THE QUALITY OF OUR LIVES IS A FUNCTION OF OUR FAITH. SO THE EARLIER WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO START HUNTING FOR REVELATION TO BUILD OUR FAITH, THE BETTER FOR US.
NO MATTER THE SITUATION OF LIFE, THERE IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION BY REVELATION.
REVELATION IS THE WAY OUT, THE WAY UP AND THE WAY FORWARD
- Pastor David Ndubueze at CHoP
Lift your voice with me and give glory to God. He deserves all of our praise, He deserves all our honour. Let’s magnify our King He is worthy of all the glory.
Father one more time, thank You for waking us, we slept and woke up because you sustained us, we pray that today by Your Word let Your name be glorified in Jesus precious name we pray.
We are continuing with the exhortation line captioned: EVERY ONE IS Absolutely RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOME OF HIS FAITH, every one of us is absolutely responsible for the outcome of his life. God’s servant began yesterday by letting us know that revelation is like opportunities knocking on our doors time and time again for our continuous change of level from glory to glory.
2 Corinthians 3:18
This opportunity keeps knocking continually but the choice is ours to embrace or ignore such opportunity. We saw in Revelations 3:20 that Jesus is saying behold I stand at the door and knock, IF anyone opens the door, I will come in and change his story, I will come in and dine with him. Church Gist. However we saw few people who maximized such opportunities and others who missed out of such opportunities. Most people miss out of the blessings of revelations because they know not.
Songs of Solomon 5:1
This bridegroom, Jesus came knocking just like in Revelation 3:20 but the bride missed the opportunity by delayed response. I want to think it began with poor understanding. Poor understanding that first this is an opportunity and second, any revelation missed is another loss recorded. And for lack of understanding, she was devasted.
-None of us shall be devasted.
John 2:5
Another opportunity came and the Mother said “Whatever he says you should do, do it”, they grabbed the opportunity by maximizing it and their stories were changed.
This morning we are going further to find out how to maximize personal responsibilities in maximizing revelation opportunities, seeing ourselves as been absolutely responsible for the outcome of our lives.
Luke 19:13-20
The same master, the same pound, the same preacher, the same word but different results in the lives of different servants. One – ten, another – five and another nothing and as a result his destiny suffered a great loss. That means that each of us are responsible for the outcome of our lives.
Hebrews 4:2-3
They heard the same preacher that we heard, they heard the same Word but it didn’t profit them because of their unbelief. Everybody received the opportunity but your believing and my believing is what guarantees the outcome of the revelation.
That believing is called faith, that means that all of us are called to build our faith as individuals not lost in the crowd or not to be wounded by the crowd. Believers note that somebody’s fear should not affect your faith. Church Gist. Somebody’s unbelief should not affect your faith, you are absolutely responsible. God’s servant our father would say that when it comes to faith, you and God are majority. It doesn’t matter who is doubting, it doesn’t matter who is afraid, it doesn’t matter who is mocking you must take personal responsibility for building your faith.
Jude 17-20
The Faith that is not built personally may never yield optimally, even if it works from the beginning, once it is challenged, it will cower. God’s servant, our father said “ten eyes that see does not make your blind eyes see”. It takes you seeing for yourself, that is why I like Blind Bartimaeus he said everybody that is mocking me is seeing, Oh Lord give me my own sight. Church Gist. By his personal responsibility not the mockery of others his own sight became restored and I believe his became clearer than others because whatever the Lord does is marvelous.
What is that showing you and I? It is possible to build your faith. Why build your faith? It is everyone according to his personal faith not general faith.
Mathew 9:28-30
Any faith that holds God absolutely responsible, our father says is an irresponsible faith. When it comes to faith, God is a constant, His word is a constant, you and I are absolutely responsible, not your friends, not your family, not even God. Church Gist. Archbishop Benson Idahosa said if your faith says YES even God cannot say NO”. As soon as they believed they got their sight, if the blind men did not attract pity why are you and I that are seeing looking for pity party. Why not take responsibility and sit down doing what you are asked to do to build our faith. The earlier we take responsibility, the better for us. The good news is that we can start from anywhere. Somebody say with me, “I am starting now”.
Faith has unlimited capacity for growth, it means it can grow from minus level to greatest level.
2 Thessalonians 1:3
This means that you and I can grow our faith from no faith, from weak faith to great faith. But we must start building it now and we must keep at it. Start and stop never wins the race, you must take responsibility to build our faith because there can be faith build up and there can be faith failure (Luke 22:32). Church Gist. You can build your body to take shape but when you stop exercising it goes flabby and you start looking worse than you were before you started building it. Many started very well but where is your first love? Where is your first faith? Before as it is declared, you believe it hook, line and sinker but now questions “will it really work?”. If you endure till the end, you shall return with the crown.
Without the foundation of the word of God, faith may not work and if it works, it may not last. Peter was rugged and stable in his faith because it is as a result of his personal revalation from the word of God.
Mathew 16:13-18, John 6:68
Many of us know what others are saying, it is good to hear what God’s servant says but it is better to sit down and hear God for yourself. There is no situation in life without a solution in revelation.
What do I do with my faith? Concerning that situation, concerning that adversity, settle down and build your faith through revelation, faith comes by revelation, no matter the situation of life there is always a way from God. Revelation is the way out, the way up and the way forward but many times it comes by opportunities we don’t know.
Note that one of the ways revelation comes knocking on your door is through your sent teacher. Watch out for the teachers, God has ordained for you, they are loaded with understanding for you.
Acts 8:28-30
The Ethiopian Eunuch was rigmaroling without result until Philip, his sent teacher showed up. God’s servant said last Sunday “anoint the pictures of your children, anoint your shop and homes” very simple like “carry the water to the governor” but many people are missing out. Revelation knocks on your door and my door through the people God has sent to us. Church Gist. Imagine in John 2:5 if they had not done as the mother of Jesus said they would have suffered shame continually.
The quality of my life and your life is a function of our faith. So the earlier we take responsibility to start building it from any level, the better for us.
Pray with me that the grace to take responsibility to hunt for revelation, the grace to diligently observe to do as told us by our teachers is multiplied. Lift up your voice
