Basics Of Faith Series 

Introduction

What Is Faith?

1. Complete trust or confidence in someone or something (Dictionary).
2. Strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof (Dictionary).
3. True Saving Faith is Trusting in Jesus Christ Alone for our eternal life – Acts 16:31 (Evangelism Explosion).

“So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household”

 Faith is a journey, it is our life style. To get anything done in the Kingdom of God, we need to have faith in the word of God and also believe that it will work for us according to the will of our Father in Heaven. Romans 1:17

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

We shall look at Five Basic Keys Of Faith.

Hebrew 11:1-40

1. Faith Is Trusting in God Not Our Own Strength and Abilities– Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall ^[a]direct your paths.

• Faith is transferring our trust from money, possessions, human effort and ourselves onto God.
• It is using God`s understanding and instructions above human set norms.
• Our faith is seen in our obedience to God`s instructions and authority without engaging reasoning.

John 2:2

⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

• It is acknowledging the power of God as supreme authority above our way.
• Faith is seeking God for direction in life and everything we do.

2. Faith is Our Assurance, Hope and Confidence of Things Not SeenHebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the ^[a]substance of things hoped for, the ^[b]evidence of things not seen.”

• Faith is the substance of things you believe God for. If you are believing God for a job, we shall see your desire by your faith.
• Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Others have not seen what you are believing God for. You are the only one who has seen your expectations. Faith will make our expectations become evident for everyone to see.
• Before we can handle our miracles, faith must be in place. Faith is the vehicle that delivers our expectations.

3. Faith Gives Us Understanding Of Who God Is and His Abilities– Hebrews 11:3.

“By faith we understand that the ^[a]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”

• Science cannot explain how God made the universe by his word only but Faith explains to us.
• The things we see, were not made from the visible. In short faith created what we see now. It also means that whatever, we cannot see, can be created by the word of God we boldly speak in faith.

4. Faith Commends Us Righteous Before God

Hebrews 11:4

“By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.”

• Abel obtained a good report as righteous before God. God testified of his gift even though he was dead.
• Faith will speak for you even when your absence.
• Without faith, we cannot walk a life of righteousness. If we lack faith, we cannot receive salvation.

Ephesians 2:8

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,”

• We cannot access salvation by grace from God if the link of Faith is missing.
• Faith delivers our salvation and declares us righteous before God.

5. Faith Makes Us To Please GodHebrews 11:5-6

“By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

• Faith makes us to receive eternal life. When we believe in Jesus Christ, we shall have eternal life.
• Faith in God gives us a good report and testimony before God and men.
• We can only please God when our Faith is in place in our lives. When Faith is missing, we automatically, disconnect and distance ourselves from God.
• Faith will make us to diligently seek God and he will reward us for trusting in him.

What Happens When We Start Walking By Faith?

1. By Faith We Are Transformed –

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new”

We become transformed by Faith if we are in Christ Jesus.  We are transformed into a new creation, the old has gone. By Faith we start experiencing the divine nature of God in our lives. Sickness, poverty, lack and want, delays, confusion etc. are in the old nature. In our new creation we are not allowed to suffer again because Jesus paid the full price. By Faith in God`s word, let us take steps to actualize our real status in Christ Jesus.

1. Faith Gives Us Strength To Push On in Life – Philippians 4:13

“I can do all things through ^[a]Christ who strengthens me.”

Paul drew his strength to do exploits in ministry from his strong faith in God`s grace. Faith and a consistent walk drew his strength from the Lord Jesus Christ with the Lord.

1. Faith Brings Stability in Our Lives – Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

Faith brings Stability in the heat of trials, tribulations and challenging times. By Faith we shall access God`s protection, provisions and intervention. We cannot receive or please God outside beyond our level of faith.

23. Faith Makes All Things Possible – Mark 9:23.

“Jesus said to him, “If^[a] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

God makes all things possible to us if we only we believe. This means that our faith is our access to divine intervention. Our faith is the only thing that will limit God to perform. Where our faith ends, that is where God will perform.

2 Kings 4:6

 “Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel. ”And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.”

May our faith in God receive divine strength in Jesus name.

Prayers

1. Father I ask for grace to fully trusts in you and lean on your understanding in Jesus name.
2. Father by faith we speak to every mountain be still in Jesus name.
3. Father by Faith we begin to walk in the reality of our new creation in Jesus name.
4. Father we thank you for answering all our prayers in Jesus name.

