UNDO DEFAULT SETTINGS BY FAITH

So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.

John 8:36 AMP

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. We have been talking about how we can undo default settings in our lives by faith. God wants us to live the life without limits. He wants us to enjoy everything that this life has to offer if they align according to His will. 

Not all people are enjoying life. I met some women who experience certain diseases or discomfort that their mothers also experienced. If you ask them, they will tell you my mother and my aunts faced the same problem when they were in my age. For them it’s normal because is a thing that runs in the family.  The truth of the matter it is not the will of the Lord to see us suffer; God wants us to enjoy this life that's why He came to save that which was lost.

We have families that have drinking problem, every young men find themselves turning into heavy drinkers when they reach certain age. This drinking problem came to be so severe in such a way it has cost those families many wonderful things, opportunities and relationships. Maybe you one of the member of that family, and you have been asking yourself what cause all of these drinking problem in your family. I believe there is a spirit that is responsible for particular behavior in your family; it’s about time for you to tell it to pack its bags and go back where it came from!

This morning, I want to encourage you to start undoing all default settings in your personal life and family by faith. If there is a certain behavior that you saw in your parents or one of your parent and it has started to manifest itself to you. Then know that it is a not a normal behavior but there is a spirit behind it. There is a demon who has been assigned to control your outcome in life.

Rebuke that demon in the name of Jesus, cut yourself from its connections. Refuse to be the slave of that particular behavior by the blood of Jesus. Break every chain and strings that they may tend to pull you back to your old ways by the blood of Jesus. The hour of deliverance is now, enough is enough! There is no need for you to continue living in bondage while Jesus has redeemed you by His precious Blood. It is the will of the Father for you to be free from diseases, pain, sorrow, sufferings, poverty, and every demonic oppression. Claim your freedom by faith today. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!  

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer withe me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer...

Dear Heavenly Father, I coming before you asking for forgiveness. I’m undoing all default settings that the devil has placed in my life whether willing or unwilling by the Blood of Jesus. Lord I'm yours now, and the devil has no place in me. I'm asking that You may deliver me from all inherited diseases, curses, bad lucks and sufferings in the name of Jesus. Set me free today Lord, In Jesus' Name, Amen.

UNDO DEFAULT SETTINGS BY FAITH

I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness; In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful].

Psalm 51:5 AMP

Default setting in computing is a setting that is automatically given to a software application, computer program or device. Sometimes the word can be used to explain how someone normally behaves and reacts. Yesterday we talked a little bit about default settings; we said there are some people who were meant to fail in some areas of their lives since birth.

These default settings can be seen even in different tribes, nations and continents of the world. As you go further you will understand that there are certain behaviors that are common in a certain tribes. If you see that particular behavior you know that person is from a certain tribe. There are some things that are common from people from some nations, they all act the same way in some areas of life.

TD Jakes once said, “We all set out to make difference in the world, but the first step is to achieve the less lofty goal of changing your own world”. I pray that God may help me to write things that will help you to change your own world. You can't fight with the demons that control your family, tribe, nation or even continent if you can't even defeat your own demons. You need to let the Lord help you to have the total control of your life before you step out and starts helping others take control of their lives.

This morning, I want to encourage you to ask the Lord to undo your default settings in life. Maybe all the marriages eventually fail in your family. Some of you tend to work somewhere for three to four months and then lose your jobs. Maybe you are the first one to finish collage in your family, you struggled a lot and now you can see the members of your family are struggling too! They are some families that people are dying every after few years; and now you are afraid that somewhere along the way it will be your turn.

The Psalmist David says, “I was brought forth in a state of wickedness. In sin my mother conceived me”. It doesn't matter what state you were born in. It doesn't matter what condition you are in right now. It doesn't matter what demons you have been facing in your life; God is about to set you free from everything that have been hindering your progress in life. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, your word says, So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Set me free today; help me to undo all of my default settings that I may live the life without limits. In Jesus' Name, Amen. (John 8:36)

UNDO DEFAULT SETTINGS BY FAITH

I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness; In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful].

Psalm 51:5 AMP

Default setting in computing is a setting that is automatically given to a software application, computer program or device. Sometimes the word can be used to explain how someone normally behaves and reacts. God intended human being to be a certain way; He intended life to be different from what we have right now.

