YOUR FAITH DETERMINES YOUR LEVEL OF LIVING. WHAT YOUR PHYSICAL HEART IS TO YOUR BODY IS WHAT FAITH IS TO OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
FAITH FAILURE IS A KIND OF SPIRITUAL HEART FAILURE.
IF YOU BELONG TO THIS COMMISSION CALLED LIVING FAITH, FAITH IS A SUBJECT YOU MUST NOT FAIL.
ONE CAPITAL WAY TO BUILD YOUR FAITH IS BY PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST.
GREAT FAITH PRODUCES GREAT RESULTS, SUPERNATURAL FAITH PRODUCES SUPERNATURAL RESULTS.
-Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo on THE PRAYER OF FAITH IS THE PRAYER THAT WORKS PART 4 at the Covenant Hour of Prayer ||3rd November, 2022.
Father, we thank You for this bright and beautiful day. Thank You for the gift of life, thank You for the gift of answered prayers. Thank You for amazing testimonies, only You can make a man that has gone away, married to two other wives return again miraculously. Lord, accept our thanksgiving ! We decree that these testimonies shall be permanent!
Today again, speak to us by Your word, change our story again and let Your name be glorified, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed!
That Amen can be stronger… Please you may be seated and again put your hands together for the Lord.
Praise the Lord, I’m more than a conqueror, Congratulations!
All through this week in our Covenant Hour of Prayer, the subject we are dealing with is captioned, THE PRAYER OF FAITH IS THE PRAYER THAT WORKS.
-From this season forward, our prayer shall continue to work!
And it has been made abundantly clear to us since we began on Monday, that prayer indeed works but it’s not all prayer that works. Of course, very importantly, it has been made very clear to us by way of reminder that faith is required for receiving anything from God. Church Gist. What is required? Faith is required for receiving anything from God. How do you know whether actually your prayer is working or not? By result. When you keep getting results and answers in prayer, then you know that your prayer is working!
-From this season, none of us will engage in prayer that does not work any longer!
From this season, your prayers and my prayers shall begin to work more than ever before!
However, we must understand very clearly that faith is engaging God’s capacity for delivery. What is faith? Faith is engaging God’s capacity for delivery through the prayer altar. Church Gist. So everytime we get on the prayer altar, let’s always remember that what we are doing is engaging the capacity of God for delivery. Church Gist. We see a very practical example in Mark 10:46-52.
-Any area of life where any one of us might have lost our sight before, as we continue to engage much more than ever before the prayer of faith and our prayer altar, we all shall receive our desired miracles!
However, we must understand very clearly, that faith is in levels. Faith is in degrees. Faith is not just faith, faith is in degrees.
For instance, we have the degree of NO FAITH. That is what we find in Mark 4:40. That is a level.
Second, is LITTLE FAITH. Matthew 14:31. Remember the story of Peter walking on the water.
And the third degree is GREAT FAITH, we see this in Matthew 15:28.
And finally, of course, we have the SPIRIT OF FAITH or SUPERNATURAL FAITH. 2 Corinthians 4:13.
On the altar of prayer, if you engage NO FAITH, what kind of result would you get? No result.
If you engage LITTLE FAITH, what kind of result would you get? Little result.
If you engage GREAT FAITH, what kind of result would you get? Great result.
If you engage the SPIRIT OF FAITH or SUPERNATURAL FAITH, what kind of result would you get? Supernatural result.
The point is, no matter your level at this point, you and I are meant to grow on our faith.
-From this season, your faith will continue to grow!
So we must understand that faith is a growing force, it is not static. Church Gist. That means anything that can grow can also die. Isn’t that simple enough? Your faith and my faith is either growing or dying. So that you possess great faith at this moment does not mean you will always continue to possess great faith. It depends on whether you are growing your faith or not. And we must get to understand this very clearly as we look at this subject. Belonging to this family and this commission called LIVING FAITH, we must understand that the subject of faith is not optional. It is compulsory. It is a principal subject that none of us must fail.
The just shall live by faith! That means among other things, that your faith and my faith determines our level of living. What your physical heart is to our physical body is what faith is to our spiritual life. In other words, faith failure is a kind of spiritual heart failure.
Every heart failure, if it is not quickly and immediately arrested, will lead to death.
-None of us will suffer faith failure any longer!
Therefore we have a responsibility that cannot be transferred to anyone. Growing your faith and my faith is a personal responsibility. It is a non-transferable responsibility. No one can grow the faith of another person. You have to grow your faith, I have to grow my faith.
-The grace of God never to fail destiny in growing our faith, may God release it afresh to us again in Jesus name!
We must understand, therefore, if faith is a growing force, how do I grow my faith? We have examined a few ways of doing that since the week began but today we are looking at the fact that to grow our faith, to cultivate it, we can always engage the power of the Holy Ghost by praying in the spirit!
We can grow our faith by doing what, by praying in the spirit! Jude 1:20.
So one capital way we can build our faith and make it stronger is by praying in the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:26. What does it mean to pray in the Holy Ghost? 1 Corinthians 14:15. It simply means to pray in tongues. Many of us are baptized in the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues but we hardly engage the Holy Ghost in prayers. I therefore want to encourage each and every one of us, from today, make it a point duty, on a daily basis, on a regular basis, to pray in tongues! It may be 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there, 30 minutes here, 1 hour there, engage the Holy Ghost in prayer. As you do so, you will discover that your faith will continue to grow. Praise the Lord.
In case there’s anyone under the sound of my voice today who is not baptized in the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, I want to admonish you, don’t let this season pass you by. This is your hour of opportunity, engage the Holy Ghost by praying in tongues. As you do so, your faith will continue to grow. It is a point of duty on a regular basis, not to allow anyday pass by without praying in tongues, not just doing that publicly or corporately but doing it in personally on your own. As you do that, you will discover that your prayer life will begin to generate better results in Jesus name.
This is one of the things I see in the life of God’s servant, (Bishop David Oyedepo) several times in the office, at home, traveling, you will see him praying in tongues. As he does that what happens, building his faith. And what a joy, we all are witnesses, we can see the evidences of the products of GREAT FAITH all around us.
Look at the Faith Tabernacle for instance, the kind of faith that built Faith Tabernacle, is it little faith? Is it small faith? That is SUPERNATURAL FAITH.
-I see our own prayer life generating greater results from today in Jesus name!
Finally, God will only give us what we demand for in prayers. Church Gist. What we don’t demand for, we do not deserve. What are you demanding for in prayer today? Thank God this is our week of spiritual emphasis: take advantage, pray in tongues, morning time, afternoon time, before we come for service in the evening, a little here, a little there, you are building your faith, strengthening your faith and as you do so, better results!
So whether it has to do with any aspect of your life or your spiritual walk with God we shall begin to get better results in Jesus name!
Please rise up on your feet right now, lift up your voice to God and in one moment, pray in the Holy Ghost now. Pray in tongues now and let’s practice a little bit of what we have heard, our faith must continue to generate results.
Would you like to take your right hand, put it on your forehead and begin to pray in tongues right now?
