Redemption entitles believers to experience continuous turnaround until they emerge in greatness Jn. 1:12; Pro. 4:18. Scriptures show that faith is the kingdom force that stirs turnaround Mk. 9:23: 1Jn. 5:4. If faith is this powerful, why are believers faced with challenges that seems to defy solutions? It is often due to lack of understanding of faith, and how to activate it Pro. 13:15.
