Practical Keys To Creating Wealth

Faith is incredible at its best, even the demons believe and tremble,
yet the other arm of it has to be coupled with the work that will
qualify us for approval and thus fulfilling the scripture.

The following scripture captures this very well:-

“But someone will say, “You have faith: I have deeds” Show me
your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my
deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons
believe that –and shudder, you foolish person, do you want
evidence that faith without deeds is useless, was not our father
Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered
his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and actions were

working together, and his faith was made complete by what he
did, and the scripture was fulfilled that says “Abraham believed
God, and it was credited to him as righteousness and was called
God’s friend” James 2:18-23 [MSG]

Both faith and the application of faith by what man needs to do to
put it into action all play a role as far as putting our faith and works
into play.

The extreme of either of the two will then make the other fail and
the equilibrium is best reached when we have the balancing effect.
The question then would be;-

What is the relation between faith and works in the subject of wealth
and the practical ways of getting it?
