God's communication link

When God wants to DEFEND you, you must be a carrier of God.
When God Defends you, NO ONE can be against you, because you are a carrier of God.

If you are a Child of God, you are under a NEW MANAGEMENT!!! Old things have passed away.

You prayers should always be -

  1. Lord make me a Carrier of You.
  2. Father, let goodness and mercy cover my back throughout tis year and forever more.

Always remember that No matter the frequency you are operating on, for you to fully seamlessly connect and communicate directly with God, you must be Pure in heart, and in all your doings, for a carrier of Jehovah must be a PURE vessel.

Always keep your communication link with God free by constantly purging out all your sins and asking for forgiveness at all times.

A New Song

Do not for a new song this year, but pray that God will help you remember the SONG(s) He has put in your mind and lips this year.

If your partner with God, you will never regret it. Remember that:
If you are not Grateful to God, you are a GREAT FOOL

12 Secrets of long life

As a continuation to the series of Covenant - the secret of long life, I wish to present to you the 12 Secrets of long life (Psalms 34 verse 1 – 12)

If you want to live long;
  1. You MUST seek God at ALL times. (Vs 10) (Mathew 6:38)
  2. You MUST free yourself from fear. (vs 4): The enemy wants to always harass you and if you fall for his constant tricks, he will get you. But if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and know that you are an overcomer, you will have VICTORY
  3. You MUST constantly / continually look unto God at all times (vs 5): Do not allow your focus to be shifted from God. 
  4. You MUST free yourself from troubles. – Life would have been too monotonous and very boring if there are no challenges. 
  5. You MUST fear God always (vs 7). 
  6. You MUST trust in God (vs 8). 
  7. You MUST free yourself from unnecessary WANTS, from lust and unholy desires (Vs 9). 
  8. You MUST control your tongue (vs 12 – 13). – Lets watch our tongues this year. 
  9. You MUST depart from all forms of evil. 
  10. You MUST seek and pursue GOOD at all times. 
  11. You MUST live a life of brokenness and humility. 
  12. When you place your TOTAL TRUST in God, He prospers you. (vs 9). – whatever career, field of learning, occupation you find yourself in, the moment you trust God fully, he is able to prosper you. 
I don’t know about you, but my LIFE is very important; my BREATH is also very important to me, so is my BLOOD. I don’t know whose life has been considered DEAD. I don’t know whose life has been said to be dead and long gone. But as far as the Lord lives, just as “dry bones rose in the days of old (Ezekiel 7 vs 1 – 3), your life will rise again.

Has your life, business, profession been written off? – I bring you good news today – your life, business, career will come alive in the mighty name of Jesus.

Open your mouth right now and prophesy into your life:
My life (………. Pup your name…………), I prophesy to you, hear the Sovereign Lord!! “I will put breath into you, and you will LIVE” 
  • Pray for the fresh breath of life upon your life so that you may live and not die. 
  • Lord sustain me as a living soul. 
  • Father, every dead career, dead situations, please breathe your BREATH of LIFE upon it, and let it come alive. 
  • That situation that has defied human solution, I say “in the Name of Jesus, come ALIVE”. My health, my Dreams, my aspirations, my Godly plans, my Godly desires, my Visions, come ALIVE!!!.

Convenant - the secret of long life

God is a covenant keeping God. Convenant is an agreement between two or more people/beings.
God can make or enter a convenant with Man and Man with God. Man can also enter into a convenant with the devil either knowingly or unknowingly.

