From generation to generation, God uses men to bless the whole of humanity and we have been blessed by scores of them. In the midst of all these great people, D.L.

WHAT RENDERS OUR FAITH DEAD

FAITH REVOLUTION SERIES

PART 4 – WHAT RENDERS OUR FAITH DEAD

       1.      Self-sufficiency

Our works of faith would be rendered inactive and unfulfilling if we are sufficient in ourselves. We must reckon that the Lord is the one working in our lives and He is constantly involved in fashioning our every blessing. When we begin to see our lives as complete, when we begin to see no need for prayer, fasting and crying unto God, we become sufficient in ourselves which takes God out of the equation. Our self-sufficiency robs God of His glory.

HINDRANCES TO QUALITY FAITH

FAITH REVOLUTION SERIES

PART 3 – HINDRANCES TO QUALITY FAITH

Any application of our faith as Christians encounters head-on collision from much opposition. There are many hindrances to our growth in faith. Some of which are:

1.     Present circumstances.

“And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

HOW TO KNOW YOUR FAITH IS ACTIVE

FAITH REVOLUTION SERIES

PART 2 – HOW TO KNOW YOUR FAITH IS ACTIVE

A faith that is active is one that is fully pleasing to God. These show that your faith is active:

1.      You don’t worry about material things.

“Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?” – Matthew 6:31. Jesus taught the people that a worry for material things portrays you as a Gentile. For they seek such things. Jesus taught them that God knows what you need and would provide it for them as they seek Him and His kingdom.

FAITH: CONCEPT OR SUBSTANCE

FAITH REVOLUTION SERIES

PART 1 – FAITH: CONCEPT OR SUBSTANCE

“And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not faint; Saying, there was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, “though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said,

BENSON IDAHOSA QUOTES FROM FAITH FOR ALL LIFE’S STORMS

One of the greatest inspirations to Christianity in Africa was the Archbishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory. He was a man who laughed in the face of Satan and knew how to exercise his faith. Concerning his book ‘Faith For All Life’s Storms’ he says, “Everybody faces a storm in life, but all through this book I’m going to teach you timeless truths and principles about how you can overcome ‘the storms of life’. Your storms must not overcome you, you must overcome them.”

PRAYERS “UNANSWERED”

Let me take you down memory lane

To that moment when you felt deserted

Betrayed and left to dry out in the sun

Then helplessness and broken-heartedness set in

Even frustration at times

THE GARMENT OR THE FAITH?

Let us consider Matthew 9:20-22:

And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

I PERCEIVE POWER GOING FROM ME

On one busy day Peter and some faithful followers thought that Jesus was either being unreasonable or maybe looking for an opportunity to teach from the library of His divine parables. In the midst of crowds Jesus asked who touched My clothes? (Mk. 5:30).

10 [WATCHMAN NEE] LESSONS ON FAITH

 

1. What is faith? Faith is when you are brought to the place whereby you can claim from God that something has already been done even though it appears it has not. 
2. Faith is the substantiation of things hoped for (Heb. 11:1). This means making them real in experience. Substance is an object, I possess – something before me. Substantiating means that I have the power or faculty to make that substance be real to me.

THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL

     The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans expressed his zeal to preach the gospel of Christ without shame. Though he had not been to the church in Rome, Paul wrote this letter to teach them that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel of Christ. The Gospel of Christ, however, is the sum total of the teachings and life of Jesus Christ. It was in those days a great challenge for a Jew to proclaim the gospel because the Jews had rejected Him (Christ) and even called Him a devil. Not only that but He was delivered into the hands of gentiles (that is, the Romans) to be killed.
