The currency in the kingdom of God is faith.
“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality–faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].” – Hebrews 11 vs 1 AMP
Faith can only really be applied to receive all that which is offered by God.
For example:
You cannot go to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and demand a pizza even though you are offering all the money in the world. They will not give it to you because they do not offer it… KFC would surely be impressed by your offer and could take your money, but they will not make for you a pizza in return.
In the same way, God appreciates and is pleased by faith, but He cannot give you what you demand in faith if He is not offering that ‘thing’ (that which you have faith for).
“But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.” – Hebrews 11 vs 6 AMP
To illustrate it further. I know that if I have R50, I ‘have’ a loaf of bread at the shop, because I have what it takes to own that bread… R50. If I go to the shop, offer what I have then I will receive the loaf of bread in return.
If I have faith in God then I really have all He offers according to my measure of faith.
“…God has apportioned to each a degree of faith…” – Romans 12 vs 3 AMP
In conclusion, whatever God desires to give, you can be sure to receive it, if of course you have the faith for it 😉
This is faith and this is The Kingdom’s Currency!
