Let’s take a deeper dive in to…
What is Faith Challenge?
A faith challenge happens in a situation after you had believed the word of God pertaining to something and you’re now expecting God to bring it to pass but something or the Devil is now saying it won’t be yours. Beloved in Christ Jesus you had accepted God’s word concerning such thing and expected it to occur but something or somebody is hindering you from getting such things.
The Bible says in the Book of : John 6:37; Luke 1:37; Mark 9:23; Romans 10:9–10; II Corinthians 4:13; Romans 3:4 (If you believe in your heart expect that thing to be yours).
What is The Meaning of Challenge?
The word challenge mean to threaten. Anything that threaten your faith and confident assurance in God’s word is a challenge. The word challenge mean to raise a formal objection. The word challenge mean to contest — something that says opposite to what God’s says in your life. God says you’re moving forward that thing says you’re moving backward. God says your are going up but that thing says otherwise.

The Things Faith Challenge Will Cost You
- Faith Challenge is meant to change your thinking; Proverbs 23:7: The Devil will try to challenge you and change your thinking (II Corinthians 10:3–5). Every faith challenge is meant to challenge your thoughts: Jeremiah 4:14; Psalm 94:10; Philippines 4:8 (Your thinking is very important. That is why God tells us how to think).
- Every faith challenge is out to change your vocabulary or change the way you speak: Brothers and sisters the Devil know the way you speak is what put you off. The Scripture says in Psalm 34:12; Proverbs 13:3, 21:23; Psalm 34:1; Psalm 89:1. Brethren it was not the stone that David use to killed Goliath. The Bible says in I Samuel 17:45: The double edge sword came out of the mouth of David.
- Faith challenge is meant to cause you distraction: The Devil know the power behind focus (Psalm 16:8; Psalm 25:15; Isaiah 45:22).
- Faith challenge is meant to scare you: The Devil want you to be full of fear. Fear and faith cannot work together. Faith will make you stand firm while fear will make you fall flat. The word “fear” surface in the Bible 365 times. On the contrary, the word “faith” appears 336 times in the King James version. Other Bible versions have different counts. When the Devil fights he creates fear because he knows fear will mess you up.
- Faith challenge is meant to slow you down, bring you down and if possible stop you: The Devil know you’re moving at a speed of light. The Bible says in Hebrew 12:1 — Is there anything that weighs you down after you had believed the word of God?
Faith challenge is meant to give you something else apart from what you believe in: In the Book of Genesis 15:12–16 (When God said this to Abraham, he passed it down Isaac. Isaac passed it down to Jacob. Jacob passed it down to his sons. Everyone of them now realized that there’s something God knows about their future and the promise of God for them. Many times what you go through in life is not something that is unexpected. In the Book of 1 Peter 4:12; Psalm 34 19; II Peter 2:9. Several times when our faith is challenge or put to a test , people will say it is better they quit.
Being a child of God won’t make you free of challenges: Philippians 1:29; 1 Peter 4: 16 and 19; II Timothy 3:12.
To sum up, the children of Israel went down to Egypt. According to Exodus 1:7 they increased and multiply abundantly according to the word of God. But a time came when they went through serious problem. Know this! No problem lasts forever! Exodus 3:7–8; I Peter 3:12; Psalm 11:4; Psalm 33:14; II Chronicles 16:9; Psalm 94:9. It is one thing for God to see what is challenging you and to know it. HE says I’m about to initiate an action (Proverbs 20:12; Psalm 1:8; Job 23:10).
You don’t get something from God because you’re in the faith for a long time. Your faith will be challenged whether you like it or not.
