Praise the Lord, if you are glad to see the breaking of the day this morning can you rise and shout Hallelujah.

OPENING PRAYER
*Father, I'm open up for your word, let your word reach me at the point of my need, by this word today, give me a lift in life. Give God praise He can do more than you can ask for.

*Father, in the name of Jesus, we exalt Your Most Holy Name for the privilege to gather at your feet, we appreciate You for what you have done in time past and precisely for what You did on Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, yesterday and we look forward to glorious time today and we salute You, we say have your way in the mighty name of Jesus. We plead with You, today will be far greater than yesterday and tomorrow will be far greater than today. Holy Spirit have Your right of way as we look at this subject this morning. Let faith arise in Your people that they may take hold on You and possess their possession, every doubt, lack of faith, unbelief shall give way. In the place of doubt faith will come, our God will be glorified and our joy shall be full. Father, we give You all the glory, honor, You will do more than we can ask or think, have Your way, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

ROMANS 1:17 The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, whenever faith is exhibited, righteousness of God is revealed.
GALATIANS 3:11 There's no justification before God without faith.
HEBREWS 10:38 The just shall live by faith.

WHO IS THE JUST?
The just is justified by God, somebody behaving according to what is morally right. Biblically, it means he that had accepted Jesus as His Lord and Savior. Somebody who had seen Himself a sinner and decides to accept God's offer of justification in Christ Jesus.
Roman 5:1 Justification comes at salvation, salvation starts with faith, you must continue to have faith till the end. You're born again because you belief in your hear that Christ came to save you. 1 Corinthians 15:1-3. The changes starts from human spirit and every other things follow.

Faith in Christ brings salvation Hebrews 11:6 You can't come to God but by faith. Roman 4:1-5, faith justify you before God. Not by work but by faith, taking a step of faith justify a man before God. If you are born again you are the JUST.

SHALL LIVE
The just must operate in faith in every facets of life, the only way with God is the way of faith. Everything must be done by faith not in doubt or flesh, you shall live by faith and God will be glorified in your life.

FAITH
When faith is missing, destiny becomes bastardize and when faith returns things will fall in line, shape, ... Everything that is wrong with you shall bow to faith in Jesus name. Isaiah 42:22 There shall be deliverance/restoration for you from every forms of prison. Faith is missing when you are afraid, beg, ... faith shall be restored this morning Job 19: 8 This is the pathetic situation of any life where faith is missing, every pathetic situation shall bow out, your faith will bring them under captivity. After salvation, you must continue to learn about Jesus so that you can be like Him.

WHAT IS FAITH?
Hebrews 11:1 Faith puts substance to hope, faith is taking action on what you believe. Faith without work is keeping on believing without corresponding action. Action will locate your faith.
Faith gives substance to hope- without faith, hope can't deliver.
Faith converts the invisible to visible, when it becomes visible, it can be delivered.
Faith is our pathfinder, it adds color to life, it's the way of God. Hebrews 11:6. Righteousness and Godly living are impossible but by faith. Don't shift responsibility to God, play your part.
Faith is agreeing with what God has said and acting according to His requirements.
Faith is the way of God, it must be by faith if it must produce.
There will be a performance of every word that the Lord has spoken before you leave this service in Jesus name.
When faith comes you will become as invisible as God, to Him that believeth is equal to God. When you know what is written, you are in charge of what is happening. My choice is to know His ways.

PRAYER
Father, my choice is to know your ways and discover what is written so i can be in charge of what is happening, from today, i will be in charge of what is happening by Your ways in the name of Jesus, no situation and circumstance will go beyond me.

Faith is a spiritual weapon. Ephesians 6:16, a dominance force. When faith comes, power changes hand, your tormentors will bow and you will torment them. Faith will always deliver in the midst of trouble, from today, your faith will deliver. In Numbers 13, Joshua and Caleb's faith dominated the negative circumstances others brought forth. It is your duty to put action to what you believe.

HOW FAITH WORKS
Romans 4:20 There's no obstacle that faith can't crush, when you are operating in faith, you are committing God.

PROMISE, PERSUASION & PERFORMANCE helped Abraham. The fulcrum on which persuasion and performance rest is the promise. The promise is the key to faith, if you takeaway the promise there will be nothing to be persuaded about and there will be no performance.

Galatians 3:13 Your persuasion must be rigid don't shift ground. If you are persuaded about what people are saying you will fail but the persuasion concerning promises of God is stable. Whenever there's an issue in your life locate what God had said.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S PROMISES
1 Kings 8:56 Whatever He promised His hands will deliver. Looking at the problem, situation, using common sense, rationalizing and being realistic can kill faith. What God has spoken will be fulfilled in your life.

*HIS PROMISES ARE GROUNDED ANCHORED IN CHRIST
2 Corinthians 1:20
* HIS PROMISES ARE OF INFINITE VALUE NOT TEMPORAL
Psalms 119:89 Faith to take, perform and deliver will grow in you.
* EVERY PROMISE IS AN EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISE 2 Peter 1:4 God is constant, He will never fail or change. Hebrews 13:8. Numbers 23:19, James 1:5-6 God gives to those who don't waver or doubt. His hands will deliver what His mouth speaks. Hebrews 3:20-21

*HE HAS ABILITY
Whatsoever He says shall be done, able to deliver Luke 3:8, Matthew 3:9, Mark 10:27 He can do impossible things 2 Corinthians 9:8 There's no situation in the life of any man that God does't have answer to. Go for what is written, act on it and there shall be a performance.

*HE IS ABLE TO SUBDUE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF 2 Timothy 1:12
*HE IS ABLE TO MAKE YOU STAND Romans 14:4, Jude 24, Ephesian 3:20, 2 Corinthians 25:9, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Hebrews 2:18.

*BUILD YOUR FAITH
1. Build your faith, whatsoever God has promised required your faith to be delivered. Ezekiel 36:33-38, Isaiah 62:1-7, Ezekiel 47, 2 Corinthians 3:18,
Go for revelation of the word; fast, pray, study, meditate, embrace and apply the word to glorify God. Romans 10:17, Habakkuk 2 Let the word translate from what's written to what you can see.
2. PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST
3. FAITH WORKS BY ACTION.

PRAYER
***I will go for the word, i will pray in the spirit and understanding, seek the Lord, fast, get revelation, stand in the promises of God and there shall be a performance.
***Heavenly Father, we appreciate You for Your word that has gone forth, we stand on the authority of the word that can't fail, this word that has gone forth will not return to you void, it has gone, it shall produce, it shall bring testimonies, miracles, signs and wonders. Your people shall never be the same again, stir up Your people that they may go in faith, may they never live any seconds of their lives outside faith, they will live by faith, have testimonies, Your glory will rest upon all, what they have heard will enhance their miracles, find it easy to believe God and there shall be a performance of what you have spoken.
***Your faith will not fail, see you at the side of glory and victory, the word of faith loose you, go forward, have light, thank You Jehovah. Your anointing will rest on our Daddy, make tonight glorious, do what only You can do, thank You Jehovah, we give You all the glory and honor. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. AMEN!
