APRIL 2023 BLESSING SUNDAY SERVICE – SUNDAY, 2ND APRIL 2023
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): GALATIANS 3:9
MESSAGE TOPIC: THE BLESSING OF FAITH (1&2)
By: Dr Paul Enenche
SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S):
1. Understanding the Blessing that faith brings
2. Understanding faith for the Blessing
The Bible makes it clear that faith is an asset for the Christian journey; no wonder, Christianity is referred to as the Faith (Acts 6:7; 13:8)
Christianity begins with faith, continues with faith and concludes with faith
THE PROFIT OF FAITH (WHERE THE BLESSING IS CONCERNED):
1. The way of Faith is the way of the Blessing (Gal. 3:9)
To possess faith is to possess the Blessing and escape the curse; faith people are blessed people
The absence of faith will be the attraction of curses
Throughout Scripture, anywhere you see faith people, they were also blessed people
If your faith is alive, your blessing can’t be dead; it is just a matter of time.
2. The way of Faith is the way into our inheritance (Heb. 6:12)
Inheritances are accessed by faith; the limit of your faith is the limit of your inheritance
God is not partial – what one can access through faith is accessible to another as long as the same principles are applied
The door into the world of your inheritance is openable by the key of faith
There are many things that are yours that you haven’t gotten yet because the faith to access them is not yet there
God works the most when men go to rest
3. The way of Faith is the way of rest (Heb. 4:3; Acts 12:6; Ps. 46:10)
To believe is to step into rest; the way of faith is the way of restfulness/tranquility, freedom from stress and crisis
It is not because of you that the devil was manufactured – REST!
There is a relationship between your rest and your result
i. Adam needed a wife; for God to give him a wife, he first had to rest.
ii. The 5,000 people needed to eat before Jesus could give them food, they had to sit.
iii. Peter needed to be freed from prison; it was when he went to sleep that God sent the angel
It is when you go to rest that God goes to work
4. The way of Faith is the way into the goodness of God (Ps. 27:13; Isa. 61:9)
Escaping the badness of life is a function of faith
To believe God is to see the goodness of God and escape the badness of the devil in the land of the living (Ps. 27:13)
5. The way of Faith is the way of rewards (Heb. 11:6; Exo. 23:25-26; Isa. 45:19; 1 Cor. 15:58; Ps. 89:15)
Faith is the connector between you and your due rewards
Fruitfulness and longevity are part of the rewards of service
There is peace and contentment in serving the Lord
Your faith will produce the rewards that the devil held back
6. The way of Faith is the way of wholeness (Matt. 9:22; Mark 5:34; 10:52)
Faith is the way of wholeness – everything together, nothing missing, broken or lacking
WHAT FAITH IS IT THAT GIVES ACCESS TO THE BLESSING?
1. Possessing the revelation of His promises gives you access to the Blessing of faith people (2 Pet. 1:3-4; Heb. 6:12; Rom. 10:17)
You must know the promises that will usher you into the blessing; it is what you know that you show
Your revelation places a limit on your possessions
2. Observing the examples of the blessed of God (Gal. 3:13-14; Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8)
This is the place of testimonies; they sharpen your faith
3. Possessing the conviction and mindset of the blessed (Gen. 47:10; 14:22-23; Luke 1:45)
Blessed people have a mindset and belief system
People who have the faith for the Blessing of God have a mindset that they carry (Gen. 47:10)
Blessed people understand that what they carry is superior to earthly possessions
You carry a mentality of authority – you are not a beggar or a pauper! You are not at the mercy of any power of the devil!
You carry a mentality of authority – AUTHORITATIVE COMPLEX!
4. Proceeding with the corresponding actions of the Blessed (Gen. 12:5; 14:18-20; 26:1-3; 12:2-3)
Blessed people are a blessing to people, a blessing to their generation
Giving is a major action of blessed (Gen. 8:22)
You don’t expect to continually receive until you give
Your action empowers your expectation; positive action empowers positive expectation
