Text - Hebrews 11: 1 & 6
Subject - PUT YOUR FAITH IN GOD
Introduction - Faith is the Substance of things hope for the evidence of things not see Heb. 11 : 1
For without faith it is impossible to please him. Heb. 11: 6
God ask Moses to lead his people out of Egypt after a lot of obstacles they where finally given permission to leave. They where almost half why when pharaoh change his mind and decided to chase them. So the Egyptians Army mounted their powerful horses and then blazing chariots in pursue of God’s people across the desert most of whom where walking on foot - As a sign of powerlessness.
When they reach the Red sea, they where trying to make up their mind when the turn and see the Egyptian coming they all gave up, their faith fade …… And the started crying to Moses. Moses know the God He is serving so He said to them; “Do not be afraid, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, The Egyptian you see today you will never see them again, the Lord will fight for you”. Ex. 14:13-14.
The situation, the circumstance, the obstacles in front of you, you will never see them again. The Lord will fight for you. The battle is not yours but the Lord. Moses know they have a miracle working God on their side. God parted the sea for them to walk on dry ground but released it in the Egyptian and they all died. So when things seem hopeless, put your faith in God.
In Mark chapter 2 - four men faced a challenge to put an end to one man calamity. This man life was dependent on this four people, when Jesus came to the Town they determine to get him to Jesus to bring an end to his problem. But they faces an obstacle ‘the crowed’ The could not get him to Jesus because of the crowed they bypass the crowed - open the roof, spoiled the house and lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on.
Key - When Jesus saw their faith - What Jesus is looking for today is your faith. He said take your mat and go home, the man was immediately healed.
Your faith can remove mountain, can remove obstacles. Believe that He can do it and He would.
Read LUKE 7: 1-10 and see great faith exercise…….
The Centurion servant was sick - Then the Centurion heard that Jesus in coming. He believe in Jesus that He has the power to Heal his servant whom He valued highly. So
he sent some Elders who where Jews because he was a Gentile.
He went and met Jesus and said -Jesus you do not have to come under my roof to heal the man. ‘’Just say the word’’ and my servant will be heal. I believe you, I trust you that whatever you say would be done.
If you could allow Jesus to speak to your Situation or Circumstances today it would be done. ‘’ if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you can say to whatever mountain be gone and it will obey you.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD, HAVE FAITH IN GOD
WONDERFUL THINGS WILL HAPPENED TO YOU
IF YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