When sin entered in the world it prevented the original plan of God. As the results the devil had an access to control our births, and cause us to live against the will of the Father. Some of us are coming from the families that worshiping idols and gave sacrifices to the demons. We were taken to witch doctors when we were still young and given something for protection. 

Some were introduce in their bodies that they may be protected by evil forces; but in the reality they were given to the demons. Since that day some demons assigned to follow them whenever they go; these demons controlled their lives. They controlled who comes in and out of their lives. They controlled their moods and most of all they controlled their outcomes in life.

This morning, I want you to know that you can change what you have been experiencing in your life by faith in Jesus Christ. There are default settings in every family, that's why there are some things that run in the family. There are some behaviors that are seen in every family. People conclude that this runs in the family but in the reality there are spirits that control that family in that particular direction.

We have people who have worked so hard in their lives. They work extra hours and being faithful in everything, but there is default setting of poverty that if it won't deal with. Those people will remain to be poor for the rest of their lives. There are demons that have assigned to make them poor; they tend to face what so called bad luck in everything they do in life. They don't understand why, but there is something that is beyond them which tend to control everything. I pray that at the end of this default setting subject, we will be able to stand before God and undo them all by the name of Jesus. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!  

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I surrender my life to You. Make it like the way you want it to be. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

FAITH INTO ACTION

For just as the [human] body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works [of obedience] is also dead.

James 2:26 AMP

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. The Bible as the human body without spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead. God wants us to have faith but to put work after we have obeyed Him.

We have many people who pray day and night for better life but they are not willing to go and seek that life. It is easy to ask for the kingdom of God to come down, but not all people are willing to pay the price for that kingdom to come. Many wants to have good marriage and to get married to wonderful husbands and wives; but they are not willing to pay the price to get them.

We have people who want to be prayed for everyday and they seek people to pray for them that they may just sleep. When you believe God for something there is a part that you need to play. If you a student and you believe God to help you succeed in your studies then you need to listen your instructors patiently and make sure you study the materials you have been given.

This morning, I want to encourage you to put faith into actions. If you want to have that promotion in your work place, then you need to be willing to prove to your bosses that you are worth of that promotion. If you come late to work every day, take long lunches, spend the whole day on the Facebook, Instagram, and What's Up and put a less work than required. You will never get that promotion and you will continue blaming the devil for it.

Maybe you have finished Collage and you haven't got a job yet. Don't seat around everyday spending your whole day watching TV or spend it on the Social Medias that I have mentioned above. There are some young people who watch all kind of TV Series out there and they know the names of all Actors. If you have such attitude you will continue blaming the government; but in the reality you are wasting your time on many things that won't profit anything in the future.

If you don't have a job, spend your time developing yourself; and sometimes be willing even to do simple jobs that they may pay less while trusting God for your dream job. If you can't get even those kinds of job, then develop your talents. Study online courses, attend free workshops and seminars; and make sure that you learn something new every day that will help you in your future. Put actions in your faith and you will see God helping you to fulfill your dreams in life. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, help me to put my faith into action. Help me to pursue what I believe knowing that You will help all the way. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:26

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. We have been talking about faith for a while now. I believe up to now you have got two or three things that will you to increase your faith in some areas of your life.

Yesterday we looked the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught us to pray and we are going to look the first few verses of that prayer. He said, “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come, Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Jesus wanted us to pray His kingdom to come, to come on this earth. Many we were taught that we need to live right that we may go to heaven. It is true but before going there; God wanted us to live the kingdom standard on this earth. (Matthew 6:9-13)

There are some Christians who when received this doctrine of going to heaven to the Father. They stopped everything and decided to wait for the second coming of the Lord. They forget that they are still having life to live and responsibility of this earth. Here is where came the rise of generation of Christians who are broke; because they gave up on this life and just waited for another coming life. When they faced hardships, they send all the blames to the devil; but in the reality they didn't want to work and do anything hence they end up being broke. Their hardships have nothing to do with the devil but their laziness.

This morning, I want you to know that faith without works is dead. If you have the faith of calling things that you want to see 10 years down the lane; then you need to start working towards their fulfillment. The reason you didn't die when you gave your life to Jesus, it’s because you have a purpose to fulfill in this life. God wants you to pray for the kingdom of God to come in your area of influence.

