Add to your Faith
2 Pet 1:5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

God Almighty has dealt to every man who is born again the measure of faith.
Faith ...pistis..gk, means ...persuation, ...moral conviction of the truthfulness of God, ...reliance upon Christ for salvation, ...constancy in such profession, ...assurance, ...belief, ...believe, ...faith, ...fidelity,.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1
In other words, faith is reliance on the Word of promise from God which cannot lie or change and Holding on to the truthfulness of God's Word and constancy in such profession.
Apostle Peter admonishes us to Add ...epichoregeo..gk, meaning ...to furnish besides, ...fully supply, ...aid, ...contribute, ...add, ...minister, to your faith.
In other words, contribute and fully supply to your faith to hold on to God's Word of promise. Grow your faith and make it strong.
Faith is not transferable but it must arise out of each person's heart. Therefore give all diligence to add to your faith.
How?
By hearing more of God's Word because faith is produced from hearing.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Rom 10:17
Many a Christian today refuse to hear from God but are quick to hear all other news.
Aid your faith, that is help your faith to be strong by putting in systems around you to aid your faith grow. Increase your faith because it is only faith that pleases God who will respond to your needs and wants.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6
Faith is a spiritual currency we use to purchase things in the unseen community of which Jesus is the Head and make them real or have the substance now in our lives.
Therefore how much of this currency you have in your account is what you will use to put for a demand. The fatter your account the more you receive from your demand and move greater mountains.
How constant is your profession of faith. Faith is living or doing the Word and meditation in the Word brings revelation and holding on to the truthfulness of the Word of God which is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Heb 4:14
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;). Heb 10:23
Beloved, minister to your faith and cause it be made strong.
Stay blessed
