Engaging the Turnaround Power of Faith Part 4c

Pastor Israel Akinsanya 

Enough is Enough Service

Matthew 15:21-28

The Canaanite woman came prepared to go home with her miracle, no matter the obstacles. She was not ready to give up no matter how much abuse and insults she had to endure. 

Hebrews 4:1-3, everything about your life was already concluded before you were born.

Matthew 9:29, but it is your faith that determines what you get in this Kingdom. The quality and quantity of life you enjoyed is not determined by the economy but determined by the level of your faith per time. 

This was not the only ministry commissioned in 1981, but how many of them have the same impact like Living Faith Church Worldwide? The world will not give to you what you deserve. You must take it. 

Faith is a universal currency that will get to you anything you need. The currency of faith is stronger than any currency of the world. You can be in Nigeria and your foreign currency account is daily increasing. This is why you should not play with the word of God.

Romans 1:16, a person operating in faith will lose the consciousness of their environment. Faith will help you to have a glimpse of what you are entitled to in heaven. You will use your faith to bring it into physical reality, Romans 8:32. 

What is faith?

Faith is not a religious ideology. It is a spiritual mystery. 1 Timothy 3:9; Hebrews 11:11. Christianity is not a religion; because religion is ritualistic. Christianity is a way of life centred on the word of God, 1 Timothy 3:9. 

What is a mystery?

Divine secrets kept since the foundation of the world. You can’t have access to divine secrets and not have an impact in this world. Sarah went back to the school of faith and obtained divine energy to conceive seed despite being past the age of conception.

Faith is not just believing God but obeying God to prove that we believe Him so He can perform His purpose in our lives as we saw in Abraham, Genesis 12:1-4; 17:17-23; 22:16-18; Romans 4:12. Most times, we don’t see these things in our lives because there is still an element of doubt and fear in our hearts. If you truly believe, you will obey. Anytime you are struggling with any instruction, it is a proof that you don’t believe. If you truly believe, you will never need the encouragement of any mortal man to take daring steps. 

You can’t dictate to God. There is no mountain insurmountable to a person of faith.

Faith is not a belief system; it is engaging with the power of God, Luke 8:43-48; Acts 14:9-10.

How powerful is this faith?

Faith is the substance of redemption. Remove faith from redemption and what remains is a dead religion, John 3:16. Faith is the connecting rod to eternal life. Acts 6:7. 

Faith is according to everyone’s belief.

Faith provokes the healing virtue that makes whole, Luke 8:40-48.

Every great story in the Kingdom is by grace through faith. It is not a crime to start small.

Examples here include:

Salvation, deliverance, breakthroughs, etc. Ephesians 2:8; Danie 6:23; Hebrews 11:29-34

You need to grow your faith. If your faith is not growing, you will groan in the future. The reason there is so much groaning in the body of Christ today is because people have become social media content creators. When a pastor would write a book and be afraid to input scriptures in it, they have shifted to Psychology. 

If your faith must keep growing, you must daily keep craving for the truth of the word of God. One must crave for deeper understanding of the truth because it is the principal resource for building faith, Daniel 9:2; Acts 8:26-35; 2 Timothy 2:15; 4:1. No power of darkness can challenge light. 

One must understand the steps taken by others to get their testimony, Psalm 119:111,144; Revelation 12:11; Isaiah 8:15,20.

As no one can develop our muscles for us, we can only be taught how to develop our faith by ourselves. No one will develop it for us. A great star is made by discipline, Isaiah 51:1-3; Romans 4:12. Plan your life towards retirement. We need to cry to God, just like blind Bartimeaus did to call for Christ’s help.
