A message that will change your life

...because it changed mine

Before You Read This, Try Something…

Take a deep breath in.
Now breathe out.

How much did that cost you?
How many “good deeds” did you have to check off a list before you earned it?

Exactly.
Sometimes, the most priceless things come to us freely. And if that’s not proof that God is good, I don’t know what is.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Last Saturday, I talked a little about faith. And well, here I am again. I’ve got something else to say, and I think it might help someone.

One thing I’ve noticed about faith is this:
It doesn’t really stretch its legs until there’s a demand on it.
Faith starts looking like a real superpower the moment you dare to believe in something that makes absolutely no logical sense. You know, like the type of plans you can’t even share with your friends because they'll definitely make you look like you are out of your mind. That kind of faith.

The kind of faith that gets you like this, unshakable

But let me ask you:
When last did you actually use your faith?

I don’t mean that “If I read well, I’ll pass my exams” kind of faith. That’s logic and effort.
I mean the bold, irrational “I don’t even know what I’m getting into, but I’ll succeed regardless” kind. The kind that defies strategy and statistics. The one that scares you a little because you know it’s not you—it’s God working through you.

Yes, yes, I know faith without works is dead.
So action is important.
But sometimes, the problem isn’t action.
The problem is that we don't even believe enough to act in the first place.

And you know what's even crazier?
Many of us don’t just doubt our own abilities, we doubt the power of our faith.
We don’t even realiise what we’re carrying.

Let me put it this way:
It’s one thing not to have power.
It’s worse to have power and not know you do.

Imagine this:
You want to attend a big concert. And your friend, who works backstage, gets you a VIP ticket. Not just any ticket—backstage access. Full access. Go anywhere, do anything.
But you never check the fine print.
So you spend the whole concert squinting at row numbers and hunting for seat 36B like a regular attendee.
Meanwhile, the party is happening backstage—with drinks, food, selfies with the artist—and you missed it.
All because you didn’t know what was in your hands.

That’s how many of us are with God.

He’s given us access.
He’s handed over authority.
He’s said, “You can move mountains. You can speak to storms. You can heal, command, create, and conquer.”
But instead, we play small. We hide behind “realism” and “common sense.” We wait to see before we believe.

It reminds me of my dad.
Growing up, he’d often take me and my sister shopping.
But it was always the same drill—we just followed him around the store, helped him pick stuff off his list, and waited till he paid for everything.
But one day… everything changed.
He handed us the shopping cart and said, “Get whatever you want.”
Just like that.

No budget briefing. No warnings. Just pure freedom.

And in that moment, do you think we paused to worry about who would pay?
Nope.
We grabbed what we liked with pure, childlike belief that if Daddy said it’s covered—it’s covered.

That’s the kind of audacity God wants us to walk in.
Not the one powered by pride, but the one powered by faith.
That mustard seed-sized belief that your Heavenly Father meant it when He said "Ask, and you shall receive.”

So today, I’m reminding you, and myself, that faith isn't just for spiritual gymnastics or Sunday services.
It's for life. For action. For movement.
And it starts now.

Because the worst thing isn’t that we don’t have enough.
It’s that we’ve already been given everything we need—and we’re still living like we don’t.

Till next time, Sage…
