The system of the world tells us that "seeing is believing". However, the system of the kingdom says otherwise.
In the Kingdom, our believe can bring what is non-existent into existence.
In John 20:29, Jesus stated that blessed are those who do not see but believe.
In Luke 7:18, when John was in prison, he sent his disciples to confirm if Jesus was truly the Messiah. Remember that it was this same John who revealed Jesus to the people.
Refusal to believe before you see is a sign of weakness. Watch out!!
Not walking by faith is an indication that you're living a life that's below the level at which you've been called (Rom 8: 24-25).
We are implored to have God's kind of faith, that kind of faith that believes against all odds.
Many times, the conflict we face is as a result of always wanting to put logic into everything, we always want to reason it out (Isaiah 28:16).
Many believers most times feel that God is delaying hence they feel the need to help themselves out. The case of Sarah is a good example of such.
Anytime, we try to act ahead of God, it's always a false move.
When you choose to do it your own way and not God's way, you miss the Supernatural.
As a believer, there's a measure of faith that has been given unto you to command situations (Mark 11: 22-28).
What you believe affects:
I. What you get in the place of prayer
ii. The promises of God that will be fulfilled in your life.
There are three levels of faith at which a believer can operate
1. The free running mode: Believers at this mode feel they shouldn't bother God with their needs or anything. They live as it comes believing what will be will be.
The free running mode is a risky one because even your adversary the devil is always seeking whom to devour.
Therefore, rise to claim your blessings and the promises of God for your life.
2. Hope level: Hope as good as it is might become something to watch out for. Hope maketh not ashamed, hope never disappoints.
However, be sure that your hope is in God. Hope deferred makes the heart weary( Proverbs 13:12).
3. Faith level ( Heb 11:6): This is the level at which every believer should be (Romans 14:23).
Operating at the faith level places a man at a pedestal where He can easily connect with the plans of God for His life.
A believer shouldn't just have faith but ACT FAITH!!!!
Exercising your faith is like exercising your muscles. It keeps building up.
David faced the bear, the lion therefore facing the uncircumcised philistine wasn't a big deal (1Samuel 17:37).
Feed your faith and not your fear. Look at your mountain, valleys, Giants and speak victory into them.
Choose to believe God's word. Let God be true and every circumstance or situation be a lie. Remember that God's word will always find fulfillment.
Rise with confidence and take over every territory God has given unto you.
Prayer: Lord I believe in your report, I believe in what your word says, I believe you can do all things 🙌🙌🙌.
I decree that every valley is filled up, I enter into my season of opened doors, I receive victory through your word oh Lord.
For every need, provisions from heaven is released. Every expectation is met in Jesus name.
Thank you Jesus.

God is not a man that should lie. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Some things are consistent with the nature of God.
1. It's not in the nature of God to fail. Psalm 77:8
God has proven overtime that He never fail.
Rest your mind when you have promises from God, they will ALL come to pass. Isaiah 55:11
2. It's not in His nature to abandon His own. If you're on God's side, He will never abandon you. Psalm 37:17,25
God can show up in ways you don't imagine but He will never abandon you. Psalm 37:39
If the cross has no meaning to you then you don't have the faith yet.
The gospel of Christ is not outside the cross.
The cross of Christ is a place of encounter with Christ.
The cross is a place of an exchange where new life is obtained.
The cross is a place where our sin is exchanged for righteousness.
The cross is a place where we enter God.
Essence: the property, the most significant element, quality or aspect of a thing or person.
Element of Mercy.
Mercy is a reality in God given to us by the sovereignty of God. It shields us from what we truly deserve. Exodus 34:6, Lamentations 3:22
