Thank You Lord God Almighty for Your Love, Thank You for Your Mercy, Thank You for Your Support, Thank You for the Salvation of our Souls.

Thank You for Health, Thank You for Your Strength, Thank You for Your Preservation, Thank You for Your Goodness, Thank You for Your Mercy, Thank You for a Glorious tomorrow.

… Father, accept our THANKS in Jesus’ Name!

Father, even at the beginning of the Convention 2020 – with the THEME: WONDERFUL; we commit into Your Hands Your Workers and House Fellowship Leaders in Particular. Father, we Pray that like never before, during this Convention: You will Visit Your children, You will Anoint them. And You will meet ALL the desires of their hearts.

We Pray Lord God Almighty, that this will be the Greatest Convention we have ever had thus far, in Jesus’ Name.

Thank You my Father and my God! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – AMEN!

Well, let somebody shout Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!

I want to welcome ALL Workers in your various homes and all the House Fellowship Leaders.

I rejoice with you that inspite of every Plans of the enemy, we are yet able to reach out to you, and have a very, very WONDERFUL CONVENTION.

Can you imagine the Almighty God chose the THEME: WONDERFUL for this Convention, even at a time when we have no idea how it is going to be.

And now we have a Convention that is truly a WORLD CONVENTION.

Because ALL our Brothers and Sisters across the world are Part and Parcel of what is going on now.

So you are all welcome to CONVENTION 2020!

Now, I’m talking to you, especially Workers and House Fellowship Leaders.

And of course, anyone who wants to join us, among the Congregation – they are welcomed because afterall, one day or the other, they will become Workers.

As a matter of fact, I’m believing God that after this Year’s Convention; many, many of you (if not all of you) would become House Fellowship Leaders – Amen.

WHY? – Because this crisis has done something clearly to everybody that the House Fellowship is very, very crucial to us in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

When we started having House Fellowships, some People didn’t take the matter serious; but now you can see what has happened.

When the Churches are locked down, nobody can lockdown the House Fellowship – If we cannot go to Church, now we can meet in our homes.

So you can see that God is always a STEP ahead of the enemy.

And so we must do something now much more than ever before about House Fellowship.

As a matter of fact, very soon, we would Probably just change the name to “THE CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE.”

Because one (1) day, when the history of Christianity is written they will be referring to: “THE CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE”.

So I’m believing God for everyone of you listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC: That after this Convention, you would open up your house for a “CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE”.

Because today now, we read in the Bible: The Church in the House of AQUILA and PRISCILLA.

Romans 16:3-5:

3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my Helpers in Christ Jesus:

4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles.

5 Likewise greet the Church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

We read of: The Church in the House of NYMPHAS.

You would never have heard his name, but for the Church in his house.

Colossians 4:15 says: Salute the Brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the Church which is in his house.

In Philemon (the only Chapter) from 1-2 (Philemon 1: 1-2); Paul said: “Paul, a Prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the Church in thy house:”

I am Praying that whenever God is writing the History of the Church in the New Generation; He will talk about THE CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE – AMEN.

The lockdown for example) has brought about A CHURCH IN MY HOUSE – My children and I, we gather together, we would Worship on Sunday, watch the Transmission from Dove Media.

… And when we finished, we gathered together and EAT.

And we were discussing what name to call the Church; and one of them said we should call it “ARISE AND SHINE” – Laughter!

I said, That’s Good!

But considering the way you EAT after the Service, maybe we should call it “ARISE AND EAT!” – Laughter!

And as usual, when they were asking me to give them a Bible Passage to support that name, I said well, 1 Kings 19:4-8.

You can listen to the audio here: THE CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE: Pastor E.A Adeboye

When Elijah was tired and he was sleeping and he was asking God to come and kill him. An Angel came and woke him up and said: “ARISE AND EAT” – Laughter!

But then I added to it; wait a minute! – After Elijah ate twice, he Fasted for Forty (40) days.

I said maybe we should call it “ARISE AND FAST’

… There should be a “CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE!”

Our Goal should be: In every Street, there should be somebody who will open his or her house and we have CHURCH there.

Many of our Churches Abroad started from what you are calling HOUSE FELLOWSHIP.

When we started the Church in London, there were only five (5) of us – Five (5) Members! And everyone of us had BIG Titles;

I was the General Overseer, there was a Pastor In Charge, there was somebody who became suddenly, Sunday School Superintendent, there was somebody who became a Choir Mistress.

… Everybody had a Title!

When we were going to start the Church in America, after I have talked to ALL those who left Nigeria for America: Start a Branch of the Church.”

They kept on saying: Oh, we are already attending a Pentecostal Church here – I said okay!

One day, I visited my Cousin – Pastor James Fadel (he wasn’t a Pastor then). I said to him Sir, you are my Cousin: We are starting a Church in your house today!

… If you don’t move quickly, I will deal with you.

I know that this is a Land of Law: when I have finished dealing with you, you will report me to the Police. The Police will deal with me. But then, I will be waiting for you in Nigeria.

To cut a long Story short, that is how we started! – We started a CHURCH in one (1) of his Rooms.

And today (by the Grace of God) we have close to a thousand (1,000) Churches in AMERICA.

Don’t despise the day of small beginnings. Make up your mind now: That you will open a “CHURCH IN YOUR HOUSE”!

Now, WHY SHOULD I?

I’m just going to encourage you for about ten (10) minutes and then PRAY.

WHEN JESUS IS PASSING BY

We learned from the Scriptures that when Jesus is Passing by;

If Jesus is just PASSING BY, He DISTRIBUTES MIRACLES

1. In Mark 5:25-34, He was Passing By: The woman with the Issue of Blood came from behind and got her Miracle.
2. In Mark 19:46-52, Jesus was Passing By: Bartimaeus got his Miracle.
3. In John 9:1-7, Jesus was Passing By: Saw another blind man. Before you know what is happening: He had given him Brand New EYES.

So, when Jesus is PASSING BY; He DISTRIBUTES MIRACLES.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE IS VISITING?

Just one (1) example is enough!

Genesis 18:1-14: He visited Abraham and ALL the Promises of several years became fulfilled in one (1) day!

… Because Prophecies became a DECREE.

He had been saying: ‘Oh, this is what will happen to you.’ But on that day He VISITED; He said, now the Baby will COME!

So when He is VISITING, the irreversible becomes REVERSED.

Can you then imagine what will happen when He ia not just PASSING BY; He is not just VISITING: BUT, HE HAS COME TO DWELL!