Scripture: Matthew 19:4-6

God is a pioneer, founder and architect of the institution called marriage. A marriage is a union between a Man and Woman. We must understand that even though Marriage is made is Heaven, it needs Earthly maintenance. Literally, everyone looks forward to getting married. However, the glamour, flamboyance, glory and excitement that come with the ceremony, are not a determining factor that a marriage will last. The couple must have full knowledge of what is required of them and daily put to practice these critical truths and requirements in their marriage.

KEY REQUIREMENTS TO BUILD A LASTING MARRIAGE?

Many times we teach marriage using formulae, traditions and other people`s experience. The truth about marriage is only found in the bible which outlines the requirements God, the manufacturer and author has put in place for it to function properly.

ORDER OF HIERACHY

G =           GOD

M =          MAN

W =          WOMAN

C  =           CHILDREN

C =            CAREER

F =            EXTENDED FAMILIES

C =            CHURCH

C =            COMMUNITY

1. MARRIAGE IS A COVENANT NOT A COVENIENT ACTIVITY 

The second highest relationship on Earth after salvation is marriage. There is a reason why God created man both male and female. We have a specific role to play according to his plan for marriage and life.

Man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife. This is referring to the union between a man (male) and a woman (female). God has never made any provision for man to desire and worse enough to marry fellow man or woman marrying fellow woman. That is a deliverance case.  Parents must also respect this covenant of marriage. They must no longer treat and control their children as if they are still dependents. This will not only affect the young marriage, but will also frustrate them.

The two (man and woman) will become one Flesh Means: They Enter Into A Covenant of Marriage. Everything about them becomes one. No one must speak about himself or herself but as one. My car is now our car, my money is now our money, and my house now, is our house. My parents now, are our parents. Any married person who speaks like a single person, will soon leave that marriage.

What God has put together, no man should split or Put asunder or Separate. No Man must come between a husband and a wife. No parents must do this; neither girl friend nor boy friend must have a relationship with a married person. If you do you, God will fight and punish you himself. You have broken the law. NO Man!! Nothing must come in between the married couple. As wife, your pre occupation is your own husband, take care of him, love him, feed him, and satisfy him. Leave no room for single girls to come near him. Take care of yourself and make yourself attracted for your husband. Men whatever another woman has, your wife has better. Cultivate it and you will be satisfied all the time.

Please not that the moment you enter marriage covenant, you are not allowed to have any sexual partner than your wife. Deuteronomy 5: 18, “You shall not commit adultery“ 21 “You must not covet your neighbour`s wife.”

Hebrews 13:4 “Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure. God will judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.”

God has highly esteemed marriage covenant. Whoever, must enjoy this blessings must ensure they keep the marriage bed pure. God will personally punish all adulterers. If we have messed up before, now is the time to make things right. Let the wise hear, in Jesus name.

A covenant is not a feeling. Even if you have been fighting before as a couple, the covenant is till in force. It still stands, irrespective of your circumstances. Once you say I DO, you cannot say I DO NOT ever and you cannot come out. It will only end when one spouse dies. Till then, keep enjoying the company of each other.

2. RESPONSIBILITY, COMMITMENT AND EFFORT

Marriage is glorious, but it`s glory is not automatic; it calls for responsibility, commitment and effort. Any marriage that will last is one, is where husband and wife work as a team, take responsibility for their actions and make every effort to ensure that it flourishes.

Ephesians 4:2-3“Be completely humble and gentle; Be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the spirit of unity through the bond of peace.”

Humility, gentleness, patience and love are fruit of the spirit that must manifest in both husband and wife. Both must make deliberate effort to keep the spirit of unity in spirit, body and purpose through peace not violence.

3. NEVER STOP DATING YOUR SPOUSE

There should never be a moment when we lose our love for our spouse in marriage. Those things that pushed us to get married, will also keep us stay married. Keep the romance of love burning. Ephesians 5:33 “However, let each one of you LOVE his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she RESPECTS her husband.”

To love your wife as a man, is loving yourself. To respect and honour your husband as a woman is respecting your self.

Make every effort to keep your private love life alive and up to date. Man (male and female) by nature is a love being. Where there is no love, then the foundation of marriage has cracks.

Have you wondered why some men follow young girls? Personally, I do not think it is right. However, let look at what makes those elderly men to do so.

