Rhapsody of Realities 29 August 2025: Keep Building and Using Your Faith
SCRIPTURE: Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
Faith, like fire, has a natural tendency to dissipate if it’s not sustained. Fire consumes its source, and if you don’t keep feeding it, it eventually goes out. It’s the same with faith. You’re responsible for building your faith; feed it for it to grow, and constantly use it for it to remain strong.
You feed your faith by hearing and receiving more of God’s Word into your spirit, for faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). But you build your faith strong by putting it to work, by using it. So, to sustain the fire of your faith, you have to keep adding more “material,” that is, more of God’s Word. You must keep feeding your spirit with the Word.
Your faith shouldn’t remain at one level; our opening scripture talks about building up yourself on your most holy faith. The Amplified Classic renders it thus, “But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit.” This means the highest level of faith you may have attained isn’t the end; you have to keep building on it.

Don’t let your journey of faith become a mere memory of how you once walked in great faith. No! Remember, the Christian life is from glory to glory, grace to grace, and faith to faith—ever-increasing faith! Growing in Christ means your faith gets stronger; you have the faith of the fathers; faith that’s deep, tested, proven and victorious through trials; faith that always prevails. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
My faith is strong and always prevails because I put it to work and feed it always with the Word. I walk in perpetual victory. Thank you, heavenly Father, for even now, I build myself on my most holy faith as I pray in the Holy Ghost. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Romans 10:17
17 So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).
Acts 20:32
32 And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor]. It is able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul).
James 2:18-26
18 But someone will say [to you then], You [say you] have faith, and I have [good] works. Now you show me your [alleged] faith apart from any [good] works [if you can], and I by [good] works [of obedience] will show you my faith.
19 You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as make a man’s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin]!
20 Are you willing to be shown [proof], you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from [good] works is inactive and ineffective and worthless?
21 Was not our forefather Abraham [shown to be] justified (made acceptable to God) by [his] works when he brought to the altar as an offering his [own] son Isaac?
22 You see that [his] faith was cooperating with his works, and [his] faith was completed and reached its supreme expression [when he implemented it] by [good] works.
23 And [so] the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God’s will in thought and deed), and he was called God’s friend.
24 You see that a man is justified (pronounced righteous before God) through what he does and not alone through faith [through works of obedience as well as by what he believes].
25 So also with Rahab the harlot—was she not shown to be justified (pronounced righteous before God) by [good] deeds when she took in the scouts (spies) and sent them away by a different route?
26 For as the human body apart from the spirit is lifeless, so faith apart from [its] works of obedience is also dead.
