ENGAGING THE UNFAILING POWER OF FAITH FOR VICTORIES

BY Apostle Patrick Osondu I April 20, 2020

Introduction: Father send your word in season and by your word turns away every issues of concern in our lives to testimony! In Jesus name Amen.

Every exercises of faith in the word of God empower a believer to a noiseless over the issues of life. Therefore, every instruction is vital to define our new position in life.

For every promise of glory there is a demand. Finding the demand for the glory every day offers empowers us to take full advantage in life.

The word of God is loaded with benefits. It is sure. It is settled in Heaven, but it comes with demand. Today we are going to look at one of the demands of God. Every breakthrough comes through personal input therefore;

In our year of practical evidence.

In our covenant month of laughter {Gen 21: 6} And God has made me laugh so the all that here will laugh with me.

         ENGAGING THE UNFAILING POWER OF FAITH

Faith is a now thing. Now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen.
NOTE: In the kingdom, whatever is not done in faith is already dead on arrival. It is faith that connects us to the benefits of the word of God.

What you don’t here, you can’t understand, you can’t believe and what you don’t believe, you can’t openly declare openly, you can’t claim spirituality-Romans 10:17. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God {Expatiate}

            KEY OF FAITH TO UNLOCK BLESSINGS;

1.     Whatever faith can see, God cans deliver-Mark 10:27. And Jesus looking upon them saith, with men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible {the power of faith is unlimited} John 11:39-40.  {39} Jesus said, Take ye away the stone, Martha, the sister of him that was 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? {41} Father thank thee thou herest me {43} And I knew that thou herest me always.

• There is no irreversible case with God. Gods verdict is unalterable {John 11:43} “Jesus declared with a loud voice Lazarus come out

• In verse {44} Lazarus came out and Jesus said loose him and let him go “the unlimited power of faith.

2.     Faith is the key to everything {the two blind men followed him} Mathew 9:27-29. {27} and when Jesus departed thane, two blind men followed him, crying and saying thou son of David, have mercy on us. {28} and when he was come 

Unto 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 yes Lord. {29} then touch he their eyes, saying according to your faith are unto you.

• No one gets healed beyond his faith. God’s word is loaded with all the answers you need but it is your faith that brings your answer. It is to everyone according to his faith. {Psalm 16: 4-5}. {4] Their season shall be manipulated that hasten after other gods. Their drink offering of blood will not offer or take up their names it my lips. {Talk more of God and you will see more of Him}

• The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup, thou maintanest my lot. {Psalm 125:1-3}. {1} they that trust in the Lord shall be like mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abidesth forever. {2} as the mountains are around Jerusalem, so the Lord is around His people from henceforth ever forever. {3} for the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteousness put forth their hands unto iniquity.

• You have to build your faith to deliverer. You don’t sit with faith, you work with faith. If you wait you will waste. It is to you according to your faith. {Philippians 2:12}. Wherefore, my beloved as ye has always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now in my absence, work out your worn salvation with fear and trembling.

• Faith is a now thing. It is effective every day. If believe today, it work for you today. It is every day. The day you believe it becomes your day.

3.     Faith is not waiting for God to work but putting God‘s word to work. So as to commit Him to make good His promise. {2corinthians 6:2} For he saith, I have leaned thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation answered thee, behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. {Mark 5:5-7}. {5} And Simon answering and said unto Him, Master we have toiled or night, and have taken nothing, nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. {6} and when they had this done, they in closed a great multitude of fishes; and their net break. {7} and they beckoned unto their partners which where in the other ship, that they should and help them. And they came and filled the ship, So that they began to sin.

• Faith brings you to ship sinking kind of blessing. A trans-generational blessing- Just obey- {John 2:5} His mother said unto the servants, whatsoever He said unto you , do it-{Faith in the Son} ability-obedience is what make faith work.

4.     Faith is obeying God: {James 2:18} “Yea a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show you thee my faith by my works. {Faith is shown by actions} When you engage your faith you engage Gods presence; whit out faith is impossible to please God.

5.     Faith is been persuaded that God will deliverer His promise regardless of your present condition: {Romance 4:17} {as it is written I have made you a father of many nations} before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the deed and calleth those things which be not as though they ware. {Hebrew 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 faithfully who had promised?

                               WHAT MAKES BIBLE FAITH UNIQUE

a.  Bible faith commits the integrity of God to perform {Hebrew 6:16-18}. {16} For men verily solver by the greater and an oath for confirmation  it is to them an end of all strife {17} Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shrew 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 strong consolations, which have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. {Titus 1:2} In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began

• As long as you believe God for who He is, He will not fail you no matter what you may be going through. {Psalm 89:34} My covenant I will not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

• God word is ever effective to deliver, and it is application to only those who believe. God’s word carries the power and presence of God.

  b.   It has the potency to quench all the fiery weapon of the devil.

•  It doesn’t matter what the devil through at you; your faith can quench it. The problem is not Satan; the problem is your faith {1 peter 5:7-8}. {7} Casting all your care upon Him for He careth for you. {8} be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. {Psalm 23:4} “Assurance of victory} yea, though I work through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me thy rod and thy staff thou conforth me.

• So arm yourself with a strong faith. When Satan sees a strong faith, he reverses his actions.

  c.   There is no irreversible case living faith.

•  Whatever faith cannot replace, it repairs it. Whatever faith cannot repair, it replaces it. {John 11:39-40}; {39} “At the tomb of Lazarus” Jesus said, Take ye away the stone, Martha the sister of him that was dead said unto Him, Lord by this time he sticketh, for he hath been dead for days. {40} Jesus saith unto her, said I unto thee that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

• There is no closed matter with God.

• If faith is still in play, there is still a way. {1 Corinthians 10:13} 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 of escape that ye may be able to bear it. {Mark 5:36}  And as soon as Jesus head the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, be not afraid, only believe {Luke 8:50} But when Jesus had it, He answered Him saying, fear not believe only, and she shall be made whole.

• Rise and pray for the spirit of faith to envelop you

• Call for repentance and surrender to God. Give Jesus your life.

God bless you!
