Releasing faith for the fulfillment of the word of God

Message for Sunday the 25^th of September 2016

Theme: Understanding the dynamics of Faith for the fulfillment of the word of God.

Topic: Releasing faith for the fulfillment of the word of God

Introduction: Last week, we saw how faith works and we concluded that no matter how much faith we have in our hearts, it is not of any use if it is not released. In other words; faith must leave the heart to find expression through the mouth by way of speech for it to provide the manifestation of one’s desire. This is why we are looking at this topic today.

The Confession or profession of Faith: For faith to complete its process it must be released and for it to be released, it has to find expression through the mouth. In Rm.10:10 the bible says with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. This goes to show that until faith gets to the point of confession, the benefits cannot be actualized.

What happens to what we say:  When we release faith by way of speech, the following happens to the words we speak:

1.     God is committed to bring them to pass on principle. See Num.14:28; Job 22:28; Mt.12:34-37 and Mk.11:23.

2.     Angels are at a standby to enforce the words. Eventually, it is what we say that determines how the work of our hands will turn out. See Ps.103:20 and Eccl.5:5-6

3.     Devils are also compelled to enforce the words we speak. Num.14:28 and Mk.11:23.

God’s Principle at work with words:  The principles of God at work with words are clearly spelt out in the word of God. The chief of these could be found in Prov.18:21 thus: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Jesus Christ declared one in the book of Mark thus: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Mk.11:23

From these two witnesses among others, it is evident that you can only possess what you say. This explains why a closed mouth could lead to a closed destiny. See 2Cor.13:1 and Mt.18:16.

How to release faith for manifestations: There are two main ways by which we release faith that would move God to enforce His word for our benefits. These are utterances by speech believed in the heart because the mouth would usually voice what fills the heart because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. See Matthew 12:34-37 and Jos.1:8. Therefore, the two ways we release words we desire God to enforce because he has ordained what we desire are by speech and prophetic utterances.

Release of faith by speech: This is very simple and straight forward. What one says on a continuous basis eventually come to pass if it was ordained of God. See Lamentations 3:37. The children of Israel kept declaring that they would all be killed in the wilderness and nothing happened for a long time until they provoked God enough to ordain it and it came to pass. The angels assigned to them were thus compelled to enforce the negative words when God eventually ordained it.

Release of faith by Prophetic utterance: A very good example of this could be found in Ezekiel 37:1-11. From this text, we can outline the principles governing prophetic utterance thus:

1.     They are inspired speech by God. God initiated the conversation with the prophet and told him what to say. Ez.37:1-6

2.     They compel the obedience of the person prophesying. Ez. 37:1-6

3.     When you prophesy in obedience to divine promptings, what you say immediately begins to manifest as though God were the one speaking by himself. See Ez.37:7

4.     At the end of the day, what comes out of the entire experience is as a mighty army of victory. Ez.37:8-11

Note here that everything the prophet said came to pass as he spoke them. Prophetic utterances are like taking word bullets and shooting at the target with already stored in a gun. The words become like the gun powder in the gun empowered to cause the desired effect.

As we come to the conclusion of this series, I believe we all now have a basic understanding of how faith works and are willing to put it to work in our lives for our individual benefits. Meanwhile, as ever, the foundation of any faith that would produce is the new birth experience which I fondly refer to as first things first! If you are reading this resource and have not yet made a decision for Christ but desire to do so, you can right away by saying the following prayer out loud and the Holy Spirit will take you up from there and give you eternal life at once:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
