(Fifth part)
Memory verse: (Romans10:8-10) " But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation "
When the word of faith is preached, i.e. the gospel is the word of faith, the word of truth (Eph 1: 13), under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, this word produces faith in the heart of the believer. When faith is born, it must be expressed to produce results, i.e. faith is expressed or released through speaking, and when faith speaks out, results comes that change your situation depending on what area of life the gospel has touched. When we preach about healing through the stripes of Jesus, faith about healing comes and when confession is made, the people begin to be saved and delivered from diseases. When the gospel is preached about God’s plan to prosper us, faith comes about prosperity and when confession is made, people begin to be delivered from continuous lack and prosperity begin to flow into their lives. What you preach to your congregation, as a leader matters very much, because what you teach the church is what you see. It's amazing, Paul went to Galatia and preached the gospel of peace and people believed, people were filled with the Holy Spirit, miracles happened in peoples lives, but after he left, other preachers came and preached another gospel and people were bound again, (Gal3: 1-5)!!!
Twelve spies were sent by Moses in the promised land, ten said they were not able to possess the land but Caleb and Joshua said we are well able to and God said he will give to each party according to the words they said (Num 13: 26-33), (Num 14: 24-28). Faith has a language: Faith language is a language of possibility. Faith sees all things possible because faith does not focus on man‘s ability but God’s ability. Faith speaks just as fear does speak. When men/women are filled with faith, nothing can withhold them from speaking, likewise when people are gripped with fear they also speak. Faith comes from hearing God’s plans and promises for you through the preaching of the gospel. It's time we got filled with the knowledge of God’s will for our lives and begin to walk in faith.
