TOPIC: THE EXPLOITS OF FAITH

MEMORY VERSE: "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.” – Hebrews 11:6

BIBLE PASSAGE: Hebrews 11:17-25

INTRODUCTION:
Our Lord Jesus Christ specifically promised that miracles are bread for the children of the kingdom (Matthew 15:26). This implies that every child of God should experience miracles daily. The miraculous power of God must be demonstrated in us daily. This cannot be except through faith (Hebrews 11:6).

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Many are living below God’s best for them
2. The exploits of faith are many.

MANY ARE LIVING BELOW GOD’S BEST FOR THEM
A number of believers are living below the best of God’s plan for lack of faith (Jeremiah 29:11). While many are ignorant of God’s free gifts (Hosea 4:6), others are unstable as a result of doubt which denies them the best from God (James 1:6-. Christ demonstrated faith throughout His earthly ministry and expects every believer to meet God’s expectations for one’s life (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is inevitable for every pursuit in a believer’s life (Numbers 13:31-33).

THE EXPLOITS OF FAITH ARE MANY
The exploits of faith cannot be exhausted. When a Christian has God’s kind of faith which calls those things which are not as though they are (Romans 4:17), his blessings are countless. For example, faith gives us access to God’s power because God honours faith always (James 5:15). Faith destroys the works of Satan and commands victory for us over the world (1John 5:4). It also infuses the power of performance into our prayers (Matthew 21:19-21). Only men of faith are profited through the word (Hebrews 4:2). God is moved to action when He sees faith in men in the face of troubles and trials (Matthew 15:22-28; Daniel 3:16-25).

CONCLUSION
The only route to experience exploits from God is faith. You need faith to get the best from God.
