YOU DON’T SAY WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH, SAY WHAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE.
THOSE WHO SAY IF I PERISH, I PERISH, THEY DON’T PERISH
GOD SPOKE EVERYTHING AND THE WORDS CREATED THE WORLD, IF YOU WANT TO CREATE YOUR OWN WORLD, YOU HAVE TO SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD TO CREATE YOUR WORLD.
THERE IS NO HIGHER REDEMPTION, THE REDEMPTION IS THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY, NOBODY WAS BOUGHT WITH A BIGGER PRICE, THE SAME BLOOD OF JESUS BOUGHT ALL OF US EQUALLY.
A BROTHER WITH FAITH WILL GET MORE RESULT THAN AN APOSTLE WITHOUT FAITH, IT’S NOT IN OFFICE IT IS IN FAITH.
JESUS DID NOT TRIUMPH OVER SATAN AND HIS AGENTS FOR HIMSELF, NO! HE DID IT FOR YOU AND I.
NEGATIVE UNSPOKEN THOUGHT ARE DANGEROUS
EVERYTIME YOU MAGNIFY SATAN, YOUR DECLARATION WILL BE INEFFECTIVE
PAIN CONFESSED IS PAIN POSSESSED, FEAR CONFESSED IS FEAR POSSESSED, POVERTY CONFESSED IS POVERTY POSSESSED
CARRYING GUN IN THE NIGER DELTA IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF STUPIDITY

THEME: FAITH FOR ALL ROUND POSSIBILITIES
TOPIC: OPERATING THE GOD KIND OF FAITH
Genesis 1:1-3. He created the Heavens and the Earth with his words. Everything was created with Words. All through that chapter from verse 1 -30, it was all about God speaking and in verse 31, God saw. You will see whatever you declare from today. God had faith in His Words, he never doubted what He said and you and I are created in the image of God, if we are created in the image of God, then it means that we have what it takes to be like God. Ephesians 5:1. If God said and he saw what he said, if I imitate God I will also see, because if God said let there be light and there was light, if I say something I will also get what I say. ChurchGist. Listen, how did God create, he created with words. Hebrews 11:3. God is saying everything you are seeing on earth physically was created by the word God spoke, he spoke everything and the Word created the world, if you want to create your own world, you have to speak the Word of God to create your world.
Jesus also had faith in his own words. The Father had faith in his Words, Jesus had faith in his Words. Mark 11: 12- 14,20-22. He Spoke, he declared the Word. When Jesus said have faith in God it means have the faith of God, have faith, the faith of God is the faith that speaks and believes that it must be done. ChurchGist. Jesus said to the Disciples: have God kind of faith, the God kind of faith is the speaking faith that doesn’t doubt what he says.
God said let there be light, Jesus said fig tree dry up, you too say that it will be so and from today whatever you and I say it will be so in the name of Jesus. This is the faith that speaks and does not doubt. Mark 11:23. Jesus operated in the God kind of faith and he told his disciples to operate that kind of faith. ChurchGist. God had faith in his words, Jesus also had faith in his words. So, when you speak the word, have faith that it will produce. Say with me: From today, I will not doubt when I declare God’s Word. Many don’t have confidence in the words they speak, they feel they are not qualified to declare God’s Word, it’s a faulty mindset.
Every child of God has the same access to God, same redemption for all. There is no higher redemption, the redemption is the same for everybody, nobody was bought with a bigger price, the same blood of Jesus bought all of us equally. Yes, somebody may have more light of God’s Word does not mean that his redemption is superior to your own. That is why Jesus said have the God kind of faith, I have it and you also have it. Say with me: Satan can’t stop me. ChurchGist. When you tell people to go and do it, they will reply to you to go and do it, that they believe in you more. No, the person might have more light by revelation that does not mean that his salvation is superior to your own. The same salvation, the same Blood of Jesus. So, when you speak, don’t doubt what you say.
Colossians 1:13-14. Let me say this to you with authority: satan has no right to rule over you with sin, sicknesses and the likes, you know why? Everytime you want to say something the devil will bring you many words: like you’re not qualified to say it, do you even have the power to say it? Are you anointed to say it? Do you have the anointing of the men of God? He will speak many languages to you, he didn’t say if thou shall say to this mountain if you’re anointed. Say with me: Faith! Faith!!