God wants your family to be saved; God wants all of your loved ones to know Him. He wants you to influence your co-workers that they may believe the Jesus who you believe. God wants you to work hard and make enough money that you may help the efforts of spreading the Gospel around the world. Don't seat back and blame the devil for everything, use what you have in your disposal to change your life. You were born neither to be broke nor to lack the necessity of life. It is the will of God that you may prosper and faith alone is not enough it has to have works in it. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to put works in my faith that I may be able to fulfill your will over my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

CALL THOSE THINGS BY FAITH

(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

Romans 4:17 NKJV

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Without faith is it impossible to walk with God and please Him, for whoever comes near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He rewards those who earnestly and diligently seek Him.(Hebrews 1:1,6)

We are continuing in this series of Faith; I believe God is doing something in your life. I want to believe God that He will plant the seed of faith in your heart through this series. Faith is the key that will enable you to open any doors before you. It is amazing that also is something that enables the connection between a mere man and Omnipotent God. If you have faith, you will be able to please God; because who before he must believe God exists and He is the rewarder of those who seek Him.

Yesterday we saw how God can give life to the dead things and situation in our lives through our faith. Today we will see how our faith can help us to call things which do not exist as though they did; and how faith can create new things out of nothing. There are things that we desire to have in our present, and those things we desire to have in our future. There are things that we desire in our children future and things that we want to see in our nations futures. As much as there is a significant amount of work needed to make it happen; but we need faith to help us to have assurance of those things and evidence that we have those things before we are even there. 

This morning, I want you to know that faith has the power to call the things that do not exist as though they did. Jesus teaches us to say these words in the Lord Prayers, "Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven." Here the Lord taught us to pray for the unseen kingdom of God to come on this seen earth. In other words the Lord wanted His people not to wait to go to Him; but first pray for His kingdom to come where they are. This means they should pray that God may help them live in the standard of His kingdom. (Matthew 6:9-13)

In the kingdom of God there is no poverty, diseases, war, famine, curses, spells, with-crafts, financial hardships, broken relationships, miscarriages, and everything that cause sorrow in the heart of a man. So if you want to call those good things you see in your spirit for your family and personal life. You need to call them by faith that you have in the Son of God. Your faith in God will create new things from nothing just for you, if you believe. We shall continue in this subject calling the things that do not exist as though they did by faith tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I call all those things that I desire to see in my personal life, family, and my children with their children’s children and my nation as whole. I create prosperity for us all in the name of Jesus. I refuse to continue being the victim of poverty, and I believe You God for more in this life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

CLAIM LIFE FOR DEAD THINGS BY FAITH

(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

Romans 4:17 NKJV

I have met people who started things that didn't last. There are good Christians who started businesses in some areas, after they faced oppositions and loss they decided to give up. God gave them good ideas; but the enemy was working on the clock to make sure that none of their ideas get to be established.

It is easy to say that business was not the plan of God; but in the reality it was the enemy who made sure you don't succeed. There are some people who started the same kind of business with even low capital and narrow knowledge of the business who ended up succeeding. The trick part is that these people are not even Christians; but they have a certain influence that you a child of God don't seem to have.

The Bible teaches us about God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. He is the God who can raise any situation from the dead, and cause it to exist before your eyes. He is the God who can rebuke the enemy who has caused loss in your business, rejection in your family, obstacles in your ministry and conflicts in your work place. He is a God who can make you dream again and be excited about the future.

This morning, ask God to give life to the things that are dead in your life. You need to have faith that this time around things won't be the same as before. If you feel God calling you in a certain field of life, or He telling you to go back to school that maybe you failed before. Then do it by faith, know that He will enable you to achieve all the things that seemed to be impossible before.

Speak life to your broken relationship that you think you still need in your life. Speak life to your business ideas that proved failure in the first place if you still believe in them. Speak life to your financial situation that is in a shambles and full of debts. Speak life to your body that has been attacked by diseases, your soul that is in pain and heart that has lost hope. Speak all of these things by faith, and God will reward your faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.  We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I'm asking You to give life to all dead situations in my life. Rebuke the enemy out of my life and bring new hope in me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

SLAYING THE GIANTS BY FAITH

Saul replied, “You aren’t able to go out there and fight that Philistine. You are too young. He’s been a warrior ever since he was a boy.”

