Without faith it is impossible to please God Heb 11:6. But with faith, you will please God. You have wondered what you need to do to please God, well here is the answer. Your pleasing God is the reason you were created. You want to no why you are created, this is it Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. When you begin to walk by faith, you begin to bring pleasure and delight to God. This is fulfilling your purpose in life and this is the reason why you were made by God. Do you know what you can do not to please God, or what to do not to fulfill your purpose in life? Heb10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. God expect you to live by faith every second and every minutes of the day. You stop to please or bring Him pleasure when you are not living by faith. By so doing, you are not fulfilling your purpose in life.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Mat 6:30. When there is little faith, that means there can be great faith. Many people have asked and wondered what they need do to have great faith. As much as they sincerely desire to have great faith, yet they shy away from messages on faith. They read many good books on different topics, but none on faith. Most believers have read the great chapter on faith “Hebrew 11” many times and believe they know all there is to know about faith. Little wonder when you go to a bookshop for books or compact disc, after going through the shelf you never bother to pick subjects on faith, rather you select titles like “The throne of God, The Names of God etc. Whatever knowledge you get from any of those books and not applied in faith will not produce much result, and this is because faith is the foundation of all knowledge. Without faith you cannot please God, He that comes to Him must believe that He is (exist) and He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (Heb10:.

I thank God I have learnt so much about faith and still learning. In the course of my studies some few years ago and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I got to learn that there are two categories of faith, the Faith within (everyday faith), and the faith upon (unusual faith). Faith upon is faith that is outside of one self, and it is beside the individuals own knowledge or understanding. 1Co 12:9 and to another faith by the same Spirit; and to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit. Faith within is faith that is personal to oneself and its growth and strength is depended on an individuals self will. Rom 12:3b but set your mind to be right-minded, even as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. Faith within is faith that is personal to oneself and its growth and strength is depended on an individuals self will. Rom 12:3b but set your mind to be right-minded, even as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Having great faith is built upon multiple of used or applied common faith. What then is common faith? Common faith can be defined as the everyday, often or usual faith applied by individuals in their everyday life situations. They are sometimes faith regarded as of minor importance. To have great faith, you have to learn to build on common faith applied in situations that results in so called little victories. If you don’t have faith to heal headaches, it will be impossible for you to have faith to heal HIV/AIDs. The problem with so many Christians is that they don’t know how to build; rather they burn their bridges and never relate to it again. Imagine someone spending time to build a ladder, and upon completion, used the ladder to climb a wall. When he got to the top, he decides to push the ladder away because he assumed there won’t be need for it again, only to find out that there are still more levels he need to climb but has to make another one? No faith is too small. The little faith of today will become great faith tomorrow if exercised. You exercise your faith just as you exercise your physical body. An unused power or faith will dissipate. This is the reason we are told “The just shall live by faith” Heb 10:38.

Faith vs. Reasoning

The greatest enemy to faith is reasoning. As faith is to the heart, so is reasoning to the head. While faith rest on the word of God, reasoning rests on the senses. Jesus Christ is our head, we are the body. The center of the body is the heart, which is where God dwells and where he communicates with us. When you submit to the Lordship of Jesus, He being the head, you have no business trying to be the head again (there can be no two master), but rather you listen to your heart and act upon it. On the contrary, reasoning listens to the dictate of the world system whose head is the devil (god of this world). A typical example is peter walking on the water. The Word beckon him “come”, His heart responded by acting but reasoning set in by considering the wind and the waves. Same way, many believers receive directions from God but begin to consider what people will say about it, or how it can be done. Who is the Head? Jesus or the devil? The creator of the universe, or the temporal thief of it?

