MESSAGE TOPIC: THE PROFIT OF FAITH (1&2)
By: Dr Paul Enenche
SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S):
1. Understanding the profit of living and walking by faith
2. Understanding the relationship between praise and faith
THINGS TO NOTE:
1. Faith is not just a Church doctrine
2. Faith is not just meant for claiming things from God
WHAT IS THE PROFITABILITY OF FAITH?
1. Victory in life’s battles (1 John 5:4; Eph. 6:12)
Through faith you end as a victor not a victim in life’s battles
2. Victory over fear and uncertainty (Job 3:25; Mark 4:39-40)
Fear is full where FAITH is flat and fear is flat where FAITH is full
You can suffocate your fear when your faith is present
3. Victory over enemy arrows (Eph. 6:16)
The world is full of flaming fiery arrows
4. Access to joy and fulfilment (1 Pet. 1:8; Job 14:14)
Faith can be a weapon against depression, discouragement and despair
5. Access to our inheritance (Heb. 6:12; Jer. 29:11; Luke 15:11-32)
Faith without character is disaster; Character without faith is scarcity
Faith without character; Character without faith; none is good. Have the kingdom service mentality and faith
6. Access to the Blessing (Gal. 3:9; Matt. 6:33)
To be in faith is to be blessed and to be without faith is to be cursed
7. Access to Power (Acts 6:8; 1 Pet. 1:5)
People of faith are people of Power
Faithlessness equals Powerlessness
The Bible empowered us with the Shield of Faith, Sword of the Spirit, Helmet of Salvation and the footwear of Peace; the only place not covered is the back because you cannot run away from the devil, you shall face the devil and destroy him and his works (Eph. 6:15-17)
8. Access to Grace (Rom. 5:2)
GRACE is the grease for EASE
The work of the Prophetic Mantle is, DECLARE it and CLEAR it!
9. Victory over the enemy (1 John 5:4; 4:4; Luke 10:19)
Victory over the devil and his human agents requires faith
10. Victory over worry and anxiety (Rom. 5:1)
The capacity to be unruffled and unshaken in the midst of storms requires faith
When you are in faith, even if the devil shakes the ground, he is unable to shake your spirit.
11. Victory over premature death (Hab. 2:4; Heb. 2:14-15)
Fear attracts the death you fear but Faith repels the death you refuse to fear
The devil tries to use your ignorance to play on your intelligence
You can’t think life and be killed before your time!
There is nothing you’re passing through that another person did not pass through and come out of! Death is not an option!
12. Access to rest and stability (Heb. 4:3)
Rest, calmness, tranquillity, serenity
13. Access to the world of exploits (Heb. 11:32-34)
When you walk in the realm of faith, you walk in exploits, you are not exploited.
14. Access to the goodness of God (Ps. 27:13)
When you believe God, you see His goodness.
The wickedness of the devil is not permitted to be expressed in your life, around your life and family; you are in faith and the goodness of God must be expressed in your life!
15. Access to Divine possibilities (Mark 9:23)
For men and women of faith, everything is possible
Faith steps you into the realm of all possibilities
16. Access to desired mantle(s) (2 Kings 2:9-10)
Faith makes your eyes to see what physical eyes can’t see; you are able to see results that are not yet there.
When your faith is intact, even the carrier of the unction has no option but to release it because they don’t own it; they are only custodians/caretakers of it.
What you are looking for is not with a man it is with God!
Look for God; pursue Him and He will link you with anyone and anything.
THE IMPACT OF PRAISE ON FAITH:
1. Praise attracts the Presence of God into our lives and situations (Ps. 22:3; 89:15)
When you worship God you bring God into your situation, and God cannot enter into a situation and it remains the same.
2. Praise confirms your belief or faith in God and where God sees faith He moves into action (Ps. 106:12; Heb. 11:6; Acts 16:26)
Those who believe God sings praises unto Him
3. Praise with thanksgiving for what God has done or is doing moves Him to do more (Ps. 50:23; 29:2)
Praise is also a spiritual warfare tool (2 Chron. 20:20-23)
NOTE: The release of the right Hand of the Lord will cause a breakout of joy in this Nation, Nigeria.
