[0:00] Thank you for choosing to listen to this message by Rev. Dr. David Entry on Faith for Living. Faith is what makes a difference in a believer's life. God cannot act beyond your level of faith.

[0:12] But how do you build your faith to live a fulfilled life in Christ? Listen to find out more. I've been teaching for some time now on the second coming of Christ, which I would continue.

[0:23] But I had the strong inspiration and urge to teach the message that God has placed on my heart, in other words, to break the continuum of the teachings on the second coming.

[0:39] I'll continue on that, but I need to teach on subjects as God has led me to do. And I'm teaching, as I told you, what's the title of my message?

[0:53] Faith for Living. All right? Faith for Living. In Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8, it says that, For by grace are ye saved through faith, and not of yourselves.

[1:11] It's not of works, lest any man should build. So by grace have you been saved. I prefer King James. By grace are ye saved.

[1:24] Okay. How? Through the instrumentation of faith. Faith is the medium through which God can help you. Right?

[1:35] So by grace we have been saved. Grace is the act of God. Faith is the act of man based on the word of God.

[1:48] Right? Right? So by grace are ye saved. Through faith, God brings, all right, I think I put it this way some time ago. God sets a table.

[2:00] Grace sets the table, and it takes faith to eat from the table of grace. Grace sets the table of grace. Grace sets the table of grace. Grace sets the table of grace. So faith, kind of, is a currency.

[2:13] You can't say I'm going to China for three days, five months, two weeks, or maybe a day. And you don't know where you're going to live.

[2:26] You don't know anybody there. You don't even have money for the flight. Or if you are going by sea. You don't, you don't, that's, how are you going to go?

[2:40] If someone is going to take you, the person must have money to do that. So money is a currency. It keeps physical things going. Everybody needs money.

[2:53] Everybody needs money. A lot of people are not allowed into their country because of their financial status. It's not based on human rights. It's based on pocket strength.

[3:05] Pocket strength. So you need faith. It's just as you need money to be able to live.

[3:17] Okay. Physically. The Bible says that many people have been deceived thinking that money is the be all. Because actually, actually, the Bible says money answers all things. So physically.

[3:27] But there's something that a certain group of people, they need to be able to live in that status. You know, when I was talking earlier on, I said some of us don't know who we are.

[3:38] You don't know who you are. And you are living below your standard. You are meant to be a prince or a princess. And you are living like a pauper or a beggar.

[3:51] Like the prodigal son. His father had so much resources and money. But he went and eaten the food of pigs. Then he came to himself.

[4:01] He said, why do I even live like this? He said, servants in my home don't even eat this kind of food. This is too low for servants in my home. So why don't I even go and now go as a servant?

[4:13] So at least I can make. So for that son to be able to live like the son of his father, he had to know who he was. So he came to himself.

[4:23] He said, no, I'm not some rubbish guy, you know. At least even if I don't become a son, I know this house. If I go there, my living condition is far better. If he had not come back home with the intentions of becoming a servant or anything, he would have died in that condition.

[4:45] Even though he had the status in him to become a prince or to live like a prince. And so you may have that status, but live below that status.

[4:57] Some of us, the reason why your health is the way it is, is because it's your fault. You are living below covenant status.

[5:13] Who told you God is not a healer? But if God is a healer, why are his people sick? How come someone is coming from Africa and is not sleeping on the street?

[5:32] And you were born in the UK and sleeping on the street? Somebody comes, he has never even seen snow. He just tries to find some money and come and struggle.

[5:44] And he says, he's about to pay rent. But you let me not go too much into that. But the problem is, sometimes you must know what is available and to work for you.

[5:57] And use it. God is a healer. There's no reason why you should remain sick. I said just.

[6:10] Not every human being, but the just. So if human beings live by money, Bible says that the just shall live by faith.

[6:24] So it is your lack of faith that is stripping you of your just status. It is your lack of faith, not your lack of behavior.

[6:38] You can behave well and still suffer badly. Because when it comes to God and what he does with us is faith.

[6:53] Now, when I was teaching on preparing for the second coming of Christ, I spoke about how you should sacrifice and then your stewardship. The third point will be your soul living.

[7:05] You know, soul life. How to deny your soul life. But even that, it takes faith. How can you prepare for the second coming of Christ if you don't have faith? That's right. If you don't have faith.

[7:20] The difference between you and that one, the other person, is faith. Before, not what, in the sight of God. Okay. It's not got to do with your parents.

[7:32] Or your birth certificate. So long as God is concerned, it is faith determined. He said, we are saved by grace through faith.

[7:46] And then once you are saved, you live by faith. Romans chapter 1 verse 17. He said, Let's read it aloud from the screen.

[8:07] Let's go very loudly, please. The just shall live by faith. Let's say the just shall live by faith again.

[8:18] Let's louder. Please say it louder. The just shall live by faith. You need your faith to make a living. In God. Before you start asking, where is God?

[8:33] Ask, where is my faith? You are not qualified. You are most unqualified to ask, where is God?

[8:43] Why God? When you haven't brought faith onto the table. Bring faith and see if God will show up. That's right. That's right. Step out in faith and see if God will let you down.

[8:57] That's right. Wow. Your greatest enemies fear. Yeah. In Luke 8, 48, Jesus said, What are you so fearful?

[9:13] He said, sorry, that's, daughter, your faith. Sorry, it's Matthew 8, 26. In Matthew 8, 26, I'm sorry about that. In Matthew 8, 26, Jesus said to them, Why are you so fearful? Why are you fearful?

[9:25] Oh, you have little faith. But we were in the storm. Who told you the storm is going to take you over? But we were in it. Answer what? But I don't have an answer.

[9:37] But I'm growing. No one is marrying me. Answer what? I have to have a child. Answer what? Who told you it takes sperm count to have a child?

[9:47] Come on. All right. You are preaching. But how many sperm does it take even to fertilize an egg? Only one. And if your own is 2,000, meanwhile, doctors say you need 24 million.

[9:59] Don't worry about it. Yours 2,000 is too much. Too much. You can have 2,000 children. Bishop Doug was saying, he said, One release, one ejaculation from a healthy man can have the whole of China.

[10:22] Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Wow. Yes. Yes. I know three times China. Wow.

[10:33] Sir, you are more than China. I'm telling you. I know. You don't know. I saw a scripture this morning and I thought, copy, copy.

[10:49] This thing is too good. So can I go there before I continue my message? It is too good. Bible says in Hebrews chapter 11, verse 11, that by faith, Sarah herself received strength to conceive.

[11:02] Why? Because, and she was never of a child when she was past age, because she judged God faithful who had promised. But that's not what got my attention.

[11:13] It's the next verse. Okay. Because Abraham was barren, Sarah was barren. And therefore, because of this faith thing of Sarah and Abraham, therefore sprang the evening of one.

[11:25] Now, you understand this properly. So I think it would be good if we go to the New Living Translation, so it can make sense. He was good as dead. Abraham was good as dead. He was dead.

[11:35] And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead. A nation with so many people. That's like the stars in the skies.

[11:47] The man was, they look at him. They said, oh, that's why you don't even have any count at all. Dead. Good as dead. Bible says, Abraham was good as dead. But because of faith, a whole nation came from him.

[12:02] Why are you so fixated on your death situation? Satan will keep keeping your eyes and your attention on the things that won't work.

[12:15] And he'll tell you it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Once God's work come in, don't worry about what is dead. Let God's work come. Receive the word of God. Immediately, supernatural life will be jacked back. I was listening to Papa this morning, Bishop Yedipo.

[12:31] And this morning, life service, in their service, someone came to the service. And this woman was pregnant in Nigeria. And for some weeks, she said about three weeks or something.

[12:42] She's been worried about Nigeria. She probably didn't go to her. She doesn't feel the movement of the baby. Four months. She has not been feeling the movement of the baby. And so, didn't you know this baby is dead?

