STUDY SCRIPTURE:
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith
- 1 John 5:4 (KJV)
The bible says in Hebrews 11:6 that, without faith, it is impossible to please God. Like we learnt in our last month’s series, you access faith in God’s presence. You will be stagnated in your walk with God and other life’s activities if you fail to build on your faith. Today, we will gain insight on the ‘Overcoming Faith’. By the end of this message, I ask God to impart you with an overcoming faith in Jesus name. Amen!
What then is an Overcoming Faith?
- It is the faith that makes you a mystery and master over life (John 3:8).
- An overcoming faith is a faith that sets you free from all forms of slavery and deceit (Romans 8:15).
- It is the faith that sets you free from fear (2 Timothy 1:7).
What this Overcoming Faith deals with?
- An overcoming faith deals with the spirit of death (Psalms 23:4, Hebrews 2:14-15)
- It deals with wickedness
- It deals with fear (fear of failure etc.)
- It deals with the negative issues of life (in regards to your health, marriage, academics e.t.c.).
- It deals with spiritual bondage.
How to access this Overcoming Faith?
- The knowledge of who you are in Christ (1 John 4:4). Your fellowship with God enables you to gain victory over the evil one. Your personal experience with God determines how bold you will be over situations.
