By: Apostle S. Hama
Genesis 12:1-2
Faith can only be better explained by a person who walks
in it
Faith is explained better with testimonies
it is better mounted upon you when you receive THE ANOINTING of faith
1 Cor 12: 9. Talks about faith as a Spiritual gift. We have to pursue
the gift of faith.
Rom 10: Apostle Paul states faith as believing which signifies that we
have different kinds of faith
Three kinds of faith.
Faith unto salvation: this kind of faith comes when you confess the
Lordship of Christ with your mouth.
Faith as a gift: This comes when you confess that you now have faith in
your soul and your heart testifies.
Faith which is established in you as an anointing; the risk taker
anointing –faith in action
In Gen 12, God told Abraham not to just believe in the word but to also
put action in what he believed. “Today, I am going to summon you to
leave that life of begging and you have to put action to your faith.”
True faith before God is that faith of a risk taker and you realize the
life of realities. Remember faith without works is dead. I would like
to believe that as Abraham was going to the Promised Land he was faced
with many obstacles. But because of the faith he had, even though he had
not seen Canaan in the physical, his spirit was carrying Canaan. He did
not give up but pursued Canaan because it was a promise from God.
Move out of the faith of just believing because it is not enough. It is
time to take risks, wholly leaning on the promises of God. Otherwise
without the faith of a risk taker one might find themselves returning
their status quo (the condition of your former life).
What are you going to say after this service? Whatever
you are going to say is what will come to pass. With every sermon, God
has some candidates He will be looking for, those who will be
aggressively seeking Him and He will provide whatever they need because
He says in His word that He will never leave us nor forsake us. When
you begin to walk in the gift of faith, God will prepare a way for you,
and you will receive that which you really want.
When Abraham walked to the Promised Land, he was risking his life. If
you are a business man and not prepared to take risks you will amount to
nothing. Moses began to make a lot of excuses which later resulted in
him seeing the Promised land from but failed to enter it. Today, I
speak like Joshua who said, ‘as for me and my house, we shall serve the
Lord our God for the rest our lives.”
Are you willing to become a risk taker, a risk taker in your giving, in
your fasting and in your prayer life? When you become a risk taker for
God then you will know that the impossible will happen in your life.
Risk takers are those who declare that the Lord has done it already and
begin to act as if they have already received. In this spiritual walk,
if you avoid being a risk taker, loosing things that will benefit the
flesh, then you will not achieve anything. Some men and women go to an
extent of risking their marriages for God and god will work it out in
the end. Don’t get used to common things but aspire to go for the
extreme; be determined. Risk takers are people who are full of
DETERMINATION.
Abraham didn’t ask questions when God commanded him to leave his
homeland and sojourn to Canaan. He just obeyed. Whatever God tells you
to do just do it without to many excuse and questions. Today, may you
receive the anointing to have great Faith.
Risk takers:
Are full of the aggression of the Lord.
Will never display fear
Are aggressive prayer people
Imitate Jesus Christ who was a risk taker
DECLARATIONS:
I am no longer beneath but above
I am no longer for the mediocre but for great and mighty things
From today onwards, I shall attain great and mighty things
PRAYER THOUGHT
Pray for the quality of the anointing you want.