Kinds of convenants
  • Convenant between God and man: God made a convenant with Abraham, even though he was an idol worshiper, but because of the convenant he had with God, God enlarged his cost and made his descendants like the dust of the earth.
  • Convenant between Man and fellow man: King David made a convenant with Jonathan, and he kept his words. Ruth also made a convenant with Naomi and she followed her till death.
  • Convenant between Man and God: Jacob entered into a convenant with God. He wrestled with God and declared that He will never leave God until He blesses him, and because of his persistence, God blessed him, and changed his name from Jacob to Israel.
  • Convenant between Man and Satan: Many people go into convenants with the devil both in secret, knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. They do all possible best to keep or live a secret life, but spiritually they are like dead logs of wood. The devils main job on earth is SKD – Steal, Kill and Destroy.
To have life is to:
  • ..be spiritually fulfilled 
  • ..be personally fulfilled 
  • .. be financially fulfilled 
  • ..be mentally fulfilled.
Therefore we should refuse all things that will make us not live a fulfilled life.
The reason David lived a fulfilled life was because he constantly renews his convenant with God. Every time King David sins against God; he always humbles himself before God and asks for forgiveness. Through Praise and prayers, King David constantly renews his convenant with God.

There are two major ingredients that make up our Lives that are very important to God.
  1. The breath we take: According to Genesis 1 Vs 26 – 29; Life began from the Biblical creation. Of all the creatures of God, man is the direct duplicate of god – “in his own image he created man”. Man ONLY became a living being after God breath into him. Thus without the breath of God, we are nothing. What makes’ a man Great are not the earthly possessions, but the breath of God he has in him. 
  2. The Blood that runs through our veins and arteries: According to Leviticus 17 vs 11; “The life of a Creation is in the blood”. Blood is so precious to God.
These two elements are very vital to a human being, and what the enemy wants is to take either of it from you. But the bible has already given us a forewarning about the situation, thus we need to be extreme vigilant and constantly renew our convenants with God always.

Master Key to Divine Help

Man can be helpless and we need help in certain situations and circumstances, but God is always there to help us once we call on him.

God's help is from above and it is superior to any other help. There is no man that can make it in life without God's help either directly or through benefactors. Benefactors are people that God put on our ways (journey through life). God can help man Directly or Indirectly through the Angels or fellow human beings.

Angels:
God can help you through the assistance of Angels. three (3) Angels visited Abraham. Because of his life of hospitality, he was blessed of God. because God was in their midst, Abraham and Sarah were helped.

Pastors, Prophets:
God can use your Pastors, Prophets etc to help you. (-1 Samuel 7 vs. 5). God has planted them there for your purpose. Samuel cried out to God on behalf of Israel and god heard his prayers and helped the Israelites.
However, if you want God to help you, you have lots of responsibilities to perform.
Obedience: Obedience is the trigger for every divine help.
There are several examples of people who were obedient and the result that they got.
  • John 2:1-11: When the wine at the marriage supper finished, the Disciples of Jesus were told to do something, and because they obeyed, Jesus performed a Miracle.
  • John 9:1-11: The blind man obeyed Jesus and his eyes were restored.
  • 1 Kings 17:9-16: The woman of Zarephath obeyed and at the end, she received multiples of miracles and never knew any lack.
  • 2 Kings 5:1-19: Naaman was asked to just do a simple task and pride would have made him loose his healing, but reason prevailed, he obeyed and was made whole.
For you to perpetually enjoy divine help, you need to be very obedient. Whatever  that is considered DEAD in your life, with help, God is calling it to life today in Jesus Name.

You must identify where your help would come from. In Mark 5:21-37, the Synagogue Ruler did not go anywhere else but to Jesus; he must have heard about the works of Jesus. He knew where his help would come from.

The woman with the issue of blood made up her mind to touch the garment of Jesus and she received her healing instantly.

I don't know what you have been hoping for or what you may have been suffering from, but if you propose in your heart and ask for help, Jesus will surely help you.

I don't know the situation you are in and people have been laughing at you, I want you to know that Jesus is alive and ready to help you.

The Woman with the issue of blood suffered for 12 years and Jarus's daughter was also 12 years old according to the scriptures, thus in this 12th Month of the Year, God is telling someone to COME Alive today!!! be it your Finances, Destiny, Health, Career, Immigration Status etc. You must be sensitive to the word of God and whatever the Spirit of God tells you to do, you must do so without hesitation.

