Introduction
Isaiah 22:22
“God will not be pleased with anything other than Open Doors this year,” Bishop David Oyedepo
Between a wonder and a wanderer, the difference is faith. The condition of any country not withstanding, doors can never be shut against the person operating in faith. It is by all means; you can’t hinder a person that is endued by faith. Where there is faith, there must always be a way out of any predicament, no matter how long it has been there. We are in a world of according to your faith.
Understanding is knowledge with conviction. It is knowledge rooted in full persuasion, without any iota of doubt. When understanding comes, you are guaranteed quality life and a long life.
The topmost top is the plan of God for the children of God irrespective of their colour, background or political affiliation. Redemption guarantees a reserved place for you. Matthew 5:13, the savour of the salt is faith. A Christian without it is a failure, always looking for pity. No devil has the wherewithal to cover your destiny, because you are the light of the world.
Acts 10:34,35, you are not an ordinary person. God has no respect of persons as it is the same blood of Jesus and the Holy Ghost for everyone.
You must carry a positive mentality. Romans 10:5-17; Ezekiel 21:27. If you don’t have faith, it is because of what you are hearing. The first realm of hearing is knowledge while the second realm is understanding. Any area of your life where you are challenged is that area where you have not heard to the point of understanding. Romans 1:16,17, there is power of God in His word. If you are just but don’t have faith, it becomes a threat to your life.
God wants us to build our faith to the point where no demonic threat can stop the manifestation of His purpose for our lives. Psalm 119:18, it takes genuine labour in the word of God for faith to grow. John 6:63, faith is a spiritual energy. What you could not do before, you just find yourself doing it, Hebrews 4:11,12.
Faith is a personal asset that is inestimable, Matthew 7:21
Habakkuk 2:4
Romans 10:17
Hebrews 10:38
It is possible to live a righteous life and still die without the faith benefits. Every just person would only live by faith.
How to build your faith
Faith grows by hearing and understanding the word of God, Acts 8:26-37. The Ethiopian eunuch believed and he was baptised. It is not money you need; it is the supernatural. If your faith is up to it, you will experience it.
Faith grows by meditating on the word because meditation boosts spiritual understanding, Psalm 119:97-100. That is where you draw the juicy part of the word of God into your spirit.
But to build your faith, you must be born again and remain so.
You must be spiritual, Romans 8:16
Crave for revelation in that area of your need, Isaiah 55:1,11,
Engage the Holy Ghost to reveal all things to you, John 14:26; John 16:12,13
Altar call
You want to give your life to Christ, come and receive Him today. Except a person is born again, they are dead. Pray this prayer below to receive the life of Jesus Christ and be alive to eternity.
Lord Jesus, I have come to you today. Save my soul and accept me in the beloved. I repent of all my sins and renounce the devil and his works. Thank you for saving me.
Postscript
John 6:51-53, the communion is the life of God, which can never be harassed or intimidated.