But David said to Saul, “I’ve been taking care of my father’s sheep. Sometimes a lion or a bear would come and carry off a sheep from the flock. Then I would go after it and hit it. I would save the sheep it was carrying in its mouth. If it turned around to attack me, I would grab its hair. I would strike it down and kill it. In fact, I’ve killed both a lion and a bear. I’ll do the same thing to this Philistine. He isn’t even circumcised. He has dared the armies of the living God to fight him. The Lord saved me from the paw of the lion. He saved me from the paw of the bear. And he’ll save me from the powerful hand of this Philistine too.”

1 Samuel 17:33-37 NIRV

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen; for by this faith the men of the old gained approval. Yesterday I encouraged you to activate the giant slayer inside of you; and I told you that you God have chosen you in the time such as this. God wants to use you to put an end to all the things that have been causing sorrow and pain in your family.

David put an end of Goliath threats and intimation over the children of Israel. We see when Saul asked how he would be able to fight with Goliath, David answered him these words. “Sometimes a lion or a bear would come and carry off a sheep from the flock. Then he would go after it and hit it. He would save the sheep it was carrying in its mouth. If the lion turned around to attack him, I would grab its hair. I would strike it down and kill it”. God allowed David to experience all these things that he may prepare him to the assignment that was ahead of him.

God will use all what you have been experiencing in your walk with him to hit that giant, take your family from the mouth of that giant and if it will come turned around to attack you. You will strike it down and kill it. God wants to you to put an end to that crazy circle of diseases, death, sorrow and pain in your family. He wants you to use the blood of Jesus to stop and break that family curse.

This morning, I want to encourage you to start slaying every giant in your family by faith. Don't allow the devil to continue holding your family captive and enslave the members of your family. You need to do something about, that's why God has chosen you in the time such as this. He has filled you with His power and covers you in His blood. He has been preparing all this time that you may deliver your family from the mouth of the devil.

You need to break the stronghold of sin by faith. Wrestle with every demons that cause sickness and diseases in your family by the blood of Jesus. Break every generational curse by the blood of Jesus. Don't underestimate yourself; there is power inside of you that can change the known fate of your family. God is about doing something wonderful through you, and He is going to use you in an extra-ordinary way if you will have faith in Him. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!  

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to have the faith that is needed to slay all the giants in my family. Give me strength to fight until I have killed all the giants and set my family free. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

FACING THE GIANTS BY FAITH

David said to Goliath, “You are coming to fight against me with a sword, a spear and a javelin. But I’m coming against you in the name of the Lord who rules over all. He is the God of the armies of Israel. He’s the one you have dared to fight against. This day the Lord will give me the victory over you. I’ll strike you down. I’ll cut your head off. This day I’ll feed the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds and wild animals. Then the whole world will know there is a God in Israel.The Lord doesn’t rescue people by using a sword or a spear. And everyone here will know it. The battle belongs to the Lord. He will hand all of you over to us.”

1 Samuel 17:45-47 NIRV

In life we have spiritual giants that hinder us to proceed in life. These giants some are inherited from our forefathers. These giants can be in the form of inherited diseases that keep on appearing in every new generation. If there was cancer in the family that claimed the life of some members of the family; then it is mostly like to seek the life of another member of the family if that giant won't be dealt with in the spiritual realm.

Goliath gave hard time the children of Israel; he was one of the five remaining giants in the land during David era. He was a mighty hero who came out of the Philistine camp, He was more than nine feet tall [appx. 9'9"]. Some suggests that David was 5'2" tall when he faced Goliath. Goliath stood there and shouted to the soldiers of Israel. He said, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? I’m a Philistine. You are servants of Saul. Choose one of your men. Have him come down and face me. If he’s able to fight and kill me, we’ll become your slaves. But if I win and kill him, you will become our slaves and serve us.”

Every morning and evening Goliath came forward and stood there. He did it for 40 days. No one seemed to be brave enough to face Goliath until when David came into the picture. David said these words to Goliath before killed him, “You are coming to fight against me with a sword, a spear and a javelin. But I’m coming against you in the name of the Lord who rules over all. He is the God of the armies of Israel. He’s the one you have dared to fight against. This day the Lord will give me the victory over you. I’ll strike you down. I’ll cut your head off.

It may be possible that there is no one who seems to be courageous enough to face that giant in your family. Many have bowed down to it as the way the children of Israel did to Goliath. People in your family are saying, this is the family disease and there is nothing you can do about it. Some families have women who always have miscarriages in every second or third pregnancies. Miscarriages have become the new normal in your family. They have occurred many times in such a way no one seems to be shocked by them anymore.

