Faith Has No Limit.

Each one of us is the possessor of our individual and personal faith.

Habakkuk 2⁴

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Imagination is an aspect of faith.

Genesis 11^4-6

⁴And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven: and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

⁵And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

⁶And the Lord said, behold the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

They set a faith mark.

Habakkuk 2:^1-4

¹I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

²And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

³For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

⁴Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Verses 1-3 are about vision, verse 4 is about faith.

No matter the glory of the vision, without faith it cannot be taken from the invisible to the visible realm.

Nobody can put a limit on how much God will do in your individual life, only you yourself.

There are two pillars of the limitless force of faith:

1. 1. Have the understanding of the Stronghold of Faith

That is Faith must be properly anchored in the Stronghold of Faith

1. 2. Be able to operate under the Creative Dimension of Faith.

UNDERSTANDING THE STRONGHOLD OF FAITH

Zechariah 9¹²

Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

What is a Stronghold?

A stronghold is a place you enter into to fortify yourself, from there you can begin to manifest.

As Saul chased David, he ran into his stronghold.

Strongholds are powerful. When you take the Blood of Jesus, it is powerful.

The Blood cover is a strong place.

I take cover in the Blood of Jesus. I take cover in the stronghold of the Blood of Jesus.

Let us look at people who walked with this understanding.

Isaiah 51²

Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

Abraham is the Father of Faith. God set Abraham as a standard.

Genesis 12¹

Now the Lord had said unto Abram. Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

At this point Abraham had no full scale direction from God. It takes a level of ‘foolishness’ to walk with God.

Abraham had two fathers, his earthly father and Heavenly Father, God Almighty.

The Stronghold of Faith is obedience to the Word of God.

Understand the greatness of Abraham.

Abraham was already rich before he had Isaac.

Genesis 13²

And Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

Abraham’s obedience made his greatness.

Obedience is the Stronghold of Faith.

Delayed obedience is partial disobedience.

When God gives you certain instructions, obey them at once.

It is obedience to God that has made some more favoured than others.

1 Samuel 15²²

And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings, and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Believers have a stronghold. Every time we turn into it, we have a double dimension.

Obedience is a major pillar in the School of Faith.

Disobedience blocks our access to our Heavenly Father.

Jeremiah 7^21-23

²¹Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

²²For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

²³But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Don’t give offerings, when there’s any form of disobedience in your life. The Church may use it, but God won’t see it.

Disobedience takes one backwards.

Jeremiah 7²³

But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Disobedience to the revealed ways of God causes retrogression in the life of the believer.

Retrogression is the Christmas gift of disobedience, particularly to God’s Word.

Before one looks towards blaming the devil for everything, one needs to check one’s self and take personal responsibility.

James 4⁷

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Obedience anchors one’s faith properly.

Faith connects man to God, and the supernatural begins to flow in one’s life.

It is an act of faith to sow financially towards various Christian programmes, for example the television ministry, which is blessing lives and winning souls into God’s Kingdom.

Let us take a close look at Abraham’s obedience to God.

Genesis 17¹

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

^{……..at 99 years of age}.

Verses 9-12, 23

⁹And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

¹⁰This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee in their generations.

¹¹And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

¹²And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

²³And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

The same day the word came, Abraham obeyed.

Genesis 18^1-3

¹And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre; and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

²And he lift up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground.

³And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

Abraham’s obedience provoked divine encounters, divine visitations, angelic visitations, the Lord and two angels. It ushered in the manifestation of God’s prophetic agenda for Abraham’s life.

Divine encounters are a product of a lifestyle. Abraham was very malleable in God’s hands.

When God is talking about a seed to you, He has in mind a harvest for you. For instance if he asks you for something you imagine to be so costly to give, such as a month’s salary, would you give it to Him in obedience? This is a seed for which He has a harvest for you.

If your walk with God has not reached a point where He makes demands from you, it is questionable.

Men and women of divine encounters are those who live a life of obedience.

Genesis 18^11-14

¹¹Now Abraham and Sarah were old; and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

¹²Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

¹³And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

¹⁴Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Genesis 22^{1, 12}

¹And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

¹²And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

Abraham rose up early in the morning (verse 3).

Abraham was God’s friend. God could ask him for anything.

If there’s anything too big to give to God, one’s walk with God has not yet started.

You cannot love God without sacrifice.

The foundation of this walk of obedience is the fear of God. Abraham passed through the test of various sacrifices and was worthy of the promotion he received from God.

We need to pass examinations of obedience for prophecies over our lives to be fulfilled.

BUILDING FAITH FOR SUPERNATURAL&DOMINION MENTALITY

(The Seeing-Faith for Dominion)

The LORD said to Moses, “see I have made you a God to pharaoh”…..

He did not say, “Not that I am going to make you”, He said, “I have made you but you have to see it yourself above Pharaoh to be able to exercise Dominion (leadership and authority of my will and purpose) over pharaoh.