When God is ready to help you, He will help you beyond your imaginations. When God decides to help you in a certain area, don't just assume that is the end, it might just be the beginning of a change in your destiny.

The Master Helper
 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, New King James Version)
  • Obedience is the key to provoking Divine help.
  • Divine help requires obedience;
  • Obedience requires illumination;
  • Illumination requires the Power of the Holy Spirit.
  • The Holy Spirit is the Master Helper.
  • The Holy Spirit is the ROOT of divine Help.
  • The Holy Spirit teaches Us all things;
  • The Holy Spirit abides with Us forever.
  • The Holy Spirit is Our Comforter.
For you to receive Divine Help, you must be Obedient to the Master Helper - The Holy Spirit.

Your prayer(s) should be:
  • Father help me Oh Lord, I raise my voice to you; I recognise that you are the only one to help me.
  • Help me Oh Lord according to your Word in Isaiah 43:19
19   Behold, I will do a new thing,  
      Now it shall spring forth;
      Shall you not know it?
      I will even make a road in the wilderness
      And rivers in the desert.
       (Isaiah 43:19, New King James Version)
  • Father this is your season of favour, Answer me Oh Lord.

Things that destroy Godly Relationships

The moment we know the Rules of Godly Relationship, its very important that we take some time out to know what we should try to avoid doing or the life when must try to avoid living in order not to destroy the Godly relationship we have.

Things that destroy Godly Relationships

There are many things that destroy Godly relationship, which among them will include:
  • Fornication
  • Lying
  • Unfaithfulness
  • Covetousness
  • Drunkeness
  • and the list is endless.
Other things may include:
  1. Wrong attitude to / or perception of the opposite s-e-x.
  2. Covetousness destroys life and brings bitterness. This ultimately leads to being parasitic, and having a parasitic relationship is not good at all.
  3. Premature timing for relationships can be a kill joy. Timing is a number one rule in Life.
  4. Backsliding / poor knowledge of the word of God.
  5. When there is no Holy Ghost in any relationship, that relationship is doomed to fail.
The Holy Ghost is a comforter, a friend, a teacher in any relationship. If you ever want to have a great relationship, I will suggest you ask the Holy Spirit for an advice and teaching.

Levels of Relationship

There are various levels of Relationship that you have to be aware of.
  • The relationship between God and You.
  • The relationship between You and Your Parents.
  • The relationship between You and your School / Course Mates / Friends.
  • The relationship between You and A FRIEND. (One that is closer than a Brother).
  • The relationship between You and that Special ONE (1).
In all your relationships, make sure its Godly and always ask the Holy Ghost to help you out, and stay Blessed.

Kingdom Commitment

The first thing you would ask yourself is "What is Commitment?"
Commitment could be defined as "In-dept or total involvement in anything one does".
Having said that, what then is Kingdom Commitment?
On can say that Kingdom Commitment is "being zealous in the things of God with knowledge", or simply put, Kingdom Commitment is "being totally involved in the work of the Kingdom of God"
Like Jesus made us to understand in the book of Luke 9:62, Kingdom Commitment is the Main Key to everything you want in the Kingdom of God.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62, New King James Version)
Why must you be committed to God's Kingdom?
  1. In the Kingdom business, there is no slothfulness.
    1. You must make sure that you have overcome all level of laziness in you. (1 Cor 15:58)
    2. You must be very steadfast in all you do.
    3. You must be immovable and always abounding in your work for the Lord, with the knowledge that every work you do for God is never in vain.
  2. Salvation is not a cheap thing. Therefore its important that you strive to "work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12)
  3. You must be very mindful of every step you take in life, every thing you do or say etc. Its important you guide and guard your lips, and think before you talk.
  4. The Coming of Jesus Christ is at Hand.
    • You have to be watchful of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Make sure you live each day as if Jesus is coming the next minute. Be anxious for nothing, but remember that in all things, you have the key to effective communication with God through Prayer and supplication.
You may have noted that I said "Effective Communication With God". This is because many of us forget that Prayer is a two-way Communication. Whenever you go to God in prayers, always wait to hear from him. It is not good to just heap all your requests to God without waiting for Him to give you an answer or just talk to you in His own way. You must develop a good communication technique or channel with God.

