This is the first prophetic teaching sermon of four leading to Christmas and our prophetic New Year expectations of faith.  God, the giver of life gives each of us a designated measure of faith.  He either places materials in our hands with faith attached, or faith in our hearts with physical materials attached.  We must be about our Father’s business if we expect increase in either case!  You will submit better to God, be willing to work with Him in resisting the devil, not giving in to the devil’s deceit, when you seek to manage your faith as a good Christian steward can and should.
