The Seventh Hindrance To Divine Blessing Is Lack
Of Faith:
People of God faith, is discovering
or locating God’s word for an issue
or a situation, believing what you
have discovered, acting on it as if
it will not fail and praising God or thanking Him in advance; these
are the four components of faith.
Faith
is not just what you believe; faith is what you do because of what you believe.
Therefore, the bible said in Hebrews
11:6: “that without faith, it is impossible to please God” meaning that you
can’t deal with God except you operate in Faith.
In James 1:5-7, the bible says: “if any
man lacks wisdom (which of course is the same thing as money, healing); He said
let the person ask God who gives without blaming anybody, but let the person ask
in faith”. God does not deal with people who don’t believe his Word, people who
don’t believe that what they are asking God will come to pass. He said that let
anyone who is asking in doubt not think that he will receive anything from God
because that kind of person is like a man who is tossed by the wind, never
steady.
In Matthew 17:19-20, Jesus said to his
disciples that if they have faith even as small as mustard seed that they can
command situations (impossible situations) to become possible and nothing shall
be impossible to them. Whether it is in the realm of making money, whether it
is in the realm ministry, whether it is in the realm of profession, whether it
in your academics, you need to operate in faith.
People
of God, in many cases and circumstances in our life, we will come like Israel
came before the Red Sea. We will come like Israel came before the Walls of
Jericho. We will come to a situation where what God has prepared for us or
released for us is ahead of us; but we need to cross certain obstacles and
challenges in other to experience the full manifestation of what God has
ordained for us. Now, in that kind of circumstance, there is nothing that can
save the situation except a miracle; and you cannot get a miracle without
faith. Every miracle is a product of faith and we define faith in concrete
terms and told you what it is. We said that Faith is discovering or locating God’s
word for an issue or a situation, believing
what you have discovered with all your heart like a baby, acting on it as if it will not fail and
praising God or thanking Him in advance.
Faith
links us to the abilities of God. It’s like a fuse that releases the Power of
God into our spirit; so that we move from the level of humanity and we becoming en-grafted in God’s nature which is divinity. When that happens, you can see
things only God can do happen in your life; because you have enlarged unto the
abilities of God by Faith. Faith only comes by hearing of the Word.
Faith
is not bravado; it is not foolishness or being unrealistic. Faith is not
refusing to face our situation and circumstances. Faith is facing our
circumstances, acknowledging the physical reality of where we are or what is
facing us but discovering what God said in His Word concerning that area. So
that what God has said overtakes the physical reality in our spirit; so that
the power of God neutralizes or overshadows as it where, those facts that seem
physically to create impossible situations. When Israel came before the Red
Sea, there was no denying the fact that the Red Sea was in front of them and it
was a physical fact. But God had the solution and when He spoke, He told Moses
to tell the Israelite s to move forward. And when they moved towards the brink
of the water, God commanded Moses to strike the water with his rod which he did
and the water parted. When they came face to face with the Walls of Jericho and
that what was standing between them and their blessings of entering into their
promise land. God gave the Israel a
detailed instruction of they go will round about the Walls of Jericho; that
which brought down Jericho.
Now if
you are facing situations in your life that only miracles; which is His divine
intervention can sought out, then you can’t cross that point except you believe
absolutely to what the Word of God says.
People
of God, believing what the Word of God says and having a faith is a different
thing from having a mental ascent. Mental ascent means: I agree with what the
Word of God is saying but Faith means: I believe it, am standing on it and am
going to work on it. Mental ascents are agreement but without the decision to
act on what you have believed or what you believe.