Benefits of Kingdom Commitment
There are lots of Benefits you will gain when you are totally committed to the Work of the Kingdom of God.
  1. You will have Favour from God: When you are committed to the Work of God, you will receive uncountable Favour(s) from God.
  2. You will have Joy and Peace of Mind: Whenever you have spent time doing Gods work, and contributing to the expansion of Gods kingdom (even in your own little way), you will always have some instant results in the form of unquenchable Joy, and absolute peace of Mind. If you are highly tunned to Gods presence and His miraculous frequency, you will always notice His joy that goes beyond all human understanding.
  3. You will have greater responsibility: One of the essential benefits of being committed to the work of God's kingdom is that you become an Ambassador of Christ on Earth, thus you have a greater responsibility of keeping the Work of God afloat. Jesus Christ took a great responsibility by giving us a way to gain Eternal Life in God's Kingdom, so its is now our own responsibility to help others see the Light of God. But remember that your work is to spread the good news of the Kingdom of God, and allow the Holy Spirit to touch the hearts, and make the seeds you have sown to germinate and bear fruit.
Killers of commitment
In this race of the Kingdom commitment, there are certain things that will tend to make you fail or pull you down. It is very important that you focus on your main aim, which is to do the work of Him that sent you - God. Some of the killers of commitment are:
  1. Comparison with others: You should avoid comparing yourself with others. God has made you as the ONLY you on Earth. You don't have a photocopied version of yourself.
  2. Envy and murmuring / Gossip: The gift of God in our lives is in levels. Instead of envying and murmuring about other people's conditions or riches or state, you could always desire higher gifts and pray to God to enable you have them. But remember that every gift of God comes with responsibility, so ask / use it wisely, because "every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord"
Always remember that "Kingdom commitment is a personal Race". So there is no need for you to want to "be like others" be happy with whatever gift you have, and be committed in whatever thing you are doing in the Kingdom of God.

Christianity is incomplete 2 ...


Build a life of prayer, to get the power.
ð  God give me the power of prayers, so that I can manifest your power.

Until Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit, His ministry could not start. Likewise, we should return in the power of God’s spirit to enable us manifest.

When you are with Jesus (focused on Jesus).
ð  Power rubs off on you.
ð  When power comes, your fame will announce you.
ð  People will begin to ask who you are. (Acts 3: 12 – 15)
ð  You cannot be with Jesus and be shamed.
ð  By the power of Jesus that operates in your life, the enemy will never shame you. (Acts 4: 8 – 12)
ð  When the Holy Ghost power comes upon you, confidence, boldness will come upon you.


You can have strength but not have Power, but you cannot have Power and have no strength.
ð  If you want to prevail over that Power that has been holding you down, you need the power of God.
ð  If you live in the consciousness of the power of God in your life, the enemy will be far from you.


Since the fall of Adam and eve in the Garden of Eden, Normal Situations ceased to exist. You can only use the power of the Holy Spirit to bring Normal Situations (normalcy) out of abnormality.


The devil does not want normal situations to exist, but with the Power of God, we will overcome him. (Psalms 66: 9).


Every believer stands on two (2) pillars.
(a.) The Word of God.
(b.) The Power of God.


We must ask God for spiritual breakthrough (Eph. 1:3), and always go for the word of God, for His Word will push up your breakthrough.


