TOPIC: FAITH – SEEING THE OUTCOME FROM THE BEGINNING
SCRIPTURE: By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:27
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you can see it ahead, no devil can stop you here.
Sometime ago, someone asked me, “When you were stepping into Ministry, what alternative plan did you have just in case the Ministry did not work?” I told the person, there was no alternative plan because that was practically out of the picture whether it was in the day or in the night. I told him, “Anywhere you see God ask him, ‘This Your boy, Paul Enenche, did it cross his mind one day that the Ministry would not work?’”
No! Not even in the dream. It over-worked even before we started. I knew we would preach to crowds around the world. We moved with absolute conviction and faith in God that it would work. In a rare demonstration of such faith, we put chairs for overflow in the Area 1 church even before the main sanctuary was filled. We started running five services when three services were not yet fully filled. The first service was filled to under the gallery. The second service was filled up to the gallery, and then, the third service was halfway filled.
Then one day, I came from the UK and announced five services because God said it, and I had Scriptures to back it.
The first Sunday of the five services, the sanctuary was filled to capacity in all the services, apart from the last one. We continued until we started having six services.
That is what faith is all about. It is seeing the outcome from the outset through the Word. You don’t have one Naira yet, but you know you will have plenty money that will build churches because you saw it in the Word.
Faith is seeing the realities of the invisible beyond the uncertainties of the visible. That is, what you cannot see physically is real to you. You are more moved by what you cannot see than what you can see (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). That is faith!
Beloved, if you can see it ahead, no devil can stop you here.
Remember this: If you can see it ahead, no devil can stop you here.
