Faith: The Principle Element of life

 

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man drawback, my soul shall no pleasure in him” (Hebrews 10:38). 

Everything in the kingdom of God functions by the principle of faith. That is why the bible says the just shall live by faith. It did not say the just shall live by righteousness, but by faith.  This shows just how important faith is and why the ` Faith-message` should be taken very seriously by anyone who desires to live a successful life in God’s kingdom.

Without faith, you would not function well on your job, in your business, family, academics, finances, health or ministry. You cannot even keep the devil under your feet where he belongs without faith!

Everything about your life is hinged on your understanding of this subject of Faith.

You cannot understand righteousness without faith, just as it is impossible for you to demonstrate the God-kind of love without faith.

The Bible says” faith works by love” (Galatians 5:6), love also works by faith. In today’s word, where there is so much evil and wickedness, you can only walk in love and live peaceably among all men as the bible instructs to do, by Faith.

 It takes Faith to listen and not to respond in bitterness when someone speaks evil of you. It takes faith to remain unruffled and still love those who criticize and despitefully use you.

 It takes faith to hold your head up and not let what your critics say cause you to react negatively. It takes faith not to wish evil for those who hate, mistreat and misjudge you.

You see the faith way, is the only way for Christian.

Take a step with your faith and believe God for things to change in your life, family, job, studies, health business. In addition, you will see God’s glory manifest in your life.

 

Increase your potential 

Remember, Jesus made this world. The Bible says without Him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:3). There was nothing in the system of this that wasn`t subject to Jesus. He exercised dominion over all things. He tamed them by His words- faith-filled words!

He spoke to maimed limbs, corpses, deaf ears. Blind eyes, cripple limbs, demons of darkness, fishes, trees and they obeyed Him. He tamed the laws of nature and transcended them. He was never a victim. He walked on water, spoke to the wind and calmed the storm! When He encountered the leprous and said, “Be clean”, the leprosy disappeared. He knew who He was! He was never afraid of anything. Everyone wondered at him when He spoke. He spoke plainly in declaring His identity. He said and my Father are one (john 10:30); He walked in union with the Father.

Just like Jesus, the words we speak are spirit and they are life (john 6:63). They are potent; they have power ability, overcoming and prevailing over devils, adversities and every negative circumstance of life.

This is why it is so important that we talk like Jesus by releasing faith-filled words.

No wonder john cried,” This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).

 Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Our faith has supernatural power to conquer, tame and subdue the world.

 With your faith, you can do more than you can imagine. You can believe to become God`s instrument of glory. You can declare good words over your children and they shall prosper. You can believe God for  increase of  your income, new connection, doors  opportunities for your business, great expansion for your ministry, success in your studies, supernatural encounters, health and wealth, Hundred folds harvest and they shall all come to pass  in Jesus `name!.

 Understand this: you can have your life under control; your destiny is not in the hands of anybody. You can go anywhere you choose to go; Have every good things you desire; live a supernatural life of prosperity and be all-round successful. How? It is by putting your faith to work, for faith always works!

 

The power is within you

 

When someone is born again, automatically he takes the son ship position in God`s kingdom. He is a child of God right away. And the Holy Spirit in him would begin to change his personal life, his thoughts and mind change as he starts maximising his potential.

The Spirit of God dwells in us today. If we have faith, we can begin to see the situation of our life changing. The power of God is in us to fulfil the purpose of God.  Do you believe that God lives inside of you? Do you know that the Holy Spirit is God’s third personality in you? Well it is time to start believing in the potential, which is inside of you.

No situation can remain constant if you act upon the principles of God`s word and begin to declare everything positively.

Is there anything wrong with you? Do you suffer from an incurable disease? Do you have a financial meltdown? Well the solution for your situation is in you, you can change your situation for good by declaring the word by faith;

Miracles can happen in your life today if you understand your authority in Christ Jesus.

 Understand this. The power of God was given to you to do the impossible. You can declare victory over death, blessings in times of need and God’s goodness and mercy over your household.

God wants you to start believing in the potential that is inside of you. No matter how desperate your situation may look, just believe in the power of God in you to change your life.

 

You are anointed 

You are no longer an ordinary human being since the Holy Spirit lives you. You have the nature of God through His Spirit at this point.

When the Holy Spirit overshadows you, the situations of your life change.  Closed doors begin to open up, the enemy is under your footstep; the word says: “when the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of Lord will lift up a standard against Him” Isaiah 59:19

Today you can do exactly same things Jesus did if you believe. You can prosper beyond measure and become a miracle worker. Jesus said: “Verily, Verily I said unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my father” John 14:12 KJV

He said: “because I go to my father”, and the word father in Hebrew is “Abba”, literally meaning source`. That’s to say, Jesus was going to take back the position he had from the beginning as source of all things so that the Spirit would begin to do the work of God through you today. “For the Spirit couldn’t descend if Jesus did not ascend first.”

The bible says: “on the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believe on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of water. (But He spoke of the Holy Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified”. (John 7:37-39 KJV)

The book of Joel 2:28-32 Says:  “  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall have dreams, your young men visions...,  30- And I will show signs and wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke...,32- And it shall come to pass that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

You`re empowered to bring your family into excellence, to take care of your finances, job, or businesses; to change your community or nation at large. In fact, you have been anointed to influence the whole world with your gift and vision. The anointing of God in you is ready to destroy the yoke of sin, sickness, poverty, divorce and curses in your life.

There is more anointing in you to heal the sick, cast out devils and raise the dead. You can build orphanages, schools or universities. You can influence government and societies.  You can bring deliverance and liberty to the captives and comfort to the broken hearted. 

  

You will succeed 

I believe everything in life exists for a purpose and the reason God created you is to be rule, be fruitful and have dominion.

Bear in mind that Jesus Christ the Son of God was not born in Jerusalem the City of Kings, but in Bethlehem. Why did God choose Bethlehem regarding the birth of Jesus? It is because God sees potential where we see no potential.

In the bible, no leader was born great. All of them came out of scratch, but by trusting in the word of God, they succeeded in all things.

It does not matter where you come from, if you have enough faith, God will cause good things to come your way.

When you put your trust in God’s word, He gives you power to overcome the circumstances of life. It is written in Genesis 1:28: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”.

Note in this verse, everything was good until man lost his dominion because of His disobedience. Today, this authority or dominion was restored since you became Christian, for the bible says: “But as many have received Him (Jesus), He has given them the power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

There is much power in you to succeed in life. God has given you all power and it is up to you to use it. It cost God nothing when He created the heavens and the earth. He just spoke the word and things came into existence; likewise, as Child of God, you have the ability to declare life and prosperity. God can call things that are not as though there were. You too can do the same, for such Father, such son.

 Romans 4:17 says: “As it is written I have made thee a father of many nations, He (Abraham), Believed in God even who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though there were”. (KJV)

You can become anybody in life if you know how to declare the word.  Angels are waiting for you to release the word to move on behalf.                                                                          

Your situation can change now as you decide to exercise the power that God has placed in you.

 

Prayer

 

Pray this way!

God, I thank you for showing me that I have

More power than I thought.

Now, I take charge of my life and my future.

I command my blessing to come to me,

From today, I’m no longer the tail, but the Head.

The enemy is under my feet.

I am blessed and victorious,

In Jesus `name. Amen! 

 

Do not look at what is behind you

 

“Do not conform yourselves to the standard of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God” (Romans.12:2). 

God always works from inside out. Satan works just the opposite; he works from the outside in. He works to destroy your life through outward temptations and struggles that only eat away at you on the inside.

Many times, we hide unresolved issues from our past under a multitude of disguises. We try to overcome rejection and insecurity by losing weight, working out, dressing cute and appearing confident. We hide pain under a smile. We say we have forgiven someone for the hurt they caused in our life, but we vow to never get that close to anyone again. We cover our shame by a series of church activities to hopefully earn God’s love.

As long as we are suppressing things from the past, the “infection” or “wound” of what happened to us is killing us inside. It does not matter what happens outwardly in our life; nothing will truly make us happy and fulfilled until we allow God to completely get our junk out of us.

Right now, you may be reading this book and not even realize there is something inside of you that must be uprooted and dealt with, because it’s “polished over”. Or you may be reading this book because you’ve reached a desperate point in your life and you’re looking for answers, hope and help. You know something or someone who is keeping you back from being who God wants you to be.

It’s important that you realize that you cannot change anything. You cannot change what happened. You cannot change how you acted. You cannot change yesterday. You cannot even change yourself. However, God can. God can change your hurt in your life into a testimony for someone else. He can take every tear you`ve ever shed and replace it with hope, purpose and vision for your life! He can turn your sadness into joy and make beauty out of ashes.

You are who you say you are

 

Christianity is not a dead beat religion consisted of human traditions, rituals and customs; it is a life changing experience!

The reality of a Christian's life differs from a non-Christian’s because this one is a “Spirit led life”. A born again Christian experiences a progressive transformation of the tongue from the day he or she receives the Holy Spirit. “Therefore if   a man be in Christ, he is a new creature: Old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” (2 Corinthian.5:17 KJV).

You have to understand that there are both life and death in the power of the tongue. The bible says: “the tongue of the just is as choice silver” (Proverbs.10:20)

With your tongue, you can shape your future, build a nation or destroy an entire generation. God wants you to use our tongue positively in spite of the circumstances you are in. 

There is power in the tongue that is why you need to use it wisely.  With our tongue, we bless and with the same tongue we curse also. God has given everyone a free will to take charge of everything and those who know how to use their tongues will eat the best fruits.

Remember, when Adam was in the Garden of Eden, God gave him power and dominion over all things. After that, he then received also the power to name everything living on the surface of the earth. “And Adam gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every wild beast of the field”

(Genesis.2:20)

Then every creature’s name given by him, determined the nature as well as the characteristics of them.  In other word, “Adam blessed the creation instead of cursing”. I believe if we bless our children with good names, they will become whatever we are calling them to be. If we give them bad names, their lives will certainly reflect the same image these names characterise.

Likewise, whatever you say about yourself may affect your life one way or another. Whatever you say may become reality. If you do not want your situations to become unchangeable, watch over your words! 

 

Your Mouth is the key to open doors 

Your breakthrough depends on the power of your tongue. All has to do with what is coming out of your mouth. Proverbs 18:21 says that what you actually say releases the power of life and death: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will east its fruits”.

While the battle for your life is being fought in your mind, your mouth is the most powerful weapon you have against the enemy! It is the weapon in combating your worst thoughts. Let me explain. You defeat wrong thoughts with your words, not with your mind. You cannot try hard to think about something else until your bad thoughts go away. It is just a matter of time before your mind will go right back to where it wanted to be.

Remember this, the Key to Changing your life from hopeless to hopeful, from discouraged to encouraged, from broken hearted to being made whole, from depressed to joyful, from wounded to be healed, from passive to aggressive, from existing to visionary is the power of your tongue.