It’s important that we note that Heaven’s treasure is not for FREE, there is always a price tag. (Isaiah 55 vs. 1 – 10). The question now is:


What is the price Tag?
ð Purity is essential. Your life must be pure.
ð  You must have a life of Prayer. Prayer is the only way we can access God’s presence.
ð  You must live your life with a consciousness of your spiritual status.
ð  A life of peace. God can only operate in a peaceful life.
ð  You must be meek.
ð  You must be Holy.

This list is not exhaustive, but we need to examine our lives each day, and live our lives with the consciousness that Jesus Christ might come any day.


The problem is that we always want God to do everything for us, but we have forgotten that God has given us all powers. We only just need to SPEAK, and He honours it.


Finally, we should not allow the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary to be in vain. May we find grace in God to exercise Hs power in us, for Christianity is incomplete without God, and we MUST tap into the Power of God.

Christianity is incomplete…





Now you must be wondering why this kind of heading, well let me tell you now that: Christianity is incomplete without God (Luke 4: 1 – 15)


After Jesus finished His fasting, the devil tempted Him, but for the wisdom of God in Jesus (who is God’s Wisdom personified), never allowed Him to be distracted and this is why the devil could not get Him.

ð  So if we want to operate in the same reign / power that Jesus operated, we need to know how to counter the devil, when he comes with his temptations.

For us as Christians to have access to operate in this same power that Jesus has, and exercise it in our lives, we need to return in the power of His (God) glory. Because, it is only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you have no power to operate.



Power of Operation
Even the closest people that were with Jesus on Earth – His disciples, could not operate or exercise their powers until Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to empower them. Acts 2: 1-4.


STRENGTH and POWER
We must differentiate between STRENGTH and POWER
Until Power came upon the Apostles, they couldn’t do much. Peter went back a-fishing after the death of Jesus, until Jesus rose from the death, and empowered him, he could not do anything.


Peter had boldness, power to heal, even so that his shadow healed many. Acts 3 vs. 4 – 7. These were all made possible after the Holy Spirit had empowered him.

 
ð No matter what may be going on in your life today, Jesus is telling you today to arise in the power of the Holy Ghost and WALK.

As Christians, we need the Power of God to function. Peter received Power to heal, but the cripple received Strength. As you read this today, I pray that Strength would return to your life.



People in the old testament operated based on Strength (Samson, etc Judges 16:28 - ), but Jesus came to give us Power. Samson had always relied on his strength to kill the lion etc, but towards the end of his life, he remembered to pray to God.

 
ð  As Christians, we should not fail to pray. “….for by strength shall no man prevail”.

God wants us to operate in the realm of Power (Spiritual Power) for when you operate on Strength, it’s all physical.


The truth of the matter is that you can not operate in Spiritual Power and suffer shame, hardship, struggles, lack and wants.

 
ð  Sometimes we don’t know what we posses, until an event occur n your life, to test you on whether you are operating in STRENGTH or POWER.


 .... To be continued..... Christianity is incomplete without God

My Increase begins with me


There is nothing God can do for you without first doing it to you.

Every change that comes for you must start with you. (2 cor. 5 vs. 17). The emphasis here is on the person.

Christianity is not a change of behavioural pattern……. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…God’s number one goal is in changing you and not necessarily your circumstances or your situation.

Why? The reason is that If you are changed, you can change your situation.

God works from your inside to your outside. It is who you are and not necessarily what you do that determines what you get. You don’t get in life what you want, but what you are. (You can be close to great people but not be great)

In order to do something great for God, you have to do something you have never done before.
You should evaluate the things you have done in the past so as to change. (Job 8 Vs 17)
ð  For you to change your personality, you have to change your mentality.

ð  For you to increase in life, you must change your perspective to life.

Your destiny is in your hands. If you chose to prosper / increase, nothing can stop you, just change your thoughts.

A man’s lifestyle is an external expression of what he thinks. (Prov 23 Vs 27)
ð  Do not let people’s opinion of you become your reality in life.