Is reasoning utterly useless? No. The scripture says see more http://rhemaworldintl.org/?p=203

Do you have challenges or problems that refuse to bulge after ceaseless prayers? The Lord instructed me to teach on this rather than what I had in mind and this is simply because he had you in mind. So therefore, don’t take these divine insights lightly. It is my responsibility to receive from God for you and it is yours to receive and apply it. Some of the principles written here are what you are familiar with; my purpose therefore is to teach you the secrets behind it and how to use it effectively.
The Love and the Mercy of God
God loves you and he is committed to your joy and success. You have to settle this in your heart before you can begin seeking for breakthrough. Listen to this carefully; God doesn’t love you because of what you have done or what you have not done. His love for you is eternal and knows no bound. So don’t allow your failures of the past to hold you bound. Your future is very bright. Let me share one of my experiences in this regard with you briefly. On the 25th of July 2011, I had what is called out of body experience. While sleeping on the couch, a force pulled me out of my body to the ceiling and as I was ascending up, I looked down to see my body lying motionless. I got through to the roof and out to the sky. As I got out, I met Jesus waiting for me. He took me to a building I could not have remembered but for His presence. As we stop at a building, I was able to see through the roof into a classroom where kids were playing. There, I saw me alone at my desk in my school uniform. A student whose name I could also recall because of Him, came to my desk to make jest of me, mimicking my stammering disability knowing I can’t say anything. What will a bad stammer like me say? As I watch everything unfold like a movie, He said to me,” Even when you were that little, I loved you” Then he took me back into my body. I could not help but cry. His presence alone will make you cry, but my tears were because of His love for me. What have I done at that age of five or six to earn His love? Nothing. So therefore, don’t trust in what you can do or what you have not done, rather trust in His love for you. His love for you should be your motivating force to tapping from the supernatural and open doors.
Here are spiritual tool proven to force open closed doors in the supernatural and manifesting in the natural. One or combination of any as inspired by God should suffice. Faith is the currency for exchange in the spirit world. These are faith catalyst.

Prayer: Jam 4:3 you ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it upon your lusts.
Most people are not ready for a change in their situation as much as they talk about it. Little wonder they spend five minutes praying and run off to work or they depend on others to pray for them. Prayer also is work and you have to labor.

Rom 8:26 And likewise the Spirit also joins in to help our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes on our behalf with groanings that cannot be uttered.

The best form of prayer is praying in the Holy Ghost because the Spirit will help you pray according to Gods will and this will open your mind to the will of God concerning the issue, guaranteeing your praying right and not amiss. I have gotten great victories and revelations through this channel and I believe same for you.

Fasting:

I strongly believe that many of us know the value of fasting, but only few truly make use of this tool to get result. I want you to know that fasting doesn’t move the hand of God; rather it moves you into a position to receive. God opened my eyes to some truths many years ago from the book of see more http://rhemaworldintl.org/?p=205

What is God’s plan and purpose for my life? Who should I get married to? Which business should I invest in? How can I make a difference in my generation? My dreams, my goals, can I ever achieve it?
Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision, for near is the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14).
A lot of us have found ourselves in this predicament wondering what to do at some point in time, while some people have been in the valley of decisions for months and years without an answer. Can we say then that Gods era of talking or guiding people have passed with the apostles or He only talk to prophets as some people are led to believe?

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Rom 8:14). Do you know that Gods pattern of leading us has changed from that of Old Testament where only the king, prophet and priests have the privileged of hearing from Him directly? Now, every believer can know His will by hearing from Him or being led by him. Many people seek God to lead them by putting a fleece up to Him and have been bitten at the end. Don’t depend on God to lead you by fleece; this is because he has given us His Spirit. The only person recorded in the bible that God lead by fleece was Gideon (Judges 6:11-40). Now we have a better covenant built on better promises, so we shouldn’t depend on that. Putting up a fleece is dangerous because it is dwelling in the realm where the devil can manipulate, the sense world. The devil is the god of this World, so he can deceive with fleece.

Everywhere we go in life, we keep hearing the word: Tragedy. Its either we see it or we hear it. That is why most of the time I find myself travelling anywhere, I say a short prayer which is mostly built around these words “As I travel today, I see no evil, and I hear no evil in Jesus name”. I want to make a profound statement today which will shock some of you, and it’s this: As long as we are in this present world, there will always be tragedy. Every man, woman, girl, boy or family is prone to tragedy, whether they believe it or not. Someone will say: Why will someone that calls himself a man of God make such statement. Well, I wonder why even Jesus Christ of Nazareth will make a similar statement in His prayer to His father for His disciples in John 17:15, 16


“I do not pray for You to take them out of the world, but for You to keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Do you know why this world cannot be rid of Tragedy? It’s simple; it is because the devil is the god of this world

(2Co 4:4) in whom the god of this world (age) has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them.

