"A Man Waiting for God to Work is Operating a Faith That is Dead"

Highlights Of Pastor David Oyedepo’s Message On Wednesday May 18, 2016

• Faith is designed by God to produce results. Hebrews 1:33ff
• The way to identify faith is to identify the proofs. Real Bible faith is identified by the results produced. 1John 5:4.
• Faith is identified by is particular ability to subdue nature. The law of faith puts all laws of nature under subjection. Mark 5:35ff.
• The force of faith brings results in spite of the opposition or present realities. 

WHAT IS FAITH? YOU CANNOT POSSESS WHAT YOU CAN'T DEFINE

• Faith is not waiting for God to work, but putting God’s Word to work in order to commit His integrity to perform. It is engaging what God has said to commit God’s hand to perform it. 
• A man waiting for God to work is operating a faith that is dead. 1Samuel 2:3
• Faith without action carries no weight before God. 
• The performance of God is activated by the action of man. Luke 5:4
• The faith of the just is a running faith. Every time you find a man running with God’s word, God is running towards that man with testimonies. 
• Labour with what God has said and you will see what God has promised. Hab. 2:4, Hebrews 4:11-12
• Faith is spiritual explosive that destroys the power of the enemy and establishes the dominion of the saints. Ephesians 6:16. 
• Every time the force of faith comes, the fire power of the enemy is put out. 
• Before faith comes, the enemy is shooting (with hand guns), but when faith comes (with the explosives) there's silence. 
• Faith is an all-purpose silencing weapon. 1Peter 5:9
• When faith comes on the scene, the victory is settled. 1John 5:4. 
• Faith is God’s pinnacle of weaponry – the above-all weapon. It is heaven's highest armoury. 

WHAT IS THE FAITH THAT WORKS? WHAT KIND OF FAITH WORKS?

• Revelation-built faith. Romans 10:17. 
• Real bible faith is on the basis of God's Word. 
• If you say, God give me more faith, God is saying, take in more Words. 
• If you want to change your faith, change your revelation.
• Love-driven faith: 1Corith.13:1-2; Galatians 5:6. When your love for God is in place, you become more than a conqueror. 1Chor.2:9ff
