Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen.
REALITIES OF THE FAITH LIFE
Romans 12:3
Colossians 1:12
Ephesians 1:3
1 Peter 1:3
The faith we have receive is supernatural. God qualified you to receive this faith. You are only able to believe
in the divinity of Jesus because a certain kind of Faith was furnished upon your heart.
its supernatural, it is out of this world. Ye are not of this world. Ye are in the world not of this world.
You have something unique, something supernatural that came out of this world.
And it pleased God to qualify you to receive from him. the greatest blessing of God is not realised when God does something
for you.
It actually when God brings you to his level of thinking and achieve through you when he wants to get to you.
So then Paul says, it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Paul says, we are co-labourer with God, the same Paul says, God is able to do exceeding abundant above all we can think or
imagine
- 1st Reality of your faith –
INHERITANCE/ INHERITED in Christ , Jude 1:3 contend for the faith
It was deposited to you at the point of salvation as an inheritance. You don’t do anything to
receive an inheritance. 1 Peter 1:3, Colossians 1:12
ii. INCORRUPTIBLE – the seed of God which is the word of God carries with it, the faith of God. 1 Peter 1:23
That seed abides in your heart forever. its a supernatural gift of God and from God
it is like an ernery. we understand that one of the characteristics of energy is that it can not be destroyed but can be
moved from one origin to the other. the law of conservation of energy.
the word incorruptible MEANS not liable to corruption, imperishable or decay.
iii. UNDEFILED – Its pure. You received it in its purity, unsoiled. The bible says every Good and perfect Gift come from
above from the father of light in whom there’s not variableness. James 1:7
iv. FADES NOT – not fading away (unlike the glory in the face of moses was fading away, your faith at any point
takes the shape of either of the follwoing Dimension (will talk about that later)
but its always in a perpetual state. Do not let the devil tell you, you don’t have faith.
The faith you require for everything in Gid was deposited to you at salvation.
but it must grow and nutured through the word – 2Thessalonians 1:3 Faith that grows exceedingly
V. DIVINE SOURCE – ORIGINATES FROM HEAVEN – . It was furnished upon our heart by the holy Ghost.
Salvation was possible for you because grace was furnish upon your heart – Ephesians 2:8
Because it orginate from heaven, it will also require that which is of heaven to sustain it and that’s why God gave us
his word. The source of the word and it origin is above, heaven
Your faith can not be destroyed because of ot source. It emanated from heaven – 1 Peter 1:4
Dimension of faith – GOD WORD IS LIGHT. LIGHT IS THAT WHICH MAKES MANIFEST
i. SMALL FAITH – Little faith, evidence in fear. Matthew 8:26 when ever there is fear, it an evidence that faith is small
Proverbs 24:10, if you faint in the day of Adversity, thys strenght is small. That strenght is faith. in the realsm of the
spirit, faith equal Strenght.
ii. GREAT FAITH – Mathew 8:10, Luke 7:9 Centurion – Evudence of firm believe on the word
iii. WEAK FAITH – Romans 4:19- 25 – Considers the Circumstance around ( Consider – means to observe, consider attentively, fix ones
mind or eyes upon. just like when the disciples began to observe the Wind, they began to sink. Evidence in stagering
at what God has said.
iv. STRONG FAITH – Fully persuaded, gives Glory to God despite.
I pray that as you go forth into 2022, you’ll demonstrate great faith,
What ever has been designed against your faith will not succeed. No weapon formed again you will not prosper
Your faith will increase and triumph over every adversity and challenge you face in Jesus Name.
