In the order the universe was established, to materialize a thought or creation it must first be vividly imagined and willed into existence through trials and failures. It is the depth of our imagination and the strength of our will that ultimately determines the magnitude of our successes.
'He that has faith just like the size of a mustard seed will say to this mountain move and it will' in the whole of ancient Israel and even including jesus' apostles there was none with a faith like that if a gentile military commander who Jesus cured his sick one without going to his home. He displayed tremendous faith.
In the circular world, you need faith to be successful. As an entrepreneur your whole plan and permutations are solely based on facts and the faith you have that it will succeed! It has frequencies. It not the same in everyone. But the good news is it could be cultivated. The Christian faith works much the same. The total and unquestionable believe in things hoped for or not yet seen.

Esau was a hunter, wild and strong but I doubt if he had the determination of Jacob, if he had the faith that Jacob had in the things he worshipped and the ones of the God whom his father served!