They seek to have some fun, they want to play, they want to bring their youthful days alive again, and they want to explore their inner energies. The question is, why don’t they do it with their wives back home?

Whatever the reason, wives make your husband feel younger, do not become like his mother. He wants to have fun and light moments, it is a must.

A couple that stays together not only PRAYS together, but also PLAYS together. Be a PRAYING and PLAYING couple. Have fun and do things together as a family.

May the Lord bless our marriages.

Prayers 

1. Father help me to respect the marriage covenant in Jesus name
2. Father from today I make a fresh commitment to take responsibility, be committed and make every effort to build a godly marriage in Jesus name
3. Father renew our zeal for each other as before in Jesus name
4. Father may honour your name in our marriages and family in Jesus name

DEFINITIONS
Divine is God`s ability, supernatural intervention and involvement
Direction is coordinated movement, well defined course, moving with a particular destination intentionally. Course of action.
Pathway is avenue, course, route, road, and means to get to your destination.
Therefore, I define Pathway to Divine Direction as God showing you coordinated movements, secrets and ideas in a well-defined course, avenue, and roadmap with intention of reaching your final destination or goal in life. Please not that they are both spiritual and physical in nature. Man is a Spirit, has a soul (Will, mind and Emotions) and lives in a body. God want you to access divine direction in all the three spheres.
INTRODUCTION
Pathway to Divine Direction is for those who are action oriented. Those who are ready to defy the standard norms that limit their manifestation in life. Divine Direction for everyone who is tired of any form of limitations to their dreams, Everyone who is overdue to deliver, actualise and maximise destiny. Let me say that if you do not develop yourself, your God given vision, dreams, talents, gifting’s, and your capacity, you will be relegated to be a follower, spectator, and cheerleader for those who are investing their time into self development.
Saints, you are loaded. God created you heavy. He created you to dominate in your field. If you are a teacher, be the best teacher in town. If you are a cook, be the best cook around and let people buy your franchise. If you are a singer, be the world-class singer. If you are a designer, be the best designer in your life. Change your mind-set because God has already made a heavy investment in you. You are loaded. If you fail, you will not only fail yourself, but first your family, generations and above all your greatest investor, God in Heaven. All you need to succeed was deposited already in your at creation. Look inside and you will discover it right now. Your greatness is within you not abroad. After this service, may you discover your real you in Jesus name.

Let Me Share with you Two Pathways that lead to divine direction.
SEEK THE WAY.
There are so many ways you can do things, so many modes of transportation i.e. water cruise, road, air, walking, running etc. The first thing one must do to access Divine Direction is to seek the way that will lead to where you must end faster than others.
“Ecclesiastes 10:15 The Labour of the Foolish Wears everyone of them, because they do not KNOW HOW to go to the City.”
God is the one who created life, so he knows HOW life should be lived. If you miss the HOW, then you have missed your life. Today, Many marriages are a source of death. Did God create marriage for this? No. We have missed the How. Many destined for greatness have ended us not reaching their destination.
God knows where you must go,ask him. He will never Go on your behalf, take the journey and move towards your destination. Have you ever-wondered why, people who keep trying, always always keep achieving? They could make mistakes but they learn their lessons and start all over again. Where you failed before, ask God to show you the right way and go try again. In 2011, I left formal employment, which was a very good paying job. At the time I was the had a Mercedes Benz. So you know it was a good job. The job paid for my entire tertiary education. When my time in that job come to an end, and I knew I needed to drop it. I asked God what the next assignment was and he showed me the way. I Entered business world. Unfortunately, the first one crushed. I sought God again to fine-tune the instruction he gave me. Went into prayer for a full and half year alone, then God showed one key pathway. I am still walking in it today. Imagine if I gave up after one major set back, when everything crushed, even MCCCI now, would have not been here today.Receive grace to depend on Divine Direction in Jesus name. God can show you the way out of debt; he can show you the way to the top. He can show you both spiritual and earthly matters.
In John 14:5-6 “Thomas said to him, “ Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “ I am the way the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Thomas was with the way Jesus the way to the Father, yet he was ignorant of the way he was with for over three years.
Many of us are asking the way when the way lives right in us. Jesus is the way to Divine Direction. For those who are born again, you are entitled to access divine purpose, direction and secrets from Heaven at will by the help of the Holy Spirit.
If you are not born again, beloved you are missing the major part of your life. You need Jesus he died for you and I despite of shortcomings, sins and wrongs. Only He alone can save, cleanse and pardon us. If we confess our sins, repent from evil and ask him into our hearts, we too will be qualified to enjoy new life in Christ Jesus.
DISCOVER YOUR VISION
The starting point of greatness is a vision. Vision is an Image of where you must end. Your final destination. Only those who have awell-defineddestination will be focused and determined to get there. There is a particular thing you and only can do exceptionally well. Not every business is good for you. It is not every job you must do. At age 8 years you must have a picture of who you must be. At 16, you must know where you are going. At age 24 you must be very precise with what you want to do with your life. You discover your vision in reading the bible, books, meditation, prayer, fasting, thinking, reasoning and questioning things and God.
Habakkuk 2:2 “Write down the Vision/Revealation/Answer and make it plain on the tablet/paper/ipad/wall so that a herald may run with it”
The greatest asset one must own is a VISION. There is a big difference between a vision and a dream. A vision is real and happens when you are awake. A dream mostly is vague and happens in intervals mainly at night. A vision is more clear and precise than a dream. A dream can only mature into a Vision once when these five attributes are in place:
It is defined
It is written down for others to see and follow
It is able to attract others to buy into it
It is acted upon
It is sensible, profitable, feasible and attainable.
Vision has influence and power not only on yourself but on others too. Five things we must know about vision as ascribed by Habakkuk.

1. Vision Breeds Focus on its Visionary and Followers:
Any person of vision is focused; they are drunk with a strong desire to see their vision deliver the expected results. Vision has stronger ability to make you stay on course. That is why you see a person of vision they will tell you things which sometimes do no make sense to an ordinary mind.
2. Vision Must be Written Down Plainly
If you have a vision and you have not put it in written it is still a dream not a vision. Vision is action oriented. Pen it down. Vision has an attribute of strategic thinking. It changes your mind-set and enhances the power of imagination. What seemed hard before putting it on paper, it will soon seem visible because you have well articulated and pointed out every piece of detail about your vision
Vision Starts Alone But Ends with Multitudes
A vision is contagious/transferable/infectious/communicable. People can buy into your vision. Once you sort out every detail, people will buy into it. People with a vision a few but there are millions of people out there willing to follow a sensible, feasible, profitable and attainable vision. That is why there will only be one CEO in a company but many employees, Many members and pastors in a ministry but one Founder. People of vision attract multitudes. Focus and improve on your vision, sooner than later, multitudes will come to seek your audience and they will not come empty handed.
Vision attract Important People
Your vision will determine and select the type of destiny helpers. The quality of your vision will determine the quality of your destiny helpers. So work on it very well. Present it professionally. The way you package it, is the way people will address you. Heralds are important people in authority with influence and affluence. These are not ordinary people they are decision makers and well connected. Your vision must be beneficial to the poor, the middle class and the rich. These are people who make sure the vision becomes a reality
Vision Has Potential To Make You Run
There is a huge deposit of energy in vision. Every vision-oriented individual has great energies. If you are been forced to go to that church, to love your spouse, office, finish your assignment, then you do not buy into that vision. You may not feel like doing it, but the moment you buy into it, your energy levels automatically go up. People of vision are not lazy, they work hard. They push even when all things are against them. I want you to honestly answer these two questions to yourself. Do you to to bed because it is night? Or because you have achieved every item on the list for the day?
God is ready to show and restore your life. God saw that people needed planes to travel the world faster than boats, canoes and cart. So he gave the vision to Orville and William Wright two brothers, sister and their father to discover Aero Engineering with little resources but great initiative. At that time, no one believed a metal kite could fly. So based on their limited thinking, the whole world mocked them especially at home. Today the plane has evolved to make life better for humanity.
He raised ITC giants like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, to revolutionalise the technology industry. Today we have Apple and Microsoft.
God wanted African churches to embrace prosperity and grow mega Faith Gatherings. He raised his generals in Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Bishop David Oyedepo among others.
God is looking for whom to give divine ideas that will change not only your life, family, others around you, your community, nation and generations to come.

