Faith Is Measurable
"When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them
that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not
in Israel" (Matthew 8:10).
A centurion came to Jesus on behalf of his sick servant. When Jesus said, "I will come and heal him" (Matthew 8:7), the centurion answered, "speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed" (v. 8). Jesus said to him, "Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee" (v. 13). Turning to His disciples, Jesus said, "I have not found so GREAT faith, no, not in Israel" (v. 10).
Therefore, it is possible for a person to develop great faith.
On the other hand, an example of little faith is seen when Peter began to sink after having walked on the water. Jesus chided Peter, saying, "O thou of LITTLE faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" (Matthew 14:31).
If faith can be great, and faith can be little, then faith is measurable!
Here are some scriptures that prove faith is measurable:
Growing faith (2 Thessalonians 1:3)
Weak faith (Romans 4:19)
Strong faith (Romans 4:20)
Rich faith (James 2:5)
Full of faith (Acts 6:5)
Perfect faith (James 2:22)
Unfeigned faith (1 Timothy 1:5)
Shipwrecked faith (1 Timothy 1:19)
Overcoming faith (1 John 5:4).
Confession: My faith is growing. My faith is measuring up to a great faith, strong faith, rich faith, perfect faith, unfeigned faith, overcoming faith; I am full of faith!

Amen! Make the decision that you will do whatever it takes to grow your faith into all of the overcoming characteristics of great Bible faith! The only limits to faith are what we put upon ourselves by our choices! Let's GO! Here is Hillsong with "Faith":
