Have you ever wondered how strong a smokers faith is?
Imagine a smoker who doesn’t have a dime but is really wanting to smoke, where do you think he goes to?
His smoker friends of course, he goes to hook up with friends because his faith is so strong that he’ll definitely get at least a stick of cigarette to smoke. And he doesn’t get disappointed, he might even get more than a stick, and the most interesting thing is that he will not even ask, instead, he’ll be offered.
Now, that’s what’s exactly called FAITH.
A man who really wants to take alcohol but doesn’t have a dime, the only thing he has to do is, go and hang out with friends at the bar, he’ll be the one that’ll get tired of the alcohol. He doesn’t have a dime, but he has faith that he’ll get not just a bottle of beer, but he might get drunk if care is not taken.
Now, That’s FAITH.
An hungry and poor man who is so hungry decided to go to his religious worship center might not get food at that time, he’ll get disappointed. His pastor might tell him to pray (imagine telling an hungry man to pray), he’ll loose the little faith he has in him.
A case was reported of a very hungry man who hasn’t eaten for a day, he was so famished that he’s ready to eat whatever comes his way, he’s ready to do anything reasonable or unreasonable just to get food. Then he spotted his pastor from afar, he ran to meet him to tell him his predicament, the pastor was so sad on hearing his story, so he decided to pray for him on the road.
After several minutes of prayers, the hungry man’s eyes were wide open, he wasn’t even concentrating on the prayers, the pastor began to sweat while praying then he dipped his hands into his pocket to bring out an handkerchief to wipe his sweat, behold! some money came out along the handkerchief and fell to the ground, the hungry man on seeing the money, he quickly picked it up and hid it inside his pocket.
This is now a case of Faith vs Hunger

Now, the questions are:
If you’re in his position,
will you call the pastors attention to the money?
Will you give the pastor the money?
Is what you did morally right?