A brother with faith will get more result than an Apostle without faith, it’s not in office it is in faith. Colossians 2:15. Underline the word THEM, Jesus made an open show of principalities and powers, Jesus did not triumph over satan and his agents for himself, No! he did it for you and I. Jesus did not defeat the devil for himself he defeated the devil for you and I. ChurchGist. He triumph over them means satan and his cohorts, all principalities and power including the demons in your village, he triumph over them. 1st John 4:4. You know this scripture, you quote it very well, but I’m going to link it with the first scripture (Colossians 2:15) Say with me: I am of God. Jesus is saying that he has overcome Satan and his cohorts on your behalf, who is them Satan and his cohorts. I have overcome them; I have dealt with them for your sake.
Listen, he didn’t defeat the devil for himself, he defeated the devil for us. He who knew no sin become sin for us, whom did he became sin for? I come again because it is what you hear that you believe, who did Jesus become sin for? For himself, for you. ChurchGist. Whom did he defeat Satan for? Then why do you take that area of sin that you’re now righteous but you don’t take the area of defeat because you keep hearing about sins, Lord forgive me because he died for my sins. Lord, I have triumphed over Satan. You believe that you’re forgiven of your sins because that is what you keep hearing as preaching, Jesus died for your sins, Jesus also triumph over Satan for your sake. So, Satan is already a defeated fool for your sake. Who did it? Mine is to accept it. Did you accept Salvation? Now accept triumph.
Jesus did not say we are going to overcome them, he said we have overcome them. We are not going to overcome, we have overcome. Say with me: I am an overcomer, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world, what Christ did was marked for our credit. Say with me: Jesus did it for me, he became my substitute. If you argue it then you’re saying the scripture is a lie and God cannot lie, God’s Word can’t lie, it’s impossible. ChurchGist. Everybody knows that he died for our sins but you should know that he triumphs for your sake. He bruised the devil and put him under your feet. Because he does not need it, he did it for you.
This is what Jesus did, have a mental picture: in the wrestling competition, if they place down, a big belt and they say whoever wins will take the belt and a huge man comes to the ring, harassing everyone like Goliath, nobody could challenge him, the belt was there. Whoever wins me takes the belt and nobody could challenge him, nobody was qualified to challenge him, everyone was afraid of him, he was so huge and hefty, just have a mental picture. ChurchGist. Then somebody walked into the ring, everybody was standing and watching out for who will challenge this man and somebody walked to the ring and brought him down and put his legs on his head and he said you come and take the belt. I have won him and he took the belt and handed it over to you, who is the champion? You, that is exactly what Jesus did, he brought Satan down and put his leg on him and he took the belt and handed it over to you. He said I don’t need it but you need, take it. For you now crying everyday I need the belt, I need the belt, he will be looking at you that I have given you the belt, go and exercise your championship.
Shout Hallelujah!!
Say with me: I am an overcomer.
Someone may ask of I am an overcomer then why all the troubles? Because you don’t know, my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. If I am an overcomer then why all these problems. ChurchGist. Why all these problems left and right, because you don’t know what Jesus has done. Ephesians 2: 4-6. Do you believe God loves you? We are seated with Christ in heavenly places, he said I awaken you by my dead and resurrection to be like me, I have placed you now where I am. I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, not for what I did but for what he did. Mine is to accept what he did. Where is the heavenly places? Ephesians 1:19-21. He has raised us up together far above all the Juju’s, far above the highest occult man, far above principalities and powers. You’re seated fat above. In the mind of God, we are raised up with Christ. Now, it is within the far above mentality that you can declare and you declaration becomes effective. If you don’t have a superior mentality over the devil, even when you’re declaring you will be afraid.
Listen, most times we speak but why we doubt is because we believe that Satan has power. But the moment you have a far above mentality if you’re talking, you talk with authority, because you know you’re superior to the devil, based on what Jesus did. That why the Bible says guide your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 3:23. make sure you guard what goes on the inside. ChurchGist. Listen, negative unspoken thought is dangerous have you thought about this before of how a native doctor is very powerful, you didn’t say it out, but it was a thought in your inside, you said see this Ognoni man, unknowingly you said it out, that guy if you see him, he has charms that gun cannot penetrate inside him. Now, you have said a negative thing, you have exalted the devil unconsciously in your mind, even if you don’t say it. If you declare anything at that time it will not work.
Everytime you magnify Satan, your declaration will be ineffective. Everything you put him where he belongs, your declaration begins to produce. Are you getting what I am saying? Say with me: I will get to know the word. ChurchGist. Never speak of doubt or anything else of a negative nature, even in your subconscious. Accepting and thinking doubt will paralyse your faith. Too many people allow doubt to take hold of their minds, they believe God did not mean what exactly he says he will do. They will say well if God will do it then why am I going through all these. Even the almighty God exercised faith, how many of you know? That he displayed faith, he did not bother about the devil. He spoke what he wanted. I am going to go deeper in my teaching.
