I MET KENNETH E. HAGIN THRICE ONLY WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO BOOK THAT HAGIN WROTE THAT I HAVE NOT READ.
EVEN AFTER HE WENT TO GLORY, HE WAS STILL TEACHING ME.
YOU HAVE BEEN MEETING ME EVERY DAY, YET NOTHING IS HAPPENING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS CHURCH WHO HAVE NEVER READ ONE BOOK OF THIS SHORT MAN, SENT BY GOD WITH THE MANDATE OF FAITH TO THIS GENERATION. THEY ONLY WANT ME TO PRAY FOR THEM.
WE CAN GIVE YOU THE BOOKS FOR FREE, BUT WE WON’T BECAUSE YOU WON’T READ IT.
BUY IT AND YOU’LL READ IT.

Now let’s go down to business and look at these few points this morning that will make you and turn you to a surprise this year.
WHAT TO DO TO REALIZE YOUR BIRTHRIGHT AS MORE THAN A CONQUEROR IN THE YEAR 2022 AND BEYOND?
- Be committed to building your faith as a lifestyle.
Faith is in degrees – Romans 1:17. If you like, call it, “the faithfulness of God is made manifest from one level of faith to another.” From faith to faith adventure, from faith to faith engagement in building your faith, is a fundamental requirement for manifesting as more than a conqueror.
Habakkuk 2:4
It is our faith that defines the worth of our life in the Kingdom – Hebrews 2:4
No matter the validity of the vision, the just can only take delivery by his faith.
“Write the vision”: You have written it.
“Make it plain”: then pursue after it with faith. Delivery is not guaranteed without faith.
Habakkuk 2:2-4
Luke 1:45
Faith is the live wire of our worth in the Kingdom. Church Gist. Faith is a principal guarantee of operating in the realm of more than conquerors. These men and women through faith, they subdued kingdoms – Hebrews 11:33-34
It is our level of faith that defines our level of more than a conqueror in the Kingdom. No one’s muscle will develop itself. You want developed muscles, go and develop it.
Don’t say because you have a big body, then you are a wrestler. Don’t try it. It is not your big body that you engage, but your developed muscles.
Let’s go develop our faith muscles by subscribing to what God says to be done, to build it.
Why? Little faith cannot cross the Red Sea. You know that. But through faith, they crossed the Red Sea – Hebrews 11:27-29
Little faith cannot conceive a child at 90. Through faith, Sarah also received strength – Hebrews11:11
It means strong faith because we are told that Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God, but was strong in faith – Romans 4:20. So it is strong faith that can conceive a child at the age of 90. Not weak faith. Not faith of assumption. Church Gist. Strong faith.
Genesis 21:6-7
To laugh the conqueror’s laughter requires strong faith. To have a conqueror’s laughter, like God Himself, “he that sitteth in heaven shall laugh” – Psalm 2:4
“Are you gathering against Me? You don’t know who you are gathering against. Through the breath of His nostrils, He will slay His enemies, you don’t know who you are talking about.
Psalm 2:1-2,4. The Lord will throw them into confusion, they will be smitten like mere dogs.
Not just faith, strong faith.
Little faith can’t calm the storm of life.
“Why are you so afraid? Why are you so fearful, o ye of little faith?” – Mark 4:40
It is not casual faith, it is strong faith that can calm the storms of life.
Little faith can’t stop the mouth of a lion. Daniel, a man of strong faith, “give us time and we will show you the secret.” We are not guessing – Daniel 2:16
It takes faith to have your prayers answered. Strong faith to deal with the impossible.
Nebuchadnezzar said, “because he believed in his God.” Strong faith.
Daniel 6:23
Little faith can’t quench the furnace of fire. They were delivered. They yielded their bodies, not to worship any other god – Daniel 3:28
That is their faith imparted on their bodies, fire could not consume them, because they trusted in their God – Daniel 3:28
It is not casual faith Sir, the faith that is not fidgety before a fiery furnace. That is not casual faith. That is the restful faith, the order of faith of Christ. Fast asleep on a pillow, in the midst of the storms.
The rest of a more than a conqueror’s faith. No fidgeting.
You mean they are going to cast you into the fiery furnace? You didn’t beg them!
“Do your worst.” Because they trusted in God – Daniel 3:17-18
What is fiery furnace? He is the consuming fire. When the consuming fire enters into the fiery furnace, it will turn it into a cold room. You know cold room, where they put fish? You will need winter dress. It takes strong faith.
Don’t assume strong faith, build it. I am still building my faith. It is from faith to faith, that will result into from glory to glory.