I pray for you this week, may you discover why God created you in Jesus name.
Prayers Points
Father I thank you because you created me for great exploits. I am loaded with purpose in Jesus name
Father as your child, show me the way to my greatness in Jesus name
Father give me a vision in form of a divine idea, multi million dollar invention and discoveries in Jesus name
Father use me to reach to those who are doubting that you are alive in Jesus

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11
As we conclude on Divine Direction, we must realise that God has great plans, great intentions for each and every one of His Child. It is our duty to ensure that we comply with his guidelines, laws and regulation in order to experience the reality of Divine Direction in our lives. Whenever, we are walking in Divine Direction, God showers us with blessings. There are many blessings but we shall only Look at four today.
1. PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION
Whenever we walk in Divine Direction and Gods will, He sets a hedge to Protection and Preservation around us, our children, family, works of our hands, ministry, and all that concerns us.
Job 1:11 “Have you not put a Hedge around him, His household, around all that he has on every side. You have blessed the works of his hands and his possession have increased in the land”
God`s Protection and Preservation supersedes that of all insurance companies put together. His Protection covers you as a person, your family, and the works of your hands, all your possessions and preserves them. He also preserves all that you have forever as long as you continue to be under His Divine Direction and covering. His protection is from the first to the fourth generations. When God protects you, He also Preserves you from destruction. He puts a hedge around you and the devil cannot do anything about it.
Exodus 13:21 “The Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of CLOUD and he provided LIGHT at night with a pillar of FIRE. This allowed them to travel by day or by night.
God has got best interest for each one of us. It is in our best interest that we stay in the will of God for our lives.
From today, as you stay under God`s Divine Direction, may you enjoy round about Protection and Preservation in Jesus name.
2. PROSPERITY AND POSTERITY
When God blesses a man, the same blessings rests also on his family, those around and nations too get the effect of God`s blessings.
Genesis 12:2“I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
God blessed Abraham, made him a great nation, put a hedge of protection on his life, and also made him a conduit of blessings for prosperity in his time, and in our generation and those to come. Prosperity is God blessing you now, Keeping those blessings and passing them with increased value from one generation to another generation, is God Posterity. It is living legacy. A man who God blesses, the blessing is evident in him, his children, ministry and many generations long after he is gone to be with the Lord. The blessings of God on your life will not die with you but your generation will celebrate the doing of God through you in Jesus name.

3. PURPOSE AND PLANS ARE REVEALED
Jeremiah 29:11“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
God knows the plans He has for you. So ask Him he will show you. We all were created with one purpose for our lives; the purpose may not be the same. If you do not discover your purpose, you will not be successful, fulfilled and satisfied. You will not live your full life. Your manufacturer knows you better. To function to optimal level, we need to ask God to reveal to us his purpose and plans for our lives today.
God`s plans purpose for each one of us, is to prosper us, to make us successful, to make us achieve our full life, to make us actualise all our dreams, goals and aims.
His plans for us is to guarantee us a glorious future because in Him we have hope. Beloved do not give up on your life, there is hope for you. Your end shall be great as you stay in God`s plan and will for your life in Jesus name.
4. PLENTY BLESSINGS
Psalm 2:8 “ Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the Earth your possession.
If we ask God all the blessings of nations will be ours. He can make nations our inheritance. Meaning the best of each nation s of the world is yours if you ask him. This means that let us ask God for big and major impact on nations. I see you taking the gospel to nations and the Lord paying you back with your everyone of your desire. He says the ends of the earth your possession. It means, no nation will reject you, it means nations of the world will cooperate to favour you and their best of blessings shall be yours too.
Isaiah 1:19“If you are willing and obedient, you eat the good things of the Land”
Our key to accessing the blessings of God is our willingness to be led by God and our Obedience to following instructions the Lord gives us. IF we do, He says, we shall eat the good things of the land. As you are willfully obey every instruction from God, the good things of the Land shall be your possession in Jesus name.

Prayers
1. Father I ask you to set a hedge of protection and preservation over my life in Jesus name
2. Father make me great and a blessing to the nations of the World in Jesus name
3. Father I ask of you, show me that one purpose you created me now in Jesus name
Father you said ASK, now I am willing and obedient to your word. I ask of nation as my inheritance and the best of the land as my possession.

1. INTRODUCTION

 Beloved welcome to our new month of July. The Lord has been gracious to us at both individual and church levels, in every way from January to date. He is a faithful God.

All of us are running our own race. Many know that they are running, while a good number also do not know that they are running. While others are running other people`s race, yet still, others are busy running by pulling and slowing others down. By the grace of God run very well and lift others along also in Jesus name.