This morning, I want to urge you to activate the giant slayer inside of you. It is about time for you to say enough is enough! Don't continue to allow certain diseases to bull the members of your family; it is about time for you to do something about it. Use the faith that you have in Christ Jesus to strike that giant down, and cut its head off. The whole world will know that there is God in your life after you have overcome that giant. The battle belongs to the Lord. He will hand that giant over to you.
   
God wants to put an end to that problem in your family that's why He has sent you this message. We will continue this series of Faith tomorrow and talk more about this subject of giants. I believe God wants to use these daily messages to help us slay all the giants in our families. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and a God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may help me use the faith I have in Christ Jesus to slay all the giants in my family. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

PERSONAL FAITH 

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval.

By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Hebrews 11:1-3 AMP

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of the things not seen. For by this this faith man of old gained divine approval. The Bible talks about the men of old or ancient’s people who obtained the good testimony through their faith. These are the ones we read in the Holy Scriptures men who obeyed God and gained approval before Him.

We are always encouraged to have personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. We are being taught that the faith of our parents, Churches or Pastors won't give us approval before God. Many people don't understand that as much as it’s needed to have a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ by committing our lives to Him. It is also needed to have a personal faith that will help you to overcome all of your personal demons and fight against every devices of the evil one.

Many of us desire to be under the Pastor who is anointed; or under a spiritual leader who can be an Apostle, Prophet or Bishop who is so powerful. We think if we are under these powerful men of God we will automatically get the anointing. It may be true in some extent but there is a price to pay for you to get your own anointing. There is a price to pay that you may have your personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This morning, I want to encourage you to develop your personal faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. If you want to see God in another dimension of grace then you need to start trusting Him in higher level than you do now. You will receive only those things that you have the faith to receive. If you want to receive more things from God then you need to read more the Scriptures and put into practices what they teach.

If you are renting a house now and you want to have your own house in the near future. It is not enough for a Pastor to put his hands on you and pray for you. You need to have faith that you will have that particular house in few years from now. Start looking for plots for house or if you want to buy a house; then start researching what kind of house you will be able to afford. Tell God what area you want to live and ask Him to reserve a place for you in that area. In the mean time start saving from today that when time comes you may have enough to help you buy things you need in your new house. Act by faith and God is going to reward your faith. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!  

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I put my faith in You. Lord I want to trust for everything in my life; help me to walk by faith and not by sight. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

CARELESS WORDS

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].  For by this [kind of] faith the [a]men of old gained [divine] approval.

 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Hebrews 11:1-3 AMP

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of the things not seen. I will try to repeat this definition over and over again in this series. I want you to be able to understand it and store it in your heart. You will be able to exercise your faith more effectively if you know what faith to beginning is.

Yesterday we talked about words; we said the Bible says in Proverbs 18:21, “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences”. We have killed many things in our lives through our tongues; many beautiful relationships have been dissolved because we didn't control our tongues. In the mean time we have given life to many beautiful things because we used our tongues properly.

Who you are today, and what you have in life is the result of the words that you spoke over your life. There are some people who used to say they have short temper and after sometimes they came to be known that way. Short temper became their label, and hence everyone see them as short tempered people. I don't know what kinds of words that you have been speaking over your life, that has ruined most part of your life; but I'm here to help you break them.

This morning, I urge you to break every deadly word that you have spoken over your life by the blood of Jesus. I was thinking moving to another subject of faith, but the Spirit of God didn't allow me; He wanted me to write something more about this area of words. He says there are some of you stuck in some circumstances; because you spoke some words in the past that came to create what you are wrestling with in the present.

Some of you called yourself looser that's why you are losing every side of your life. There are some of you who said they don't have ability to love, that's why you can't love others and you don't know why. There are some women who said to themselves, we have everything and we don't need men we can take care of ourselves. Now the age is advancing and no man seems to have any interest in you; because those words stand in the spiritual realm and they automatically push even good men away.

Maybe your children are acting crazy, because you said to them they are crazy; so now they just living your words. You need to sit down and ask the Lord to remind you all those deadly words you spoke over your life and lives of your loved ones. Then repent (change your mindset); and ask God to forgive you for all careless words you spoke in your life and start speaking against them. Speak blessings where you spoke curse, speak life where you spoke death, speak victory where you spoke failure and speak peace where you spoke hate. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, forgive me for all idle words that I have spoken over my life and lives of others. Lord I'm breaking those words by the blood of Jesus, I'm asking that You may wipe away every kind of label that is over my life today; and all labels that I put on others through my words by the blood of Jesus. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

WORDS OF FAITH

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].  For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval.

