INTRODUCTION

Faith is the foundation of the Christian life and the currency through which we access the blessings of the Kingdom. In the natural world, money is used to acquire goods and services, but in the spiritual realm, faith is what grants us access to God's promises. The Bible makes it clear that faith is not optional—it is essential. Without faith, we cannot please God or experience His supernatural power in our lives.

Jesus often emphasised faith as the key to receiving miracles, overcoming challenges, and fulfilling divine purpose. From healing the sick to calming the storm, His ministry demonstrated that faith is the bridge between the natural and the supernatural. When we operate in faith, we move beyond human limitations and step into divine possibilities.

In this study, we will explore the significance of faith as the currency of the Kingdom and how we can develop and apply it in our daily lives to experience God's fullness.
