FAITH FOR UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES
BY Apostle Dr Patrick Osondu
Hebrews 11:29-34
[29]By
faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians
assaying to do were drowned.
[30]By
faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven
days.
[31]By
faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had
received the spies with peace.
[32]And
what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of
Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets:
[33]Who
through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
[34]Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Faith
is the key to everything in the kingdom.
It is what opens the door to whatever expectation and grants us success to every needs of life..
Mark
9:23
[23]Jesus
said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth.
God
answers everyone according to his faith
Matthew
9:18-29
[18]While
he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and
worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand
upon her, and she shall live.
[19]And
Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
[20]And,
behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came
behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
[21]For
she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
[22]But
Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good
comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that
hour.
[23]And
when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people
making a noise,
[24]He
said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they
laughed him to scorn.
[25]But
when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the
maid arose.
[26]And
the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
[27]And
when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying,
Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
[28]And
when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith
unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
[29]Then
touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Your
faith determines your fate...what comes
to you.
Romans
10:17
[17]So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
WHAT IS FAITH
FAITH
is not waiting for God to work things out, but putting Gods word to work things
out so as to commit Him to make good his promise.
Philippians
2:12
[12]Wherefore,
my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much
more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
You
don’t sit down with faith, you work with faith....if you wait, you waste.
2
Corinthians 6:2
[2](For
he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation
have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day
of salvation.)
Now
is the time to put your faith to work. Today. Don’t wait till tomorrow.
There’s
nothing you can ask God that He can not do nor doesn’t have the capacity and
the resources to deliver.
Galatians
3:14
[14]That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The
avenue of reception is your faith.
To
engage God, you must first engage your faith.
God
reacts to only those who act in faith.
Faith is sharing responsibility with God in light of the Scripture so as to create the result desired.. It is only those who engage and share responsibility that God responds to.
The moment you don’t find your responsibility to take, the ability of God will not deliver in your life.
If you multiply 1 billion..by..1 billion zeros, the result will still be zero.
Jeremiah
6:16
[16]Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Faith is being convinced about the truth that God is able to deliver your expectations in all things regardless of your present condition.
Romans
4:17
[17](As
it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he
believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be
not as though they were.
Hebrews 11:11
[11]Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
*There’s
nothing the truth of the word of God can not rearrange or change.
Whatever the word of God can not repair, it will replace it and whatever it can not replace, it will recreate it.
Faith
is key that opens the doors of impossibilities;
Mark
9:23
[23]Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
WHAT MAKES BIBLE FAITH UNIQUE
Bible
Faith Commits The Integrity Of God To Perform.
Hebrews 6:16-18
[16]For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
[17]Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
[18]That
by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might
have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope
set before us:
Titus 1:2
[2]In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
God on his own swore by Himself that He can not change what He has said in the Bible as long as you can find it and live up to it, He can never fail to deliver.
Isaiah
43:26
[26]Put
me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be
justified.
Psalms 89:34
[34]My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Every
word of God stands the taste of time.
God swore on every of His word in the Bible to remain faithful to us if we remain faithful to Him.
If you can engage the word of God in the Bible, God is committed to give you everything you need or ask.
Faith has the potency to quench all the fiery/violent darts of the devil.
Ephesians
6:16
[16]Above
all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked.
It
doesn’t matter what the devil throws at you, your faith can quench it.
But the problem is not the Satan, the problem is your faith... Do you have faith even as small as the mustered seed?
The issue that determines your experiences in life is your faith.
So
arm yourself with strong faith, so whatever the devil throws at you, your faith
will resist it.
When the devil sees your strong faith, he turns and walks away.
1
Peter 5:8-9
[8]Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
[9]Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Stop celebrating your challenges, make your challenges look common and they will become common and eventually disappear.
Talk less of your problems and talk more of your God and you will see more of God and less of your problems.
Stop telling God how big your problem is but start telling your problems how big your God is.
Whatever you’re going through now, there are those who have gone through it effortlessly and overcame.
There is no irreversible case with faith.
John
11:39-40
[39]Jesus
said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith
unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
[40]Jesus
saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou
shouldest see the glory of God?
Even
if your case seem to be smelling already and all hope seem lost....just know
today that there is nothing that can not be reversed with faith in God.
There’s
no closed case with God.
If
faith is still in play, there is still a way out.
1 Corinthians 10:13
[13]There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
There’s nothing you face that you can not handle. There’s always a way out
Mark
5:36-39
[36]As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
[37]And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
[38]And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
[39]And
when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the
damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
Luke
8:50
[50]But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
HOW DO YOU HEAR FROM GOD TO HAVE FAITH?
Isaiah
58:6-9
[6]Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
[7]Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
[8]Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
[9]Then
shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say,
Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth
of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Glory be to God!! Information have been passed am blessed by this sermon.... More grace sir
