (Lk. 8:6; Ps. 1:1-3; 1 Tim. 4:15; Jud. 1:20).

Day 10
Leave For God

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life (Matt. 19:27-29).

Image by Mantas Hesthaven

Faith through leaving. Leaving is an act of faith. There are seasons of change in life (Eccl. 3:1-8), a moment in which one must leave in order to live (Prov. 9:6; 28:13). Jesus left the ninety nine to save the one sheep (Matt. 18:12) A man leaves father and mother for marriage (Gen. 2:24). A soldier leaves family for battle (2 Tim. 2:3-4). A student leaves home for mentorship (Mk. 10:29). We leave the past to embrace the future (Phil. 3:13-14; Is. 43:18-19; 2 Cor. 5:17). The enemy of faith through leaving is comfort and fear (Heb. 11:27). Comfort of family, friends, familiarity, paycheck. Fear of failure, rejection or the unknown. Abraham left his country to obtain the land of promise (Genesis 12:1). The disciples left everything to follow Jesus.

Day 11
Stay Where God Is

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house (Luke 10:7)

Image by John Price

Faith through location. God made places before he made people (Gen. 2:8). He made the Garden of Eden and placed Adam and Eve there. Places are meant for support. A place can bring prosperity (Lk. 10:5-7; Heb. 11:9-10; Deut. 16:11; Ps. 1:1-3; 92:12-15). A place can bring healing (Jn. 5:2-9). Environment matters (Matt. 9:23-25). Where you are can make you or break you. Your body is the house of God and should be guarded (Jn. 2:19-21; Matt. 12:43-45; 1 Cor. 6:19-20). Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people (jn. 14:1-3; Heb. 11:13-16). The enemy of faith through location is wondering (Lk. 10:7; Gen. 4:12; Prov. 27:8). Faith builds a steady location (Luke 10:7). You were not made to be everywhere but you were made to be somewhere.

Day 12
Honor God and People

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him (John 5:23).

Image by Naassom Azevedo

Faith through honor. Honor begins in the heart (Matt. 15:8). Honor is putting the right value on someone or something (1 Cor. 12:23-24; 2 Tim. 2:10; Heb. 11:26). The enemy of faith through honor is familiarity (Matt. 13:54-57), poor assessment (Matt. 7:6) and pride (Matt. 18:10). Proper value must be placed on people, places and things. All houses, cars, and items are not the same value. Place a value on each moment (Lk 19:41-44). Honor everyone according to who they are (1 Pet. 2:17; 3:7; Rom. 13:7; 1 Tim. 5:3). Honor your parents (Luke 18:20). Honor those in leadership (1 Tim. 5:17-20). Honor yourself and take good care of your body (Rom. 2:7; 1 Thes. 4:4; 2 Tim. 2:21; 1 Cor. 11:4-5; Prov. 11:16). Honor God (Jn. 5:23; Prov 3:9). Learn to assess people and place the appropriate honor that’s due.

Dress For God

Faith through appearance. Looks matter. It’s part of your faith. People go by what they see so you must tailor your appearance for what you are believing in. Your appearance tells people what you believe. The enemy of faith through appearance is unsuited (Matt. 22:11-12). Dress the way you want to be addressed (Ex. 28:1-5). Dress for where you are going. Dress to blend, every environment has a dress code (Matt. 22:11-12; 1 Cor. 9:20-22). Dress for pleasure (Eccl. 5:18-20; Est. 2:12; 5:1). Dress for God and put on faith, love (1 Thes. 5:8), righteousness (Job 29:14; Eph. 6:14; Is 61:10), holiness  (Eph. 4:24), humility (Col. 3:12; 1 Pet. 5:5) and meekness (1 Pet. 3:3-4). Put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 13:14).

Day 14
Show Others the Way to God

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have (Luke 8:11-18).

Faith through presentation. Every business markets its products. They present their product or service to potential customers. Seeing is believing. Some people will not believe except they see (Jn 4:46-54; 20:20, 24-29). It’s our responsibility to present Jesus to people (Rom. 10:14, 17; Matt. 11:4; Lk. 8:1, 39). You are the light of the world (Matt. 5:14-15).  People see the light of God through you. Go where they are (Mark 16:15-18). Be wise as a serpent and harmless as doves (Matt. 10:16; Jn. 7:1-13). Present Jesus to people and give them hope (Prov. 13:12; 15:4; Col. 4:6). Be a witness. The enemy of faith through presentation is ignorance (Prov. 11:30) and fear (Luk. 12:1-12). Fear of rejection, failure, danger, etc. Many are lost and don’t know the way. Show people the Way (Jn. 14:6).

Day 15
Steward God's Possessions

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath (Luke 12:42-44).

Faith through stewardship. A Steward is a manager or guardian of someone else’s possessions. God designates individuals to steward His wealth to take care of His needs  (Matt. 20:1-9; 25:14-30; Lk. 8:1-3; 10:1-8; 16:1-13; Eccl. 10:18-19; 1 Pet. 4:9-10), steward His word to preach and teach (Matt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15-18; Gal. 4:1; 1 Cor. 4:1; 9:17), steward His watch time to intercede in prayer (Lk. 12:35-46; Hab. 2:1; Eph. 1:10), steward His flock to watch over their soul (Jn. 21:15-17; Heb. 13:17; Gal. 4:2; Tit. 1:7; Eph. 3:2; Col. 1:25) and steward His power to heal the sick and deliver the oppressed (Matt. 10:1; Acts 3:11). The enemy of faith through stewardship is slothfulness and wickedness (Matt. 25:14-30). To be a candidate of God’s steward, one must be willing to be used by God (2 Tim. 2:21) and have a diligent work ethic (Prov. 12:24; 27; 18:9; 19:15).

Day 16
Identify With God

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven (Matt. 10:32-33).

Image by Alexis Brown

Faith through identification. One type of identification is branding. A brand is a product manufactured with a particular name, associating it with a company (Prov. 22:28). God marks those that are His (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:13; 4:30; Ez. 9:4; Phil. 3:17). By our love for one another and living a life of holiness we are branded with the name of Christ (Jn. 13:35; 2 Tim. 2:19; Acts 11:26). We are to identify with Christ and confess him to the public (Matt. 10:32-33; 26:69-75; Gal. 6:17). The enemy of faith through identification is persecution (Matt. 10:16-24; 34-39). You create enemies whenever you identify with a certain group of people, place or thing. Persecution can come through family, friends, co-workers, society, etc. Confess Christ and don’t be afraid to identify with Him.  Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God (Phil. 3:13).
