Faith should be Progressive.

Jesus Christ taught His disciples about faith and their prayer request was to increase their faith. (Luke 17:5). Believer's life are based upon their faith and their faith should be stand firm on the rock Jesus Christ (1 Cor 16:13). Faith should be grounded and steadfast (Col 1:22-23pt), abounding in everything (2 Cor 8:7) and to continue in faith (Acts 14:22). Be strong in faith (Romans 4: 21-24). Where there is growing knowledge of God and of the fullness and faithfulness of His Word in our heart, faith will grow in exceedingly. The more you have faith in Christ and His word, the more you have victorious, successful, prosperous, satisfied life among believers.
