So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham (Galatians 3:9).
The Bible describes Abraham as a very wealthy man (Genesis 13:2). He however didn’t become rich by hard work alone or by good luck. Hebrews 11:8 says, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” In other words, Abraham became great by faith. He took the faith way up! We are the children of Abraham, therefore we also must take the faith way up; the life we live now must be by faith (Galatians 2:20).
Faith in God and in His Word gives you tremendous results in all your endeavours. Without faith, it’s impossible to please God because anyone that comes to Him must believe that He is the One Who supplies, heals, provides and rewards (Hebrews 11:6).
The Bible says through faith the elders obtained a good report (Hebrews 11:2). Meaning that the elders took the faith way up! Extraordinary miracles were done through them because they acted on the Word of God. Through faith, they “…subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions” (Hebrews 11:33). You also can equally get a job, pay your bills, and live in health, victory and success everyday as you live by faith in the Word.
The Word declares that they which are of faith are the children of Abraham (Galatians 3:7), and, the promises of God were made to Abraham and his seed (Galatians 3:16). That includes YOU; so like father Abraham, take the faith way to the top!
Confession
I’m an heir of God, a joint heir with Christ, a co-inheritor of the Abrahamic blessings. My life is regulated and conducted upward and forward, for I walk by faith and not by sight! I’m taking the faith way to the top! Divine health, victory, prosperity and success are my present-hour inheritance because I have the faith of God. Hallelujah.

Hebrews 11:32-34: And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: [33] Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, [34] Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Hebrews 11:1-2: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [2] For by it the elders obtained a good report.
