Introduction

The content of this book are messages of divine revelation by the Holy Spirit. ‘Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God ‘(Romans 10:17). Every issue in our lives has a scripture, the Seed-word of God has been given to make your life fruitful.

Faith is the key to unlock possibilities with God. His word becomes the mirror by which we see possibilities. We need the eyes of faith for all that God promised through covenant since the time of Abraham the father of faith. I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. - Psalm 89:34. Your eyes must see your future through the word of covenant. God asked Abraham to lift up his eyes and see the four corners of the earth he will give to him and his descendants (Genesis 13:14).

In this sermon, I gave insights of the faith in Christ Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith and redeemer. By His accomplishments we are assured of victory and deliverance. Ten leper were to go and show themselves to the priest and on their way only one saw that he was healed. He returned to the Lord and gave thanks. His eyes of faith possessed the healing may the other nine were still looking at the scares on their skin.

Believers experience storms at a time which shakes their faith. Storms are circumstances out of our control just like the weather storm it’s a natural occurrence which only supernatural can override. Whatever storm you find yourself you are not alone, though there are many options in the world of today,as a believer you don’t have to be afraid for two reasons, firstly, Jesus says Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 18:18).

What you say to your storm is what heaven endorses, understand you are not alone. Secondly, you are an overcomer, whatever is born of God overcome the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4). Storms can prolong for a while and disturbing but when your faith in the Lord is firm it will subside and seize. You shall overcome all that rises like a storm in your life.

The season has come again when the word of God shall prevail, in the world of today many things compete for our trust in God. Economic and social oppression has detracted some believers to look for different means to breakthrough. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. (Psalm 125:1). The sermon is given to reveal the love of God and his will to see us prosper and to live in good health. Receiving the word with faith gives rest and Jesus is our rest because of His grace on our lives. Therefore we can breakthrough in all aspects of life with rest in the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe this book will bless you and give you hope, it shall be your company and personal resource in addition to your Holy Bible. Fruitful sermon is prophetic and teaches possibility from the almighty God.

Amen

Chapter 1

THE EYES OF FAITH

God speaks through His word, his voice can be audible but He’s invincible because He’s spirit. (John 4:24). The word of God is His assurance and the basis of our beliefs. The word of God is his faithfulness if you believe and have faith to see what He promises. Ephesians 1:13 says "In him you also,when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation and believed in him, were sealed with Holy Spirit". All He has pledged is by the Spirit, it is required of us to walk by the Spirit because when God speaks to man audibly or by vision it takes place in the spirit before it manifests in the physical; in days; months and years. For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 2:11).

The currency to partake of Blessed transaction is Faith. The Eyes of Faith. In other word, faith is the beholder of what we hoped for and believed to receive. As you have entered the year 2016, your faith in God must be alive to possess the best of the year and what you hoped to achieve. What then is faith ? I want to illustrate from two versions of Bible. New American Standard Bible (NASB), Faith is ‘The substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen’

English Standard Version (ESV) puts it as Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1.

Faith is a powerful substance that draws the future into the present, The ability to perceive the fact which is not yet revealed to the senses. It is a law of the spirit that you should live by.

In the Epistle to Ephesians Apostle Paul gave thanks for the new believers and prayed God to give them the Spirit of Wisdom and of revelation of him, having the eyes of their hearts enlightened, to know what is the hope of their calling and riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, the immeasurable greatness of his power toward them who believe.(Ephesians 1:16-19). Faith in God is power to you who believes, and hear the word of his promise.

In the context of this sermon I am going to teach faith as a spiritual strength; as a light to see where you are going with the determination to build your ark before the flood comes, before your old age comes there are wisdom that the Spirit of God delivers to our hearing. Faith is the substance with which you prepare to see wonders in your life. For someone who believes God for a car, your faith can make you to begin to build a garage though you have not bought a single car, because, faith says it exists. In my humble testimony, in 2002 I began a personal building which is about five rooms and three receptions but my family was small and having child bearing difficulties in our marriage. My eyes of faith didn’t fail me I continued the project,10 years later the family has increased to five. Faith is a substance a believer must apply in all situations. The righteous shall live by faith (Galatians 3;11)

Hebrews 11:7 "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of household’

By faith you can prepare for things before the storm comes, when you hear revelations and testimonies. Also,Jesus became the ark of our salvation by faith wherein all things are possible. He has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us,for it is written cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" Galatians 3:13. He took the position of your downfall so that you may rise to abundant life.

Faith prepares you for your covenant rights, the promise which God made in covenant with Abraham ‘In thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed’ That Seed is Christ Jesus and you’re in Him, so it takes faith to access the covenant with the principles that has been revealed.

It’s takes the eye of faith to see the manifestation of God’s promises and see yourself in a new dimensions of victory by receiving with faith what has been denied of you which is now freely obtainable through the accomplished work of Jesus Christ.

God said to Abram Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you. So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord." Genesis 13:14

Obviously, Abram later known as Abraham did not touch the four corners of the earth, neither did he step into them all, but he saw it with the eye of faith and moved as God said. You may have a big vision like the map of the world, your eyes of faith must see it today, from the position you are: your one man business can become 100 men business? From small church you can become the mega church with influence all over the world.

It takes faith! The spiritual eyes that sees beyond the present! Like Planning the future that is not yet seen to the ordinary eyes, that is faith. The bible says For we walk by faith, not by sight 2Corinthians 5:7. The Eye of Faith sees the picture of what you belief God can make possible for you and your family, Career and healings. You will harm yourself and be depressed if you focus on what is going on and what people say negatively. The Bible said ‘He who observe the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap" Ecclesiastes 11:4. I can say that, in the things of faith, don’t look at your age but follow the inspiration of the holy Spirit. The seed you sow today may bring the harvest that will last beyond your generation.
