Where is your faith-8

 

We are talking about rapturing faith. Faith that will lead us into translative anointing. Faith to give us spiritual power with God.

 

Don’t allow the amenities of this world to remove faith from you. When a hurricane is coming ashore, what has technology been able to do other than to warn you that hurricane is coming. Now if you are connected to the technology of God, you will have power in exercising your faith to stop or divert the hurricane by the authority in the name of Jesus Christ. Or when the medical world has given up on a case, when you are connected to the medicine of God, you can call the finger of God to work in your case and miracles have been known to take place, by the authority in the name of Jesus. The strength of man may fail thee. (Jer.17: 5).

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

 

Faith for material Provision:

Our faith can also be applied for meeting our needs. Let’s read all the promises of God that address this. The poverty, the struggle which came to mankind came because of the punishment which was put upon Adam in the book of Genesis when God said "in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread". That alone is the summary of the cause of poverty in the world. However, believing that when Christ came, he came to redeem mankind from the curse of the law, from the wrath of God. The punishment put upon Adam ought to be lifted from everyone that believeth in Christ Jesus. Therefore we can begin to exercise our faith to counteract all those curses.

The devil is still the one pushing the curse upon mankind. It is the devil, which has been executing the punishment upon mankind. Not God! It is the devil which causes death, and sorrow, and struggles, and poverty upon mankind. Anyone that trusts in Christ can now enjoy the benefit of peace by exercising our faith in the promises of the word of God. In order to get all the benefits and to reject the curse so that we get our needs met easily without the sweat of the brow, we must put faith in the word. These promises must be claimed by our faith, just as every promise of God for healing, or salvation. He has not made it automatic for every human to have it, but by individual person hearing and believing and then exercising one’s faith in what is heard. He has come to save the whole world, but he did not make it automatic for every person to immediately get saved overnight. Individual has got to come to Christ. Christ said, "come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The same applies to all the benefits that are attached to our salvation. When one is saved, sicknesses do not immediately disappear from one. One must now exercise faith in the word of God concerning the sickness. For overcoming poverty, one must exercise one’s faith to counteract the sorrows and the struggle.

"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth" (Deut.8: 18).

The Lord also promise us material blessing in the book of psalms. Our faith must be used to claim all these promises. "Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments". Are you one of them that delighteth greatly in the word of the Lord? It says, "His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever." (Psa.112: 1-3).

The promise of God says riches should be in your house if you are one of those that feareth the Lord. Also in Proverbs chapter 13 verse 22, we read, "a good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just." Listen to that, "a good man!" If anybody will be classified as a good man in the eyes of God, you’ve got to be born again. Not only that, you must abide in the Lord Jesus Christ. It said again, the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. That is why Christ is justifying us freely. We can use our faith to claim our material provision since we are justified by the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are leading gradually to faith for translation. We have talked about faith for salvation, faith for healing the sick and for casting out devils, faith for controlling the earth elements such as weather, and the wind, and faith for material provision.

Part of the atonement which Christ made for mankind is to redeem mankind from the curse that was placed upon Adam. Unto Adam it was said "because dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return". That was the curse of physical death. There was also the curse of poverty, which said, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread". (Gen.3:19). If we are redeemed from this curse by the sacrifice of Christ, definitely we must believe that Christ has made a way for our material provision. Apostle John wrote, "beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth". It means, even though our soul prospers in salvation as believers, God wills that our body and our pocket also prosper in health and in wealth.

Yea, this we have searched, so it is. Hear it and know thou it for thy good!
