Many of us must have for the longest time wondered what might have
been wrong with Abraham – taking your long waited son to some mountains to
slaughter Him in the name of obedience unto his so called God!
But today God has laid to eternal rest many questions
regarding how far one ought to go in obedience unto God and brought to light
the stronghold of faith.
Mary having understood this dimension of faith, spoke thus,
to the savants at the wedding of Cana, John 2:5. And as they obeyed their
breakthrough came.
Your own break through has knocked at the door of your life
for far too long. It is time you believed in the word of God in this message,
and put it to work in faith that you may receive of the wonders of faith. Peace!
Let us begin from the book of Zechariah 9:11-12. Today we
have come to partake of the stronghold that we may step into our inheritance.
The blood of the covenant is one stronghold against the bulwark of the enemy.
Every stronghold of the enemy, be it fear or sin holding you in captivity shall
give you way from today. You shall advance in life. As you feed your faith
every Jericho or wall of opposition in your life shall crush down in the name
of Jesus!
The strongholds of faith.
It takes faith to destroy the work of the Satan. Revelation
12:11. There is one thing though that once in place it makes faith potent.
Where faith will never fail but deliver the desired results. This thing is
obedience. Obedience to God is the stronghold of faith. Breakthrough never
occur except when barriers, oppositions and strongholds (of the devil) are
destroyed in the spirit.
The devil shuts the doors for people but God opens them up.
And if God is to open your doors you need to provoke him by faith. Faith in
obedience moves God but fear, agitations or tears will never. At the red sea Israel
wailed and murmured in fear but it was only when God moved in via the faith of
Moses that the barrier was destroyed. Exodus 14:11.
Faith that established breakthrough is that which has
overwhelmed the heart thereby dictating your actions. This is faith that
professes and not just confesses. Exodus 14: 15. And Moses stretched forth his
rod while Israel moved forward in obedience. The red sea parted. That barrier
was brought down and their breakthrough established. Faith does not see the problem but the
solution as God has said it. Faith celebrates not nor regards problem but
despises them. Hebrew 12:2.
But understand this, as we look deeper into our message.
Faith actions compliment your belief in obedience to divine instructions for
your breakthrough. John 2:5. Following
the story as we know in here from the miracle wine came by reason for their
faith action in line with the instructions Jesus gave them.
Faith without action is dead. It is faith that is wrought by
work that compels the devil to bow and give way by virtue of God moving into
action in your favor. Abraham our father was justified by works when he offered
Isaac his son on the alter. Rahab a harlot was justified by works when she
received the massagers and did not send them away. James 2:14-25. Faith is not
a confession but a profession because faith without actions is dead.
