January 2021 Blessing Sunday
Topic: Faith For the Adventure
Text: Mark 4:35-41
OBJECTIVES:
- To understand the necessity of faith
- To understand the process of faith
- The understand the outcome of faith
Life is:
- an adventure
- a trip
- a voyage
- a passage
We pass from second to second, from hour to hour, from day to day, from month to month and from time to eternity. It is important to note that faith is needed for the adventure, the trip, the voyage and the passage.
WHY IS FAITH NECESSARY FOR OUR ADVENTURE IN LIFE?
1) FAITH is Necessary to Tackle the Uncertainties and Unforseeables of Life.
2) FAITH is Necessary to Handle the Extreme Wickedness and godlessness of the World (1 John 5:19).
- Faith must be alive in order for a person not to end as casualty.
- We live in a world where a friend can betray his friend for money
- We live in a world where people can kill each other because of money.
- We live in a world of terrorism, ritual killings and so on and so forth.
- In order to handle the extreme wickedness of this world on our journey, we need FAITH.
3) WE Need Faith to Take Full Delivery of our God-ordained Inheritance and Possession.
- There are things that belong to us in our journeys of life, there are things that belong to us in this world.
Hebrews 11:8-9 It takes faith not to die empty-handed. - For everything that God has for you to enter your hands, everything that God has planned and apportioned for you in the land of the living, for them to enter your hands, your faith must be alive.
4) IT Takes Faith to Overcome Enemy Resistance and Sustain Progress in Life.
- Where faith is absent, stagnation may be inevitable.
- It is possible to be established in stagnation by the forces of the kingdom of darkness.
- Right here today, in the name that is above every name, I speak to someone by the prophetic mantle and mandate of God upon my life, everyone here and everyone around, no satanic confrontation shall take you by surprise this year! No satanic confrontation shall level your life this year!
- By the force with which I preach I today, you shall be equal to every urgency!
- I announce to you, you are not the victim of enemy wickedness!
- HUMAN SPARE PART DEALERS WILL NEVER LOCATE YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES
- Terrorists will never function where you are or around your loved ones!
- Wicked people will never succeed around your life in the name of Jesus!
- Everything that is yours in God this year, they shall enter your hands!
- Everyone whose life had been established in stagnation before now, hear this: before the month of January is over, you will see progress you have not seen in the last 12 years in the name of Jesus!
- I speak to someone, the last time the enemy defeated you and your loved ones shall be the last forever!
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF FAITH?
1) HEAR the Voice of the Lord.
- Receive the voice of direction, the voice of instruction. It is the food for faith.
Some of us did personal retreats and you heard some things, you were in the Crossover night, during this season, what is God’s voice to you in this season?
2) POSSESS the Backing of Scripture.
- Everything God speaks is always backed by scripture
- The witness of His voice plus the witness of the Word produces a force that no power can resist. Matthew 18:16
3) CHARGE Your Conviction with His Voice and Word to You.
- Upgrade your belief system by His voice and word to you. Hebrews 11:6
- IF WHAT YOU HEARD HAS NOT CHANGED YOUR BELIEF, YOU HAVE NOT HEARD WELL.
- The word of God is designed to upgrade conviction.
- What you receive always determines what you believe and what you believe defines what you become. John 1:12
4) IDENTIFY Responsibilities to Embrace with the Word
- After your belief system has changed, the next thing is to find out WHAT TO DO. Deuteronomy 28:1-2
- There is always something to do for God to do something
- For every possibility in God, there is a responsibility from man
*A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BUSY QUOTING PROMISES AND CLAIMING PROMISES WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THE PREMISES OF THOSE PROMISES
5) TAKE Practical Steps With the Word (1 Thessalonians 1:3)
- Faith always has work to do (2 Thessalonians 1:11)
That was why the woman of God (Gloria Copeland) said ‘there is no victory for the lazy’.
Are you trusting God for your healing? There is work to do; the work of eating the word and the work of speaking the word.
Are you trusting God for financial supplies? There is work to do; the work of faithfulness in serving God (Exodus 23:25) and the work of the practice of the covenant (Genesis 8:22).
Are you trusting God for marital harmony and dignity? There is wife to love and there is husband to submit to.
Whatever it is that you are trusting God for, there is work to do. That work will make you like a magician, people will just see things happening around you and wondering what kind of magic it is.
6) CELEBRATE Every Victory Along the Way (Gen 1:1 – end).
- Nothing is too little to celebrate.
WHAT IS THE OUTCOME OF FAITH?
1) Victory over the forces of darkness (1 John 5:4)
- The presence of faith is the guarantee of victory
2) Connection with the blessing of God (Galatians 3:9)
- Faith is your access to the blessing and your escape from the curses
- No man, woman, witch, wizard or lizard is permitted to place a curse on those who be of faith.
