If you must win in life, you must have the consciousness of victory. Every man’s mentality determines his actuality. Faith is the product of mentality. All the men and women of faith are people with an over-comers’ mentality. God wants me to have the consciousness of overcoming the devil. Ehen you are too cold or lethargic, you will not obtain your desires. There is a condition your heart must be in for you to receive the desires of your heart. The faith that works now is a confrontational faith. The working faith is the fighting faith.

The over-comers’ mentality is knowing that in every situation, God will see you through. It is a confrontational mentality. It does not take ‘no’ for an answer. It is a testimony driven mentality. Any testimony you hear is a prophetic tool for you to provoke your own.

For you to have an over-comers’ mentality you must have the scriptures at heart and believe that everything that worked in God’s word can work in your life. It is a mentality that confronts opposition, olden day’s ideologies and the ideas of the present world system which are contrary to God’s word. It is a mentality that achieves everything. It is a top mentality. Receive this mentality today in the name of Jesus!

Study Scriptures: Proverbs 23:7, 22:13, Hebrews 11:1, Romans 4;21, 1 Peter 5:8-9, 1 Timothy 1:18, 6:12, Revelations 12:11, 19:10, 1 Samuel 17:25

Prayer line: Lord I receive an over-comers’ mentality to obtain all that I need in the name of Jesus. Amen!

An Igbo adage is translated thus: a fixed war does not meet a crippled man. This means that whenever a crippled man hears about war, he begins to make journey to make sure that the war does not meet. In the same way, you as a Christian ought to beware that the days ahead are perilous times and we must put yourself in order for the days ahead.

Becoming heroes of faith entails that we prepare ourselves for the days ahead both in this present time and for eternity. The heroes of faith recorded in the bible are typical examples of what we must represent. God expects us to keep the faith and finish the course of Jesus on earth and to finish well.

The heroes of faith are men who know God’s will and are ready to die for its fulfillment. They are men that will finish well. They are men that endure hardness. The heroes of faith are men are men who are submitted and committed to Christ. They are men and women that have dropped or sacrificed something that is valuable to them for the sake of the kingdom.

Scriptures: Ephesians 5:21-33, 2 Timothy 2:3, James 1:12, Romans 8:38, 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, John 4:23, Ephesians 5:21, Matthew 24:13, Hebrews 11:14-16, 23-27, 38-40.

Prayer line: Father grant me grace to finish well and to be enlisted as a hero of faith

The role of faith in the life of an individual cannot be overemphasized, that is why the bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. You don’t need capital to start a business, what you need is capital faith. You don’t need connection to gain admission into the university, you need capital faith. Whenever you connect to the force of faith, you will draw down resources in every area.

For example, the Faithhouse commission has three fathers from whom we connect to the spirit of faith at work in their lives. The same order of wisdom at work in Bishop Oyedepo is at work in Faithouse. The same order of speed and transformation at work in Rev. David Ogbueli is also evident in Faithhouse. Finally, the same order of financial provisions at work in Peace House – the ministry of Bro. Gbile Akanni is also at work in Faithhouse.

Spiritual virtues and inheritance are transferrable by the spirit of faith. If you are open, you will receive.

Study scripture:   2 Corinthians 4:13-14

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak (NKJV)

I pray for you today, you are receiving a fresh download of the spirit of faith that draws down resources, obtains and overcomes all things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

The heroes of faith recorded in the bible are in heaven waiting for us the saints on earth to come and join them before their reward can be complete. These heroes of faith faced various challenges and each of those challenges are represented full time in our dealings today. Rahab was a prostitute and yet she was recorded as a hero of faith, Samson fell into the sin of fornication, yet he was recorded as a hero of faith etc. Whatever challenge you face in your journey to become a hero of faith, you must realize that others who were before you have passed through the same, and made it. Hebrews 11:40, 12:1. Always bear in mind that there are still virgins in Sodom. Genesis 19:8

 

The heroes of faith are men who finished well (1 Corinthians 9:27, 1 Timothy 4:5-7)

 It is not about starting the journey of faith but finishing and finishing well. Ray Boltz wrote the song – ‘I pledge allegiance to the lamb’ is now a gay. Pray for yourself constantly for the grace of God to finish well. In order for you to finish well, you must develop a never-give-up attitude; keep the faith to the end and unwavering commitment to your course.

 

 

Two types of finishing well

1. Finishing the assignment of God upon your life
2. Finishing the course of Jesus on earth i.e. keeping the faith. 1 Timothy 4:5-7

 

What stops men from finishing well?

1. Pressures of life
2. Pleasures of life
3. Strong persecutions for righteousness sake. 2 Corinthians 4:7-10
4. Doctrines of the devil. 1 Timothy 4:1

 

How do I finish well?

1. Take heed unto yourself
2. Endure hardness. 2 Timothy 2:2-5
3. Be sober and vigilant
4. Build up your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost
