THE LEVEL OF OUR FAITH DETERMINES THE FORCE AND THE FIELD WE OPERATE IN.

IF YOU DON’T GROOM YOUR FAITH, YOU WILL GROW IN FEAR.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE, ATTEND TO YOUR FAITH.

STUDYING THE WORD DAILY IS YOUR MAINTENANCE DOSE TO KEEP YOU IN THE VICTORY MODE.

LET YOUR FAITH BE FED SO THAT YOUR DOUBT CAN BE STARVED. DON’T LET PHYSICAL FOOD RUIN YOUR LIFE.

-Pastor Paul Enenche on ‘FAITH FOR PRESERVATION’
Preservation and Power Communion Service, Dunamis International Gospel Centre.

Thank You Master for this moment; I give You the praise and the honour because You are God. Adonia, Elyon, El-Shaddai, breathe upon Your Word today and let not one person leave here the same way they have come. Be glorified Lord, thank You Master, in Jesus precious name.

I welcome everyone here today to this Preservation Service for the month of April, you will never leave here the same way you came in Jesus precious name. I’ll like you to get yourself set because something very solid is about to step into your spirit.

Hebrews 11:32-34
The Lord bless His Word in Jesus precious name.
The subject is; FAITH FOR PRESERVATION.
Our objective is to understand the preservation power of faith. By way of introduction, I want to draw your attention to three things:
1). We live in an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable world. Church Gist. The Bible says as we approach the end of the world, the enemy will multiply his evil because he knows his time is short (Revelation 12:10-12).

2). We live in a world in which human wickedness seems to have escalated beyond measure. Someone told me a story yesterday, they were in a vehicle coming from somewhere and there were these three people inside that vehicle that were constantly telling the driver to stop and as the driver stopped, they will buy things, collect the things from the people and ask the driver to go without paying and they kept doing like that that the rest of the passengers of the vehicle were very angry at the action of these people; they were looking unusual, very rough until it was the whole vehicle that they now ordered to stop; “all of you, come down! Bring your bags and so on and so forth.” But this brother escaped with his bag.

We live in a world where human wickedness seems to have escalated beyond measure.

3). We live in a world where systems of safety and security seem to be failing woefully. Church Gist. We have security and safety problems around the world, some is worse than the other, like in Nigeria for example, it appears as if the whole security and architecture structure is almost zero.

So, we live in such a world where these things are clear; very dangerous, very unpredictable, human wickedness, worldly system of protection seem to be failing in many ways. We heard the testimony the other day where somebody had his escorts and everything and he was going and two of the policemen were killed, one ran into the bush. The man was kidnapped and captured. That is, he had full security, let’s say for himself and yet, that didn’t suffice.

So, in such a world, if there is any time to keep faith alive and to keep faith awake, it is now. If there is any time to make faith to work, to ensure that your faith is in place; it is now. Why? Because in the Bible, we saw that the saints of old through faith, they stopped the mouth of lions. The mouth of lion is stoppable by faith; that is, they destroyed death, demystified death, mesmerized death. Church Gist. Also, they said that through faith, they destroyed the violence of the fire. That is, they caused fire to lose its power to harm. There is power in faith!

• In the name of Jesus, the next time you come across any form of fire; spiritual or physical fire, that fire shall lose power!

Through faith, they escaped the edge of the sword. That is, destructive weapon couldn’t penetrate them. If this is how faith is, then it is not to be allowed to be made the doctrine of a particular church or denomination or sect. If this is how faith is, then survival these days requires faith.

So, permit me to say that faith is an asset of irreplaceable value in a dangerous, deadly world, full of deadly people. Someone was telling me a story today of how somebody asked him to take him to somewhere and when he came into the place, maybe it was a ritualistic thing, someone just approached him and just plucked his hair on the spot in the place where he went. Church Gist. He took God, he said he felt something in his body on the spot. Now, not that you are accompanying a stranger somewhere, you are accompanying somebody you know somewhere and he’s taking you to destruction.

• You will not die like chicken!

How is preservation achieved by faith? I’m going to look at seven things very quickly;
1). Faith increases spiritual power and force field in and around the life of a child of God (Acts 6:8). Anywhere you see faith you see power and you see force (2 Thessalonians 1:11, 1 Peter 1:5). What is the meaning of all these things to you?

a). Faith brings power and power causes us to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy without consequence (Luke 10:19). When you are faith-filled, you are powerful. Do you remember our translation of Luke 10:19? “Go after the devil, break his head, destroy his works and proceed without consequence.” Church Gist Move as if nothing happen. You cannot be a man of faith and be a spiritual weakling. You can’t be faith-filled and be powerless; it is not possible. To be full of faith is to be full of power. If you are lacking power, upgrade your faith.

b). Faith increases your spiritual force field, making your life unapproachable by the enemy. There is something about you, there is something around you; if there’s a way to measure spiritual force like we measure in the physics laboratory; when you put a man of faith here and another man here that has zero faith, if there is a faithometer, a measuring device that measures faith and faith force, by the time you come across this man, there is something about him and a force around him that makes it impossible for local demons to play around.

Faith is a spiritual force that taps into the Omnipotence of God, the agidigbaciousness of God, the almightiness of God; it is drawing into the almightiness of God. So, when you come around that person, there is something about him that is mighty. I’ll give you an example; there are some wires you can touch and it may shake you a little. There are some high-tension wires like the airport grid that if you touch, is not shake ooo. Nobody will ask how is it, except divine intervention. Church Gist. There is another one at Kainji Dam area where they generate hydroelectric power that is standing on the ground. When you are passing, it is sounding. They placed barbed wire very far; mad man is not mad enough to go near it. In his insanity, he’s aware that this is death that is vibrating. There’s an extent you can go and by the time the thing is through with you, they may not recognize the colour of the man’s skin. Those are different levels of forces and force fields. That is how men and women of faith are; the level of our faith determines the force and the field we operate in.

We have once been in a hold-up somewhere in Africa and some hoodlums with guns arrived at our car. We never knew they had been following us from the airport; when we arrived the country, people came with flowers, bouquet; all manner of people, white people, black people. So, some demons may have thought; “oh, this is a very big influential person.” For almost thirty minutes’ drive and then in the hold-up, they came. The door where I was sitting was the first place they approached, to open the door, the man staggered back; only in eternity will he reveal what he felt. Church Gist. The driver drove, they came through the other side again with pointed gun; attempting, for where? He also staggered back. One fell down physically; we don’t know whether other vehicles match on him. The driver moved the other way and supernaturally how the vehicle went over the kerb, passing through the midst of them; we went our way. They went straight to a police station to report the case and the police people said, oh it has been happening in the last three weeks, that they followed one person and went and killed him, right in the hotel where he lodged. Another week, they followed another person to the airport, killed him, the police were the one telling us.

• I prophesy today, the next time they send a witch to look for you; he will not return back to tell them a story, he will report straight in hell!

2). Faith multiplies spiritual strength for the defeat of adversaries and adversities. What is the difference between spiritual power and strength? Spiritual power is like when you are given AK-47, spiritual strength is like when your muscle bulk has increased to a point where you can lift 200KG instead of 50. Power is more like equipment and strength is an endowment (Romans 4:20, Hebrews 11:11). Church Gist. Faith men are strong men, no wonder John G. Lake said, he’s preaching the strong man’s gospel; the Gospel that makes men strong, you are not a weakling and if you are not weak, you cannot lose the battle (Proverbs 24:10).

• I prophesy to someone here today, through the faith that will be communicated to you this month, your strength is amplifying!

This is the meaning of strength; the last time you saw yourself dreaming, you saw that the devil was pursuing and you were running, then you built up strength. Then the next time they saw you, they tried to pursue you but they are not sure because your size has increased in the realm of the spirit. So, they are just looking at you; you are looking at them but you don’t have the audacity yet because you are not even sure of yourself, then you kept on building your strength, then the next time they saw you; you open your eyes, then they turned and then you began to pursue.

• I see somebody shifting in your level of strength until the devil will be on the run and you will be in the pursuit!
• They can’t fall you down anymore!

The devil is the same devil; Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. The devil is also the same, there is no new devil and the devil has no means of increasing his strength; you can increase your strength and face the same devil that has been harassing you all your life.

• I announce to you, after tonight, that devil that has been harassing you all your life; after tonight, you are shifting in a dimension and you will beat that devil hands down!

There is no witch that’s more powerful than satan and you have the capacity to be more powerful than satan (Luke 10:19). To the most powerful native doctor in your village, is not a threat; just build power, increase spiritual muscle and look for them again. The last time Moses encountered Pharaoh, he was on the run, then he returned back, the power of Pharaoh hasn’t changed but something changed in Moses. He began to look for who was looking for him; where is the Pharaoh?
Response: Yes, who’s looking for me? Who is that bastard there, bring him.
When he came, he cleaned his eyes; “is this not Moses, the one that we are looking for to kill?”
Moses said, my container may be the same but content has changed.

• Somebody’s power content is changing tonight!
• You are about to take witches and wizards, occults, native doctors, ancestral altars by surprise!

3). Faith gives zero allowance to fear which is the magnet of disaster and you know of course, fear is the magnet of bad news. Faith is the neutralizer of fear which is the magnet of calamity. Most people are more a victim of their fears than a victim of the devil itself (Hebrews 2:14-15, Job 3:24-26). Church Gist. There are those who are permanently imagining their funeral, there are those who are permanently thinking of evil, that is negative thing, looking for symptoms in their body that did not exist. But faith is the antidote, the neutralizer for fear (Luke 8:23-25).

Fear and Faith are mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed. We live in a world where the things that will make you fear are plenty. All you need to do is to turn on the News, listen to the radio, listen to people talk, watch the network news, just watch them; everything is wired to make you afraid and you must make up your mind that the fear of this world cannot enter my heart; “I refuse the fears of this world and you charge up your faith and you move as if the devil does not exist.” Here this; before the devil works in your life, he requires the permission of your fear. One man talked about how his friend died rapidly of prostate cancer, he testified on this altar and he went for the funeral and on his way back, the symptoms came on him on the spot and before you could say what’s happening, laboratory confirmed that he had prostate cancer, except that it was destroyed by the power of God.

People, if you don’t groom your faith, you will grow in fear; if you don’t grow your faith, you are grooming your fear.

4). Faith triggers the release of joy and joy releases strength (Romans 4:20, 1 Peter 1:8, Nehemiah 8:10). When you believe you rejoice, when you rejoice you are strong and when you are strong you beat the devil hands down. When you doubt you are depressed; when you are depressed, you are oppressed and when you are oppressed, the devil beats you hands down. So, if you want, be playing with depression, be joking with sadness; it is weakness you are inviting. That’s why some of us carry electricity everywhere, just bubbling; if you try me now, I’ll start dancing. Church Gist. Does it mean you never hear bad news? Let me give you my phone for 30 minutes so you can listen to the messages of all the tormented, afflicted, disastrous calamity; all manner of terrible news per second. I can have up to 2,000 text messages per time that I may not have read. But now, I should carry those satanic activities he’s doing in the lives of people and use it to depress myself; that devil is a bastard, they have not born that devil yet. I should handover my joy to the devil, so that he’ll determine my excitement?

5). Faith attracts the manifestation of Jehovah; it attracts the manifestation of the Almighty. God shows up when He sights faith without invitation to deliver on the object of that faith. That is, whenever God sees faith, He arrives to deliver to you whatever you are believing Him for with that faith. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego according to Archbishop Idahosa (Daniel 3:16-18), God heard it, God saw faith. God said, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, I saw your faith. I’m not sending an angel; I’m coming in person. Nebuchadnezzar cleaned his eyes; “Did we not cast three men into the fire but I see four men and the fourth one is not a normal man; He’s like the Son of God (Daniel 3:25)?”

After Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego manifested their faith and they said, “our God whom we serve will deliver us,” can somebody tell me the prayer of preservation that they prayed after they acted faith? There is an automaticity of the activity of divinity everywhere He recognizes the audacity of faith. You don’t need to beg Him, you don’t need to pray an extra prayer. Your faith said to you, the man that can take my own life and will still have his own life, is not born. No woman has born such a man that say, “I cut off your breath” and then you continue to live; impossible! (John 10:17-18). Church Gist. Jesus said, I am the Author and Finisher of your faith. You know how to behave if you see how I behave; no man, terrorist, kidnapper, ritual killer, disease, affliction taketh my life and God sees that faith in your heart and sees it in your mouth, then suddenly you are found in a scenario where it appears like if that faith is about to be confronted, you don’t need to beg Him afresh; He just arrives. Terrorists are sleeping, they are all dead in the night. You know the way some of you encounter us in the spirit, many of them encounter us in the spirit; many of them have been laid to rest and more will be laid to rest.

Mark 2:1-5.
Anywhere the ground is congested, the top is empty. There are times you want to fly and they say there is no more seat in the economy class, they will be no challenge in the first class, most times for all airlines. If somebody says I don’t have house, is not that there are no houses; any house you want in Maitama is available for sale. Church Gist. Faith can be seen; it can be sighted. God is waiting to see your faith. Faith is the summary of most prayer points. I’m not saying you should not pray. Anything you believe God for; God will show up to deliver it to you.

On Sunday I announced we are waiting for approval for our construction of the pedestrian bridge, 48 hours later, the approval came into our hands. When my wife saw it, “she said excuse me Sir, just be talking because the things you say come to pass, so be talking.” Your faith brings God into the scene of action without extra invitation. That is “I can’t die before my time, I must fulfill my days, it doesn’t matter how desperate the devil is, I must fulfill my days” and God hears that and God sees that and God says, you have over fulfilled your days.

6). Faith is a life fountain that drowns the forces of death and destruction. When you operate in faith, you turn the tap of life on; faith turns on the tap of life (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38). Life is released by the operation of faith and the way light handles the night, that is how life handles the death: you are so saturated with life that destruction and death is looking for space, it can’t find and even as you are hearing me tonight, life is saturating your life, system and every power of premature death around you is broken right now!

John 11:40
If you didn’t hear anything and you only took point number six, that every time I operate in faith, I am operating in life, in the zone of life. If you want me to use the medical word, I’ll call it Zona lifosa – the zone of life where the enemy is trying to access and he can’t find and if it is life zone, it’s also disease-free zone because as John G. Lake said, disease is actually death in process.

• Today, every death in process and every death itself in form of a virus, bacteria or disease in your body; today they are destroyed to their root!

Death is destroyable by faith. So, build your faith.

7). Faith is a weapon of defense against the arrows of destruction (Ephesians 6:16). Faith is a takeable shield. You just finished eating the scripture (He suffer no man to do them wrong, he rebuked kings for their sake; touch not my anointed and do my prophet harm) – Psalm 105:15. Church Gist. Faith is both a thought pattern, a mindset, a speech, content and a lifestyle – you think it, speak it, act it and celebrate it! When you are a man of word and of faith you don’t move about with an unprotected chest. The number of those who died because they wanted to kill you, when you go to heaven, you will find out.

This is your action;
1). Do you love your life? Then build your faith because it has been made clear that your life is at the mercy of your faith. There is something more important to your life than the dress you are wearing, than your look and hairstyle because many times, we waste our time on the things that don’t sustain our lives; endless movies, aimless chatting – there is something more important to your survival, your existence on earth. I can tell you, it’s far more important than your food because no food has ever stopped a person from being attacked by witches. Church Gist. No dress has ever protected you from occultic attack; that you are so handsome, they left you alone; you are so beautiful, they celebrated you (I’m not saying you should dress shabbily because I don’t dress shabbily. I’m not saying you should not eat food because that will be disastrous. I’m saying in all that you do, set your priority right).

2). Determine to embark upon the daily intake of the Word of God because the Word is the food of faith (Romans 10:17, Romans 10:8). Study the Bible, listen to the Bible, listen to a message. If you can’t finish the whole hour message, break it into two. Listen to the first thirty minutes of it and think about it throughout the day; listen to the balance in the night. Church Gist. The chapter of a book, a spiritual book maybe on faith building, just keep your spirit man alive, awake, strong daily, except you don’t remember to eat (Job 23:12). It is only when you did not remember to eat, that you are permitted to forget to study the Word.