By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Hebrews 11:1-3 AMP

We know that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. We said this assurance means having the confirmation that something will happen in a near future. When we say faith gives you evidence, this means faith convict us of their reality that although we cannot experience them by the physical senses they are surely exist.

The Bible teaches one powerful thing about the God we serve, it says, “(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did”. In other translation the Bible says God speaks, and something is mad out nothing, Romans 4:17. In other words He speaks by faith those things which do not exist as though they did; and those things start appearing in our physical realm.

By faith we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. God spoke the word, and all things came to existence; by this He wanted us to know that there is a tremendous power in our words. If we speak words of faith, those things we speak shall surely come to pass.

This morning, I want you to learn speaking the words of faith over your life. The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences, Proverbs 18:21. If you speak curse words to your children; they will one day turn to be like the words that you have been speaking over their lives for years. If you speak harsh words to your spouse, by calling him looser, cheater, or any kind of the words you use. You will wake up one day and find him or her turns to be just like your words.

Your words have power to influence your future, heal your past and sustain your present. If you say I will never mount up to anything in this life; then you will die broke and miserable. You may go to heaven because you gave your life to Jesus; but you will face every kind of hardship in this world. Change your words and you will change your life. Make a decision to start living the life of faith, and reaping good harvest from your words by speaking the words of faith over your life; and those around you. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to start speaking the words of faith over my life and those in the circle of my influence. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

NOW FAITH

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].

Hebrews 11:1 AMP

The eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews explains the concept of faith from the beginning of time. It gives example of great men and women of God who lived by faith in the past. It starts with Abel who offered to God a more excellent sacrifice that Cain. Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

It explains Noah, who being warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which according to faith. It then explains about faithful Abraham who obeyed God when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. It continues giving examples of people and mentions their great acts of faith.

Verse one says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.” Faith gives you confirmation of the things you want to take place in your near future; that will take place and it gives you evidence of things that are not yet seen or experienced by the physical senses such as our eyes. Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

This morning, I want to encourage you to live the life of faith. You need to practice your faith in Christ Jesus, stop complaining why things are not happening like the way you want them to be. Start praying that God may command them to be like the way you wish them to be. Don't go to prayers and say I will pray now and have the faith to receive tomorrow. You need to have faith the moment you pray and believe that God is giving you right that moment.

You need to pray by faith now, and the evidence will be seen later. God wants His people to walk by faith and know that they do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. So you need to have faith that you may be able to fight and overcome such forces. I pray that God may give you that kind of faith. We will continue with this Faith Series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to live the life of faith in Christ Jesus my Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

DAY TO DAY FAITH 

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV

The Bible teaches us about faith that move mountains, faith that changes things and make new beginnings in life. Still there is another kind of faith that we need to have day to day. We need faith that will enable us to life a victorious life daily that we overcome whatever temptations that comes in our way.

We need faith that will get help us to get through the day. There are some of you who work in the line of work that needs God daily that you may meet your daily quote. Without the help of God you cannot succeed and deliver as it expected of you. Every morning we leave our houses, send our kids to school and say goodbye to our spouses who may be going to work or remain behind.

We need to have faith that we will see them later in the day. We need to believe God that they will travel safe and come back home to us. We need to have faith that God will protect our kids and prevent them from any kind of attacks from the evil one. This kind of faith is needed daily, the faith that everything will be alright even if we are passing through difficult moments in life.

This morning, I want to encourage you to put your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ every day. Paul the Apostle said we walk by faith, not by sight. We know by faith that God will protect our loved ones and bring them home to us after a long day. We know that we succeed in whatever we do daily, regardless how difficult things maybe.

Start this week by faith, things that didn't go well last week just trust God that they will go well this week. If you are having problems in your relationships, trust God that they will all work out after you have surrendered those relationships to Him. God wants you to walk by faith and trust him with every single detail in your life. We shall continue with our Faith series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to live by the faith of my Lord Jesus Christ every day. I believe you will help me today to overcome everything in my way. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

FAITH IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

John 16:13 NKJV

When Jesus went to heaven, He left with us His Spirit who dwelt in Him. It was the Spirit of God that enabled Him to do all the miracles, signs and wonders. It was the Spirit of God that gave Him wisdom than all scholars who came to challenge Him. The Bible says, “Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, Luke 4:1.”

