Advancing in Faith, As Time Advances
Scripture Focus:
"The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day."
— Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
Devotional Message:
Time waits for no one — but neither does faith.
Every new season comes with new battles, and God expects our faith to grow as life moves forward. Faith that stood still yesterday cannot win today’s war.
We live in a world where uncertainty increases daily: economic pressure, cultural confusion, spiritual distractions. Yet, God calls us not just to survive, but to advance — in boldness, discernment, and obedience.
Faith Must Be Progressive. Like the children of Israel had to move forward toward the Promised Land, we cannot stay stuck in yesterday’s faith levels.
"We walk by faith, not by sight."
— 2 Corinthians 5:7
This is a walk — not a pause.
The fact that you once trusted God for healing, breakthrough, promotion etc in the past and received them doesn’t mean years later a new kind of battle — not physical, but emotional won't shake your faith like you haven't known God before.
If you rely only on past victories, you may falter. Yesterday's faith isn't sufficient for today's battle. The devil isn't static, he advances with new strategies each day. To quench his attacks per time, believers need to advance in faith per time as well.
Winning a battle today is not a call to relax. We must grow our faith for each moment. Faith must keep pace with time.
"redeeming the time, because the days are evil." — Eph.5.16
How to Advance in Faith Today:
- Feed it daily – Through the Word and testimonies.
- Stretch it intentionally – Trust God for things beyond your comfort zone.
- Speak it boldly – Declare what you believe, not what you fear.
- Anchor it deeply – Let it root in God's character, not in changing circumstances.
Reflection:
Are you advancing in faith, or stuck in past victories and old fears?
