Faith is a possessor


  Now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1).
  The gospel of our Lord Jesus is a message of faith. The reason some people have problem with their faith is that they don’t know what faith really is. Contrary to what some people think, faith isn’t difficult to understand. The fundamental attribute of faith is that it is a possessor. Faith is a possessor. It is not trying to get God to do something. Faith doesn’t ask why it didn’t get the answer to a prayer for faith always gets answers to prayer. Someone once said, “I know that I have faith, but I don’t understand why I haven’t been healed.” That’s not faith. Faith will never say, “I don’t understand why I’m not healed,” for faith would have taken possession of its healing!

  As long as you’re still saying, “I don’t know why…,” it means you’re still struggling with your believing. Faith, on the contrary, is a possessor. Faith doesn’t say, “I’m waiting for the manifestation of what I prayed about.” No! Faith lives in it. It has taken possession of whatever it desires. This is why the Bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of the unseen. In other word, it’s evidence of that which isn’t real to the physical senses.
  God told Abraham he had made him the father of many nations even though it wasn’t possible for him to have any child. Abraham, on his part, caught the picture and began to answer to his new name. In other words, he took possession of his unborn generations by faith.
  As long as you’re hoping for the manifestation, you’re not in the faith arena. Therefore, take possession of whatever you desire by faith, for all things are yours by faith. Never forget this.

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