If He comes to DWELL in your House; if He comes to RESIDE in your House; if your House becomes a “HOUSE CHURCH”: SEVERAL THINGS WILL HAPPEN:

1. Take the example in 1 Kings 17:8-24 – When Elijah dwelt in the House of the Widow of Zarephath – NO LACK WAS ALLOWED IN THAT HOUSE.

Everyday, the woman who had the “Last Meal” suddenly discovered that everyday, there was food.

By the time they were going to bed in the night; maybe the food had gone down a little; by the following morning, the Pot is full again.

If your House becomes a “House Church”: God will make sure that there won’t be LACK in that house EVER AGAIN – Amen!

2. When Elijah was dwelling with the Widow of Zarephath, there was Great Famine in the land – People were dying;

But in the House of the Widow of Zarephath, they didn’t even know what was going on outside.

When your house becomes a DWELLING PLACE for God: It doesn’t matter what is going on outside, it won’t come near your House – Amen.

Psalms 91:1-10 makes it clear: A thousand might fall on the left and ten thousands on the right, BUT it won’t come near you.

… You will just be observing what is going on.

I mean, look at this Plague (for example – Coronavirus); I want to give the Almighty God Glory for His Faithfulness to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

I’m not saying we are better than other Churches; I’m not boasting – I’m just saying:

I’m Grateful to Him for the way He has kept us all over the world – ALL over the World!

So it is Possible for danger to be outside and NOT come NEAR your Home.

3. When the Man of God was dwelling with the Widow of Zarephath – Even DEATH came in, but it was CHASED OUT!

Death came in to take away the only son of the Widow; but Hey because a Representative of the “Resurrection and the Life” was dwelling in the house; DEATH was compelled to VOMIT what it had swallowed.

I want to Prophesy to those of you who would open up your Homes and turn them to “HOUSE CHURCHES” – In the Name that is above every other names, there will be NO LACK FOR YOU – AMEN!

Whatever evil may be going on outside will not come near your house – Amen!

And if there is anything death has already swallowed; death will VOMIT – Amen!

And then of course, you know the very popular Passage that we have discussed again and again.

That is in 2 Samuel 6:1-12 – Where the House of OBEDEDOM became a “HOUSE CHURCH” by force.

The Man wasn’t even expecting it, but the Almighty God moved on his behalf, and they took the Ark of Covenant and PLACED it in his House.

1. And know what happened immediately? – God began to BLESS him.

The Bible says: Within three (3) Months, this man had Overrunning Blessings.

And you know my God says in Psalms 23:5: “Thou Preparest a table before me in the Presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”

2. Not only was he BLESSED immediately – that’s No. 1.

The Blessings became SO BIG that it could not be hidden.

The whole Nation heard about it, and you know – Just like the Promise God made in Malachi 3;10-12, when He says:

If you bring all the Tithes into His House, He would open Windows of Heaven and Pour you a BLESSING; that there won’t be enough room to receive.

In verse 12, He said: ALL NATION shall call you BLESSED.

A Blessing that is SO MUCH, that a Nation would be talking about it.

That is the kind of Blessings that will come to the house that has been OPENED up to God to have a “HOUSE CHURCH”.

3/ Not only was it that Obededom was immediately BLESSED; the Blessing was UNHIDDEN.

This man became a NATIONAL ENVY.

God was Blessing him, People noticed that this man was been Blessed tremendously; they refused to keep quiet; they went and told David.

‘Eh, that man you took the “Ark of the Covenant” to his house; you better go and see what is happening there oooo!’

You know in Genesis 26:12-14, the Bible said: When God BLESSED Isaac, the Philistines ENVIED him.

I have said it before: “It doesn’t matter what is happening in your life, People will TALK ABOUT YOU.”

If you are a Failure, they will talk about you – They will say ‘Ha, where is your God?’

You are Poor, they will talk about your God and they will ask you – Have you entered into a Covenant of Poverty?

And then when God Prospers you Mightily, they will talk.

… They are going to talk anyway;

Why don’t we say: Okay God, let them talk about me for being very Successful; for having Overflowing Blessings.

… Let them talk about me for GOOD!

And that can ONLY happens if you open your House to God for a “HOUSE CHURCH”.

And know what?

In Revelation 3:20 the Almighty God says: He is already at your door knocking!

He has been waiting for you to hear this Message: To take a decision straightaway and say: Okay, I didn’t know that is it. I will open my House that it may become a DWELLING PLACE for the Most High God.

So that by Next Year’s Convention, my Testimony will be: God has BLESSED ME so Mightily; at least everybody around my Streets they are already beginning to ENVY ME.

I will tell you just one (1) more Testimony, and then you will Pray.

I don’t want to talk about the one in Nigeria; so as not to embarrass some People.

But in one Nation of the world, there was a Mighty flood that covered all the Streets; I mean, water reached beyond window levels.

And there was a Particular Street, every houses was flooded!

But there was this House in the middle of the Street – The river was flowing left and right. It reached (let’s call this House Number 12). It flooded House Numbers 1 to 11; and JUMPED to House Numbers 13 down to 20.

… True Story!

As a matter of fact, I’m sure the fellow concerned is listening to me or Reading this Message now on the Label of DMC.

And he is likely to Phone some of you his fiends: Ah, Daddy was talking about me.

The flood left the House (No. 12)!

And so the People were wondering – What is Peculiar about this House?

And they saw a sign: HOUSE FELLOWSHIP OF THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD (RCCG) MEETS HERE!

Bow your head in Prayer – Half a word is enough for the wise.

… I’m going to Pray for you, and then you are going to cry unto God.

CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I’m going to commit Your children into Your hands once again.

Please Lord, as many of them that are already House Fellowship Leaders, PROMOTE THEM!

As many of them as are yet to open their doors to You to come in and turn their Houses to CHURCHES; Lord God Almighty, as they open the doors, let Your BLESSINGS begin to flow in!

Keep DEATH away from their Homes; keep SICKNESS away from their Homes; keep every forms of evil FAR AWAY from them!

Oh Lord God Almighty, let them become the envy of EVERYBODY around them!

Very soon, let me begin to hear some Mighty Testimonies concerning these Your children.

Even as I Pray in Jesus’ Mighty Name – AMEN!

I want you to spend “Quality Time” talking to the Almighty God and say: FATHER, You are welcome into my Home. Ha, everything I have is Yours; without you I am Nothing!

Come into my Home; Come and DWELL HERE! Come and make this Place YOUR ABODE.

Let Your CHURCH be established in MY HOME!

Please do it for me Lord.

You are Welcome! – I will open my doors now as soon as I opened it, COME and DWELL in it.

Thank You Father!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

I’m not stopping you; I’m just excusing myself because I have to move on.

