In this video, our global lead pastor, @okodughaolushola opens the sermon by identifying the four ways the devil attacks the believer, through covenant, distractions, disobedience, and ignorance. Drawing from Ephesians 4:18, he emphasises that in the spirit realm, ignorance of the Word is not an excuse.What Does It Mean to Believe?From 1 John 5:4, Pastor Shola establishes that the nature of sin introduced unbelief into humanity. What positions you to see the glory of God is simply this, believe. Belief operates on three levels:- The acknowledgement of God’s existence- Confidence in Him- Trust and reliance on HimDrawing from Hebrews 11:7–9, Romans 4:3, and Genesis 22:1, Abraham’s faith becomes the defining example. Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness. Belief is seeing in what you say. Romans 4:17 anchors this, faith speaks.The Faith of AbrahamPastor Shola indicates that Abraham’s faith is marked by three powerful statements:- He declared that he and his son would both return, speaking the outcome before it happened- He declared that the Lord would provide, trusting God’s provision in the absence of evidence- He believed against hope, holding on when there was nothing natural to hold on toPastor Shola wraps up the message by indicating that Abraham did not anchor his faith on a supernatural experience. He held on to what God told him. You cannot access the blessing of Abraham with the faith of Thomas.The Proof That You Believe shows up in:How you think, What you say, How you see life and circumstances and What you do.The power of faith is found in the community of faith. Faith is taking what God told you and returning it to Him in days of trouble. The Word of God is faith. Do not be a Christian without weapons, the Word is your weapon, and the earth is your territory.This message will help you:- Identify and close the doors the enemy uses to gain access to your life- Move from a surface level belief to a deep, anchored faith in God’s Word- Speak and act like Abraham, believing beyond what is naturally visibleWatch, reflect, and refuse to move from what God has spoken over your lifeABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.
