DAY ONE (04/12/19)
Sermon Title: "Faith is a profession for living"
Ministering: BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO
INTRODUCTION
It is what you see that God is committed to deliver. Faith is a spiritual profession. Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:23,38. Faith is a profession for living. You need to learn the skills to make it deliver. Every great man of faith is a life student of the word. “Faith is a profession, it is not a doctrine”. Faith empowers you to make the most of life. Everyone’s life is a function of the faith at work in him.
Faith demands that you will be tirelessly committed to the study of the word if you are to develop capacity. Faith demands that you discipline your thoughts. Faith demands that you discipline your words, you must also discipline your actions. 1 Samuel 2:3. Every contrary action cancels out the effect of your faith. In every profession, knowledge is on the increase. There is nothing fake about Bible faith. When faith is seated in the centre of your life, you are in command. 1 John 5:14.
Understanding faith as the master key to the world of no limits. 1 Corinthians 13:1. Faith without the love of God at work equals nothing. Faith works by love. Faith will only deliver by the level of your love for God. John 21: 15-16 – You cannot love God and not know. No love for God, Zero returns on your faith. Without a heart for God, you can’t go far in life. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. Every lover of God is ordained a pathfinder, trailblazer and a pacesetter.
Many are in need because they don’t know what they need. Love is a choice, but your choice may not be able to stand the test of time except that choice is empowered. Luke 22:33. Romans 5:5. The higher the level of love, the greater the effect of your faith. 2 Timothy 1:7, Proverbs 11:21.
To be full of Love is to be full of God. 1 John 4:16, Ephesians 3: 17-19
WHAT ARE THE PROOFS OF MY LOVE FOR GOD?
1. You will love his word.
2. You will love his house.
3. Giving will be a delight. 2 Corinthians 8:8
4. Our heart for his sheep is proof of our love for him. John 21:15-16
You can tell whether you are in love of out of love. Your faith will never work beyond your work for God.
Great love for God, Great effect of faith. It takes life to learn, develop capacity and develop skills.