But you can then continue your Prayers. Consider everything you have heard:

If Jesus is PASSING BY, Miracles I have! If He is VISITING, the Irreversible becomes REVERSED! If He stays Ha, you know all the things that we have said.

Consider these: if you have to contact your Pastor very, very quickly, do so!

Say Sir, my House is ready; let us start a “HOUSE CHURCH” HERE.

God Bless You – Amen!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

I Pray the Almighty God will continue to strengthen you and the anointing of the Lord upon your lives will never diminish. It will be from one level of Glory to another in Jesus Name – Amen.

MESSAGE

The Title of today’s Message is: YOUR ROLE AS HOUSE FELLOWSHIP LEADERS IN THE REDEEMED CHRISTAIN CHURCH OF GOD.

My Bible Text is taken from Act 2:46-47.

46. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.
47. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved.

Brethren, the Apostolic age was a Period of Church Growth.

It was an explosive Period of Church Growth.

Now why was it an explosive Age or an explosive Period of Church Growth?

There are two (2) reasons at least two (2) reasons:

1. The New Testament Believers – They knew the secret of House Fellowship Development System.
2. They knew the Truth about Consecration, the secret of Consecration – That is the truth about Separation.

Now let’s start with Number one (1):

1. They knew the Truth about House Fellowship Development System.

In other words they knew the secret of House Fellowship Development System.

Let’s trace this House Fellowship to the time of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

In the Bible, the houses where People lived were use for Preaching the Gospel, for Healing and for Deliverance.

For example to illustrate,

In Matthew 2:11; the House Fellowship was considered as a House suitable for the Worship of Christ – And that is in Matthew 2:11.

And in Matthew 8:14-16; the House Fellowship was considered as a House suitable for Preaching, for Healing and for Deliverance.

Also in Matthew 26:18; the first Holy Communion Service took Place is a House at the Upper Room.

Then in Mark 2:11; Jesus Christ Preached to the crowd in a House.

Now in the New Testament, Houses were also used by the early Believers for Preaching the Gospel, for Soul Winning and for Discipleship.

And we can see examples of this in Act 2:1 and Act 2:46.

In Act 2:1 for example – Pentecost came to Disciples in a House and the Souls that were won to the Lord, they were discipled in Houses.

That is why we have it in Act 2:46 – And they, continuing daily in the temple and from house to house.

Then in Act 8:3; Saul who was a Persecutor who later became the Apostle.

He Persecuted People moving from House to House.

Then also in Act 12, we discovered that Prayers of Believers delivered Peter from death.

In Act 12:5 and if you read the whole of Act 12; we discovered this that it was the Prayers of Believers that delivered Peter from death.

And also we discovered that it was a “House Church” that opened the Gospel to the Nations.

In Act 16:40; it was a “House Church” that opened the Gospel to the Nation.

It was through the “House Church” that the spread of Gospel was made to the Nations.

And also Lydia’s house became the first Church in Europe – We have this in Act 16:40.

And also in Act 28:30-31, Paul the Apostle used his own rented House for Preaching and for spreading the Gospel. He also used it for Discipleship.

2. Now Brethren, the second (2nd) reason why the Period could be described as an explosive Period of Church Growth was because of their Commitment to the Gospel in terms of Consecration.

What do I mean by that?

They knew the secret of Consecration; they knew the Truth about Separation.

Now you may ask this question: What is consecration?

As stated in Hebrews 7:26-28; we can infer from that Passage that: Consecration is the act of “Setting Apart” an Object or Person for the Service of God.

Also listen : The Church in Your House – Pastor EA Adeboye

For example when you say someone is a Christian – What is Consecration to a Christian?

In 1 Chronicles 29:5; we can see there that Silver could be for the things of Silver, Gold for the things of Gold but David had to ask the question: Who then is willing to Consecrate his Service to the Lord this day?

So, to a Christian Believer it is a life of Service and Worship that follows our commitment to take our Cross and follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

This is also confirmed in Hebrews 10:20 and 1 Peter 8:18 and 19.

It denotes our own commitment to take up our Cross and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, it is “Giving Up” to Christ forever as a Person that is bought with a Price.

We are no longer our own.

So what you should ask yourself is: What are my Roles?

Know that you are no longer your own; you are a Person bought with a Price.

Now Consecration or Separation involves two (2) Actions:

1. “Giving Up” my Will or Sacrificing my Will to God.

This is confirmed in Hebrews 10:7 and then Galatian 1:13-16.

2. God’s Acceptance of the Sacrifice I have made.

So you want to be Separated to the Almighty God and become a Vessel that the Almighty God will use.

Number one (1): You must “Give Up” your Will to the Lord. – The Lord must accept that Will

Number two (2): Acceptance of the Sacrifice that I have made as a House Fellowship Leader is confirmed in Hebrews 12:1 and 2;

Now when you “Give Up” your Will and you Sacrifice it to God; it will enable you to do three (3) things:

1. It will enable you to hear the Voice of God.

If a House Fellowship Leader can hear the Voice of God, the House Fellowship Centre will experience “Astronomical Growth”.

2. It will help you as a Person to Set yourself Apart from sin and to Set yourself Apart to God.

And whoever does this will be someone who will experience Revival.

3. It will help you as a Person to devote yourself and your Substance to God.

This is confirmed in Micah 4:13

Now there are certain Elements of Consecration which is important for us to consider.

I want us to open our Bible to Romans 12:1-3:

1. I beseech you therefore, Brethren, by the Mercies of God, that ye Present your bodies a Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable Service.
2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may Prove what is that Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect, Will of God.
3. For I say, through the Grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of Faith.

From this Passage, we can identify three (3) things about Consecration which is important for every House Fellowship Leader to Note:

1. Consecration is a Voluntary Decision.

“I beseech you therefore Brethren by the Mercies of God….”

2. Consecration is a Personal Decision.

“…Present your bodies a Living Sacrifice…..”

3. Consecration is a Sacrificial Decision.

“…..a Living Sacrifice…..”

Based on this, what then are my Roles as House Fellowship Leaders in the House Fellowship Development System of the Redeemed Christian Church of God?

1. Lead a House Fellowship Centre, because House Fellowship is suitable for the Worship of God.

Be like Obededom who released his house for House Fellowship and was actively involved.

And because of this, the Lord blessed him tremendously.

The blessings was so Unique and so great that the king envied him.

I Prophesy to you, the High and the Mighty will envy you – Amen.

2. Be a Host or a Hostess.

Release your home for House Fellowship Meetings just like Obededom did.

3. Attend House Fellowship Meeting.

It is not enough to release your homes, be in attendance and be actively involved.

