THE WORTH OF FAITH! (FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST) best inspirational gospel message. #inspirational gospel quote

    THE WORTH OF FAITH!
                    (FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST)

When I speak about "The Worth Of Faith" am taking about:
👉 The Value of Faith.
👉 The Quality of Faith.
👉 The Potentiality of Faith.
👉 Faith's Capacity and Capability.
👉 Faith's Importance and Significance.

📖1 Cor 13:2
"...faith... that... remove mountains..."

However, it should be crystal clear that am not dealing with Faith as a PRINCIPLE, as most "confused" motivational speakers make it out to be. Am dealing with FAITH here in the FACE of a PERSON: JESUS CHRIST!

Apostle Paul said:
📖Gal 2:20 "...I live by the FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD..."

So any faith that is discussed OUTSIDE the Person of JESUS CHRIST is a pseudo (fake) faith. It's a faith without a solid foundation. Our FAITH, which is IN JESUS, is one with an EVERLASTING FOUNDATION. It is a FAITH with ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE; a FAITH with ETERNAL VALUE.

You must understand that
📝 JESUS' GREATEST "OBSESSION" IS TO BE BELIEVED!

📖John 14:10  "BELIEVEST THOU NOT that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me?..."

See the conversation between Evangelist Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch:
📖Acts 8:37 And Philip said, IF THOU BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

🔊 HEAR THE WORDS OF JESUS:
📖John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. BELIEVEST THOU THIS?

See the way NIV puts it:
NIV:and whoever LIVES BY BELIEVING IN ME will never die. Do you believe this?”

In other words, GOD expects us to LIVE BY BELIEVING IN JESUS! That's the New Testament way to live.

📖Rom 1:17 "the Just (God's Righteous Ones) shall LIVE by Faith"

📖Gal 3:11 "the Just (God's Righteous Ones) shall LIVE by Faith"

📖Heb 10:38 "the Just (God's Righteous Ones) shall LIVE by Faith"

When you hear or see the Holy Ghost repeating things like these, it's not because He's a STAMMERER, it's for the PURPOSE OF EMPHASIS.

The NEW CREATION is not expected to live by his FEELINGS but by FAITH.

📖2 Cor 5:7 "For we WALK by faith not by sight (sensory perception)"!

              ✒ What TYPE / KIND of Faith?

I need to buttress this point enough to make it sink into your mind that it is not about Faith in "faith" but FAITH IN JESUS!

📖Eph 1:15-16 "...after I heard of your FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS... I ceased not to give thanks..."

If your faith is not in the Lord Jesus you are on a long thing. You are on the path of DESTRUCTION. Remember that it was your FAITH IN JESUS that got you SAVED in the first place, therefore, it is preposterous to be SAVED by FAITH IN JESUS and SURVIVE BY FAITH IN MATERIAL OBJECTS like,  mantles and spiritual perfumes and Olive oil, etc, all in the name of "spiritual work".

Hear what THE SPIRIT is saying to you now:
📖1 Corinthians 10:21 YE CANNOT drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: YE CANNOT be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 10:22 Do we PROVOKE the LORD to JEALOUSY? are we stronger than he?

BELIEVING CONTINUOUSLY IN JESUS even in the Face of Seeming Challenges is what GOD counts for a right standing (qualification) worthy of His attention.

📖1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may CONTINUE TO BE BELIEVE on the NAME of the Son of God.

Beloved, there's something attached to "NOT believing continuously in JESUS", it's called DESTRUCTION!

📖Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having SAVED the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward DESTROYED THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT.

Apostle Paul said:
📖Colossians 2:6 AS ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him:

In other words, the same way you received CHRIST as LORD that's the same way you should walk (function and operate) now that you are IN HIM.

           ✒ HOW did you RECEIVE the LORD?

By BELIEVING, of course!
📖John 1:12 But as many as RECEIVED HIM, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON HIS NAME

📖1 John 5:1 "WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Christ IS BORN OF GOD..."

This is why Apostle Paul was FURIOUS with the Church at Galatia, they had started out their Christian Walk by BELIEVING solely IN JESUS but had later continued in JUDAIC (MOSAIC) PRACTICES that was CONTRARY to the FINISHED WORK of CHRIST.

📖Galatians 3:1
O FOOLISH Galatians, WHO hath BEWITCHED you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 3:2 This only would I learn of you, RECEIVED ye the Spirit BY the WORKS of the LAW, or BY the HEARING OF FAITH? 3:3 Are ye SO FOOLISH? having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT, are ye NOW made PERFECT BY THE FLESH?

Who said its wrong for a Pastor to be angry with his congregation or sound abusive when they are circumventing JESUS because of the pressures of this world? My only answer is re-read that scripture 👆 and use your tongue to count your teeth!

Satan has ANOINTED (ORDAINED) certain men and women to INVADE the Body of Christ with "another gospel" which is not another (because there is only one Gospel and that is the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST)

📖Jude 1:4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ORDAINED to this condemnation, UNGODLY MEN, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and DENYING the ONLY LORD GOD, Who is our Lord JESUS CHRIST.

In the next verse Apostle JUDE explains the DANGERS of not Continuing To Believe. He had to remind them because it is easy to forget that when there is no continuity in your believing with regards to JESUS you are EXPOSED to all of Satan's assaults.👇

📖Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, HAVING SAVED the people out of the land of Egypt, AFTERWARD DESTROYED them that BELIEVED NOT.