There is a God side and there is a man side when it comes to speaking the Word. I pray the Holy Spirit will at this point help you. There is a God side and there is a human side. I am going to give you a typical example, for instance you have pains in your body. Listen, for example you have physical pains. Nobody will deny when there is pain because I have gone through pains, you have pain in your body, your mind and body will tell you that there is pain in your body, which is true. I have experienced pain before. I told you I have slept from Nigeria to London before and I kept my head in an uncomfortable way and when I woke up it was like there was no flow of blood. ChurchGist The pain that I felt that day was as though as if they amputated my hand. The pain was hitting my brain. I said that is this how people go through pain, with instant effect, within 30 minutes nothing in this world interested me.
The pain was terrible, everything in me felt it, so I know what pain is. Now, to say that there is no pain then you will be telling a lie, there is pain, the same goes for saying you’re not sick when you’re sick. When you’re sick you’re truly sick don’t say that you’re not sick, you’re sick. You will be wondering why Papa contradicts himself. What should you do then? Because when you’re sick you’re sick, when you have pains, you have pains. It is to ignore the pains and symptoms, ignore the negative, the circumstances the same way you ignore people. You know when you ignore somebody, you say please forget him, let him talk from now till tomorrow. ChurchGist . Do not confess the pain but confess the cure for the pain which is God’s Word. Do you understand me now? Don’t say there is no pain you will be lying but do not confess the pain, confess the cure which is God’s Word.
How many understand what I am saying. When that is done the pain will go, confessing the pain will not get rid of the pain, it will only increase it because pain confessed is pain possessed, fear confessed is fear possessed, poverty confessed is poverty possessed, poverty is in your life but don’t say you’re not poor, you will be lying but don’t confess poverty, confess the Word of God. ChurchGist. Inability to confess is inability to possess. I can’t do it , No! I can do all things. It is when you say it that you would have it, that is what creates it, now I am going to show you some examples from God himself.
I was sick and my eyes were yellow, I didn’t say I have hepatitis but I said by his stripes I am healed. I had it but I didn’t confess the yellow eyes, I said by his stripes I am healed. ChurchGist Do you understand the difference? You’re not saying you’re not sick, don’t confess the sickness, you confess the word that will confess the sickness. If you say the sickness is not there, you’re lying but you ignore the sickness when you confess the Word of God.
I am going to tell you something that will make you laugh, I overworked myself. Yesterday, I told you I have a testimony. Do you know when I came it was as if my head wanted to pull out, no attack it was stress. I knew it was stress but the moment I climbed the altar, I ignored the headache and I said by his stripes I am healed, it left.
Now let me show you from the Bible so that you can understand what I am saying. Genesis 1:1-2. The earth was shapeless, void, empty, no beauty, chaotic. ChurchGist. Did God talk about what was happening and this was the work of the devil. And darkness was on the face of the deep, who is darkness? Satan. That was what God was facing, the almighty God himself, God never confessed about the darkness, he didn’t mention the darkness, God ignored the darkness and God said let there be light, this is what I want irrespective of the resistance of the devil. I want light. Irrespective of the pain, by His stripes I am healed, irrespective of the poverty, he made me rich, irrespective of what is happening, you declare the Word of God, that is the winning faith.
God never bothered about darkness, stop talking about the devil, declare the word and create what you want, the almighty God saw darkness and he never talked about darkness, he said darkness I know you exist; I am not doubting your existence but I am not going to talk about you, I ignore you and what I want is my glory. ChurchGist. So, you don’t talk about sickness, yes you’re sick but you declare the Word of God and sickness will go. Do you understand? That is the creative force of faith. You speak what you want to create, you don’t speak what is happening.
That is why we need to know God’s Word, when pain comes what does the Bible says, by his stripes I am healed. If you think it does not make sense, it makes sense and it makes faith. When pain comes, what do you do? But his stripes I am healed. ChurchGist. You’re saying does it make sense? It makes faith. Listen, my eyes were still yellow when I said I am healed, my wife is a living witness she can tell you the story. I didn’t look at my eyes, I looked at the Word and I kept saying I am healed, in less than 3 days every symptom disappeared. Faith does not speak of what is happening, faith speaks the word.
