TOPIC: FAITH AND THE WORD (LIGHT)
TEXT: ROMANS 10:8,17; ACTS 6:7; 1 THESSALONIANS 1:8; HEBREWS 11:3; 13:7
SERVICE OBJECTIVES:
1. Understanding faith
2. Understanding the place of the Word in the life of faith
Scripture reveals that faith is essential to the life and existence of the child of God (Hab. 2:4; Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11)
Faith is the life-wire of the child of God (Hab. 2:4)
The Word of God is the fuel for faith (Rom.10:17)
The life of the just is determined by faith (Hab. 2:4; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38; Rom. 1:17)
Your life depends on your faith and your faith depends on the Word of God (Rom. 10:8,17)
To be empty of Word is to be empty of faith and to be empty of faith is to put life in jeopardy
WHAT IS FAITH?
1. Faith is receiving the Word of God, believing the Word, declaring the Word, behaving the Word and experiencing the results of the Word (Rom. 10:8-10; Mark 5:25-29; 2Cor. 4:13)
THE COMPONENTS OF FAITH AS SEEN IN ROM. 10:8-10; MARK 5:25-29; 2COR. 4:13
1. Receiving the Word of God (by reading and studying the Word of God)
2. Believing the Word of God
3. Declaring the Word of God
4. Behaving the Word of God (acting the Word)
2. Faith is accessing Scriptural possibilities, accepting Scriptural responsibilities, and experiencing supernatural realities despite earthly negativities (Heb. 11:3; Matt. 14:24-29)
All you need in the midst of any storm is one Word! (Matt. 14:27)
If you have the Word, you can walk on any storm
THE COMPONENTS OF FAITH AS SEEN IN HEB. 11:3; MATT. 14:24-29:
1. The discovery of scriptural possibilities
2. The acceptance of scriptural responsibilities
3. The rejection of earthly negativities
THE OUTCOME: Supernatural realities
3. Faith is discovering the faithfulness of God from His Word, displaying faithfulness to both God and His Word, and taking delivery of the results of His faithfulness and Al-mightiness (Heb. 10:32; Heb.11:11; Heb.6:12)
God is too faithful to fail, too reliable to reverse and too dependable to deceive!
THE COMPONENTS OF FAITH AS SEEN IN HEBREWS 10:32 and 11:11
1. The discovery of the faithfulness of God
2. The display of faithfulness to both God and His Word
3. The deployment of tenaciousness until results come (Heb.6:12)
4. Faith is the boldness to speak, act and stand on the revealed and believed Word of God (Eph. 3:12; Acts 4:13)
The Presence of Faith is the presence of audacity; the absence of faith is the reason for timidity
THE COMPONENTS OF FAITH AS SEEN IN EPHESIANS 3:12 and ACTS 4:13:
1. Encountering the revealed Word
2. Believing the revealed Word
3. Declaring the revealed Word
4. Acting on the revealed Word
5. Standing on the revealed Word
5. Faith is an agreement with God and His Word, leading to commitment to God and His Word, and experiencing fulfillment from God and His Word (Rom. 4:12; Gen. 12:1-5)
THE COMPONENTS OF FAITH AS SEEN IN ROM. 4:12 and GEN. 12:1-5:
1. Accessing Divine commands or instructions
2. Agreement with Divine commands or instructions
3. Commitment to Divine commands and instructions
THE OUTCOME: The experiencing of fulfillment
This is a realm of obedience without question; many times the person of faith is seen as a fool to the world but the foolishness of God is wiser than men.
6. Faith is being aflame with Word-based revelation, conviction, declaration and action, to see manifestations (Rom. 10:8-11; Mark 5:25-29)
THE COMPONENTS OF FAITH AS SEEN IN ROM. 10:8-11; MARK 5:25-29:
1. Word-based revelation
2. Word-based conviction
3. Word-based declaration
4. Word-based action
THE OUTCOME: Manifestations
Faith is not just something you know, it is not just something you believe, it is not just something you say, it is something you do, and the action is the switch of power!
Declare: ‘Something that is not of God must stop in my life today!’
HOW DOES THE WORD INFLUENCE OR AFFECT FAITH?
1. The Word of God unveils and reveals the provisions and promises of God for the child of God, and that imparts faith
The Word of God sheds light on your right, and light of right imparts might for fight!
The promises of God are premises that give you what to stand on in order to place a demand
You must know what is promised so that you can make demands on what is promised!
It can be yours but it is never yours until you know it is yours!
If you can see it, no devil can stop you from having it!
The Word of God shows you what is yours and shows you what to go for, which builds your faith
2. The Word of God unveils and reveals the lives and times of those who trusted God and experienced results, and your knowledge of that inflames your faith (Heb. 11:32-35)
3. The Word of God reveals the faithfulness, dependability, reliability and trustability of God and that imparts faith (Mal. 3:6; Titus 1:1-2)
If a Word is from God, it is the TRUTH and if it is from the devil, it is a LIE!
4. The Word of God destroys fear, doubt and unbelief, and that establishes faith (Eph. 3:12; Acts 4:13; Rom. 10:8)
The Word of God is the injection of faith, it is lethal to doubt.
5. The Word of God imparts the life and nature of God into man, and that nature is a nature of faith and boldness (Ezek. 2:2; John 6:63; 2Pet. 1:4; John 1:1)
6. The Word of God feeds, fuels and grows faith (Rom. 10:8, 17; Acts 6:7)
To eat Word is to grow faith (Rom. 10:8, 17; Acts 6:7)
The Word of God feeds your revelation and fuels your conviction
Great destinies attract great battles. If the devil after your life and destiny is a goliath, then your destiny is that of the throne!
HOW TO ACCESS THE WORD:
1. Through a heart of meekness (Ps. 25:9; Jam. 1:2)
2. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit (1Cor. 2:9-10; John 14:26)
The Word of God sheds light on your right, and light of right imparts might for fight!
3. Through a heart of desperation (Hos. 6:3; Luke 5:1; Matt. 5:6)
Those who put pressure find treasure; you get revelation by desperation
PRAYERS
In the Name of Jesus, the Word of God is the container of my inheritance and everything written inside the Word about my life, MUST COME TO PASS! To hell with the devil and to Heaven with the promises!
Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Open Thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of Your Book. Lord, give me the heart of meekness. I apply for the Ministry of the Holy Spirit for insight. I receive it NOW!
Father, open my eyes that I may behold wonders out of Your Word; open my eyes to behold Your reliability, dependability and trustability. Give me the grace to be faithful to You Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
Father, I receive the grace for a heart of meekness, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and desperation for insight, in Jesus’ Name!
Father, I come before You and ask that You open my eyes to the revelation of Your Word that will produce revelation, conviction and actions that will result in manifestations, in Jesus’ Name.