The early Believers were actively involved in the Service of God in House Fellowship.

4. Care for the Spiritual, Materials, Financial and Other Needs of the Members of your House Fellowship Centre.
5. Engage in Neighbourhood Evangelism.

Encourage establishment of House Fellowship Centers.

Do all this and Pray for the Growth of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

Let me tell you God answers Prayer offered to Him in House Fellowship Centers.

Believers Prayed and Peter who was sentenced to death was brought back to life.

I Prophesy to you in your House Fellowship Centers, there will be Miracles, there will be Signs, there will be Wonders – Sick will be Healed, the Oppressed will be Set Free, the heart of Believers will be gladdened. God will solve all Problems. Sinners will be saved and brought back to the Lord.

Now in conclusion: Brethren, God should come before Growth.

Your life is not just a few years to spend in “Self Indulgence” – Spend your life for God.

And how do you spend your life for God?

Release your Home today for House Fellowship; be actively involved in House Fellowship; be involved in the Life of Others! Impact some lives through your involvement in House Fellowship; be a House Fellowship Leader.

You shouldn’t stop at that: Make sure that you Pray; for the People, Pray for House Fellowship Department and Pray for the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

CLOSING PRAYER

Shall we Pray!

Blessed Redeemer we want to give Thanks to You for the Message.

Thank You Lord for Uour children.

Thank You Daddy because we have make up our mind that we shall be committed to Your Service in the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s House Fellowship.

The Grace to do so Father grant to us.

As You bless Obededom, Father bless Your children – Spiritually, Materially, Physically, Financially.

And in Your Kingdom Daddy, we Pray that none of us shall be found wanting.

Blessed be thy Name Lord.

In Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

THEME: “AND GOD SAID”

PLENARY SESSION 6 TOPIC: GOD SAID: “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH”.

DATE: 9TH AUGUST, 2019

TEXT: ROMANS 1:17

PRAISE THE LORD!

If you are glad to see the breaking of day this morning can you rise on your feet and shout Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!

We must never take God for granted each time we wake up; we must be able to appreciate Him; we are still in the land of the Living.

So with that joy can you wave your hands and just exalt the Almighty – The God Who knows no Impossibility, He sits on the Circle of the Earth; the inhabitance are like grasshopper. The God that brought you into the audience today: either right (in Camp) or anywhere you are watching (or reading) in the world. Give Him Praise, give Him Honour, give Him Adoration.

And I want you to lift your voice and say Father, in the Name of Jesus; I OPEN UP for Your Word; let Your Word reach me at the point of my Need. By this Word today, give me a LIFT IN LIFE! Open your mouth and Pray that Prayer:

Father; we open up to You today, we Plead with You that You will show Yourself Strong and Mighty. As we go into Your Word: let it go with Power, let it go with Precision, let it go with Accuracy. Lord, reach me (2ce). Lord build me by Your Word; the Miracle I have long expected, let it be Delivered.

Our TOPIC is: “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH”.

I want you to receive Grace that your Faith will be lifted up. So you can Possess your Possession.

I want you to begin to give Him Praise because You believe He will do Exceeding Abundantly Above what you can ask or think – because that is His Nature.

OPENING PRAYER

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we Exalt Your Most Holy Name for the privilege to gather at Your feet. We appreciate You for what You have done in time past; and precisely for what You did on Monday, what You did on Tuesday, what You did on Wednesday, and what You did yesterday (Thursday). And we look forward to a Glorious Time today – and we salute You; we bow in awe of You! And we say: Have the RIGHT of way; in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

We plead with You, today will be far Greater than yesterday and tomorrow will be far greater than today. Holy Spirit have Your Right of way as we look at this Subject this morning. Let Faith arise in Your people that they may take hold on You and Possess their Possession.

I pray oh Lord that every doubt, every lack of Faith, every unbelief that has hitherto bastardised anyone; today, they shall give way! In the place of doubt, FAITH will come! Our God will be Glorified and our Joy SHALL BE FULL!

Father, we give You all the Glory, we give You all Honour; You will do more than we can ask or think. Thank You Spirit Divine. Have Your RIGHT of Way!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

… And the people of God say: AMEN!

I want to Thank God for the Salvation of my soul; I want to Thank God for all that God have used to build me up. And specifically, I want to Thank God for our Daddy and our Mummy; they have been a great Inspiration to my life. I have learned so much. And I have been blessed tremendously through them. I appreciate God for them and for the privilege to stand before you today. They have also been a source of bBlessing for my entire family and Calling.

… They shall FINISH STRONG in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

This Morning, we are looking at the Subject: “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH”.

And our Bible Text – We have about three (3) Scriptures that say the same thing.

… Please anytime we talk about any verse; please let us go there, and make sure we are looking into the Word. Because this is vital; even to this TOPIC!

ROMANS 1:17 says: “For therein is as it is written, The Just shall live by faith.”

“… the righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith:”

So wherever Faith is exhibited, there is Righteousness of God is revealed – is Released!

GALATIANS 3:11 says: “But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The Just shall live by faith.”

“… The Just shall live by Faith” – There is no Justification before God, without Faith! The Just shall live by FAITH.

HEBREWS 10:38 says: “Now the Just shall live by Faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no Pleasure in him.”

At least in these three (3) Scriptures, we see this Topic repeated.

From these three (3) Scriptures we see the Topics: “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH”.

And I want us to synthesize this Statement, thus:

1. The JUST – WHO IS THE JUST?

The Just is one that is Justified by God. In ordinary meaning it says somebody behaving according to what is Morally right.

But Biblically, it means: he that has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. Hallelujah! Somebody who has seen himself a sinner and has acknowledged that fact and decides to accept God’s offer.

There is no offer of Justification any other places than in Christ Jesus. So anyone who comes to term with the reality that he is a sinner and also gets the understanding that God sent His Son to die for sinners and he accepts that he is a sinner. And comes to the Father, through Jesus Christ. And opens up and invites Jesus Christ into his or her heart. Such a fellow is JUSTIFIED BY GOD – Hallelujah!

In Romans Chapter 5; the Bible says: “Being Justified by Faith, we have what? We have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Before Salvation; a Life and Destiny is bastardized – such a person it’s injurious to his Generation. But at the point of Salvation (when Jesus is embraced) then Justification comes.

And I hope you know, Salvation comes by Faith! And that is why the Bible Says: “The Just shall live by FAITH!’

There is everything: your starting point is Faith, your middle point is Faith, your end point must be Faith! You have to keep having Faith.