Jesus followed and obeyed the leading of Holy Spirit that's why His ministry was operating in tremendous power. Although He was God but He learnt to be obedient to what the Spirit of God directed Him to do. He surrendered His will to His Father; and committed His ministry to the Spirit of God to help Him fulfill the will of the Father.

Many Christians believe in the Bible, believe in God the Father, and God the Son but they don't believe in the God the Spirit. Jesus said, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life, John 6:63.” And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." The life in our mortal bodies comes from the Spirit of God. He is the one who heals us and set us free from the power of darkness. Jesus said, “But if I am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you, Matthew 12:28.”

This morning, I want to encourage you to have faith in the Spirit of God. We see that our Lord Jesus Christ had faith in the Spirit of the Father. He cast out demons through His power; He healed, set people free and proclaimed the eternal Gospel of the Kingdom through the power of Holy Spirit. When He came from the wilderness, He stood on the Synagogue and said these words: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me. To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted. To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed.” Luke 4:18

If Jesus put His faith in the Spirit of God; we ought to put our faith in the Spirit of God too! If we want to see God working supernatural in our lives, we need to change our thinking and start letting the Spirit take control. Jesus said when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide us into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority; but whatever He hears from God the Father He will speak; and He will tell us things to come. Put your faith in Him today and He, the Spirit will reveal Himself in your life.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I put my faith in your Spirit. Help me to live by obeying His voice everyday. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

HAVE FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD

And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Acts 16:27-31 NKJV

Paul and Silas were imprisoned because they cast a demon out of a certain slave girl who was possessed with a spirit of divination. The Bible says, “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.” (Ve.25-26)

The Bible continues by saying, and the keep of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” Paul and Silas were ministries of the Gospel; they were imprisoned because of the testimony of Jesus Christ. In prison they continued giving praise to God, and put their faith in the Son of God.

The jailer asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Later the jailer was saved together with his family. Salvation entered in his house because he put his faith in the Son of God.

This morning, I want you to know if you believe on the Son of God salvation will come in your heart. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." All those who put their faith in the Son of God; He gave them everlasting life. He will give you everlasting life if you will put your faith in Him. (John 3:16)

Faith in the Son of God produces forth salvation in one's life. If you do not believe in the Son of God then you will perish together with the devil, fallen angels, demons and all people who denied him in this life. Make sure that every day, every hour, every minute and every second; your faith is in Christ Jesus. Whenever you feel like you have gone astray, go quickly to Him and repent that you may have a good relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I believe in your Son Jesus Christ. I believe in the salvation that is found by faith in Chris Jesus. Help me to bear fruits worthy of my repentance in the rest of my days. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Mark 11:22-24 NKJV

In life we have mountains; there are things that block us to see the other side unless we go around them. Going around them may take a while and we may face many difficult things on the way. That's why Jesus taught us to use faith if we want to remove large elevation that block the way of our success.

Jesus taught us to have faith in God. He specifically said God and nothing else; He knew many people would take the liberty of having faith in many different things. I have seen people having faith in their position which can be corporate positions or political ones. Some people have put their faith in their money, wealth, rich family heritage, religious leaders, and countries and even in the forces of the darkness. 

All these other things can give us security for a while but they cannot help us in the day of our calamities. There are some diseases that cannot be cured by money; you may have all money in the world, access to any kind of hospital and doctors. If God won't intervene in your situation; then you will die and leave your money and wealth behind for other people to spend.

This morning, I want to you to know that faith in God is the only faith that can permanently remove mountains in your life. Your witch doctor cannot remove your mountains; your family elders cannot remove your misfortunes in life. Your wealth cannot heal you from inherited diseases that have been eating up your family generation after generation.

If you say to your mountain removed and cast into the sea, while your faith is in God without allowing any doubt in your heart but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. You will remove that mountain in your life if you will put your faith in the God of heaven and earth. He is the creator and ruler of everything in this world. He has power to command everything in your life to stay in line that you may live a peacefully life in Christ Jesus. We shall continue with our Faith series tomorrow. God bless you!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Father, I cast all the mountains in my life into the sea. I want to see your glory in my life, help me to walk by faith before You ooh Lord in all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
