    What Is Faith Series

    Contributed by Caleb Onwuka on Oct 16, 2014

    Faith is the victory, the distance between your wishes and your accomplishments is your work of faith. The time you would spend on waiting is the building of your faith to receive the answer.

FAITH is the active expression of these two things right now even before you get there. For example: You would not sit down on the bus and start saying "what if the driver ...read more