Ignoring the pain does not mean it does not exist, pain exists it is real, in the midst of the pain stand on the integrity of God’s Word. How many understand my teaching? James 1:6. Don’t shake no matter what is happening stand on the integrity of God’s Word it must come to pass. He comes and asks you where you are healed, don’t waiver, confess your healing again. He said but pain is there, just maintain your declaration the pain will go. ChurchGist. You won’t know when the pain will go away. You will just wake up and notice that it is gone., Therefore I declare, everybody standing on God’s Word I declare your miracle born in the name of Jesus. Walk by faith. 2nd Corinthians 6:7.
2nd Corinthians 4:18. We were physically broke in this Church and I came up and say listen we are rich, there was no money at all, I said we are rich, he was made poor so that we could be rich, so I spoke the Word. Even though there was no dime, I kept on saying that we are rich. You know you have been saying poor guys that why you have lived a poor life. Stop saying poor guy you’re a rich guy. You’re rich. You’re not a suffer head, yes right now you’re going through some suffer head situation but you’re not a suffer head. ChurchGist. Yes, the suffering is what is before you but you’re not a suffer head, speak the word of God. In the midst of you looking like a suffer head, declare the Word, you’re not denying that you’re a suffer head, it will be a lie to deny that you’re not a suffer head but don’t say what you’re going through, say what us written.
We walk by faith and not by sight, don’t allow the things you’re seeing to control you, faith is standing on the integrity of the Word of God. 2nd Corinthians 4:18. What are the things that are seen, failure, sickness, name them, they are seen, they see poverty in your life, they see shame in your life, these are the things that are seen. What are the things that are not seen in you? ChurchGist. The Words I speak to you are life they are not seen. The things that are seen are subject to change, symptoms are that which are seen, poverty and failure can be seen. The word temporal means they are subject to change. So, if I get hold of God’s Word into my spirit and confess it with my mouth then I will see what I confess irrespective of the things I am seeing/feeling physically.
Everything I am seeing is subject to change if I can stand in the integrity of the Word of God. My duty is to lay hold of God’s Word. Whatever you’re going through, it will change today. Anything you see can change, poverty, shame, sickness. You can change anything you’re seeing with the Word of God. Once I see it, I can change it with the Word. Poverty is seen, no cloth to wear, you can change it with the Word of God. ChurchGist. Don’t allow poverty to control your life, don’t allow what you’re seeing control your life. Let this control your life. With the Woes of God, you can change what you’re seeing and that thing will change today. Say with me: I will confess only the Word, I will not confess what is happening, I will declare God’s Word.
The thing everybody is seeing is poverty but the Word says he died poor so that we can be rich. You’re not saying poverty does not exist, that is a lie, poverty exists but you’re not declaring what is happening, you’re declaring what is written. To say there is no pain is a lie but ignore pain and look at the Word of God it will remove the pain. ChurchGist. That is where many people miss it, they are sick and they are confessing that they are not sick you’re sick, to say that you’re not sick then you’re a liar. Ignore the sickness/pain the way you ignore people and declare the Word, by his stripes I am healed and tye sickness will go.
Shout Hallelujah!!!
Say with me: from today I will declare the Word of God irrespective of what I see.
So, if you want to create like God what do you do? God’s kind of faith does not say what is happening, God’s kind of faith speaks what they want. God’s kind of faith declares God’s Word and changes bad situations to good. God’s kind of faith speaks only what is written, not what is happening. In the midst of poverty I said I can’t be poor, I didn’t say I am not poor, I was poor how can I say I am not poor, with one suit, one shoe, I was poor but I ignored poverty and I declared that I am rich. I had only 1 coat, not a suit. There is a difference between suit and coat. ChurchGist. Suit is what I am wearing now while coat is the one that goes to the laundry and does not come back the same way and I don’t go to laundry, I go to the washer man.
There is a difference between laundry and washer man. Laundry is too big. The washer man they use hand and wash your clothes and when they come back the two hands will never be equal. I was poor but I never declared poverty. I ignored the symptoms. ChurchGist. Do you understand what faith is? Most times people think they are telling lies. Faith does not mean that you will ignore what is happening, faith is that you know what is happening but you don’t accept it, you ignore it. You stand in the Word.
I was poor. I had one shoe, my wedding shoe. I wore it to the point that the shoe broke and I had one black coat. I mix white shirt, brown trousers and a red tie with the black coat. I had only white shirts they were sold for #100. You need to see those white shirts, when it is starched, it will become something else. I didn’t bother myself about the poverty, I was talking that I am going to be one of the wealthiest preachers on the earth. I Kept on declaring that. You don’t say what you’re going through, say what you expect to see. ChurchGist. Faith does not say what is happening, faith says what it expects to see. God said I want light, forget darkness, the almighty God said ignore darkness.