Salvation simply put – in our early days of Salvation; we used to ask ourselves, when we meet somebody: ” Are you Born Again? And the person says”‘YES, am Born Again”. When somebody says: Am Born Again. You ask – “How do you know you are Born Again?” And he says: well, I saw myself doing better than I used to.

You are Born Again Basically. Well as the Bible says that you are a Sinner. In Romans 10:9-10. You Believe that in your heart, that Christ came to save you. 1 Corinthians 15:1-3 also tells us that. So you OPEN UP!

So when we ask that question: “How do you know you are Born again?” – Am Born Again because I have accepted Jesus Christ; I invited Him as my Lord and Saviour. And that makes me a child of God – I became Justified with God.

It is not oh, what has Changed? Or has not Changed!

The Changes start from our Human spirit; every other thing follows as we WALK with Him – Praise the Lord!

So this is important: It is Faith in Christ that brings us into Salvation.

So our Starting Point in our adventure with God is on the Platform of Faith – Hallelujah!

Hebrew 11:6 says:
“But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”

… You can never come to God but by FAITH – Hallelujah!

So this is vital. And then in Romans 4:1-5; it says:

1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Praise the Lord!

The only thing that makes you Justified before God is FAITH – Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!

And so that is what makes you JUST.

The Bible says all our Good Deeds are like FILTHY RAGS before Him. It is not by Works; it is by Faith – Hallelujah!

And Whenever a man takes the step of Faith, he becomes JUSTIFIED before God. Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah?

Then the Bible says: The JUST.

We have looked at the JUST. And am trying to say you: If you are Born Again, you are the Just the Bible is talking about here!

And the Bible now says: “SHALL LIVE!”

What it means is that: The JUST must make sure his or her life – his Modus Operandi (his Operations), his thinking pattern, his IN and OUT is based on what? – ON FAITH!

That means, every facet of life lived; your Communication, your Business life, everything you do, your Relationships, your Marital Life, the kind of Partnership you enter into – everything you do: your going up and down MUST be on that Premise: SHALL LIVE – Hallelujah!

And am Praying that everyone of us will take this Word, it will become a NEW Revelation to us Today! So that we begin to see that there is no short cut, there is no alternative; the only way with God is the way of FAITH – “The Just SHALL LIVE!

Your breathing, your speaking, your moving; everything must be done by Faith. You must not live a single moment of your life in doubt or in the flesh. If not, you will not Please God.

I Prophesy in the Name of Jesus; you shall begin to LIVE BY FAITH (3ce). And God will be Glorified in your life, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

And then it says: Shall Live by “FAITH!”

We will look at what FAITH is! And I like to say to everyone hearing my voice this moment (or reading): “When FAITH is missing, Destiny becomes bastardised”.

But when FAITH returns (and I like to say to you today): no matter what have gone wrong in your Life, what has gone wrong in your Destiny, what has gone wrong in your Marriage, what has gone wrong in your Business, what has gone wrong in your Body – when Faith is RESTORED today; things will fall in line, things will fall in shape.

… No matter how far the devil has gone, when Faith is restored, the devil shall BOW!

And I speak to every circumstances, every situations, every bastardization, everything that has twisted your life! Everything that has edged you in; they shall bow to Faith in the Almighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

… So when Faith is missing there is Bastardization of Destiny.

In Isaiah 42:22; it says: “But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

I stand as God’s Oracle, and I say: there shall be Deliverance for you for every form of prisons in the Almighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

There shall be Restoration by Faith; because your Faith will SPRING FORTH afresh. You will be Strengthened with Might in the inner man. And the Adversary shall loose every battles over your life in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

In Job 6: 8-11 and then Job 19; you are something there again. It is a terrible thing when Faith is missing – Doubt makes a beggar out of somebody who should have abundance. Doubt brings a beggar out of somebody who should be in Abundance.

Everytime you see yourself living a beggarly life – living from hand to mouth; when you find yourself living in Fear and Doubt. Or you find yourself, it is like you don’t know what is happening – Labouring much, but no result; because Faith is missing

… But this morning, Faith shall be Restored (3ce) – Amen!

And I want you to get ready, in your human spirit to embrace what God is saying. Oh, and there shall be a Performance of His Words in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

In Job 19:8-10, it says: “He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. He hath stripped me of my Glory, and taken the Crown from my head. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.”

Now, this is the pathetic situation of any life where Faith is missing. Because the Bible says: “The Just shall leave by Faith! Whenever a man is not living by Faith, this is the result!

And I stand as God’s Oracle today by the Anointing of the Holy Spirit: Every situation that looks like this in every life they shall BOW OUT! They shall BOW OUT!!! Your FAITH will bring them under Captivity in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Hallelujah!

So, let us now look at the Subject “FAITH”.

We have looked at the JUST – somebody saved, Justified by God. When God looks at that person, it is as if he or she has never committed a Sin. And God gives him a clean slate to move on and walk with God.

That is why Jesus said in Matthew 11:28: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

That is not the end of the story; He now expects us to come and LEARN of him. So many people they come to Jesus Christ and then after that, they graduate, they GRADUATE!

What we see today will be impossible if our fathers had “Graduated” after Salvation. No! they sat at the feet of the Master – Hallelujah! To LEARN of Him; and they began to be like HIM. Today we are living Testimonies of the Glorious things that God has done – not only in this Nation but all over the world.

And I see you as next in line of Testifiers. You will be that man that God will also use. You will become an Enigma – “a touch not”. You will become a Danger to the Territory of the Adversary – Amen.

Even the enemy will know who you are by virtue of the level of your Faith and your Understanding of God; in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

SO WHAT IS FAITH?

Hebrews 11:1 says: “Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

That means Faith is never futuristic; Faith is NOW! You think that the Almighty that wrote the Bible (by the Holy Spirit) does not know English? He said NOW! not later, not tomorrow.

How many of us are here, they are saying: NOW? Now is when I will get my Miracle; Now is when I will get my Lifting; Now is when I will be Caterpulted to a New Realm. Now is when my Glory shall be Restored.

So Faith is a Present Tense; NOW! Not later, is not Futuristic. So it says: NOW, Faith is the Evidence of things not seen – Hallelujah! It is the Substance of the Thing Hoped for, the Evidence of Things not seen.

So when we look at Faith therefore, what we see in essence is: Faith is what gives Substance to Hope. Hope is like a skeleton – good for nothing until Faith comes!

There was a case of a man that was dying; he was dying of Starvation – but they didn’t know. His breathing began to go low, and when they tested they discovered it was Starvation. We were told; then somebody told him “if you eat something now, you are going be well and you will not die!

They kept saying that to him; they kept saying it to him. And he kept repeating it – YES I BELIEVE: If I take something NOW, yes, starvation would be swallowed up and I will live!

