Pastor Cheri
Happy New month?
Praise God!
Welcome to the month of Joy. It’s our month of celebration! Glory to God!
Ensure you celebrate this month, enjoy yourself! Hallelujah! That is the kind of life we have been called into.
I believe you have been winning and winning gloriously.
We will continue from where we stopped on wednesday.
Faith when it is real, never fails.
Faith always works!
Turn your Bibles to Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
It says "...and NOTHING shall be impossible unto you..." ⁿ
Real Faith always works. It produces the expected and desired results as you apply it based on the Word.
Get to the Word, bulid your faith strong and put it to work. The more you feed on God’s Word, the more your faith increases.
Get Pastor's books and tapes if you are yet to get them. Take a daily dose of the Word. This goes along with your bible study which should have already been guided by our daily devotional Rhapsody of Realities. When you are through, you'll be built up like a giant, a spiritual giant. Praise God!
The kind of food you eat determines how well you'll grow. When you are poorly fed, you'ld grow up malnourished. When you are well fed, you'll grow properly looking robust.
In the same way, your spirit man would be malnourished when it is not properly fed. You have to feed it well and feed it with the right food, which is God’s Word not on home movies, dirty magazines.... These things don't help you grow spiritually. You find out you have been in Church a very long time and others who just came in are occupying leadership positions and you have been there long before they came into Church. This is not good and doesn’t represent you well as a child of God who ought to be moving from glory to glory.
Proverbs 4:18 says,
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
You ought do a check on you to see where your level is now. I didn’t say you should go into competition with other believers, no, don't do that. Your competition shouldn't be with other believers, it should be with your past. Outdo your past, and then set your gaze on the future.
If you checked and you think your past is not okay, have no regrets about it have no regrets about the past, set your gaze on the future. You may not change yesterday, but you have today and you can do something about tomorrow.
Colossians 3:16 says,
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
When you are richly saturated with the Word every other area of your life would be balanced. You'll be rich in your finances, you ll be rich in your job in your health, in your academics, your marriage... Praise God! This is called all-round prosperity, nothing missing, nothing broken. Complete balancing on every side. This is what the Word of God can do for you. In it lies all that you need for a healthy Christian life.
There is no helter-skelter with the Word. The Word of God will remove every darkness from your life. Hallelujah! It will make straight your paths and cause you to move from glory to glory.
Also the Word of God will make you rich in faith. Your faith grows and you are able to do big things.
You cannot live without faith as a child of God. This is how your salvation came about in the first place. You believed then confessed and then got saved. Moreover, without faith, you cannot please God.
Hebrews 11:6 says,
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Without faith you are not a Christian. Praise God!
When you got born again God gave you faith, but you had to grow it so you can use it for the things you want to get done.
The Bible says in Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than He ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Every child of God has been given faith.
Faith is given to you small, but it's your responsibility to grow it. Praise God!
You have to grow it. This is because it will not be enough for everything. Hallelujah!
The life of faith is not about yesterday or tomorrow; it's about today! Faith works now (Hebrews 11:1). Real faith works now!
With real faith you have everyday made.
No blue day. Everyday is full of joy.
When you wake up everyday, you wake up with a shout of victory knowing you already have the day made. How? This is because you have faith, real faith. Glory to God!
You go ahead with that day, declaring faith-filled words into the day.
"My joy knows no bounds today. I go forth as a winner, a victor and a champion. Today, I celebrate unending victories. The Holy Ghost and I are an unbeatable team, hence I go forth with the ability of the Spirit. Hallelujah!"
As you declare such faith-filled words, there is no telling of how much results your faith would produce for you.
Wake up everyday like a champion and a victor that you are because your faith is alive. Praise God!
I John 5:4 - For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Your faith is the victory. With faith, you are an overcomer.
Stir up faith in your Spirit as you get to the Word and meditate on it consistently. The power of is God released to cause a desired change as you put your faith to Work. Hallelujah!
With real faith, every desired change is a walkover. Glory to God!
Lift up those hands and worship God. Speak in other tongues.