Before now Moses was complaining to God that He I cannot speak to Pharaoh

Exodus 6:29-30

²⁹That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

³⁰And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

What the Lord meant to Moses was the problem of Pharaoh not willing to listen to you is an issue of stubbornness. It’s the problem of your mental blindness you cannot see. You cannot see you are in me. You have the problem of identity. You are seeing yourself the way I see you.

The problem was not pharaoh but Moses’ wrong perspective and mental position.

It’s not the problem but how you see it. Seeing our challenges through the eyes of faith is the take off point for our desired dominion until you see yourself above a problem you cannot rule over. We need a mental adjustment for destiny advancement. WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF AS God over your pharaoh, it enhances your Dominion mentality.

THE WAY YOU SEE YOURSELF IS THE WAY THE DEVIL SEES YOU-

Numbers 13:33

³³And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

YOUR MENTAL PICTURE DETERMINE YOUR ACTUAL FUTURE

The way you see things determine the way you think, and as a man thinketh so is he.

Proverbs 17:23

²³A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

Your mentality determines your ultimate destiny in God

Job 2:9

⁹Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

When you walk in this dimension, any power that attempt to curse will die.Nothing can curse God and live

Someone said, “ I wish am the one God,  I would  have handled pharaoh”.

WHO ARE CHILDREN OF GOD

Psalm 82:5-7

⁵They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

⁶I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

⁷But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

If you are a Child of God, God is talking to you in a similar he spoke to Moses.

When you walk in this kind of mentality or this dominion mind set, you will not die like men. What kills natural men cannot kill you, or what bring natural men down cannot bring you down.

When you have an understanding of this mental position, the supernatural realm becomes your natural realm.

JESUS OPERATED WITH THIS SUPERIOR MENTALITY

John 3:31

³¹He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

If you read this verse, what He was saying here is that it is a reflection of the mentality Christ walked with when He was on the earth.

Living from this supernatural position in handling your affairs put you in dominion on the earth realm. When you walk in this supernatural position, it positions for a flow of supernatural wisdom which I call REVELATIONAL SOLUTIONS that can bail you out of any situation. Anything that flows to you from the supernatural realm such as anointing, authority, power, wisdom, revelation etc is product of your positioning.

This kind of wisdom will not flow to you if you are earthly in your mentality. Hence, it means you cannot walk with this kind of faith for the supernatural, except you maintain your supernatural position mentally.

IT’S ADVENTURE IN GOD THAT HELPS YOU CEMENT INTO THIS SUPERNATURAL POSITION

As you maintain this supernatural position, revelation solutions that brings mortal men out there that situations will start flowing to you this is what we call wisdom from above

James 3:15

¹⁵This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

When you start seeing yourself as God over your pharaoh like challenges, there is a mental shift from a natural mind set to a supernatural mind set. God has never lost any battle to the devil, so you cannot be defeated in any battle of life.

You need know this far above mentality to handle any pharaoh -like situation you are facing right now. See yourself above that problem right now. In spite of the stubborn nature of the challenge you are facing, the superior mentality will position you for the supernatural flow of heavenly wisdom to deal with your financial challenge, marital problems, etc. Apply this mental approach to handle what you facing now andwalk in the light of your supernatural.

REALM OF POSSIBILITY

Luke 1:37

³⁷For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Mark 9:23

²³Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Your faith in this understanding of your supernatural position  makes you see yourself  as a God to pharaoh and  launches  you into the realm of possibility mentality.

In the realm where God dwells, there is nothing that impossible. Faith is the kind of understanding that help you to operate in the class of God mentally on the earth realm, off the human realm of impossibility

This kind of faith in your supernatural position changes your status and connects you to divinity

You walk with a superior mentality in dealing with your affairs on earth. This kind of understanding enhances your Dominion mentality on earth realm

LAW OF THE SPIRIT

THE WAY YOU SEE YOURSELF Is THE WAYT HE DEVIL SEE YOU-

Numbers 13:33

³³And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Who is Pharaoh?

Pharaoh is any power that will want to prevent you from fulfilling your prophetic agenda in God. The force that is out within your life is out to contend with God plans.

Pharaoh represents the forces of delay and if allowed, can drag the fulfillment of divine time table. They can turn a journey of one week into a whole year if you allow them.

They are wicked and stubborn pursuer of great destiny but God said I have made you a God to this pharaoh- characterized manifestations.

Start dealing with pharaoh from your supernatural position

HOW DO I ACTIVATE THIS STATUS

1. Understand your redemptive position in Christ

Ephesians 2:6

⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 1:20-21

²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

²¹Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

2.Ask the lord to open your eyes of understanding to see things the way he sees them-

Ephesians 1:17-20

¹⁷That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

¹⁸The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

3.Walk in the consciousness of the supernatural position