Did God plan it to be so? No. When God created this world, He leased it to man to have dominion. But man gave the authority to rule this world to Satan. Since then, the devil has been the one controlling the world system. Little wonder when he came to Jesus to tempt him:

(Mat 4:8-10) Again, the Devil took Him up into a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, All these things I will give you if you will fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan! For it is written, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.”

Did you notice that Jesus did not say to him: Go, Satan! This world is not you own, but my father in heavens. Why is that? This is because, of a truth, it has being given to the devil by man.

I remember going to preach to a dear brother who has been to different churches in pursuit of understanding the bible. I don’t know who confused him or if he confused himself along the line. He made a funny statement; he said both the devil and God are working together. That the devil is an agent working for God, both aiming to achieve the same goal. Do you know that this statement is from the pit of hell? This statement is fabricated by the devil to deceive many of Gods children. Do you know that if this statement is true, then there is no need to resist the devil? This is because, if he is working with or for God, then everything he does will be the will of God. Why should James tell you to resist him (James 4:7). I think the scripture should say accommodate the devil or accept the devil because he is working with God. Or better still, Jesus in Matt 13:39 would not have called the enemy, Satan. As John Osteen rightly said, “The bible is so simple that you will need someone else to confuse you”. I also began to wonder, if this statement is actually true, why then did God send Jesus Christ to the earth? Also Jesus shouldn’t have made this statement in this passage;

Luke 11:14-18 And He was casting out a demon and it was dumb. And it happened as the demon was going out, the dumb one spoke. And the people marveled. But some of them said, “He casts out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons”. And others, tempting Him, sought a sign from Heaven from him. But knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

Now I want us to begin to look at how we can avoid tragedy. I don’t think I need to explain to you that tragedy is evil.

Knowledge: Do you know that many people believe that evil also come from God? If you are part of those that believe such, then you have to renew your mind today. They believe that God does punish us with sickness, disease and poverty because we sinned against him. If I may ask, Where in the world did God get those evil things he punishes us with from?

Jam 1:17 says Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

If every good gift comes from God, then where does the bad gift come from? You answered right, from the Devil. I heard Charles Capps make a profound statement, he said “So if the bad gift, like the tragedies, sickness and poverty we see now comes from the devil, then God will have to go borrow from the devil to inflict on us. This we know isn’t possible because

1Jhn 1:5 says” And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all”.

The devil has blinded a lot of Gods children to make us believe the troubles we are going through are from God. When you have this mindset, then you cannot resist the devil, because that would mean you are fighting against the plans of God. God himself said in Hos 4:6 “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. They believe that I am the one causing all their troubles and sorrows, no; my plans for you are plans of good and not of evil, to give you a future and to take you to an expected end. If you being wicked and evil know how to give good gift to your children, how much more will I give good gifts to all that ask me? Ask and you shall receive that your joy may be full. Friends, believe me, we have been called to a life of glory and virtue. Don’t let the devil sell lies to you.


Prov11.9b …but through knowledge the just shall be delivered (from tragedy, destruction and evil. A lot of Gods children are ignorant of the truth, ………You shall know the truth and the truth (that you know and apply shall make you free John 8.32 (Underline mine).

Now, the truth has come to you, believe it, meditate on it, and act on it. The key to knowledge is to study the word of God for you. Ignorance is not a sin, but it will keep you poor, busted and destroyed.

Confession:

1Pe 3:10 For he that wants to love life and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile. Jam 3:6 The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person’s entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself (CEV).

You can relate the tongue to a Spark plug use in engines, without the little spark from a plug; the big and mighty engines cannot function. Your tongue being a little member of your body can make you a success and your tongue can also destroy you. Do you know that your mouth was not given to you to eat alone? (Mat 4:4) But Jesus answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” You want to live a good life? Then start speaking the right word into your life and situation. I have someone close to me who lost his job recently. I have always known he will lose the job someday. It may take some time, even years, but he will lose it. You ask me why? It’s very simple. Since I have known him, he has always talked about his being sacked any moment and how he has no savings, everyone around him don’t like him at work. It took some years, but he was eventually sacked. James said the tongue can set an entire course of life on fire. What does it mean? It means that it sets the course of your future, your pathway to work for you or against you knowingly or unknowingly. You find out that every good door is shut before you get there. The Devil cannot get at you unless he makes you confess what he wants to happen to you. Do you know what works for God? His Word. He does nothing except by His word. And that is how God made us too. To live and rule by words.

