What is faith?
- “Faith is the substance of the things hope for. The evidence of things not seen.”Heb.11:1
- Faith is not waiting for God to perform. If you wait you can wait till eternal and nothing will happen.James. 1:25
- faith is an action. Mat.9:20-22
- Faith is praising God in the middle of conflicting situation/ turmoil. Acts.16:25-26.
- Faith is obedience to scriptural commands/putting Gods word to work. Faith without work is dead. James.2:17-20
HOW DO I BUILD MY FAITH
- Engage in a praise life style. It is “breath” requirement not “bread” PS.150:6. PS. 22:3
- Engage in a praying lifestyle. Mat.6:9, lk.18:1, lk.2:37.
- Hear the word of God everyday. ROM.10:17
- Pray in the HolyGhost. Jude.1:20.
- Think positively. Prov.23:7
- Speak/decree/proclaim/sound positively in line with what your positive thoughts. Prov.18:21, lk.21:15. “Your mouth is not meant for decoration, it is meant for declaration.”
WHY DO I NEED FAITH
- God is not moved by your tears, complains, grumblings, murmurings, fears and anxieties. He is only moved by your faith. James.1:5-8. Phil.2:14
- Everything bows to faith – as long as they have names – even, death bows. Phil.2:9-11
- The supernatural manifest according to everyone’s faith. Jn.14:12, mat.9:29
- It takes faith to return back-to-the-sender every arrow of the wicked/devil. Eph.6:16
- Anybody who has faith constitutes a terror to the devil. Ep.6:16
- It takes faith to move mountains ( poor grades, failure, sickness, sorrow, death, frustration, poverty, man mishandle – the list is endless- mat.17:20, mark.11:23).
Men of old who did explosive wonders/miracles were fearless. The are men who looked at mountain in the eyes and told it to disappear. They are men whom the sea depart at their presence. Even if you could not move ant before, with faith you could be an amazement among your contemporaries. Faith is not reserved for some special people, even if it is, that means you are special. With faith your GPA can boom! You don’t have to settle for less, your father can’t be the creator and lack creativity. Get this straight: God has integrity. He does not speak empty word. Num.23:9 and the scripture cannot be broken. Jn.10:35. Until you are out He is in. “It won’t take me much effort to destroy winch or wiszard,” “ten billion demons cannot kill me”these are not empty boasts. They are the truth from the light of the scripture. Lk.10:19
