Chapter 7

by Praise Malinga

The manifestation gift of faith is a supernatural ability given by the Holy Spirit, enabling a believer to trust God for extraordinary things, often beyond human possibility. This gift is distinct from the measure of faith God gives to every believer for growth and development (Romans 12:3).

The manifestation gift of faith is the Holy Spirit working through a person, demonstrating His own faith to accomplish a specific task or bring about a particular outcome. It's a faith that operates under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, often producing remarkable results and inspiring others to deepen their trust in God.

As it is written in 1 Corinthians 12:9, "And to another faith by the same Spirit;" This gift is a demonstration of God's power and presence, meant to edify the church and encourage believers to rise to a higher level of faith.

Characteristics of the Gift of Faith

• Supernatural faith: The gift of faith is a supernatural ability to trust God for extraordinary things.
• Anointed faith: This gift operates under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, producing remarkable results.
• Inspiring: The gift of faith is meant to inspire and encourage others to deepen their trust in God.
• Exceeds normal faith: This gift often goes beyond normal faith, demonstrating God's power and presence.

Example in Scripture

A great example of the gift of faith is when our Lord Jesus Christ instructed Peter to catch a fish and find the money to pay the temple tax in its mouth (Matthew 17:24-27). This was a supernatural demonstration of faith, showing God's provision and care for His people.

When to expect it?

The gift of faith can be expected when the church is in need of a breakthrough, and believers are called to trust God for extraordinary things. It's a gift that inspires and equips the church to accomplish God's purposes.
