FAITH AND HOPE
May 2, 2022
DIE TO SELF COMPLETELY
May 3, 2022Hope plus faith is equals to miracle. One needs to have hope and faith and they will get their miracle. Hope is bread but faith is a spoken word. Bread is the scriptures, and the spoken word is the Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Then indeed you are guaranteed a miracle.
Every faith must be tested, when faith seems like it’s failing, it’s not failing but it has been tested and was foundnot genuine. People will go around having hope and start confessing “by today am going to get a job” and they expect a job but there is a lack of faith. When hope and faith are together there’s the Will, you will always live in the Will. You can go and become like the prodigal son and demand your inheritance. What you inherit is what the father promised you.
Hope is what you are promised. God promises us good health, life and many things and that is hope. The prodigal son went to the father and said “I want my own inheritance” he wanted his own promises, and he got his promises and he lived out of the Will because it was promises without faith. When the prodigal son received his inheritance, he was out of the Will because the father is not the one that spoke and said that take your inheritance, he is the one who demanded.
There is a time where people stand in church and say “today is the day of your miracle, take it by force”. They are taking their promises by force, and they receive them without the Will and what is without faith it’s not under the Will. You come and tell God “You said you will” you are binding God with His own Word but you don’t check what is the Will of the Father. Faith and hope don’t walk alone. The error that people do is that they fill their hearts with hope and faith, without love. In their hearts there is no love, there must be love. When your heart is governed by love, there is life and where there is life there is hope. Love brings life.
[Romans 5:5]
Hope does not disappoint, not because you saw the fulfillment of what you were hoping for. Hope will never fail because it is birthed by love, our hearts are filled with love. The mistake that many people do is that they fill their hearts and mind with hope and faith yet there is no love then the next thing they become disappointed. But it is not any other love, when God says “you must have love”, it’s not to have love for anything else. God said He loves the world, but He didn’t dwell in everyone. Love doesn’t mean He dwells in you; love doesn’t mean He is with you. For Him to love you He doesn’t have to be with you.
God is not in your heart because you love Him. He says anyone who believes in Him, if you confess with your mouth and believe not when you receive His love. He loves you but your still far from Him. What makes Him to have a relationship with you, is when you believe in Him. What makes us separate from you is that you do not believe in the anointing. The anointing is the one that makes us walk together not love. Love your neighbour from afar do not have any negative energy about them.
You know what hatred is? You hate someone, it consumes you even when they are not with you, by separating with you doesn’t mean we hate you. We separate because you are there and we are here. We are saying light cannot walk with darkness. Love must reign in your heart. When love reigns in your heart it produces hope and faith. Many their hearts are filled with hope and faith without love then the next minutes when things do not happen, they become disappointed.
What is the source of your confession, why do you say you are going to have a job, you are going to be healed? Is it only because of the scriptures? Because God says man shall not live on bread alone. Don’t live on hope alone. Hope is the scriptures, is the promises of God. Do not live only on hope and promises but wait for God to speak. You can bring your petition, but a petition is not a done deal, God said He surely answers. ‘No’ is still an answer as much as ‘yes’ is an answer. God said His promises are yes and amen meaning they will happen it doesn’t mean eventually when you call the promise of God, they will happen to you now. Time is very important, it is the fixed date of the Father.
Those who expect that things to just manifest without the fixed date of the Father are still babies. We must stop sucking on a breast that bring out milk only and start eating solid food and become Christians that are strong who know that there is more than what we want in a relationship. But what is there in a relationship? There is love and there is intimacy. Any relationship you enter and it’s all about self, love doesn’t reign there. The duty of a husband is to please the wife and the duty of a wife is to please the husband.
You will experience love when you do what you are supposed to be doing. If most of you were God, you were going to wait for people to believe you, to send the son. God sent His Son without knowing whether you will believe or not. You need to have faith in what you are giving out that it has the power to change the next person. When God says your hearts must have love it is not the love of loving other people. Love God with all your heart, soul and spirit, let the focus be on God. There can only be true love when a person loves Christ but when a person loves a person there can never be love.