If you believe, you will see the glory of God and faith is from faith to faith; so from glory to glory requires from faith to faith. You will never come here one day without hearing something new that I just found. Church Gist. No lazy man or woman has a future in the Kingdom!!
We are not where we are because somebody prayed for us. We are where we are because we believe God and obeyed His instructions to realise what He has promised.
If God will look at those who are praying against me, we won’t be here. I don’t know the percentage but they may be more than those who are praying for me.
It won’t change it. You obey God, He sets you up. He sets you on high, He doesn’t wait for them.
“God enough. Don’t let them grow again”: You are wasting your mouth. If you keep doing what holds the Church, the Church will keep growing. No enemy can challenge the authority of your faith in God and that faith is proved by doing what He says.
Why call me Lord, Lord, without what I tell you to do? You are wasting your time – Luke 6:46
Get down and do what I asked you to do, then it will not just be a chorus, it will be a reality. That is why we must be committed to building our faith.
You are in a faith- based Church that is sent to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil. You can’t afford to be faithless. You can’t be struggling with little faith all your life. It takes strong faith.
When God fired up my faith, I didn’t have to go to the hospital, I sent the Word to read over the dying child and light broke out and life was restored.
Wake up and build your faith. I told you there is no book that Hagin wrote that I have not read, even after he went to glory, he was still teaching me. Church Gist. There are people in this Church who have never read one Book of this short man, sent by God with the mandate of faith to this generation. Never read one Sir.
“Papa, just pray for us!!”
After feet washing, somebody was standing there, I said, “okay, what do you want?” You want to eat me up?
Some are not hearing anything I am saying. They just wait, “Papa will pray for us.”
Jesus prayed for them, they were not healed because they need their faith, to connect with anything from Heaven. who prays for you is irrelevant, you need your faith to receive anything from God – James 1:7
It takes faith to receive anything from the Word and from anointed men of God. You don’t have faith, you don’t have it.
So Christianity is barren, paralyzed without faith.
My advice, we have these teachings on DVDs on faith, about a hundred messages, you better fire up your faith. When I knew last, it was 100, maybe they have done more now. Fire up your faith.
Consciously build it, don’t assume it. It takes strong faith. We can even stop here. If you do only this one, I think you are through. Strong faith!
Romans 4:20-21
-It is your year!!!
In case you are new in Church, we have basic books like the Law of Faith, I wrote that in 1985. That will tell you where we are coming from.
Exploits of Faith, Understanding the Unlimited Power of Faith, The Turnaround Power of Faith: Take them and eat them. Church Gist. We can give them to you for free, but we won’t because you won’t read it. Buy it and you’ll read it.
I bought every book of Hagin growing up. I bought every book of T.L Osborn growing up. I searched for one book of Oral Roberts, we couldn’t find it. We went down to Tulsa, to check, we still couldn’t find it. Over to you. This one-hour teaching or 40 minutes teaching every Sunday won’t build you (your faith), it will only show you how to build it.
You know I met Kenneth E. Hagin when he was alive 3 times alone. You have been meeting me now every day, every day, we meet and nothing is happening because you are not taking responsibility.
Okay, settle down and read the unlimited power of faith. Not read, study. Not only study, meditate and do what you find.
For beginners, read the Turnaround Power of Faith, read the Law of Faith: They will start you off, you will keep growing.
You know the people of strong faith: you are confidently restful.
What is it? Confidently restful. You have entered into Heavenly order of rest. Nothing shakes you and you keep it going from strength to strength; so the rest is becoming more glorious from phase to phase.
-You won’t miss it.
Anxieties, agitations: they are all evidences of weak faith.
“Hey Master, you care we perish” – Mark 4:38
The more ‘confidently in God’ restful you become. Not confidence in self.
Philippians 3:3
We are not talking about self-confidence, we are talking about God’s inbuilt confidence. God-inbuilt confidence. That the plane will break down and you are still taking snacks in the air, without shaking your head; before they say, “Sir, what is happening?”
“I won’t tell you.”
They too will be shaking their heads.
One engine failed, you don’t know what caused it, in case it goes to the other one.
I said, “Folks, will you all like to have some snacks?”
Confidently restful in the midst of the storm.
-That is where you are going.
That is the lifestyle of more than a conqueror. Stop waiting for it, start working at it!!
-It is a brand-new year for you.
You can be a Pastor and have no faith. You can be a Founder and have little faith. You can even have no faith; you are just in a career.
-That will not be anybody’s portion in the name of Jesus.