Jacob internalised the meaning of his name (Cheat etc) that it affected his mentality. Until he realised that he is a Prince, but when God changed his mentality/Name, he began to prosper.

Any battle you win/loose, it begins from within. It is your WHO that determines your DO!
One of the destructive tendencies of the enemy is to let you believe that you have a low mentality. Reject it!
ð  You can only retain what you have the power to attract. (The greatest evil you can do to someone is to promote them wrongly!!!!)

Perception is stronger than reality (You get in life what you ARE and not what you WANT!)

 .. And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward (NKJV) (Gen 13 Vs 14)
“...and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. (NKJV)“ (Eph 1Vs 19)


Your EYES of understanding and your MIND must be renewed. What your mind has not conceived, you cannot achieve. Greatness failure is all products of the mind.

God’s words are activated ONLY by the proportion of your vision. (Your ability to use your mind) (Jeremiah 1 Vs 11 – 12)

WHAT DO YOU SEE?
No one can place a LIMIT on you. The moment your perception changes to the negative, you begin to think like your enemy. (Eph 3 Vs 30)
ð  The reason poverty is rampant today is because poverty has been in the mentality of many.

ð  When you look at the SKY, your VISION is broadened!

The ME I see is the ME I become! ‘In order to do something you have never done before, you have to be someone you’ve never been before’
ð  Whatever you believe long enough on, you begin to behave like it.

“……. He was a prosperous man…” (Gen 39 Vs 1 – 2)
This means that even though Joseph was a slave, his mentality was that of a prince and not a pauper.


ð  No matter what you are going through, never allow your mind to be imprisoned.
ð  All ways remember that you are the son of the all Great God. Change the way you think, for your change comes from within.

ð  The strength of domination is the introduction of inferiority complex.
ð  Attitude not aptitude determines your function.ð  When you are knocked out, make sure you fall with your back. (As far as you can see the sky (Heavens), you are bound to RISE again.

Wants shows up in Conversations, but Expectations shows up in Behaviour!.
Today is the smallest you will ever be, for your increase begins with YOU.

Mysterious Wonder

Mysterious Wonder

As we step into a new month, its important to remind ourselves of the essential things in life.

The Bible says that we are created in the Image and likeness of God, and as such, we are "gods". This makes us a mysterious wonder, as God Himself is mysterious in His ways.

My Prayer for today is:

=> "God Make me a Mysterious Wonder"

=> "Lord God Almighty, I pray that anything in my life that has not manifested yet, but will manifest later in my life to hinder my calling, let them wither right now"

=> "Father let my life be under the control of the Holy Spirit through out this day and ever".

If you said this prayer today, may God guide and guard you as you shine His light wherever you are. AMEN!

See you at the top!!!!

What is FAITH?


Faith Continued:
WHAT IS FAITH

Hebrews 11:1-19
“Now…………..” this from the passage, means that FAITH is a SUBJECT of the PRESENT.
The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The Living Bible has it as – “the confident assurance that something that we want is going to happen….”

Faith is being confidently sure, without any iota of doubt that God is able to do as he promised. (Romans 4:21)

Let’s examine some of the personalities among the Roll-call of the men of Faith.

1.   Abel (Genesis 4:3)
For Abel, faith is:
ð Giving the very best of God.
ð He knew he must give cheerfully, wholeheartedly, without any eye-service, rancour etc.
ð Faith is giving the BEST to God.

Dignity, respect, our attitude, all these must be considered if we want to give the best to God.

2.   NOAH (Hebrews 11:7)          He pleased God – Genesis 6:8-22              
For Noah, faith is:
ð Living a righteous life.
ð For about 120 years, Noah waited patiently and built the ark, not minding what was happening around him. By then, it has NEVER been recorded in the Bible that there has been RAIN, only a mist that comes and wets the Earth.
ð Noah had a total commitment of obedience to God.

The Question is:
(a.) Can God boast of you today, as He boasted of Job?
(b.) Can God score you and find U?