(Ecclesiastes 9: 1-3)
In every man’s heart there is hatred not love, but where there is Spirit of the Lord, there is love. Love doesn’t dwell where there is man but love dwells where there is the Spirit. They say “opposite attracts” I say that’s a lie. We don’t have to be opposite to love each other or to get married but we have to be the same, we have to be the Word. We have to be the Christ to be married. When you are in Christ you know that there are times you will get a “No” or a “Yes” as an answer and thank God in both answers. God knows what is best for us. When the bible says “all things worketh together for good for those who trust in the Lord or who loves the Lord” it doesn’t mean all answers will be yes it means when the answer is No all things are working for good still.
When things do not go your way, it doesn’t mean you are less anointed or God has not heard your prayers. It is your way not His Will. You should be worried when His Will is not fulfilled in your life not when you don’t get what you want. The way you worry when you have prayed for something and you don’t get it, is the way you should worry when the Will of God is not visible in your life. People want to manipulate their way all over. God is not a gadget that you should press, and things happen God is not like that, and people go to church for that. You need to have faith, but faith must come from hearing the Word of God.
One event can happen to all who are good and who are evil. Being born again doesn’t make you immune to some events. We are not headless chickens that when you get fired from your job you think someone has bewitched you. It is not always the case that when you lose your job you are cursed. We are not the good or the evil, but we are the righteousness of God. We stay under the sun, our spirit is caught up in third heaven. We are sitted at the right hand of the Father but where are we walking? We are walking on earth and this flesh will experience what is happening here on earth but while it’s experiencing it we are safe because our mind is in heaven. Set your mind on the things above not where the flesh is walking.
We are walking on earth, but your mind is in heaven. We know that all things that are happening on earth, we can also experience them. When we don’t go through things, it is because God didn’t want us to go through them at that time and it’s a miracle. God said “let your mind be in the Spirit while you are walking on earth” and whatever is walking on earth it’s under the sun. Whatever happens under the sun buffets your body, yet your mind is absent and you cannot feel what is happening. God wants us to be out of our minds and be in Christ. When we are in Christ things happen, we are not affected because we are looking at the Word. Look at the Word not what harms the body.
To him who is joined to Christ there is hope, where there is life there is hope and there is life because there is love. We need to have love in us. One event happens to all, but our hearts need not to be filled with evil because we are not sons of men but of God that’s John 1 “we do not owe any right to the flesh and blood because we are born of God” to those who believe in God they are born of Him. He is God of the living not of the dead. Since we are the living, hope reigns in our hearts. When hope reigns in your heart the promises of God are already yes and amen in your heart. All you are waiting for is the fixed date of the Father.
[1 Corinthians 13:1- 13]
How many of you had faith for something because you are tired of suffering? You said you had faith, what was the source? Doesn’t love suffer long? To say “I am tired of not working, I need to work, I believe am going to work” doesn’t mean you have faith. Because faith comes from hearing the Word of God not hearing how tired you are. How many of you had faith for something because you saw it from someone, and you envied it? God said to me “you have a beautiful marriage, but your marriage could be producing evil more than anything” He said “there are many people who envy you.”
People need to be careful, there is a thin line between being motivated and envy. There are people who want to be like Jesus because of envy, not because they want the Word but they want to be powerful as He is.
There are many things that you had faith for to show people that you are well “I must have this car so that people may know that God is a living God.” Some of you the things that you have faith for, are only for you no one else. You want to be the only one who drives that car, and you say it’s for the glory of God. You want to parade yourself it’s not for the glory of God.
Most are not thinking of the Kingdom you are thinking of yourself.
You are making it impossible. We say it’s possible to be highly educated, employed and be in higher positions and still serve God but you just started being a receptionist already you are unable to serve God. Can people see the glory of God in what you are doing? When you have a relationship with God, nothing stops you from doing the work of God. Love does not parade itself. When you get what you have been praying for, it will be tested. You have been praying for a house, it will be tested whether it was for you or for the glory of God. Do not vow with tomorrow as a Christian live with what you have now don’t go and say “I will worship God tomorrow.” If you have a burning sensation that you want to give all to God do not postpone it and say when you get a job, you will take out your first fruit, do it now.