(Mat 12:37) For by your words you shall be justified (set free), and by your words you shall be condemned (in bondage).

Being subject to authority:

Every king needs a prophet. This is a divine truth that must be established. All through the scripture there were no king ordained or appointed by God that functions without a prophet, and there was no king that functions in both offices. Every believer is a King and a priest unto God (Rev1:6), but every believer is not a prophet. And not everyone that prophesies is a prophet. Prophesy is a manifestation of the gift of the Spirit for every believer, while being a prophet is an office given to an individual to operate in.

The word prophet in this context is someone whose word you are willing to obey. Your prophet should be anyone operating in the fivefold ministry given by Jesus Christ as in Ephe 4:11. You have to be careful in deciding whose word you are willing to obey. Anyone I make my prophet has been specifically given to me by God, because they are the ones God have given the word to help me get to my destination. I have seen believers lose all they have because of the words of the prophet they choose to obey and some, the words of the prophet they refuse to obey. Your success in life is dependent on the Man of God assigned to you by God. I remember some months ago, after a brief morning prayer, I slept off. I had a dream about two of my members, in which one of them died and the other was seriously injured. When we prayed for them, the dead one came to life, rejoicing and the other one was healed. When I woke up, I began to wonder what God was trying telling me. When I got to our meeting that evening, still feeling pressed, I asked everyone to pray against tragedy. After the meeting, I was approached by some members, including the one that died in my dream. I was told that the both of them planned to visit a cousin, at the very last minute, he changed his mind about going but the other one went. We got to hear later that on getting there, while waiting, an anti-robbery squad came and arrested him. They accused him of being part of a gang which, probably his cousin belongs. But by Gods intervention, he was released some days after. One totally escaped it, but the other one partially escaped it. You will wonder why the difference. Well, I believe it is because one was subjected to authority and received the grace needed in time of need to escape danger but the other one did not because of his rebellious character. You are better by the grace and anointing you partake from a higher authority.

Right praying:

(Mar 11:23) For truly I say to you that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be moved and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said shall occur, he shall have whatever he said.

Do you know that this is a scripture a lot of people have in mind when they want to pray but they still do not get their prayers answered? The reason is simple, many people reverse this scripture. Rather than speak to the mountain about how big their God is, they speak to God about their mountain. I believe you never thought about this. Read it carefully and you will find out why you may not have received answers to your prayers yet. God knows what you are going through and doesn’t need lecture from you describing to him how magnanimous your mountain is. In the course of doing this, a lot of people begin to beg God to help them with the mountain. I have heard someone close to me many times pray like this “Father I beg of thee”. A funny way to pray. God isn’t your problem, the devil is. Moreover, He isn’t saying no to your prayers for you to have to beg Him, His answer is always Yes and Amen (2cor 1.20). If you don’t do anything about the problem, He won’t either.

In this light, I want to bring something to your notice. If God wants you to do something, you have to do it anyhow and not expect him to push you to do it. I heard a story about a woman who had the call to work for God. Rather than doing what God would want her to do, she began to pray that God should take away from her anything that will hinder her from doing what He assigned for her to do, even if its her husband. Couple of months later, her husband was attacked with cancer and died. True, she became closer to God in mourning but that is after sacrificing her husband and becoming a widow. Foolish prayers. God doesn’t need your sacrifice, Jesus is the only sacrifice that is needed and He is more than enough. She could have done much for God without the death of her husband. Did God kill him? No No No No, a thousand times No. She invited the devil into her home with what she calls “A prayer of dedication”, and couldn’t have prayed the prayer of faith to heal the husband because she believed it is God’s will. Faith begins where or when the will of God is known. Her situation isn’t different from that of Job in the bible, which many people have ignorantly misunderstood.

