Faith

What is faith? According to Hebrews 11:1(NIV); Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

As a believer, faith is one of the most important part of the Armour of God as the scripture says in Ephesians 6:16- Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

The word ‘Above all’, means that faith is the most important aspect of one’s life.
