DEVELOPING FAITH THAT PLEASES GOD - Rev Elisha, KSF GILGIL. (26-05-2024). ■ YOU CAN NEVER Receive of God without Faith. Romans .14.23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. (NKJV) ■YOU MUST BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE, GREATNESS, WONDERS AND WORD OF GOD AND COUNT ON HIS FAITHFULNESS... Heb.11.6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (NKJV) HIS FAITHFULNESS IS GREATER THAN OUR FAITH. PUT YOUR FAITH IN HIM TO RECEIVE OF HIM. YOU'LL NEBER PLEASE GOD WITHOUT FAITH. ■ 1. FAITH IS NOW. Heb.11.1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (NKJV) ■ 2. A Good report comes by FAITH... Heb.11.2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. (KJV) ■ 3. BE Mature in Understanding FAITH. .. 1Cor.14.20 Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. (NKJV) ■4. BY FAITH YOU INCREASE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD... Col.1.9 - For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Col.1.10 - And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, ■ 5. FAITH IN CHRIST IS THE ANSWER TO ALL THE LIFE CRISIS WE'RE TIRED OF... Mark.2.3 - Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4 - Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. 5 - When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." ... FROM THE SCRIPTURE ABOVE , BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH, THE SOURCE OF THE PARALYSIS WAS SORT, HE WAS FORGIVEN AND HEALED. ■ 6. THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH... YOU DONT JUST HEAR OF IT BUT L IVE BY IT... Hab.2.4 "See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright- but the righteous will live by his faith - (NIV) ... Rom.1.17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." (NIV)..... Gal.3.11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." (NIV) ■7. THE HAPPENINGS/ RESULTS OF FAITH MAKES GOD KNOWN AND BELIEVED. Peter was full of FAITH--->>> Acts.9.33 - There he found a man named Aeneas, a paralytic who had been bedridden for eight years. 34 - "Aeneas," Peter said to him, "Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and take care of your mat." Immediately Aeneas got up. 35 - All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. AS PAUL IS PREACHING, HE OBSERVED INTENTLY A CRIPPLED FROM BIRTH, WHO HAD FAITH FOR HEALING AND LISTENS BY FAITH RECEIVES HIS HEALING AMONG MANY MORE IN THE MEETING...--->>> Acts.14.8 - In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked. Acts.14.9 - He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed Acts.14.10 - Shouted at him, saying, Stand erect on your feet! And he leaped up and walked. Acts.14.11 - When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" ■ 8. HOLD ON TO THE SHIELD OF FAITH THAT HELPS US OVERCOME. Eph.6.16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can EXTINGUISH ALL THE FLAMING ARROWS OF THE EVIL ONE. (NIV) FAITH GUARDS YOU FROM ALL THE ARROWS OF THE EVIL ONE. ■ 9. MAY YOUR FAITH NEVER FAIL... When Peter was to be sifted by the enemy if permitted, Christ didn't cast the devil out but PRAYED THAT PETER'S FAITH WON'T FAIL HIM... --->> Luke.22.31 - "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. 32 - But I have PRAYED FOR YOU, Simon, THAT YOUR FAITH MAY NOT FAIL. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." ■ WHAT'S YOUR DESIRE WHEN COMING IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD??? LET YOUR DESIRES BE IN AGREEMENT TO GOD'S WILL. LET IT NOT BE FOOLISHNESS, FAITH THAT ISN'T IN ALIGNMENT TO GOD'S WORD... Ps.27.4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, TO BEHOLD the beauty of the LORD, And TO INQUIRE in His temple. (NKJV) ■SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD... YOUR DELIGHT AND SATISFACTION WILL COME FROM THE LORD.... Job.22.22 - Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart. 23 - If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent 24 - and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines, 25 - then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you. 26 - Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God. 27 - You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. (Matt.6.33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (NIV)) ■ EVEN IN YOUR SALVATION, THERE'S YOUR DAYS OF TROUBLE, BUT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST WILL DELIVER YOU... Ps.27.5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. (NIV) ... THE LORD ISN'T FIGHTING FOR US BUT HIDING US FROM THEM HARMING US. ... You come out with THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE TO GOD. Ps.27.6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. (NIV)