When you pray, only say what you desire and stop mentioning the negative part of a situation. You shall have what you say (even in prayers) Mark 11:23.

Praying in the Spirit:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose Rom8:28.

Many people quote this verse, in doing this; they quote it out of context. They pick a verse of scripture and run around with it without really understanding it holistically. They believe because they are Christians and they love God, this scripture applies to them. It’s not so. If you read the preceding verse, you will understand that it’s talking about praying in the spirit. The literal meaning is that, when you don’t know how to pray as you are supposed to pray, the Holy Spirit Himself will help you to pray the way you are supposed to pray. When this happens (after a note of victory in your spirit), then you will know that all things will work together for your good.

Imagine God himself helping you to pray. How can you not pray the right way and how will things not turn around for your good. Praying in the Spirit is an advantage God has given to us. No wonder Paul the apostle said, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than you all” 1cor 14:18. There are so many instances I have avoid tragedy by speaking in tongues. There are times you are just troubled in your spirit, and you don’t know what is wrong. You are burdened and the feel the need to pray. What do you then pray about in your understanding when you don’t even know what the problem is? This is when you need the help of the Holy Spirit to help you pray the mind and the will of God. How I love to pray and speak in tongues. I can say this is one of the secret to my glorious relationship with God. I remember recently, I was travelling down from another state, I began to feel the urge to pray, and when this happen, I have no other way to pray but to pray in the Spirit. I must have prayed for about 40min, when I saw the bonnet of the car in front of my own bus came out of its hook and hit our windscreen. This would have been a big catastrophe because we were both moving at top speed, being highway. The miracle is this, the bonnet hit our bus windscreen, and the windscreen shattered into pieces but no one was hurt, even though I was sitting in front. This is God, because not even a single glass cut anybody in the bus. Imagine if I hadn’t allowed the Holy Spirit help me to pray right. I can’t count the number of tragedies I have averted by praying in the spirit. Also, many times I have received word from God after praying in the spirit. This blessing cannot be quantified (Gal3.14). If you had prayed in the spirit when nudged to pray, you would have averted tragedies like bad investment, being at the wrong place at the wrong time, losing a family member, job, finances or business transaction etc. Begin to use the gift of heavenly language, and you will find out that, truly, all things will work together for your good.

Ministry of Angels:

God has made you a king (Rev1:6).A new creation born into the kingdom of God. Kings rule in a kingdom and have servants subjected to them. When God made you a king, He gave you an assignment and therefore ministering spirits to aid you in fulfilling it.

(Heb 1:14) Angels are merely spirits sent to serve people who are going to be saved (CEV).

We need to also make a differentiation between servants and slaves. They are servant to serve you but not slaves for you to lord over.

The power of the ministry of Angels should not be underestimated. Their ministry span even before the creation of this world. Their ministry is to you, the new creation, the sons of God. The mistake a lot of people make is they don’t know that they are to engage angels. Because you have servants to serve you do not automatically mean they will start running errands for you without you engaging them. Years ago, God showed me in a vision some of the keys to engage angels. Thank God, I have enjoyed their ministry so much and I am still learning more about it. I will share with you one of the keys to activating the ministry of Angels in your life.

Psa 103:20 says Bless Jehovah, O angels of His, who excel in strength, who do His command, listening to the voice of His Word (CEV).

If you study this verse closely you will observe that it says angels listen to the voice of God’s word. It explains that angels will not bid your word because you command them, but the moment you give voice to the word of God, they are obligated to obey. So, if you want the help of angels, you must continually study the word of God and give voice to what you have meditated on. You fill your heart with His word, and you speak those words out with your own voice. This is giving voice to the word of God.

The scripture above iterate that angels are to minister to those who are to be saved, that is those that are born again. If you are not born again, you cannot enjoy this great salvation (Heb2.3). Make a decision today to receive Jesus as your lord and savior.

Prayer of Salvation: Lord Jesus I thank you for dying on the cross for me. Father, I confess Jesus today as my lord and savior; I believe that he died because of me and was raised from the dead for my justification. Today, I receive eternal life into my spirit and now I am saved. Thank You for saving me.