Are you going to happy when someone in Christ receives what you have been praying for? What if your blessings will fall to your neighbour, would you be happy? Love is not self-seeking. When it says love does not think of evil, don’t think evil of others. Every time when you see someone, see the good in them. Take what is good and leave what is bad that’s the key to survive in this world. There is time where you will exercise faith and your faith seems like it’s not answered. God has prepared us for those prayers we deem or think they are not answered.
How many people left churches because they were prophesied, and it never got fulfilled? Every time when something goes wrong, we want to point at someone. Who takes responsibility? Ask “Lord what are you teaching me?” There will be genuine prophecies yet they will cease because love is ministering. There are times where we thought when you speak a prophecy it must get fulfilled no matter what and we thought that’s maturity we did not understand love. Love is the Will. When you live in love you operate in the Will.
We thought that love is a force that opens miracles. Miracles will happen because you’re in the Will. Love doesn’t keep any record of wrong. What kind of love do you have that has kept record of wrongs. We confess promises or hope because all of them are fulfilled in the body of Christ. Promises must be fulfilled in the body of Christ not in you alone individually. We have the temple, and we have the body this body is not just a body but the body of Christ. The temple is you and the body is us.
Individually you are the temple but together we are the body. Not all promises will be fulfilled in a temple, but promises will be fulfilled in the body. Thinking that all promises are for the temple is knowing in part because you think everything is the Will. All things are possible not to happen in your life but to happen in the body of Christ. You must know what is yours and know what is not yours; you must know the heart of God about you.
Marriage is not for everyone. Marriage is for those who are caused to sleep so not all of you are going to sleep. When Adam was first placed in the garden, he was placed up not sleeping. To many Adams who are already up they have never slept because there is no rib that is supposed to be taken out and there is nothing wrong about that.
Christians have to stop kicking the rock, the wall, and stones because we know the Will of God. When the bible says doors will be open for you is because you’re knocking on your door not on somebody’s door. So, when it doesn’t open it doesn’t mean Matthew 7:7 is not true. What did you ask? The bible says, “pray at all times in Spirit” whatever you do must be inspired by the Spirit not your needs, preferences, what you like or love but by the Spirit. Let us stop being led by our selfish desires and be led by the Word of God that speaks in us. God can speak let’s not speak for God.
(Verse 11-13) You will put away childish things when now you are matured, you will move with what is of the Will only. When you see in the mirror dimly you, you don’t know what is the Will. When you are matured you are no longer a baby, but you are of the Spirit. You and the Father are one, you are looking the Father face to face. So, your heart is full of love. Today when you close your eyes and sleep what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it the things you want to achieve, how desperate are you for a job, to get married, to get your business successful? Or do you see the Father and His Word manifested in you, is His Word rooted in you? Is His face clear next to you or are you looking at other things? Our faith needs to be derived or the source must be what we have heard from God because our hearts are filled with love and won’t be disappointments.
Most of you no longer believe because you had your own earthy faith and hope and they failed and disappointed you and now you don’t believe any more in what God is doing. You come to church, you are just a Christian empty without faith, hope and love. When faith seems like it’s failing you must fall to hope, when hope seems to be failing love must always be there. Love is not number three because it’s higher but it’s the foundation. Upon love we put hope, upon hope we put faith.
Love endures and bears all things, it never envies, it never boasts, it never parades itself. When people have never met this love that is from God, they can’t be the love that God is they become what they have experienced. When you have experienced too much competition you become competitive. When you have experienced too much thrive you thrive always.
You need to open your hearts and receive the love of God so that you can be the love that God is and that’s what we need. When you love God with the love that He loves you with then nothing can take you away from Him. It doesn’t matter the test of time or trails. When you move in love it’s not what you expect but what you give out.
[Ephesians 1:18]
When God says “let your eyes of your heart be enlighten so that you may know the whole the hope” it means there is no one hope there are many hopes. There is hope which you are called to. Open your eyes but what must you see? See the love that overwhelms your hearts. This hope that doesn’t fail is the one that when your eyes are opened you are able to see. You know the hope you have been called for because your eyes are open.