I structured my life such that, it’s as if I’m committing sin by eating without taking the Word first; anything I do with my life, God must be first. Before I can eat food, let me eat Word. Before I can spend money on myself, let me spend it on God. It is called tithe and giving. This church pays tithe. The other day, some people had some welfare situations that were urgent and then, we had decided on how to assist them and the account came with me to sign the requisition to meet the needs of one or two people that had issues based on how we’ve seen it and I said, have we signed the tithe cheque for this month, that is the church’s own tithe?
Response: we haven’t signed it.
We can’t sign any other thing until the tithe cheque is signed because God must be given first, even though this is a giving; let it be God first. Church Gist. If the Word you are reading, you don’t seem to be getting light from it, pick a tape, a CD, a message in an area where you need help and then, the insight will be brightened for you, in the light of the teacher, you see more light. Pick a book, a chapter, a 30 reading segment; let your spirit be fed and let your fears be starved. Let your faith be fed so that your doubt can be starved (Matthew 4:4). Don’t let food ruin your life.

3). Take up the shield of faith in times of challenge; know how to take up the shield of faith in times of challenge (Ephesians 6:16). That is, embark on faith focused study in your area of challenge per time. That is, you are eating the Word daily, but suddenly you saw repeated revelation that the devil is looking for your life and someone is saying is saying they are claiming they are seeing somethings and that somebody sent you message from the village that some people say this and that, then you now take up the shield of faith; you look for messages in that line; fulfilling your days, they are dead. No weapon formed against you shall prosper! You look for such acidic messages and charge up your faith in that area and then, you come out with red eyes and you begin to look for the devil.

One day, I dreamt a dream and when I woke up from that dream, I said, “devil, I am sleeping back now. If you are devil enough, return back.” Of course, he couldn’t return. When somebody comes in with a very high blood pressure, maybe like 200/160, there is a dose of medication that he’s given that is different from the dose he’s given to maintain the blood pressure. Church Gist. That first dose that is to bring it down is called a ‘start dose’ and then, that brings it down and keeps coming down gradually to maybe 140-80 and then, they now have the next dose called ‘the maintenance dose.’ That one is not too high, just to keep it where it is. Studying the Word daily is your maintenance dose to keep you in the victory mode; embarking on high level Word study is your start dose when a challenge just appears. You don’t sit down and do normal things; you increase your fire.

If you want your faith to be alive learn to have a maintenance dose and a start dose in times of confrontation and very soon, you will be looking for the devil and the devil will say, “I am not available for you to fight.”

• The devils of your father’s house will give up this month!
• All the forces of hell that will not let you rest, this month they shall be laid to rest!

If you love your life, attend to your faith. All the things that make you too busy for the Word and for God will continue if you are not on the earth. All the friends you are chatting with will start chatting with other people if you are no more alive. Businesses will continue, everything will go on. It will even appear as if you never existed; I’ve seen situation where they started sharing the clothes of the person who died before the person was buried. Church Gist. That is why you must pay attention to your life. Don’t let anything be too urgent for you to take time with God and to take time with the Word. If light is not coming to you from the Word, pick up a message or CD like the one you are hearing now. You can hear it for the next 3-4 days, twenty minutes segment per day. Charge up yourself; you can even take each of the point per day until you come to the point where your spirit is aflame and what you eat eats you up.

Your future is decided by your feeding; your nutrition affects your destination. I told my wife a funny story tonight before we came for the service; when I was a very small child, going to school we have to cross the highway to the other side and there’s normally a woman who sells food in front there and any time we reach there, I’ll insist on eating the food first in the morning before going to the school. One day after we did that for a while, me and my brother, my father said, “These children are too young, don’t let them be going to school. Any time they see this food, they’ll say they must stop and eat first” and it was a particular food I was always requesting to eat and that particular food, my wife’s people like to eat it a lot especially the people in our own town. My mother said, “this kind of food, you like eating all the time, you will marry from that side ooo.” Tonight I told my wife and said, and you have not cooked for me that food once in twenty-eight years, I don’t even like it now. She was talking just normally and it became prophetic. Beware your actions of today; they affect your destination tomorrow consciously or unconsciously. What you eat eats you up; it affects your future.

Tonight, don’t sleep until you have taken at least 30 minutes with the Word, with raw scripture, CD, powerful book; just take it and let it become your pattern and it’s a new day!

Father, we give You the praise, honour and adoration. Blessed be Your name, honour to Your name in Jesus precious name.

Father, tonight I have come before You, I receive the grace to pay attention to my faith. I receive the discipline to maintain a steady diet of the Word of God on a daily basis in the name of Jesus. Father, I receive the grace to take the shield of faith when necessary, I receive that grace.
