HOW TO INCREASE YOUR FAITH PART 2

-



Continue from last edition…. 

Your words control your life but it has to be in your heart before it can work from your mouth. Saying it alone is not enough, you’ve got to believe it with your heart according to Romans 10:10, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Anybody can speak but only those who believe with their hearts will make it happen. 

The more you speak, the more the reality of salvation in you. Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)” When there is no confession, there is no faith. Don’t confess your doubt, keep your mouth shut if you doubt. Confess your faith, and your faith will increase and your believing will be strengthened. Once you begin to confess it, your faith is emboldened. Mark 11:23, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Keep saying it and it will happen like you have said. You may doubt in your mind but don’t doubt in your spirit. 

How faith works 

Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.” Faith has a timing and you must work based on the timing of faith. In Hebrews 11:1 the bible says Now faith is…., also in the book of Hebrews 11:6 the Bible makes us understand that, “…for he that cometh to God must believe that he IS…” God is a now God. When your speaking is not in the now, you are speaking hope and not faith. For example, when you begin to say, “I know one day I will be healed” that’s not faith, that’s hope (a mere desire, dream or wish). God is not obliged to move when you speak hope, only faith moves God. 

Faith is NOW, not it shall be. Use the language of faith and not the language of hope. Hope is good, it sets the goal so that faith can reach unto it and achieve it. Hope is a desire, faith is the realization. Without faith hope has no substance, faith gives hope something that you can relate with. Faith gives reality to the things you hope for. Faith is the proof that what you cannot see actually exists. Hold on to the proof and evidence until the substance comes. 

May God bless you richly. See you next month.

I'TS NOT WORTH IT : STOP RESISTING GOD IN YOUR LIFE

Dearly beloved, I welcome you all to this awesome month of June. May all that the Lord has for you this month be made manifest in your life in Jesus name, Amen. This month, I will be admonishing you on what I titled, ‘Stop resisting God in your life.’ The Bible says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” The New International Version of the same book of Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” It is important to note by this scripture that God has great things in store for you, not just for your present but also for your future. What a wonderful Father. You facing difficult situations today can take comfort in Jeremiah 29:11 knowing that it is not a promise to immediately rescue you from hardship or suffering, but rather a promise that God has a

FOOD FOR TEENS :THE INTENTIONALITY OF GOD

What God has in store for us far exceeds what we can achieve on our own, it goes beyond our wildest imagination, those desires in us to achieve great things are product of the great things God has placed inside us but because we have not sort Him, we try to achieve these things based on what we see in the natural. We try to make sense of those things our spirit yearns for, we try to give them expression but we fail to go to Him that has put these things within us. You see people trying to achieve success in their careers, homes, businesses, academics, etc. thinking they will find true fulfillment. They dream of owning big companies, hoping to find fulfillment because they think that is the best way to get true fulfillment but every time a target is met a new one is created, yet the fulfillment they seek seems to elude them. All of creation seeks this fulfillment the creator has created and placed within them. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for t

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: STOP LOOKING BACK

Hello my beloved saints, I welcome you to the month of December in the name of Jesus. May the Lord who has brought you this far take you farther and cause you to see and experience His glory in this new month in Jesus name. I will be sharing with you on what I titled “Stop Looking Back.” The Bible made us to understand that as Christians we are in a race, 1st Corinthians 9:24, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain" . We are in a race and we must end up well, one thing we must do and consistently do is to stop looking back at our past, at our old lifestyle. No Christian can ever come to his or her place of victory in the Kingdom who consistently stays in his or her past. His or her past pleasures, failures, defeat, pain, lust, unforgiveness etc. It is one trap of Satan to keep a believer from making tangible progress. There is a profound statement made by our Lord Jesus which we must take to heart because