Are you thinking this is a joke? Or that this is not in SYNC with the NEW Testament ORDER of things? Wait Na, I still dey bring am you say e too much

See Bible ooooooooooo 👇
📖Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear (stand in awe, exhibiting reverence with sensitivity), lest (otherwise), a PROMISE being left us of ENTERING into his rest, ANY OF YOU should seem to COME SHORT of it. 4:2 For (because) unto US (New Creation) was the GOSPEL PREACHED, as well as unto them (Old Testament patriarchs and saints): but the WORD PREACHED did NOT PROFIT them, NOT being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it.
(Emphasis Mine)

          ✒ So, What's The WORTH Of FAITH?

Apostle Paul enumerating on the ARMOUR OF GOD in the Sixth chapter of the book of Ephesians emphasized strongly on the Worth Of Faith:

📖Ephesians 6:16 ABOVE ALL, TAKING the SHIELD of faith, wherewith ye shall be ABLE to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked.

1⃣ FAITH IN JESUS Is Of UTMOST IMPORTANCE
🔑* Phrase: "Above All"

📖Hebrews 11:6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE HIM: for he that COMETH to God MUST BELIEVE that he is..."

If you MUST have and maintain your access to God FAITH IN JESUS is a MUST.

If you MUST receive from and experience Him in His Fullness, FAITH IN JESUS is a MUST!

God's Highest Requirement is to:
👉 BELIEVE IN JESUS

📖John 6:40 And this is the WILL (desire and requirement) of HIM that sent ME (JESUS), that EVERY ONE which SEETH THE SON, and BELIEVETH ON HIM, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (See 📖John 3:16)

2⃣ FAITH IN JESUS Is A RIGHTEOUS RESPONSIBILITY!
🔑 *Word: "Taking"

It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY as a BELIEVER to CONTINUE TO BELIEVE in JESUS.

Make up your mind to believe and continue to believe in JESUS. Challenges are normal but you ought to confront them with an "abnormal" sense of faith:

📖2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, and AM PERSUADED that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Refuse to Live in UNCERTAINTY. It is not a REALM for BELIEVERS because it is a REALM of UNPRODUCTIVITY.

UNCERTAINTY (not being sure about how your life will turn out) is both a WRONG CONCEPT and a WRONG CONSCIOUSNESS. Don't imbibe it!

POSSIBILITY is the "Garden Of Eden" to the BELIEVER. 📖Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to HIM THAT BELIEVETH.

DOUBT is a product of UNCERTAINTY and PROLONGED ADHERENCE to the VOICES OF UNCERTAINTY is the MOTHER of UNBELIEF!

As a CHRISTIAN, your TRUE VALUE comes alive when you ACCEPT what JESUS has accomplished for you and BELIEVE who JESUS says He is.

Since HE'S your SHEPHERD, you shall NEVER want.
📖Psa 23:1

📖Psa 85:12 says "Yea, the LORD (JESUS CHRIST) will give that which is GOOD..."

Wake up daily with EXPECTANCY not UNCERTAINTY; that's both PREPOSTEROUS and DANGEROUS.

3⃣ FAITH IN JESUS Is God's DEFENSE MECHANISM
🔑* Word: "Shield"

Apostle Peter speaking by the Spirit, exposing the nocturnal activities of the devil stated that:

📖1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

👉 The Identity of our true enemy
"your adversary the devil"
👉 The Mobility of our enemy
"walketh about"
👉 The Activity of our enemy
"seeking whom he may devour"

But see what the Spirit gave as a MECHANISM for KEEPING Satan AT BAY:

📖1 Peter 5:9
"Whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH..."

Our DEFENSE MECHANISM in the New Testament is not necessarily PRAYER, because you can pray without believing but when you BELIEVE and express it through PRAYER then DEFENSE is ACTIVATED.
📖Mark 11:24

4⃣ FAITH IN JESUS Is A CONTAINER Of GOD'S ABILITIES! 🔑* Word: "Able"

Once you BELIEVE, you are ENABLED. The more you continue to believe in JESUS, even in the face of difficult situations, the more enabled you are to OVERTHROW and SURMOUNT them.

As soon as you BELIEVE, ABILITY is handed over to you.
👉 Ability to be anything,
👉 Ability to do anything and
👉 Ability to receive anything,
So long as CHRIST is the Focus and Center of your Believing.

The GOSPEL Of CHRIST is the POWER OF GOD... that's where GOD'S abilities are domiciled.
📖Rom 1:16 "...the Gospel of CHRIST... Power of GOD..."

However, those ABILITIES are only ACTIVATED when a person BELIEVES as he listens to its dispensation.

📖1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye RECEIVED the WORD OF GOD which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, WHICH EFFECTUALLY WORKETH also IN YOU THAT BELIEVE.

5⃣ FAITH IN JESUS Is A QUENCHER!
🔑* Word: "Quench"

By Quencher I mean:
👉 Silencer
👉 Neutralizer
👉 Extinguisher

Every time you Want to shut the devil up and collapse all his activities and bring his operations to a permanent halt, just release your FAITH IN JESUS, by decreeing and declaring, using the NAME OF JESUS!

The devil likes to INTIMIDATE and HUMILIATE those who are QUIET; those who REFUSE to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER (📖Luke 10:19)

📖Psalms 35:20  For they (the enemies) speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters AGAINST THEM THAT ARE QUIET IN THE LAND.

Refuse to VACILLATE because of pressure. Mount up with wings as Eagles and COMMAND THINGS to move in your favour IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

As soon as the situation hears the NAME OF JESUS they MUST hit the ground with their knees. They are obligated to SURRENDER and SUCCUMB to THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!

LEARN to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the NAME OF JESUS.... That's what EXERCISING FAITH means! That's the "Good Fight of Faith".