He kept saying it. As He kept saying it, his breathing kept going lower and lower. And it got to a point, he repeated that same statement and DIED!

… He had HOPE, but he did not have Faith!

In reality, Faith is Believing or taking actions in what you Believe.

There are so many people in the world today who believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; He is the Saviour, He is the Coming King, He is the Only Access to God, He is the Only Access to Heaven, He is the Only One that came and died and lived a Holy Life. They believe it!

But that does not culminate in Faith; they only Believe!

But whenever you Believe, you are expected to put action on what you Believe. And like that Man that died of starvation; if somebody maybe, brought a bottle of coke, or brought bread or just pap, and just let him drink – it would have been more useful than the Word of hope that was Spoken to him. And this distinguishes the difference between Faith and Hope

And each one of us must LEARN, because many times we believe: God can do Wonders, or we believe there is noting He cannot do. And then we keep believing without Corresponding Actions – Hallelujah!

And that is what they call “Faith without Works”. The Bible says, is what? – It is Dead!

And I Prophesy to anyone in the House this moment; who’s Faith is without Works; whose Faith is without corresponding action: Action will locate you, Action will give you a Lifting and you will never be the same again.

If you believe it shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

So let me quickly just run through some Definitions, Comments on FAITH. And we begin to look at HOW TO GET FAITH.

Faith give Substance to Hope. Without Faith, Hope cannot deliver! Faith is the evidence of the Unseen.

Now, let me say it this way; we can say that Faith is what converts the invisible to Visible.

Faith goes into the realm of the Unseen and brings it the realm of that is Available – Hallelujah!

… That is seen! So that’s why it says: “The evidence of things not seen” – The Unseen!

And when it becomes what is seen it can become delivered. – Praise the Lord!

The Bible says that the world that we see came from what we “cannot” see. He didn’t say came from NOTHING! – From what we Cannot see; from the Unseen!

God brought what we see from what we CANNOT see! That is why we call Him “the God we cannot see (we don’t see Him) but we can see the Works of His Hands – Majestic God!

Faith is our Pathfinder! In our sojourn on Earth, we can only navigate. Our navigator is Faith! Faith is what adds colour to Life. Faith is the way of GOD – without it man cannot relate with God – Hebrew 11:6;

So Faith is so Vital; you cannot do anything without Faith. Your Prayer life can only be Buoyant and Fruitful by Faith. Righteousness is impossible but by Faith; A Godly Living is impossible but by Faith.

That is why the Bible says: The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH.

The Bible says: “Whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the Victory that overcomes the world; even our Faith”.

… Oh! what a Great Commodity – The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH!

Please, let me say it this way; many lack the in depth understanding of this fact: That is why whenever people are in Need, they believe, God will do – He can do it. And when they say, Oh, God can do it, “with God all things are possible..” That is where some people end their own understanding of God. They say: Oh, with God all things are Possible.

In one word, they shift responsibility to God. The leper came to Him: “if Thou Will”. I know You CAN, but am not sure if You are Willing – Hallelujah!

And I pray from today; you will not Shift responsibility to God: you will play your part; you will take Action – Hallelujah!

So Faith is you agreeing with what God has SAID and going with God in the direction; ACTING according to what He has required. That is FAITH: It is the way of God; because without it, you can never, NEVER Please God.

Listen to me dearly Beloved, let your life not short charged you; it must be by Faith, if it must Produce.

There will be a Performance of every Word that the Lord has Spoken before you leave this Service, in Jesus Name – Amen.

When Faith comes, you will become as Invisible as God – “To Him that believeth” is equal to God.

When you know what is Written, you are in Charge of what is Happening. My choice is to know His Ways.

How many of us are saying so? Say Father: My choice is to know your Ways and discover what is Written so that I can be in charge of what is happening: From today, I will be in charge of what is happening by Your Ways in the Name of Jesus. (Just say that in 30 seconds as a Prayer) – Father, I stand to locate Your Ways, so that I can be in charged of what is happening. No situations, no circumstances will be beyond me. I receive that Grace today. Thank You Jehovah God!

… In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

FAITH is not a Belief System, rather it is
a SPIRITUAL WEAPON.

Ephesians 6:16; Faith is not not a Belief System, its a DOMINANT FORCE – Hallelujah!

In every situation there is a Dominant Force; when Faith comes, there is Power that is released. When FAITH comes, POWER is released!

… You will Triumph, you will be in Charged, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

When FAITH comes, Power changes hand; all your tormentors will bow! You will Torment them. That’s what happens! Faith changes the Battle Plans. Faith will always deliver in the midst of trouble;

… From today, your Faith will deliver you, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

When Faith shows up, it delivers! Just as it will do in America, just as it will do all over the world: in the midst of trouble, Faith will always deliver!

From today, your Faith will deliver (2ce); in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

In Numbers 13; we see something – God told Moses to tell the people: give Me one (1) person per Tribe. So let there be twelve (12) Spies – let them go and search out the Land; that wonderful Land Am giving you – I want you to see it. So that you can come back with Report; so the people will know that it is truly in existence. And everything I have said, as I have said it, so it is – And so, the Twelve (12) were sent.

All they told them was: Look out that; that Land is flowing with Milk and Honey (the fruits, the blessings). It didn’t say look at the people. But ten (10) people got there, and they were looking at the Giants.

And they came back with Obnoxious, Nonsense Report. But two (2) people (Joshua and Caleb) said: Let us go quickly, we are able to take the Land.

That is Word of FAITH – Hallelujah!

And their Faith dominated the negative circumstances that those people brought forth.

… We are Able (3ce)!!!

It is your duty to put ACTION to what you believe; that is that aspect of Speaking.

They said: We’re ABLE! That’s what we see exactly that happened to Abraham. The Bible says “he staggered not at the Promise”.

There is a little thing I just want to bring up for us to look at, when we are talking about Faith: HOW IT WORKS!

… After that, am just going to be talking a little on: HOW WE CAN BUILD OUR FAITH.

I have shown you the BEAUTY OF FAITH – The Colour of Faith. How it adds to Destinies – Faith Viability! There’s nothing, no obstacle it cannot CRUSH! Because when you are operating in Faith; you are committing God – Hallelujah!

In Romans 4:20-21, it says: “He staggered not at the Promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving Glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had Promised, He was able also to Perform.”

Please take Note of three (3) words there – PROMISE, PERSUASION and PERFORMANCE. Those three (3) were KEY that helped Father Abraham!

Listen! If you are going to operate in Faith, you have to understand this: “He did not STAGGER”.