3.   ENOCH (Hebrews 11:5)       He pleased God – Genesis 6:8-22              
For Enoch, Faith is:
ð Walking with God. For the first (1st) 65 years of Enoch, he wasted his ways but came back to God, and allowed himself to WALK with God.
ð He made God his Friend and confidant.
ð He allowed God to order his steps.
ð He asks for consent from God before doing anything.

The Question is:
(a.) Is God your best friend?
(b.) How consistent is your WALK with God?
(c.) How much of the WORD of God is in you?

4.   ABRAHAM (Hebrew 11:8, Romans 4, Genesis 12)
For Abraham, faith is:
ð Having total submission to the WILL of God.
ð Doing away with a life of SIN, wickedness, all forms of traditions, etc, and turning to God.
ð Totally separating yourself from everything that will make you SIN against God.
ð Giving what is most valuable, precious to you.
ð Not giving up on a promise, even when no solution is near.
ð Not giving up on yourself, even when everyone has given up on you.
ð Saying it is well, when actually it is NOT WELL!.

The Question is:
(a.) Can you give your best to God?
(b.) Are you truly separated from the World?
(c.) Do you believe that God can make a way out of your present situation?

5.   MOSES (Hebrews 11:23)
For Moses, faith is:
ð Leaving slavery to Freedom.
ð Leaving the comfort zone to a place of discomfort.
ð Confronting the powers of evil, enemies.

The Question is:
(a.) Do you believe that God would path the RED Sea in your life, for you to pass-over to your promised land?

Faith must be –Expressed, Acted, Said, so that you would get what you want.
Let’s begin to put FAITH in action, so that we can have the same blessings as our Fathers of Old. Amen!

A Question of FAITH

FAITH (Hebrews 11)

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.(NKJV)


According to Hebrews 11, FAITH can be defined as:
1.    The substance of things hoped for……
ð  Any man who has no Faith, has no faith

2.    The evidence of things not seen. 
ð  Faith manifests when a man has lost all Hopes.

3.    Our faith is not built in things seen, but things that are beyond human thinking.

4.    It takes faith to give a quality offering to God.

5.    Faith is very challenging; it encompasses all that we do in life. Everything you do in life depends on the level of your faith.

6.    It’s impossible to please God without faith.

Faith is CONFIDENCE in GOD. (Mathew 6:24-34)
Often times, our worries, problems, complaints, High Blood Pressures are all because of our lack in Faith.

According to Mathew 8: 3 – 13; Faith is absolute confidence in the ability of God to intervene in any matter that concerns you.

Faith is NOTHING without the demonstration of Love and works.

ð  The moment you allow the Word of God to grow inside of you, He will prepare you to have faith. i.e. your faith grows.
ð  Faith means understanding the promises of God for your life. – But there is no promise without Conditions to be fulfilled.
Isaiah 1:19 - If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land. (NKJV)

The question is: WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUT FAITH?

ð  Luke 18:1 :- We constantly Pray, but never have faith in what we are asking God.

ð  Mark 4:38 :- Even when Jesus was present, His disciples never believed in His presence. Most times, we do not believe, even when we have seen the Miracles of God in our lives.

ð  Hebrew 4:2 :- No matter how long we are exposed to hearing the word of God, if we never put it into practice, and quicken our faith, it would be like a seed planted on rocks.

ð  Hebrews 11:1 :- Most people have the “I want it now mentality” thus if they don’t see whatever they are asking of from God, they wont believe.

ð  Romans 4:20-25 :- Abraham believe in God, and it was accounted to him. We should emulate him, as out father, because if he could live all through his life still having Hope and believing in God, we as Christians, having Jesus as our mediator cans still practice this faith.

Remember that Jesus said that “if our faith is as little as the mustard seed, be can do even greater things than He did”. Just believe and have faith that whatever you as of God through His Son Jesus would be given unto you, by the Power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