Some of you keep declaring the situation of their family saying we are very poor, stop declaring that, you’re not poor, you belong to a new family, yesterday we told you so, is that true? So, talk like a person from that family. How many come from a rich family? How many of you come from a very wealthy family? If your hand is not up you don’t understand my teaching, yesterday I told you that you’re from the family of God, that us the richest family. ChurchGist. All of you that kept your hand down, you do not understand my teaching, you’re from the wealthiest family, the family of God. You’re not from a poor family, you’re from a very rich family.
You kept your hand down because your mentality is still thinking of your biological family. I come from the wealthiest family, the family of God. How many of you are from a wealthy family? You now know that you’re not from a poor family, tell yourself I am not from a poor family, shout hallelujah.
God can turn away any situation around with you declaring it in faith. 2nd Kings 7: there were 4 lepers and there was famine in the land, the whole Israel has no food to eat, everybody was complaining because there was no food to eat, but 4 lepers had faith that nobody had. ChurchGist. These four leprous men did something nobody in Israel did. Say to yourself: I will do something about my situation and my future. 2nd Kings 7: 1. ChurchGist. Elisha has prophesied that those things will happen, it takes people like these lepers to take hold of prophecies to be fulfilled, many times we will speak God’s word saying out of us shall proceed great men, great women many don’t do anything about what is declared.
2 Kings 7:3. Why must we sit here until we die? Those who say if I perish, I perish, they don’t perish. ChurchGist. The future was not promising to the four lepers, in the natural they had nothing to live for, nothing to hope for, nothing to motivate and inspire them in the natural. ChurchGist. Some people are like that, you look at your life there is nothing to hope for, nothing to motivate you, everything looks hopeless. But I have good news for you, your faith will take you through.
Say with me: I will rise up. They said if we perish, we perish we can’t stay here. ChurchGist. After this day that place you thought you can get too, you are going to take over. Where they stood to stop you, you will advance and take over in the name of Jesus. What people thought is impossible in your life, after this meeting you will be in charge in the name of Jesus.
2nd Kings 7:6-9. I decree everything that wants to molest you and I will clear the road for you and I in the name of Jesus. They heard a host the army ran away and lepers took over, this day everyone sitting in your destiny will fly out.
They went in and gathered. They said look, we have gathered enough, they were not selfish, they said let others come and join us. Say with me: I will rise and take a step. Listen, if you know the story, Elisha prophesied and said by this time tomorrow, it was only the lepers that believed the prophecy, every other person did not believe the Word of God, the lepers said the Word has gone forth, now let’s take a step of faith. ChurchGist. We have spoken, go and succeed and you’re still sitting down, go and prosper and you’re still sitting down, go and take over and you’re still sitting down, go get up and take a step of faith, Satan cannot stand your match of faith. It’s time to rise and march forward to drive the enemy from God’s given territory, if we have the courage to rise up and get forward with this march of faith our victory must be born.
Everything God has said in the Bible you have to take a step of faith. The thing you’re afraid of is waiting for you to take a step of faith, you think it’s too big to be the President of Nigeria, take a step of faith, the people who are going there, they don’t have two heads. ChurchGist. That contract you can have it, step up and move and say I want the Oil well, are you aware that one of the biggest oil company in Nigeria is folding up to leave Niger Delta, I won’t call the name of the Oil company, they want to leave Niger Delta as a whole, the biggest oil industry, so who will they give the well to? Uncircumcised people can’t take the well. Listen, it is not carrying guns, it is carrying God. Take a step of faith. They may not like it, but I will keep saying it, carrying gun in Niger Delta is the highest form of stupidity, because since they have been carrying guns they have not given them one oil well. With all the militancy not one oil well has been given to Niger Delta people, rather they are tired they are now kidnapping themselves. Have they kidnapped anybody in Abuja? No! It’s the same Ijaw people, yet you’re killing yourselves. So, stop the gun, believe the prophecy of the men of God.
Go and take over the well and I decree somebody hearing my voice they will hear noise and hand it over to you. in the name of Jesus, as a child of God take a step of faith, match to the camp where others are afraid and you take possession, anywhere you are in the world and you’re hearing my voice, go to where others are afraid to go. ChurchGist. The lepers said we are going to the camp if the Syrians, did they go there? They stepped in, they believed the Word of God, they declared it with their mouths, they took a step of faith and then they marched to the camp and nobody was there. Between now and the end of this year all your enemies will run away. I speak to somebody, everything you declare with your mouth you will have it happen.