[12:54] When Papa spoke the word, he said, you are receiving your income. He said, the baby jacked back to life. Baby, the moon. This morning. See, get those who are busy thinking, where is God?

[13:05] Let them keep thinking and just keep believing. Amen. Be busy believing and see if God will show up. I believe God. God will not do anything outside of faith. And he doesn't lose anything, you know.

[13:21] God doesn't lose it. He is. Before we came. So, if we choose not to believe, it doesn't actually change who he is. I don't know. He still is. Huh.

[13:33] Can you imagine maybe an African country that we have decided we won't take any aid from you again? Or maybe the Togolese president has decided that they are not happy with Theresa May.

[13:48] So, they will not allow, they won't even apply for visas again. You know what? We are actually trying to stop you from applying. It doesn't affect our economy.

[14:00] At all. At all. Wow. So, your not believing does not affect God. When you meet people and they tell you they are 80s, don't worry about them.

[14:16] It's their loss. Watch this. What I am trying to help somebody to realize is your life shouldn't, the strength and the sweetness in your Christian life shouldn't only be the life after here.

[14:34] In heaven. No. On earth. Some people will die and go to heaven and you find out what you have missed. Because you didn't walk in faith.

[14:46] There's so much. Listen. We said in the Bible, the Old Testament, God's Bible study. The sun stood still for them. Can I tell you what faith can do?

[14:56] Faith can do so much. Amazing things faith can do for you. One of the things I want you to understand, brothers and sisters, is that we are saved by faith.

[15:07] And the Bible says the just shall live by faith. Romans chapter 1 verse 17. The just shall live by Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4. The just shall live by faith. Galatians chapter 3 verse 11. The just shall live by faith. Hebrews chapter 10 verse 38.

[15:18] The just shall live by faith. It takes faith to continue living. You will marry by faith. You will raise your children by faith. Your work will work by faith. Your health. Listen. Your health. Your health. Your healing will come by faith.

[15:29] Your healing will come by faith. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I am. I'm about to say something. It's just what. It's just so strong in my heart. I want to tell somebody.

[15:41] When I say you know you are the one I'm talking about. I'm very concerned about you. I'm very concerned about your health. Most of you here are very concerned about your health.

[15:52] You are getting worried, increasingly worried about your health. Because the symptoms are beginning to increase. A few nights ago you were so troubled because you were afraid.

[16:07] And some people don't want to even go to the doctors because they know. The diagnosis will not be in their favor. Hey!

[16:18] God is a healer! You can choose to go the normal way, the human way. And maybe to work. There are people who received healing.

[16:30] They didn't have to believe. A lot of other people who died. Then they didn't have to die if they could have believed. So you can choose to go what we...

[16:43] But I am here to submit to you that if God saved you, He didn't only save your spirit. He says that in Romans chapter 8 verse 11, He says that if the spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you, then God by the spirit of God said, But if he who raised Christ, who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also weaken your mortal.

[17:09] Don't tell me, you students, don't tell me nowadays I can't remember. The Holy Ghost will weaken your mortal body. I curse every weakness in your body to go.

[17:22] I curse every weakness in your body to go. I'm feeling so weak. I don't know why. I'm beginning to feel, I can tell, energy, life is draining out of me. Hey! I command life to stay in you.

[17:34] Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! He say he will quicken your physical body. The Holy Ghost will quicken your mortal body. The Holy Ghost!

[17:44] Yes! Amen! He will quicken your mortal body. Amen! Amen! He didn't just save us to leave us. In 1 Peter 2, verse 24, he says that who himself bore our sins on the tree, who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes we are healed.

[18:14] So, you see, our righteous living is also connected to our healing. In other words, if he saved us, they didn't just save your spirit, your body.

[18:26] Salvation comes with a healing package. Yes! Ah! Salvation comes with a health package. Hey, listen to what I'm saying. Brothers and sisters, it is your inheritance, inheritance among the saints.

[18:41] Salvation comes with a health, good health package. And you know, it has been in our family blood, but we too, our family blood of Jesus. Are you not in the royal blood? Yes!

[18:53] Come on! Yes! Say it! We have inherited something from Christ. Yes! Yes! Jesus can't be sick on a hospital bed. No! No way!

[19:06] By whose stripes we were! We were! Say, I was healed! I was healed! No, I am healed! I was healed! So, why are you carrying something that has already gone?

[19:19] By his stripes, we were healed! We were! We were! We were! Pastor! Amen! Amen! By his stripes, we were healed!

[19:32] John chapter, sorry, Matthew chapter 8 verse 26, Jesus told the woman that healing is the bread of the children. Yeah! He said, when you pray, say, give us this daily bread.

[19:44] Healing is the bread of the children. Do you see that? And he said unto them, why are you so, sorry, I've quoted the wrong scripture. Chapter 15, I'm sorry today. Chapter 15, I'm very sorry about that.

[19:56] Matthew 15 verse 26, I should think so. But I answered and said, it's not me to take the children's bread and cast it to their dogs. The woman was coming to ask for healing.

[20:07] Jesus said, the children's bread, I won't give it to that time. She was no in. She was a gentle woman. Or she was not part of the commonwealth of Israel.

[20:19] So he said, I will not take the children's bread. And the woman said, but the dogs eat the crumbs. So even though I understand this, I don't qualify for what you are carrying.

[20:31] The dogs eat the crumbs. And Jesus said, wow. Let's look at the text. Oh, woman, great is your faith. Did you see that? Faith was awake. Jesus answered, woman, great is your faith.

[20:43] But it is, be it unto you as you will. Because you have determined that I'm taking it. Faith, if your faith says yes, I can't say no. Be it as you are with her.

[20:55] But watch that. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. So her faith collected, took delivery of the miracle.

[21:07] That's right. Of the healing. That's right. So here, we can tell that healing is the children. So how much more you who are a child of God? If others can connect by faith, then you a child of God should connect easily as you release your faith.

[21:23] Yes, yes. Your health, the way things are going, if you don't rise up to start declaring some things and working in faith, you know that it doesn't look good.

[21:36] I'm speaking as a prophet. There are several people sitting under the sound of my voice who are very concerned about their health. But some of it you don't even talk about. You are not talking about it. And fear is growing.

[21:48] Fear is growing inside you. Fear is growing inside you. Fear is growing inside you. God sent me to come and set you free from that spirit of fear. And for you to start acting by faith.

[22:05] A woman came to Jesus and she touched him. And she was healed. And Jesus said, Mark chapter 5 verse 34. Jesus said, woman, thy faith has made you whole.

[22:17] Thy faith has made you whole. The same text, Luke chapter 8 verse 48. Your faith has made you whole. Say, your faith is making you whole.

[22:34] Don't be afraid. Someone shout, I believe. I believe. So healing, when you have faith, you have, you can really enjoy health.

[22:51] If you have faith, you can enjoy your health. Jesus said in Matthew chapter 9 verse 29. That be it unto you according to your faith. Not according to. Let. He said, no. He said, your faith is determining your future.

[23:03] That's right. He said, be it unto you. According to your faith, be it unto you. According to your faith, be it unto you. No, according to that pastor's preaching.

[23:16] Some of us, all we want is some things to massage our intellect. We want intellectual reasoning.

[23:28] Reasoning is, oh, okay. But you are done, you know. He said, you are done. You know. There are many churches in our times, and particularly in our country, beloved country, filled with very wonderful exegesis.

[23:44] But faithless preachings. The just shall live by faith. So without faith, the justice died. Please, excuse me.

[24:00] Spare me the details. I don't need the details. I just need the results. Faith.

[24:12] Faith. This morning, somebody's faith is going to work. Amen. Even the way you say amen is a reflection of the kind of faith. And it's not just that faith guarantees healing and good.

[24:32] In fact, I need to throw this text in. Where it says in Proverbs chapter 4, verse 20, 22. It said, my son, attend to my ways. And let them not depart from you. Keep it. It said, let them not depart from thy eyes.