Paul the greatest of all Apostles said in 2 Timothy 4:7, that “ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”  Paul admonishes us that we must fight a good fight, it is not good enough to fight, and we must FININSH the race well. Also to finish well, we need to keep our faith in God`s word and his ability to perform.

Beloved, no one can run this Christian race without GOD enabling you to do so.  God is ready to guide our steps; by strength shall no man prevail (1 Samuel 2:9). There is no great man, pastor, evangelist or great servant of God, who does not recognize the HAND and GRACE of God at work in their lives.

Please note that, when you run alone it is called a RACE. When you run with God it is called G-RACE. July our month of GRACEFUL LIVING.

2. WHAT DOES GRACEFUL LIVING MEAN?

Isaiah 43:2 God is saying “When you pass through the WATERS (Many Storms of life), I (Your God) be with you; when you pass through the RIVERS (Many Challenges of life), they will not sweep you over. When you walk through the FIRE (tribulations and hard times), you will not be burned; the flames (Sudden events and trials) will not set you ablaze.

Graceful Living means God standing with you in every situation you are going through. God did not promise to take away the raging Waters, nor make the rivers disappear, not the fire to be put off, nor did he say that the flames would not suddenly pop up at us. He said:

Ø  In Waters, I will be with you.

Ø  The Rivers, will not sweep you over

Ø  Fires, will not burn you

Ø  Flames will not set you ablaze.

What you are going through will not kill you, it will not sweep you over, it will not burn you down, neither will it set you ablaze.

When you are doing what God has commissioned you to do in your ministry, marriage, family, business, career and life, the Lord working with you, and confirming the word with SIGNS (of his presence) following,(Mark16:20) that is what is called GRACEFUL LIVING beloved.

From today onwards, enjoy sweatless victories as you enjoy GRACEFUL LIVING in Jesus.

3. THREE KEYS TO UNLOCK GRACEFUL LVING

1. USE GOD GOD`S TIME NOT YOURS

At age 75 year old, God spoke to Abram to leave his family, his nation, father`s house to a land God was to show him. What God gave Abram was a BLESSING. Many of us are looking for hard currency. Blessing is living under open heaven and empowered to succeed. Genesis 12:1-5.v At 100 years he had Isaac the son of the PROMISE (Genesis 21:5). Do you know the clock God is using for your life?

May I speak to someone, who feels they are behind everyone in everything, May God cause you to rejoice like Sara did atage 91 years when Isaac was born (Genesis 21:7) in Jesus name. May God give your early satisfaction.

1. GRACE GIVES YOU SPEED

When Elijah had killed all 400 prophets of Baal, he told King Ahab to go, eat and drink while he went up to pray(CHARGING HIS SPIRIT). (1 Kings 18:41-42). In verse 44, Elijah told Ahab to start off after they getting satisfied and energized with food and drinks(ENERGY). Mind you, King Ahab had amodern, start of art and very fast chariot(motor cade). As Ahab rode to Jezreel, the Power (GRACE) of the Lord came upon; he ran ahead/before/outran Ahab all the way to Jezreel(46).

That is the graceful Living. May this be your realm from this month and for the rest of your life in Jesus name.

In Acts 8:39-40 “When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord, suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and travelled about, preaching the gospel in all towns until he reached Caesarea.”

Philip was another disciple who enjoyed speed in his ministry by the power of the Holy Spirit. There are many ways to move; one can walk, run, cycle, use motorbike, vehicle, boat, train and plane. The plane (air-travel) is the fastest of all modes of transportation.

From today, what take others 5 years, may you get in five days in Jesus name. Enjoy the speed of the Lord in everything your hands touch in Jesus name.

1. GRACE VALIDATES YOUR CALL WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING

In Acts 19:11-12;God anointed Apostle Paul a former murderer with POWER to perform never seen before and strange MIRACLES. The dead came back to life, evil spirits were expelled, diverse diseases were instantly healed, when handkerchiefs and aprons that had mere touched his SKIN, were placed on them. Grace is better than labor. We must realize that the one who anoints is God. From today, I break permanently the spirit of struggle, hindering your evidence in Jesus name.

In Acts 10:38, How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with POWER; who went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed of the devil; FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM. You need God to see extra ordinary results in your life.  God is all you need. With you and God working together, are enough to shake your business world, ministry, life and career.
