YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN FAITH IF THOSE WHO SURROUND YOU TALK AND SPEAK NEGATIVE
YOUR SPIRITUAL EXPLOITS AND RESULTS ARE ANCHORED ON YOUR FAITH
THE AIM OF THE ENEMY’S CONFRONTATION OF FAITH IS TO OCCASION THE FAILURE OF FAITH
FAITH MUST NOT FAIL, BECAUSE IF THE JUST LIVES BY FAITH, IT MEANS WHEN FAITH FAILS, LIFE IS AT RISK
THE PRESENCE OF THE WORD IS THE PRESENCE OF FAITH
WHAT YOU’RE HEARING IS EITHER FEEDING YOUR FAITH OR FUELLING YOUR FEAR
SMITH WIGGLESWORTH NEVER LISTENS TO DETAILS OF ANYBODY’S SICKNESS BEFORE PRAYING FOR THEM
– Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche on “Helping (Enhancing) your Faith” Midweek Service Glory Dome – Abuja.
Romans 10:8,17. The Lord bless His Word in Jesus’ name.
I’m speaking on the subject “Helping (Enhancing) your Faith”. Our objective is to understand what it takes to help one’s Faith to stand.
By way of introduction, it’s important that we know that Faith is so crucial to the very existence of the child of God. Habakkuk 2:4. So, the enemy deliberately attacks and confronts the Faith of the saints. 1 Timothy 6:12. So, Faith is a fight. 2 Timothy 4:6-7.
So, if Faith must be kept, there’s a fight. On a continuous basis, the enemy fights Faith.
It is the confrontation of conviction, trying to do things and cause things that try to undermine your belief, to shake your conviction, but he’s a loser. That is why Faith must be helped to stand because the aim of the enemy’s confrontation of Faith is to occasion the failure of Faith. He confronts Faith to make it fail. Luke 22:31-32.
The reason why he (the devil) wants to shake you is to cause your faith to fail. That devil is a bastard liar. Faith must not fail, because if the Just lives by Faith, it means when Faith fails, life is at risk. If your life is hanging on your Faith and the devil brings you to a point where you don’t know what to believe, it means he can cut you anytime and that is not your portion.
So, we must make up our minds to maintain the confrontation.
About 37 years ago around the year of 1986, I was going to do deliverance for somebody, overnight till morning, the enemy attacked me with an oppression and the statement is, “you need prayer, who are you going to pray for?” That was the aim.
That is, I had a confrontation overnight that under normal circumstances should require that somebody prays for me but when I dared that devil, said, “you came too late.
This deliverance schedule is on schedule and it will hold”. It was a spirit of witchcraft, I went and cleared those devils out. While I was praying, her eyes were open in the spirit and I said, “tell me what’s going on”, she said, “I see dogs running out of me”.
She was delivered, got married, got children. So, the devil, where are you now? He came to shake my Faith, he came to confront my conviction, he came to say, “Physician, heal yourself”. Matthew 11:12.
That time I had rededicated my life just within the past one year but we were so much on fire that we were delivering people already.
That is why you must make up your mind because the exploits you will make are at the mercy of your Faith. Your spiritual exploits and results are anchored on your Faith. So, if the devil causes your Faith to fail, then your results disappear.
What are the things that will enhance your Faith?
What do you do to enhance your Faith?
1. Continually feed your spirit with the Word of God. Hebrews 13:7. The presence of the Word is the presence of Faith. To connect with Word is to connect with Faith. Acts 6:7. As the Word exploded, Faith exploded. 1 Thessalonians 1:8. As the Word sounded, Faith explodes.
2. Avoid the company of negative talkers and negative people. You will never be able to remain in Faith if those who surround you talk negative and speak negative. Numbers 13:33. Numbers 14:1-3.
The children of Israel listened to negative talkers and negative people until Faith gave way for fear. Deuteronomy 2:25. What you hear determines what you fear.
There’s a connection between your hearing and your fearing. When the devil wants you to fear things, he will make you to begin to hear things.
There are people who heard about certain kinds of diseases until they got it. Everywhere they go, the devil just keeps them hearing it. What you hear determines what you fear and what you hear determines how you fare. What you’re hearing is either feeding your Faith or fuelling your fear, for Faith cometh by hearing, fear also cometh by hearing. Am I communicating?
There are people who have details of things that you don’t need to hear. Smith Wigglesworth would never hear the detailed story of anybody’s sickness. When you make the first statement, you know what the man will tell you? “Shut up. Don’t quench my Faith”.
He says your talking is attacking his Faith, he doesn’t need the details, he wants to clear out that devil. You don’t bring newspapers into his house.
The first time Lester Sumrall was visiting Smith Wigglesworth, he had a newspaper under his arm, he said, “what are you carrying there? What is under your arm? Don’t bring that bunch of lies here”.
There are people CNN is their own TBN and other channels. “We want to tell you about the earthquake in Turkey and from there, there was a lot of terrorists attacks in Afghanistan and from there, some people’s head were cut off”.
By the time you finish hearing that throughout the day, in the dream of the night, you would see a devil looking for your head. We are not saying that you are not to be current.
There are some people whose job description demands that they be current with current affairs but if you want your Faith to be on fire, it’s not even every gossip you want to hear. You don’t need that.
You are polluting the fountain of your destiny. Proverbs 4:23. Don’t quench that heart with bitterness.
Don’t suffocate the same heart that is the fountain of your destiny with malice, bitterness, strife and all the things they will tell you to pollute the simplicity of your heart. After a while, you will become complex and a different person. You can’t smile for anybody anymore because everybody is a suspect until proven otherwise.
No, don’t let any man or devil denature you. If the devil wants you to fear anything, he will make you to start to hear the things and then the fear comes and as the fear comes, the Faith goes, avoid the company of negative talkers and negative people.