[24:46] Keep them. That's talking about the word of God, okay? Keep them in the midst of your heart. Let's go in verse 22. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

[24:57] You've watched EastEnders and EastEnders and what are those other ones? Coronation. Coronation Street and what? Holy Ox.

[25:11] Kardashians or something like that. Is it Kardashian or Gabinashians? West? Is there West Enders? You think we are in Swedish?

[25:24] West Enders. Watch, watch. East Enders. I, I, it's very interesting.

[25:34] It is. It's very interesting. you surround yourself with all kinds of entertainment. And nothing. Some of us, when you close from church, you sit in your car, junk.

[25:48] Junk music, junk information. Kiss FM. I'm not against Kiss FM. But the way your situation is, you need something that will jack faith into you, will bring faith into you.

[26:02] But if you keep yourself, if you keep yourself sterile of faith-bringing atmosphere, you are, please, don't blame God. That is so working. It's necessary.

[26:18] Keep, do anything you can within your power by the grace of God to keep your faith alive. Keep your faith alive.

[26:30] The devil is a liar. You see, there's a conundrum going on inside you. There's a conundrum. It's like you are caught, you are in a quagmire.

[26:42] You just can't, you know that it's like you are dying. Something is not right. Things are bad. But deep in you, you know too that things are supposed to work. But things are not supposed to work.

[26:54] Things are supposed to work. And there's this constant battle. Things are, it's something your destiny is telling you, it must work. It is ingrained, it's planted in you when you were born.

[27:05] You know the way a child will naturally begin to do some things because they're good at that. It's deep in you. So by destiny, your colorful destiny is attracting you into this wonderful life of health, wonderful life of great, good marriage, wonderful life of, it's deep in you.

[27:25] But because you have lived in this other side for so long and you can tell things are deteriorating, you have accepted it but deep in your heart, deep somewhere, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not mental.

[27:36] It's deep. It's intuitive. Yeah. Deep in your intuition. You know. That is like, that's why what I'm just saying, some of you, it's resonating with your heart.

[27:50] Yes. You're something, it's not your mind. Something in your heart agrees that what this is saying is, I know it's me. If no one believes, I know it's me. I know what he's saying is me. I'm not trying to convince your mind.

[28:02] I'm trying to work you up. There's greatness in your heart. Yes. I see your testimony coming. I see your testimony showing up.

[28:14] In the name of Jesus. Yes. Jesus. Amen. Amen. Jesus. Bible says, not just healing. No, faith does everything for you. Amen. Yes.

[28:25] Bible says in Hebrews chapter 11, verse 33, Bible says that who, by true faith, they, they subdued kingdoms. United kingdom is a kingdom. Yeah. Yeah.

[28:36] By faith, they subdued, they, they subdued kingdoms. Not by skill. No. By faith. By faith. By faith. Through faith, subdued kingdoms.

[28:49] Righteousness. The reason why you are struggling with your righteous life is because of your lack of faith. Because of lack of faith, porn is winning in your life. Hey. Yeah.

[29:00] But people wonder, people will just condemn you. You are doing porn, you are doing porn. You know you hate it. You know you, you're something. But you are, you are so low in faith. So there are things you know, you don't want to do, you keep going there.

[29:11] Faith is so low. By faith, they rot righteousness. They obtain promises. Stop the mouth of lions by faith, not by skill. Lion sees you like meals.

[29:29] You can't raise him with a lion. Because seeing, like you go to Chinese, you are so hungry. You go to this Chinese restaurant, they brought the, whatever. Which one do you like?

[29:40] No. There's no pizza in Chinese restaurant. No. There's no pizza in Chinese restaurant. No. Is there's no risotto in Chinese restaurant.

[29:58] Lasagna. You said lasagna. Ah. I'm talking about... Chinese restaurant, you are talking about lasagna. Hey, who said that?

[30:09] This one is Kadejo. This one is Kadejo. Where is Kadejo? You said that. And you go to this Chinese restaurant and they bring you eat as much as you can.

[30:46] They bring it to you. Wherever you are, which restaurant of your choice, you go there and then they brought you the steak from Nandu's and they brought the food.

[31:01] All right, you go and then they brought the food for you. And what are you supposed to do to the food? Just eat it. If the food begins to tell you, oh, today you look so good.

[31:13] Can you be bothered? You can't be bothered. The food can't tell you that, or maybe the chicken thighs, the KFC gurus here, the chicken thighs tell you, ha, your hair.

[31:25] Oh, which hairdresser did your hair? You can't be bothered because you are so hungry, you want to just eat this thing. You can't reason with a lion because so long as the lion is concerned, you are his favorite meal.

[31:40] A lion is not coming to you for advice. At all. Who through faith stop the mouth of lions.

[31:54] There's something you can come face to face with a destiny lion, marital lion, health lion, financial lion, and by faith, you can stop the mouth of lions.

[32:09] Faith. Verse 35 says, women receive their debt back to life. Somebody say hallelujah. By faith.

[32:22] By faith. Don't sit down for things to just be dying around you. No way. God is the God of the living, not the God of the dead. Don't sit down.

[32:35] Death is not of God. Bible says, who through fear of death has been subject to bondage all their lifetime. Hebrews chapter 2, verse 14. Jesus came to deliver us.

[32:51] There's so much going for you, my darling. But it's just that Satan has kept you busy looking somewhere else. I will lift up my eyes to the hills.

[33:04] From when? From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord. Psalm 1, 2, 1. From 1, 2, 3. I will lift up. So your help is in the name of the Lord.

[33:15] He said, our help is in the name of the Lord. Psalm 1, 24. Who made the heavens and the earth? Verse 7 and 8. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

[33:26] So I want you to know your help. But if the help that is in God, if your help in God is going to come, it requires your faith. Faith can do so much for you, my darling.

[33:39] Get busy building your faith. Let those who mock you, mock you. Later on, they will see you. And they will be asking you, how did you do it? How did you do it?

[33:52] Faith. I just glanced through Hebrews chapter 11. And I saw so much that people have done by faith. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 3. The Bible said, by faith we understand. Why?

[34:05] I don't get what you are saying. Lack of faith. Your faith. Your faith must grow. Let your faith grow. You catch the things of the Spirit easily. We understand that the worlds were framed. Not the world. The worlds.

[34:15] The worlds were framed by the word of God. So the things that do appear were not made by things that are being. That already appear. So things that are seen were not made of things that appear.

[34:27] So what you are not seeing now, it can come easily. You begin to see it because the word, it takes a word to create your world. Thank you, Lord.

[34:39] Thank you. What a word. My God, yeah. So he said, by faith we understand. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 4. He says that by faith, a bell offered. The reason why you are struggling with your offering, thinking the pastor needs your money, is because you don't have faith.

[34:55] Why? Those people who don't tithe, I feel sorry for you, you know. You are missing out. Big time! What people who don't tithe, financially, things don't necessarily go well.

[35:10] Things go. Because if you leave anything naturally, it deteriorates. By faith, a bell offered unto God.

[35:24] Hebrews chapter 4, verse, chapter 11, verse 4. I'm sorry. And Hebrews chapter 11, verse 5. The Bible says, by faith, Enoch was translated. Somebody shout hallelujah.

[35:36] I just want to hold my Bible. I feel like preaching. By faith, Enoch was translated, so he did not see death. By faith.

[35:48] Listen, your faith can do it for you. By faith, Hebrews chapter 11, verse 7. By faith, Noah moved. By faith, Noah moved. By faith, Noah moved. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 8.

[36:00] By faith, Abraham obeyed. Abraham obeyed. Verse 11, Sarah also received strength by faith.

[36:10] That lady received strength. She was so old, but she received strength to conceive. Amen. By faith. These are all functions of faith.

[36:22] Where is your faith, my darling? Where is your faith, my brother? Don't leave the responsibility of your colorful future in the hands of a prophet or a pastor.

[36:35] God puts it in your hands by faith. If you can exercise your faith, if you can take responsibility and step out in faith, things will begin to respond to you. Amen. By faith, Hebrews chapter 11, verse 17.

[36:49] Bible says, by faith, Abraham offered up Isaac. By faith, his only begotten son, whom the promise was attached to, he said, I will still give him to you.

[37:01] By faith, offered up Isaac because he judged God that God accounted by faith, accounting that God was able.

[37:14] It takes faith. It takes faith. Yes, yes. It takes faith. Without faith, sister, without faith, we can't do much about your thinking.

[37:27] No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Abraham offered his best to God. He did it. You see? Your inability to be generous to the things of God is actually a pointer to weakness of faith.

[37:46] Weakness of faith. By faith, he offered up. I like the word he said, up. He offered up Isaac, counting that God was able.

[37:59] He knew by faith God was able. Verse 20, by faith. Isaac blessed. 21, by faith. Jacob blessed. 23, by faith. The parents of Moses hid him.

[38:11] You see, these guys were just acting by faith. They hid him, not fearing the wrath of the king. The king has given an instruction, has passed a law. Any child that is born who is a boy, kill him.

[38:24] The parents, by faith, they've hid the boy without fearing the wrath of the king. By faith. By faith. Verse 24, Bible says, by faith. Moses also, when he was of age, he refused.

[38:38] He refused to be called the prince of Egypt. By faith. He said, me too. No, no, no. I won't be called the prince of Egypt. I won't be called the prince. By faith. I refused to be called the prince of Egypt.

[38:49] By faith. By faith. By faith. And Bible said, he chose to suffer affliction. Interesting. Bible said for Christ. Moses and Christ. Yeah. What did they meet? Verse 24.

[39:03] Give me verse 24. Moses, when he was coming, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, but chose to suffer affliction with the people of God. No, it was in verse 26.

[39:15] Verse 26. Esteeming the reproach of Christ. Great. Moses was esteeming the reproach of Christ. Think about it. Oh, some of you haven't gotten it. Where was Christ?

[39:26] He wasn't born. But he was, when he was, he was rejecting the world. Some of us love the world so much. Love your parties.

[39:38] Love your fun. I don't know why you call it fun. Because actually, yeah, yeah. It's fun. F-A-N. It's finding a lot of good things out of your life. It's blowing good things.

[39:52] By the time you realize, you are left with a few good things. And even the ones left is left over. It's like surplus. It's true. Yes. It's true. You know what I'm talking about is true.

[40:04] Several men have been with you. By the time a good man is showing up, you don't even know how to treat men. And you look older than your age. But I thought you were having fun.

[40:18] Yes. You had a big fun to find good things out of your life. Find the health. Find out. It is finding out your beauty, lady. It is finding out your beauty.

[40:30] Oh. We need everything. Young man. You have done all kinds of nonsense. You have done drugs. You have done porn.

[40:40] You have done alcohol. You have done women. Women. So no woman is with you and is confident that you won't cheat on her. No woman. Every woman last of you have to keep one eye closed.

[40:52] So they develop an eye problem when they are sleeping. When they are sleeping. They have to keep their eye open because of you. On the eyelash. You have found peace. You have found peace out of your relationships.

[41:05] Most of us. I'm telling you by the grace of God. Most of us cannot have decent, peaceful relationships. Because of your so-called fun you were having. Now you have learned all kinds of brutish, brutish, unhealthy stuff that naturally you are skilled.

[41:20] Twisted in a certain way. So when you are in a relationship, you are always thinking negative. You are always behaving funny. And now, now look at you at this age. No one can commit to marriage. You can't find a woman to marry.

[41:34] Because the good ones don't trust you. And the bad ones you don't like. Hey! Wow. Hey! Hey!

[41:52] May I add this? The earlier you pause, the better. Yes. The earlier. The earlier you put a pause on the so-called fun-loving life.

[42:07] Because it's actually lifeless. That's true. it always leaves you empty. Every step leaves you emptier. Every step. So when will you stop this direction?

[42:18] Because every day it's increasingly getting emptier and emptier and emptier. Are you crazy to continue going for Thor cards? You're already surrounded by death.

[42:30] And you keep going and you're thinking that some demons are fighting you. You are the biggest demon in your own life. At your level and with the mess you are in, you shouldn't drive a car on credit.

[42:54] You are trying to impress everybody that you have arrived. You want us to think you have arrived, but we know you are being raised.

[43:06] Yes, yes, yes. You will sleep and sleep and sleep. Instead of pursuing God, you will sleep and sleep.

[43:18] And Sunday morning, 11 a.m., you are now waking up. And you drag yourself into church thinking you have tried. You drag yourself into church, come and sit down, pastor will preach nice message.

[43:30] Your faith is at stake. I'm telling you. You live the faith life and see if you regret. The end is peace. The end is peace.

[43:42] The end is peace. It's like this gentleman, I remember when he told me, when he got born, he said, ah! It pains me I didn't get born again early.

[43:54] He got born again when he was over 40. Over 40 men. No football team can take you. I'm taking you. It's true.

[44:05] But some of you, you haven't realized that you are growing older and older. Satan is luring you with all kinds of traps. He's luring you into trouble.

[44:17] Already, you have operated in fields of trouble for a long time. The time, the only time in your life and your background and destiny where you can jump out of this kind of mess, Satan is luring for another one.

[44:29] Thinking that, oh, it's good. Have you ever seen fish seeing a trap and going for the trap? No. The fish will only see the worm. Doesn't know that inside the worm. Once the worm enters you, it is coming out with your guts.

[44:45] You are hooked. You can't go there. You are hooked. There you are. I tell you, that gentleman crying, the Uber driver who was crying, there was a time he could have done, made things right.

[45:00] It should have saved him this cry. Now you have been brought to your knees. A passenger, you say, please, can you, young girl, and she's even confused. Can you please pray for me? That's how God works.

[45:13] Thank God for that. It's a beautiful testimony. It's a beautiful testimony. Because it's very likely the one you are trying to go out with for marriage.

[45:26] It's about to bite your destiny so bad. You know the way apple, the apple, apple back, the, you are not whole. Something is beating out. It's a sign.

[45:37] It's a sign. And yours, yours is several bites. You are left with your destiny. How many of you have seen young men in the streets of London messing up?

[45:56] Messing up out? What? What? Some of you used to be like that. Now when you look back, you see how horrible you were. How stupid, let me use this, excuse me my language, how stupid you used to be.

[46:12] But at that time, everyone thought, you don't listen to anybody. Hey man, yeah, and some of us still, you have not come to a different phase and still you will not listen. You will not listen because you think life is about fun.

[46:27] Yes, life has a big fun. F-A-N. So, God will forgive you. Life will come together. Now you are in church.

[46:38] You have been preaching, but you could have, should have been preaching with a full apple. Not the iPhone. iPhone, Apple.

[46:53] Is someone getting what I'm trying to say? The reason why I went off this tangent to say this is that some of us, our cravings for the things of the world is so much miserable.

[47:06] It's plunging us into such misery. Not mystery, misery. Misery. Misery. Later on in your life, I, I wish someone told me.

[47:19] That's what I'm telling you. How many of you ladies here used to think that this woman was, this man was an inch, the best thing that has ever happened to your life?

[47:34] You used to, you used to think that this man was the best thing that ever has happened in my family. Ever. Ever. Until the time came.

[47:52] And your juvenile mindset was refurbished. Some of you, if you had known earlier, you didn't have harmed yourself in that relationship.

[48:09] Yes. Because of that relationship, now you are in debt. Wow. Because of that relationship, now you know how to do drugs. Yeah. And you are now struggling, you are in church, but you are still struggling with redrawler syndrome.

[48:23] Syndrome. Wow. Struggling from, you didn't know a lot before you entered that relationship. But they told you. So it will be okay, it will be okay. Listen, don't go into the relationship thinking you will change the person.

[48:36] They are rather going to change you. Thank you. All right, let me finish by faith. Somebody shout faith. Shout faith.

[48:50] By faith, Bible, I like this, I like this, I like this, by faith, they went through the Red Sea. As on dry ground, Hebrews chapter 11, verse 29, by faith, they went through the Red Sea as they were walking by dry ground, dry ground, by faith.

[49:05] Wow. I told you, you can't cross that sea. You don't always need a boat. Oh. That's a serious one. They went through by us on dry ground. By faith, I like this, Bible says that by faith, let me give you two more.

[49:19] Bible says by faith, the walls of Jericho, verse 30, the walls of Jericho came down. The walls that have been built to keep you out, to block you from further, going further, those walls are going to come down.

[49:31] Amen. I see some walls coming down. They have built walls to keep you out, built walls to keep you suffering, built walls to stop you from proceeding further.

[49:47] It's like a barrier. It's like a blockade. But I see those walls coming down by faith. If you believe it, let your aim enjoy it. By faith.

[50:02] I like this. Verse 31 is what made me start all this thing. He said, by faith, Rahab was delivered. Or let's put the other one, not.

[50:12] Rahab was not, did not perish. He perished not. Do you know who Rahab was? She was a practicing prostitute. Not former.

[50:23] She was a practicing, she had, she was running a brothel. She was the madam. She had a home. So, if judgment is coming, if, watch this, watch this, some of you have been taught to, if judgment was coming, it should start with the head of the house.

[50:40] Amen. When they arrested, America targeted El Chippo. Is it Chippo? Yeah. Get him. It will, it will, it will break the ring.

[50:51] Get Bin Laden. And it will dismantle the staff. Get the leader. So, if judgment is coming, it must start with the head. The one who has recruited all these young, young, young, innocent girls.

[51:03] This. She was a dean. Yes, thank you. She was a dean. God mother of prostitution. And so, if perishing was coming, she should be the first one to perish.

[51:16] It could be that because of her, that prostitution trade in Jericho was very high. It was flourishing. It was helping the national economy.

[51:32] The economy was booming. So, God said, these people, I need to get rid of them. And so, it should have started with Rahab. But Bible says, by faith, Rahab did not perish. Hallelujah. By faith, Rahab did not perish.

[51:46] I am here to announce to you, I don't care how messy your past is. By faith, somebody, Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, hallelujah.

[51:59] Hallelujah. I don't care how bad it was, how worse it was. Somebody's about to have the most fantastical marriages. Hallelujah. Shout hallelujah.

[52:13] Hallelujah. By faith, Rahab perish not. Allah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

[52:24] Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. He didn't perish with those who didn't believe. No. Yeah. So, she didn't have to change before she was saved.

[52:38] She just had to act in faith, believe God. I believe. I believe. Listen. What you believe will determine what you become.

[52:49] Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. What you believe. Ah. Ah. That's why Satan has targeted to fight your faith. Ah.

[52:59] Ah. To fight your belief. Ah. Ah. Through all kinds of so-called intellectual exposition. Ah. Exposure. Ah. Ah. Ah. They expose all kinds of, excuse me my language.

[53:10] Ah. Nonsense. Ah. Ah. Ah. Spiritual rubbish. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

[53:21] Ah. Ah. You can make shipwreck of your faith if you are not careful. Don't say that for me. Listen, never have this exaggerated opinion of yourself by saying that for me, I always make up my own mind.

[53:35] You think so? You think so? Nobody has that entitlement in life to always be fully independent. Every decision, Pastor I would say the other time, what is the use of a mind that cannot change?

[53:51] Come on. Every decision anybody makes will be influenced. Every human being.

[54:01] Human beings are so gallible. So susceptible to conditions. I will never go out to a woman like that. You are joking. Let that I will never make you take some steps to keep you away from certain conditions.

[54:18] Because when certain conditions are in place, you will act it without thinking. Yes. Act it. Some of you have slept with all kinds of people without thinking. That's right.

[54:30] Meanwhile, you vowed at me this will never happen to me. Look at you. That's right. You know what I'm talking about. Yes. You knew. Last night you knew it would happen. But what is it?

[54:42] This morning you're already feeling bad. Because last night's hot session. It looks like the thing is somewhere.

[54:53] The thing is somewhere. It's somewhere. If you are not smiling, it makes me feel that it is somewhere there. Hey!

[55:05] Hey! Hey! I feel like preaching. Preaching! Makataradababashakaya! Come on. Come on.

[55:15] Am I doing something to somebody? You are asking my country. What am I doing to you? You are asking my country. What is your blessing in this season?

[55:26] I can see my teacher. Makaradabashakaya! I can see my teacher. Is it not amazing? It's amazing. It's amazing. Is it not fantastic?

[55:38] It's fantastic. Is it not wonderful? Wonderful. What a shock. Malraum!

[56:08] Man! Pastor, by faith, you didn't understand it. It confuses religious guys, experts.

[56:21] That rehab did not perish. How? In our condition. You have committed 17 abortions, and yet you married, and we didn't, anytime you want to, you are having healthy children.

[56:37] You have broken other people's homes. You have caused so much problem, but things are working comfortably for you. How? No, it doesn't work like that because whatever goes around comes around.

[56:51] It doesn't happen like that. So, by nature, by nature, anything that goes up comes down. By nature, it's a natural law, but there is a certain law that supersedes the law of nature.

[57:06] Yes! It's called the law of faith. It's a higher law. It's a higher law. It's a higher law.

[57:17] It's a higher law. Come on. Yes, sir. By faith, Rahab perished not. How? I don't understand. Rahab says, me too.

[57:28] I even don't understand. But how did you escape? I don't know. And people are upset. How can Rahab go? Oh, I'm dying. Rahab, it's because of you.

[57:39] I didn't go to church again. Now, look, I'm dying. Rahab says, sorry. I don't know. I should have been the first to die, but I just believed God. I just believed God for forgiveness.

[57:52] I just believed God for his word. I just believed God to have mercy on me. I just believed God. I believed God. I believed God. I believed God. Have you got anything to say?

[58:04] I believed God. Some of you. You keep saying, Pastor, that's my biggest struggle. My biggest struggle is my faith. My faith is too low.

[58:15] You've got to do something about it. Do something about it and stop entertaining yourself. My faith is too low. When will you grow out of that? Because low faith is going to keep your life low.

[58:27] We fly by faith. We live by faith. We saw by faith. We try by faith. How come you are running out of faith and you are taking it lightly? How can you be running low in blood and your GP is not saying anything?

[58:39] Your blood level is so low. So low. Oxygen level in your blood is practically going, hey, it's an emergency. How can your heart beat?

[58:50] Beats. One every minute. Three. Every minute. No, no, no. No. You can't say. My heart beat has slowed down so much.

[59:02] I don't know where it is. But well, I love my bus driving. So let me just keep. No. You have to pause. Put a pause on everything. And fix that problem.

[59:13] Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you go to the GP. They call you back immediately after blood test. They say, hey. Yeah. Coming. Immediately. And then they say, ah, how did you come? Yeah.

[59:23] But you called me to come. Yeah. But you're not supposed to be working. Why? Please. And they call an ambulance. By the time you get the ambulance, it's ready. Yeah. They have to rush you to theater. Yeah. Yeah. Because everything must stop.

[59:35] Your job. Yeah. You are the chief executive, but you are dying. Oh. Yeah. We have to stop that. Yeah. Oh, my children have to school run. Hey. Your heart is stopping. Your heart is stopping.

[59:45] You are thinking about school run. Wow. Watch this. Most of believers, their suffering is due to faith failure. Like the way people have cardiac arrest. Heart failure.

[59:57] Faith failure. Jesus said to Peter, Peter, Satan has sought to shift you. Some of you feel like Satan is shifting you like wheat. How many of you know what I'm talking about? Satan is bad.

[60:08] Sometimes he can shake you. You feel all the bones in your body are like shaking. You are being shaking. Financial shaking. Relational shaking. Accommodational shaking.

[60:20] Career shaking. Your business has been shaking. It's falling like a house of cards. Luke chapter 20, 22, verse 31.

[60:34] It says that the Lord said, Simon, Simon. Behold, Satan has desired to have you. That he will sit you like wheat. You think Satan is your friend?

[60:46] You keep having fun with him. Keep having fun with him. He's about to poison you and put stone in your bladder. Satan has desired you.

[61:00] He said, I mean, this is the one I want. In your family, if it's well with you, to be well with the others. So you are the one Satan has targeted. Satan has desired to sift you.

[61:11] Jesus said, but Satan, I bang you. He didn't say Satan. I bang you. Come on, Satan. No, Jesus doesn't have time. What did he say? Verse 32. Verse 32. But I have prayed for you.

[61:23] Good. That Satan will not actually know that your faith fails not. Faith failure is the problem. If you have faith failure, it's like the same as heart failure.

[61:34] Because the just shall live. Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 4. It said, the just shall live by his faith. I can't loan my heart to you. You want me to loan you my heart? So what can I move on?

[61:45] How can you be driving on the motor with somebody's headlamps? You need your own headlamps. You do. You need your own headlamps.

[61:59] Don't tell me to borrow you my heart. So many people come to church. My pastor has faith. Listen. My faith is from you. Not even my wife. My faith is from me. Because he said, the just shall live by his faith.

[62:12] Put it there. But the soul shall have a price in him. But the just shall live by what? His faith. Not his father's faith. Not his pastor's faith. Not his teacher's faith.

[62:23] That everyone your own faith. So Peter, Jesus told Peter, I have faith but I can't leave it for you. I pray for you. Not that Satan goes off. Because Satan will never leave you. He will never back off.

[62:35] But once your faith is in place, you can shake Satan off. You can shake Satan off. I pray for you that your faith will not fail. Faith failure is the biggest of all problems in our generation.

[62:47] So if I were you, what would I do? I have to run up now. What would I do? Develop your faith. Pastor, that's true. That's exactly what I was thinking about.

[62:58] How can I develop my faith? I'm going to show you in a few minutes. How to develop your faith. Because faith doesn't come in every day. Don't say, it's like, you can't take a shower today and say, it's okay for the rest of the month or the year.

[63:20] Faith is not like circumcision. Okay. Where you do it once and that's okay. Is someone getting what I'm saying?

[63:36] Yes, yes, yes. Faith is not like, my darling, faith is not like a spare tie. Right. Where in times of crisis, then you pull it out.

[63:47] Yes. No. Faith is the actual engine. Wow. Because you live by faith. Spare time, you only use it.

[63:59] Most of you have spare times you have never even seen. Yeah. And some of you, your spare time is so new. Hey. Yeah. Because your car, you got it from the dealers. I don't know how or what terms, but this is the deal.

[64:14] Too many people are driving cars on loan. Too many. Too many.

[64:26] Too many. Let's stop that sickness. It's a disease, I'm telling you. The big guys know it. Yeah.

[64:38] Stop that disease. Some of you, you don't have a business owning a credit card. You. What are you doing with a credit card? Oh, just to help with my credit rating.

[64:48] So why don't you go and bury it somewhere? Don't use it. It's dead, but don't use it. What is it doing in your wallet? What is credit card? Look at you.

[64:59] Nothing else. Look at you. Look at your condition. Look at the debt you are in. Look at all this confusion around you. And you still have a usable credit card in your wallet? It's not smart.

[65:13] It's not smart. It's not smart. Someone is trying to enslave you, but you haven't realized it. Somebody is trying to enslave you.

[65:26] You are a slave. You can't say you won't be without a job. You can't say you are going to be out of job. Most of you, if you get a chance, you go for a one-month holiday. But how?

[65:38] Your slave master will not allow you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you the truth. By the time is coming.

[65:49] When this whole thing will change, it will turn around. Because somebody is going to begin to act by faith. Quickly, let me just tell you this as I finish. How do you build your faith?

[66:02] Three simple steps I want to give you. Number one step. Bible says faith comes by hearing. Romans chapter 10, verse 17. Faith comes by hearing. And hearing.

[66:12] And I think we should all read it from the screen. Oh, I feel healing in this house. I'm telling you. There's so much healing. I remember this.

[66:23] Before I go to Romans. Can I coach you a text on healing? Because God told me he's going to heal some people today. Bible says that. Sir. Bible says that in Acts chapter 3, verse 16.

[66:35] Peter said that this man has been healed by faith in the name of Jesus. Oh, he said. I like the word Peter. He said. And his name. That's Jesus' name. True faith in his name has made this man strong.

[66:47] Who you all see. Faith in the name makes people whole. In Acts chapter 14, verse 10. Verse 9, sorry.

[66:59] Verse 9 says. How are you? It's nice to see. But verse 9. Acts chapter 14, verse 9. It says that Paul was preaching. And he saw that the man had faith to be. The same heard Paul speaking. Who steadfastly below him and perceiving that he had faith to be healed.

[67:13] Ah. Watch this. So faith can bring you healing. No, no, no. Let's do some logical thinking here. Or logical analysis. It said he had faith to be healed.

[67:27] You see that? He had. Why don't you also develop your faith for your marriage? Instead of moving from one bus to the other. Don't try and snatch somebody's boyfriend.

[67:40] It won't work. It won't work. Use your own faith. Use your faith to get a job. Instead of using your faith to get a lot of different benefits.

[67:53] Use. Use your faith to get a job. A good job. A good job that pays more. Amen. Than you deserve. Amen. Use your faith.

[68:03] Use your faith. He said the man had faith to be healed. Paul saw that. I think God is healing this lady today. Amen. Paul saw that he had faith to be healed.

[68:14] And Paul said to him. Watch that. What happened? This man was hearing this same person. Go to verse 7. Go to verse 7. Go to verse 7. In Listeria.

[68:25] Verse 7. There he preached the gospel. Okay. Sorry. And then they preached the gospel. Go to verse 8. See. And there was a man there. And there sat a certain man at Listeria. Impotent in his feet.

[68:36] Being a cripple from his mother's womb. Who never had walked. That's the man's condition. Yeah. Your condition is not that bad. He never had walked.

[68:46] Go to the next verse. Okay. The same did what? Had Paul. The same did what? Had Paul. The same did what? Had Paul. He had Paul speaking.

[68:57] Where did his faith come from? He heard Paul speaking. Those of you who take missing church as something to write home about. You think you are doing the pastor?

[69:09] Your faith is running low. Some of us. Listen. Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? Yesterday. In fact. On Friday. I was from somewhere in Battle.

[69:20] Stains. All the way going to Birmingham. I ended up spending about five and a half hours on the road. Right. Apart from phone calls. Because my job is very busy.

[69:31] Apart from phone calls. That's why I was telling you earlier on. Yesterday when I was back. I was coming back from Coventry. I was listening to Romans chapter 14. That's when I found out that it's not about.

[69:41] You know what? Versus. I come. Every time. I'm hearing. I'm hearing. This morning I came. They were setting up. I had my small cordless earpiece.

[69:54] My phone was in my pocket. Whilst I was talking to people, I was listening to preaching. That's how I knew what was happening in Winners Chapel. While Papa was preaching. Okay. Because I'm always listening. It's not that I'm a superman.

[70:06] But I've put myself in a place where always the word of God is coming to me. The word is medicine bottle for you. Keep, keep, keep.

[70:17] Some of us, there's no preaching around you. There's no preaching. It's good. You can enjoy the music. Some of us, you don't know the thing. You are playing with the thing. You are joking with the thing.

[70:29] Keep doing that thing. Keep going. Keep going.

[70:45] Keep going with that thing. Keep going. Keep going.

[70:57] Because you are actually denying yourself an opportunity to build your faith. Get the message. And in this church, we don't sell messages. We don't sell messages.

[71:08] We are not that desperate for money. We don't sell messages. It's always available. Free. Download. Listen. Keep listening to the message. Listening to it. When you are in the kitchen cooking. Listening. When you are driving to work.

[71:19] When you are going for an interview. Keep listening. Keep listening. Keep listening. Enough of the Kiss FM. It's good. Maybe you want to listen to the news or something. But afterwards, some of it, some of everybody is calling.

[71:32] You know, that's what I think. I think that every man must shave his hair. I think that LBC and all that. I'm not saying it's bad. But looking at your situation.

[71:45] You know, please. You need some other things getting into you. Because when you are under attack, be careful what is coming into your mind. Check what is coming into your mind.

[71:57] Check what is coming into your mind. Come on. Come on. Check what is. 24-7. Every time. I'm in the bathroom. I'm listening to preaching. I have the portable, whatever.

[72:11] Yeah. Bluetooth speaker. Every day. Everywhere. When I'm moving to, when I'm eye on, it's there. When I go to the kitchen, Pastor always already playing message. And I come in. It's every time.

[72:22] When Acquisic Council is cutting my hair. When I'm not listening, I feel something is wrong. Because why should I just keep my mind blank? Something must go in. Yeah.

[72:33] Because then that's when you begin to think wild. Your mind will be wondering. Is that why did he even say that to me? Why did she say that to me? Maybe she likes me. But my wife would be like that.

[72:44] So, but okay. Maybe I can. Why are you even thinking? You see. You have allowed your mind to be roaming. It helps you with disciplined thinking.

[72:55] So, every time. I'm telling you. That's my ghost man. A lot of pastors don't do half of what I do. As long as going. So, how can you remember scriptures? Pastor, all this morning, when we were coming. Husband and wife.

[73:06] We discussed a lot of things because of the work. She's my immediate assistant. She works so hard. So, there are things she has to bring to her attention. For five days, I've not been away on a retreat. So, she has to catch up with me once.

[73:17] She was talking important things. To tell her. I said. I told her, please. It's okay. Stop it. It's not that she was saying something gibberish. Just basic things about, okay. How about, okay. The care group meetings.

[73:29] I said, you know what? Because I was hearing Bishop Oedipo was preaching. No, Kenecoplan. He was preaching. And just scriptures. And I realized that something was entering me.

[73:42] What this woman is saying? She has to stop. I want this one. So, by the time I came up here, I am charged with superlapse. I'm telling you.

[73:53] I know somebody is going to be healed today. I know it. I know it. I know it. Faith comes by hearing. Faith comes by hearing.

[74:07] Keep hearing gospel. You know, ask for me. This kind of preaching is too long. You need longer ones because of the situation. That's longer one. Because of the situation, you need a longer one.

[74:21] Hey. So, faith comes. This man heard Paul preaching. And he had faith to be healed. And he has never walked from his mother's womb. But from that day, he received his healing.

[74:31] Paul said, get up and walk. He started walking. Why? Because his faith was ready. He heard Paul preaching. Faith comes by hearing. Hear God's word. Hear God's word. Listen to God's word.

[74:42] Listen to God's word. Listen to God's word. The way your life has been a big, long period of fun, entertainment. Now, start developing something else.

[74:53] Start developing something else. Develop your faith. Tell somebody, develop your faith. Number two. I have to stop in two minutes. Number two. How does faith come?

[75:04] Number two. Hmm. I taught you something sometime ago. It's called homologia. Speak to God's word. Speak to God's word. It's called confession.

[75:14] Say confession. Confession. Romans 10.10 says that, for with the heart man believes, with the mouth confession.

[75:25] Romans 10.10, with the mouth confession. Let's start reading out from the screen. Let's go. For with the heart. Please do me a favor. We are talking about confession. So you need to speak. Speak.

[75:35] Let's go. Louder. For with the heart man believes. Unto righteousness. And with the mouth confession is made unto. So that means you can believe unto righteousness.

[75:47] God has accepted you. But if you don't confess, the expectation will not show. Manifestation. You have to confess unto.

[75:58] And the Greek word translated confession, confession is homologia. How many of you are familiar with the prefix, that word, homo? Yes.

[76:08] You can't live in UK without knowing homo. It's a flagship name, a term, word, homo.

[76:23] And then you can add anything you want to add to it. So homo means same. So when we say homo, sexual means same sex.

[76:39] All right? Homosexual means same sex. All right. So homo means same. And we have logia, logic.

[76:52] Log, logia, logos is the Greek word for word. Word. In the beginning was the word. In the beginning was the logos. When we talk about logos, we get the derivation is like logic comes from logos.

[77:07] So word, the same estimation, mindset. Thinking, logic, reason. Jesus, the Bible said in the beginning was the word. So in the beginning was the reason, logic behind everything.

[77:19] All right. So logos means word, reason. That's where we get, that's where we have the word. Someone was giving me a sexy eye.

[77:33] No, listen. Sorry. Listen. Let's finish this. Logos. All right. So that's where we get like biology.

[77:46] Bios is living things. Logic. The reason why living things behave like that. Biology. Okay. Theology. Theos is God.

[77:56] Logic. The reason behind God are things like reasoning. So the logic. Logic has to do with steady or reason. Okay. So when we say same logic, same word.

[78:08] So confession is same saying. Same word. So when they say confess, there must be something that what you are saying is in line with.

[78:19] Must be in line. You must say something same as something that already said. So confession is not trying to think about tingy tanga, tingy tanga.

[78:30] No, no. It's not confession. It's not confession. Is it fee, fo, fum, fum? So same. So when we say logic.

[78:42] Okay. Sorry. Confession. Homologia. Say same. Same what? What God has said. So God has said so you can say. So when God says something, you are supposed to say it.

[78:55] When the doctor says you are dying, find where the Bible says that I shall not die and say that one. Say that one. Say what God has said.

[79:07] Don't say what they are saying. Mark chapter 11, verse 22. It said last week, your text. Have faith in God. Have faith in God.

[79:18] Okay. Now look at verse 23. Amazing. It said, for verily I say unto you, that whosoever, say whosoever. Whosoever. Including Rahab. God works with whosoever.

[79:31] Let those who are judging get busy judging. While God is just working with whosoever. For whosoever shall say. Say, say. Say. Say unto this mountain.

[79:42] Be that removed. And be cast into the sea. And shall not doubt in his heart. But shall believe that those things which he sayeth. Shall come to pass.

[79:55] He shall have whatever he sayeth. Say it. Not whatever he thinketh. What you are saying. Satan won't stop harassing you till he hears you say.

[80:09] Say it. Satan came to Jesus. Jesus. He spoke to Jesus. Jesus spoke back to him. It is written. It came again and spoke. Jesus spoke back. Jesus was homologizing.

[80:20] He was quoting what God has said. It is written. Saying same as God has said. And then Satan came again. Satan still tried to homologize. Also came and said the word of God. Jesus said. It is written again. And Bible says.

[80:31] And Satan. The devil leaveth him alone. For a season. Satan can leave people. But until you say it. He can't leave you. What's the point here?

[80:42] I know you don't feel well. I know you are feeling very weak. But what has God said? God said. By his stripes.

[80:52] I am healed. So don't keep going around. I am sick. The doctors say. I will die in two weeks. The doctors are saying that. Maybe this thing. If it is not checked. Normally that's how it is.

[81:03] Doctors are saying. What are you saying? What are you saying? What are you saying? Stop saying what. The economists are saying. Stop saying what the forecast is saying.

[81:16] I am not saying deny it. Yeah. It is one fact. But there is a superior fact. Which God has said already. Find out what. Begin to say. Begin to say. And that will become your reality. Say what God has said.

[81:27] And I. And he shall have whatsoever. He said. What did he say? He shall have whatsoever. God said. Whatever you are saying. Is what you have. Not what God is saying.

[81:39] Not what God is saying. So God can say one thing. And something else will be happening in your life. You have what you say. Say. It's called homologia.

[81:50] Speak the word. Homologia. Speak the word. Homologia. Speak the word. Speak the word. And then finally. Developing your faith. Step out in faith.

[82:03] Act in faith. Don't say I'm afraid. Come on. Get out. Step out of the boat. Hereby stormy.

[82:14] Step out of the boat. Don't do it because of presumption. But do it because God has said it. That's right. That's right. Just obey God and step out. Bible says by faith.

[82:25] Abraham obeyed. By faith. Noah. Hebrews 11. 7. By faith. Noah. Moved. When he was instructed. Moved. Move.

[82:36] Move. Don't sit down and say. Well I believe in my heart. Sorry. Sorry. You believe in your heart. Say it and start acting. Right. Right. Anyone with a bottle of water?

[82:49] Nobody. Thank you. Is there a bottle of water? That's juice. That's juice. That's juice. That's juice. That's juice. I'm thirsty.

[83:02] I need water. I'm thirsty. You are dehydrated. What do you need? Water. Oh God. Someone help me. Water. Show me where there's water. Where's water?

[83:13] Oh. Oh. Oh. Finally. Oh. Water. Water. Oh. Water. Hey. I'm thirsty. Oh.

[83:24] Water. Water. Oh. I'm thirsty. despise. Two Jacob's. Water. I'm thirsty. pronouncedς.

[83:35] I'm thirsty. Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. There's water.

[83:47] Water. Water. Water. Ah. Hey. Let's go. Water. Water.

[83:57] and you die of thirst. And the water is waiting. You are dying of thirst.

[84:11] As soon as she sees the water, water, stop talking. Forget about everybody. Before you start talking to people. Before you start doing the party.

[84:24] You are throwing a big party. Over water you have not drank. Step out. Peter said, Is that you?

[84:37] Jesus said, fear not. For it is I. Matthew chapter 14. Verse 28, I'm done. It is I. Peter said, Lord.

[84:48] Verse 29. If it is you, bid me to come. I receive it. Lord.

[85:02] Lord. If it's you, please tell me I need the word from you. Don't jump into the high seas without a word from God.

[85:16] This is a word. This is a word. Because others are doing it. You're also doing it. And you slap faith on it. Meanwhile, you know. You know.

[85:28] You're having heard from God in your heart. Be convinced. Or receive God's word in your heart. And believe it in your heart. Before you start acting. But once you believe it, don't stay there and say, What?

[85:43] Act. You see. Doctor said, Very soon, they have to chop off my leg. Because, I can't walk. Every, I can't walk.

[85:53] You're telling everybody. We know that. But what does God say? God said you are healed. So, instead of sitting constantly in that wheelchair, every time, just get up, start walking, and you fall. But, you know, I can't walk.

[86:06] You know, you fall. But, what? Get up. Do something. Do something. Do something. So, Peter jumped on the seaside walking. And he looked at the conditions. He started sinking.

[86:18] He screamed and said, Jesus, Lord, save me. He just took him. He said, Why did you doubt? With faith, you can walk on the water. I want to tell somebody, until you step out of the boat, you may die in fear.

[86:36] Step out. And God will never allow you to sink. If he told you, and you are acting. Pay your tithe. Pay your tithe.

[86:50] Pay your tithe. See if God cannot, will not help you, gently come out of debt. Close the black water now.

[87:02] And God will bless you with a good man. Basket never collects water. Don't put juice in basket.

[87:22] So, close the tunnel. I'm talking to a certain lady here. In your desperation to get married, you have made yourself a cheap victim.

[87:36] Why don't you focus on God? Trust God. Come to church. Stay in church. Read your Bible. Be genuine. Be faithful to God. And walk with God.

[87:46] And see. He said, I've been young. And now I'm old. Never have I seen the righteous forsaken. The only seed beg for bread. God said, my people shall never be finished. Have you got anything to say?

[88:06] I believe God. There's a man who came to Jesus. Jesus said that, if you believe, all things are possible. Mark 3, 9. Mark 9, 23. Jesus said, if you believe, all things are possible.

[88:20] Did you hear that? That's a serious one. You see, you think God hasn't done anything. You haven't believed enough. Wow. Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him.

[88:33] And then the man said, Lord, I believe. Verse 24. Lord, I believe. But he realized that his faith was low. So he shouted, said, Lord, help my unbelief. With tears. Lord, I believe.

[88:44] Help my unbelief. I want to pray for you. Listen. You think things have gotten out of hands. It's a lie. The best is yet to come.

[88:55] Amen. The best is yet to come. It's a lie. Don't give up. Don't give up on God. Don't give up on your faith. Don't be too smart and smart yourself out of church.

[89:08] It will hurt you. You'll go and realize that that's all you've always needed. Believe in God. Jesus said, let not your heart be troubled. John 14, 1.

[89:20] Believe in God. Believe also in me. Believe in God. There's somebody here that devil has suggested too much to you. He told you all kinds of things.

[89:30] Your marriage will never work. Your health will never be okay. Your finances will never be together. Your relationship won't work. Everything is that. Your house, they will repossess your house. Your car will crash. You will not be able to pay for any insurance again in your life.

[89:43] Everything is that. So many things. Listen. Listen. You won't get a job. You won't get a better job. You will never secure a good job. You won't get any contract again. Hey, hey. Shut him out.

[89:55] Put your faith in God. Find out what God is saying. Start to act by faith. Surround yourself with good word of God. Okay? Are you listening to me? Surround yourself with the word of God.

[90:07] And just keep, have a stubborn faith in God. Believe into death. Believe God. Even if it's killing you, just keep believing God and see if you will not live.

[90:17] Because they just don't die. They live by faith. They live by faith. Walk by faith. We walk by faith and not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5, verse 7. It says, for we walk by faith and not by sight.

[90:30] We walk by faith and not by sight. There is somebody here. God is actually personally changing everything around your life. That's why he sent you here.

[90:41] I'm a prophet. People are receiving healing right now. Some of you, by the end of the service, that pain has gone. That swollenness has gone. That lamp has dissolved.

[90:51] Tomorrow, some of you, go back to their doctors tomorrow. This week, book an appointment. No, Tuesday. Book an appointment. Go back again for another examination. You will be pleasantly surprised that God has taken care of that sickness in the name of Jesus.

[91:06] This week, an email is coming. This week, this week, a letter is coming. This week, a message is coming. This week, a phone call is coming. I see somebody's miracle coming.

[91:18] I see somebody's breakthrough coming. I see somebody's blessing coming. In the name of Jesus. So shall it be. Please bow your head.

[91:30] You want to, I want to pray for a very special group of people here. You want to say, Pastor, please pray with me. I want to believe in Jesus. I want to surrender to Jesus and believe in him with all my heart.

[91:44] Don't fix your mind on what people think. Fix your mind on what you know your destiny is calling you for. I'm talking to somebody's destiny. I'm standing on the mountain and I've seen your destiny shining but you are in the valley and I'm calling you.

[91:59] I'm calling the giant in you. Awake! Awake! But you're looking around you thinking some about what others will think about. It's not necessary. This time it's between you and God.

[92:11] The just shall live by his faith. Not what others think by your faith. You are here you want to say, Pastor, pray with me. I want to be born again. I want to start afresh with Jesus and put all my faith in Jesus.

[92:24] I believe God will help me and I want to start afresh and serve God by faith. God bless you. It's a new day. It's a new start. Please lift up your two hands as a sign of surrender and say this after me.

[92:35] Say, Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I've sinned against you. I haven't lived by faith. I haven't walked by faith. But today, I repent from all my sins because I believe you died on the cross to save me from my sins.

[92:54] Please wash me with your blood and I make a commitment that I will save you. So I invite you into my heart to be my Lord and my Savior.

[93:05] I will save you. I will save you. I will walk by faith to your glory. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen. Father, I thank you for my precious friends here.

[93:18] They heard your voice. It's not everyone who hears who honors you, but they heard your voice and have honored you with a step. I pray, help them to be strong in faith. Help them to grow strong.

[93:29] Help them saturate and surround them with testimonies. Bless them. I thank you in Jesus' name. Amen. We thank God for using his servant, Reverend Dr. David Entry, to share this awesome word.