And it is important, if you will not stagger, there are some things that must be in place.

… Now, when I make that explanation, we look at HOW we can BUILD our FAITH.

Persuasion and Performance rest upon His PROMISE! If am going to use a Physics term: The “Fulcrum” on which Persuasion and Performance rest is PROMISE!

Promise is the Central Figure that balances and makes it possible for Performance to come; based on what you are Persuaded! And that Persuasion must be based on the Word of God.

… So the “Fulcrum” on which Persuasion and Performance rest, is the Promise!

Please dearly Beloved, the Promise is the KEY to Faith! Takeaway the Promise, nothing to be Persuaded about. Then, there is no Performance.

Abraham had his Promise – I will make you Father of many Nations; through you all families of the Earth SHALL BE BLESSED. That was a Promise!

God deals with us through Covenants, through Promises nd there are thousands of them!

But most importantly, when you become a child of God, you enter into COVENANT – And the Blessings of Abraham become translated into your Account; become possible for you to handle.

That is why in Galatians 3:13 (downwards); Christ became a curse so that we can inherit the blessings – Hallelujah! So, it is your duty!

1. WHAT DO YOU WANT PERFORMANCE ON?

What is the Promise? You must understand that Promise – you must understand it to a position you are PERSUADED: He’s Able – Hallelujah!

That’s what Paul said: “I know who I believe; and am persuaded He’s able to keep that which I commit unto Him against that day”.

The same thing with Father Abraham: “he being fully persuaded that what He had Promised, He was able to PERFORM!

… You must not shift! Your persuasion must be RIGID – Immovable!

Those Testimonies our Daddy shared, the people were Persuaded: “Touching this ground, will give the Miracle”. They did not shift!

There were reasons for them to be Persuaded otherwise; they refused to: Just take me to the Camp! Even a man that was Insane, the insanity was withdrawn a little for him to say: Just take me to the RCCG Camp.

You are Persuaded. You don’t shift ground. This is very important, the Promise is KEY to Persuasion.

Listen carefully, if you are Persuaded about what the Government has said; If you are Persuaded about what your family have said; it is possible to FAIL. But Persuasion on the PROMISES of GOD is FOREVER STABLE! It will always deliver!

So anybody who wants True Persuasion (and this is how Faith is built);
Whenever there’s an issue in your life, locate what GOD HAD SAID: your Prosperity, your Healing, your being able to get a child, your getting a good job, your living a life that’s above Poverty, your Health! Your Lifting, your Promotion, your Glory, your ability not to be Stagnant.

… LOCATE what He has PROMISED! Think on it over and over again.

And listen to me, dearly Beloved; the characteristics of His Promises are Vital; and they are many – Praise the Lord!

In 1 Kings 8:56, the Bible says: “There hath not failed one Word of all His Good Promise, which he Promised by the hand of Moses his servant.”

No Word of God will forever fail. His Promises will never fail. Whatsoever the Mouth of God Speaks; His Hands will DELIVER! Our God is not a Politician, that makes empty Promises.

“Forever oh Lord, Thy Word is SETTLED in Heaven”.

This is how to breed Faith; you come, you reason about it. But on many occasions, the reason many are down in their Faith is because they are looking at the problem – they are looking at the situation; they are trying. They say: well, let us be realistic. Let us use common sense.

Oh! What an uncommon person you are (lwhen you are using common sense!

… If you don’t want to be COMMON; Stop using common sense! Stop rationalizing!

What He said with His mouth to David, it became fulfilled in Solomon. When they were Dedicating the Temple. And the man said: “What You Spoke to my father, David; is what You have caused to happen in my life time.

I see what God had SPOKEN, fulfilled in your life; in the Name of Jesus -Amen!

You must be Persuaded, don’t shift your ground. Don’t let anybody Persuade you otherwise.

1. Not only that; HIS PROMISES ARE GROUNDED AND ANCHORED IN CHRIST: In Him they are Yea and they are Amen!

Corinthians 1:20 (I will just mention the Scriptures, so we can run faster).

1. HIS PROMISES ARE OF INFINITE VALUE – they are not Temporal; they are forever.

Psalms 119:89 ” Forever oh Lord, Thy Word is settled in Heaven”.

And am Praying, as you are hearing this Word: Faith begins to grow in you – Faith to Take, Faith to Deliver, Faith for Performance – begin to Grow in You; in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

1. EVERY PROMISE IS AN EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISE.

2 Peter 1:4; not only is God a constant K. At anytime Kingdoms will come and go;

Philosophies will come and go. But our God will never fail. He is the same Yesterday, and Today, and Forever; He is forever the SAME! – Hebrews 13:8.

Numbers 23:19 says: “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He Spoken, and shall He not make it Good?”

James 1:5-6 says: He gives to those who don’t waver; who don’t DOUBT – Hallelujah!

… “What His Mouth Speaks; His HAND WILL DELIVER.

Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah?

Ephesians 3:20 says: “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us,”

That is the God who keeps Promise! It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away. But no jot of His Word will go unfulfilled – “Forever oh Lord, Thy word is settled in Heaven” – He’s a Constant K.

In my little life time, I have seen many Presidents, I have seen many Politicians (at various levels). Most times, when they are coming, when you see them with great Hope! But as they come in, Hope begins to diminish.

But our God is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever. The God that took Israel through the wilderness journey. As they were growing – their shoes and their clothes were growing with them; nobody was permitted to do them harm. He has not CHANGED – Hallelujah!

… He is the Same and SAME FOREVER!

Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah?

1. HE HAS THE ABILITY; that is Power, Strength and Virtue. Because whenever He speaks: He speaks in His capacity as GOD – The CREATOR of the Heaven and the Earth.

… You need this FOR YOU TO BE PERSUADED – Hallelujah!

Now, what we are saying is this: Whenever He gives you a Promissory Note (He gives you a cheque); Oh, it is as good as a CASH upfront! Whatsoever He says; SHALL BE DONE!

Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah?

So, when He says: “Sing oh Barren!” Oh when you believe it, you will go to the market and begin to buy your Baby things; and start calling the names your babies will carry. Because the One that has Spoken has never lied before. He has Spoken in His capacity as God.

… Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah?

And this God is Able, He is Able to deliver; He is Able to raise children from stones. Our Daddy said it yesterday – Luke 3:8; Matthew 3:9 – Our God is able to do seemingly impossible things.

Mark 10:2; 2 Corinthians 9:8 – “He can make all Grace abound towards you”.

There is no situation in the life of any man that God doesn’t have answer to. You need to locate it. Go for what is Written; become Persuaded of what is written. Stay on what is written. Keep Hope alive on what is written. Act on what is written.

