HAVE
FAITH IN GOD
MEMORISE
For
verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall
have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23
READ
Numbers 23:19-21
19 God is not
a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath
he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it
good?
20 Behold, I
have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse
it.
21 He hath
not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the
LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
MESSAGE
In the course of this month, God has been speaking
to us on building a new altar. You may want to ask: does God have details of
what this altar should look like? The answer is yes. He expects you to build a
very special altar to Him which must have this attribute: it must be an altar
of faith. Stop doubting God! Hebrews 11:6 says,
“But
without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
him.”
Four different times in the Bible, God said: “The just
shall live by faith”. You cannot call yourself a Christian if you find it
difficult to believe God. Whatever He promises, He must surely bring it to
pass. No matter how impossible God’s promise may sound, just trust Him. He
never fails. It is better to approach God with child-like faith.
While praying one day, the Lord said to me, “Son,
one day, presidents will come to this camp to worship” and I said “Amen”. As at
this time, there was no likelihood of this happening. Then I told my people
what God said and the need to build a place for the presidents to stay when
they would visit. So we built a presidential lodge which was the largest
building at the Redemption Camp at that time. Thereafter, we waited for the
first three years but no president came. Then one day, my senior pastors met
and said they didn’t understand what I was saying. They said to themselves,
‘This man wants to live in a big house but does not want to tell us. Now he has
completed the building, he does not know how to move in’. So they came to me
and said, “You are our president. Move into the house”, but I said, “No, that
is not my house: presidents are coming”. Today, God has fulfilled His word
before our very eyes. God is not a liar. Stop doubting Him. When you go through
a trial of faith, you may express faith but it may not yield any immediate
result. Do not let this topple your faith in God. Every good word the Lord has
spoken to you has a day of fulfilment. That day shall not pass you by! Hold on
to every promise of God for you and your family. Hold on to God’s promise for
your church or ministry. He will fulfil them.

POINT
Inability to take God at His Word gives Him
displeasure.