… And there shall be a PERFORMANCE; in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

1. HE IS ABLE TO SUBDUE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF.

That is why we can rest on His Promises – He is able to keep what is committed to Him. 2 Timothy 1:12; that is why we can rest on Him. It says: “He’s able to save to the outermost”. That is why we can rest on Him.

Now, these are the “Fulcrum” for Performance – Hallelujah! You are PERSUADED: this God CAN – Amen!

1. HE IS ABLE TO MAKE YOU STAND.

Romans 14:4 says: “He is able to keep you from falling”.

Jude 24, Ephesian 3:20 says: He is able to do much more than you want to ask for. Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 25:9; He is able to destroy body and soul in Hell. He is able to give Grace to bear Temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13; He is able to succour the tempted – Hebrews 2:18.

This is the God we are talking about! So all that is left, is to become Persuaded.

Paul said: I know who I believe; and I am Persuaded – Hallelujah!

And this is how Faith; now at the point of Salvation a measure of Faith is deposited to every Believer. It is our duty to Build this Faith:

Whatsoever God has Promised require your Faith for it to be delivered. And it is so amazing; many times in Christiandom we have this notion, that once He has Promised, that is the end of story.

But I want us to look at a few Scriptures very quickly: Ezekiel 36:33-38; and get some facts. This is why many are where they are today. That is why many are living below standard. That is why others are blossoming, some people are just languishing.

But today; there id a Game Changer – He will step in and something will Change!

Now let me make this comment very quickly as we look at this issue. Now please listen to this: By the Grace of God, I have been on this Camp for some decades. I have been under the Ministration of our Daddy; and some of: “GOD SAID there is someone here”.

When you rationalize it; it looks one kind! But just wait and see; just a little while. People come and do what? And bring Testimonies!

You know, when GOD SAID, it could be for a man. But others key in by Faith. It is possible for the man who owns that Word not to get any blessing – because Faith is not there.

Do you know there are some things that are said, and we look at it – We weight it as nothing! Some people don’t even believe the Word. But when others are swimming with Testimonies, then they grumble. But you will no longer grumble, because you will stretch your Faith.

You know, what am trying to say is this, you may be in a Meeting, “Thus saith the Lord” (they may not mention your case). Now this is what more than ten (10) people – particularly in Ministry have told me. They say: if Mountain cannot come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the mountain. It is just that you get Solution.

If no Word comes to you; there is so much that has been Spoken about you – Genesis to Revelation (There is a lot that has been said). What am saying in essence is this: You can ride on the Faith of the Man of God, the Anointing they have – just embrace it, and you will get your Miracle.

… But if no Word came to HOLD TO; you can Produce Faith – Hallelujah!

That woman was not resting on the Faith of anybody. She came to that Meeting, only to touch the helm of His Garment. So you, if no Word comes for you; you can raise one. The Word of God has a lot it has Spoken about you.

And then you see yourself cropping Miracles; harvesting Wonders and Signs. And that shall be your portion, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Ezekiel 36:33-38;

33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Which means, God is waiting for you to release your Faith to Get it. It is there for taking; but you must be ready to Embrace it. May you Embrace it. You might get home and read Isaiah 62:1, 6-7.

So, it is important you get these facts, so that you can move from one level of Glory to another.

In Ezekiel 47; we see the River – from the ankle to knee, from the knee to the loins; until it became a River that could not be passed through; you needed to Swim. Those are levels of Glory!

In 2 Corinthians 3:18;
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.”

As we behold Christ, move from Glory to GLORY! It says: “The Oath of the Just shall shine brighter and brighter”. That is what God expects of every Believer: no downward trend, no stagnancy, no failure, no Lack!

And I Prophesy; that becomes your portion from TODAY, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Having talked so elaborately on the issue of Faith, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH”; We have defined FAITH. The LAST THING I will like to run over is:

1. BUILDING UP YOUR Faith – You need to build your Faith.

At Salvation, it took a step of Faith for you to be saved. God wants you to keep it up; build it, grow it. And the Bible says, even when your Faith is like the mustard seed – it will bring Signs and Wonders.

So, Believers must spend time to build Faith.

In Romans 10:17; the Bible says: Faith cometh by Hearing. Hearing what? – THE WORD OF GOD! Hallelujah!

It is important that we get this fact: the Word must come to you. You need Access to the Revelation of the Word of God. And this is our CORE BUSINESS as Believers!

You know, Paul said to Timothy: Fight the Good Fight of Faith. Life is a Warfare; life is not Konfu! Life is not just Bread and Butter – life does not give you what you deserve, it gives you what you DEMAND!

Whenever you Place a Demand in life; Life will surrender by Faith!

So we are to go for Revelation. And every time you come here, every time I come here: I see Revelation released to my life.

The way our Daddy expand the Word, you will ask yourself: all the years if being in Faith, I have been reading this Scripture -Revelation!

Can somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah?

So, you are to go for Revelation (of the WORD!). The Word is important, you go for it. And when you are going for the Word; spend time to Fast, spend time to Pray, Study the Word, Meditate on the Word. Let there be great Preparation, let there be Meekness in your heart, to embrace the Word of God – so that God can be Glorified in your life – Hallelujah!

Run through the Scriptures and see the Wonders of God that Jesus performed – THINK on them!

Philippians 4:8 says: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS”

That is what you THINK ON!

As you meditate on the Word of God, the Wonders of God begin to apply to your life. It is important, the Word of God must cease from what is Written, to what you CAN SEE!

Habakkuk 2:1 says: “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.”

It is our duty to let the Word translate from what is written to what we can see. That brings understanding. We can then hold to it. And that is a Promise you can rest upon – the Miraculous become the order of the day in your life.

.. You will never be the same again! Go for the Word. Go for Revelation, give into the Word – sit at His Feet – LEARN!

Locate what is Written on your situation, meditate on it. And then Apply it.

And then you also you also get Faith by PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST. You Pray in the Spirit, you keep Praying in the Spirit.

And then, Faith Works by Action: You put into place what you believe, to happen. And there shall be a Performance. Not a single Word of God will Fail; it will always have its Partner.

And I Prophesy to your life from today; you will never be the same again. You are changing LEVEL!l – Amen!

Can we rise to our feet? Stand up! And just wave your hands one (1) second; just wave it, appreciate God.

And then open your mouth and declare: I will GO for the Word, I will Pray in the SPIRIT, I will pray in my understanding, I will SEEK the Lord, I will FAST, I will get Revelation, and I will stand in the Promises of God. There shall be a Performance!

… Thank You Jesus!
