TOPIC: Victorious Faith (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 8 May 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 20, 53, 60, 75
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 11:1-13
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
MEMORY VERSE: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
It is faith that can unlock the doors that problems and trials shut against you; activate your faith.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
HENCEFORTH, YOU SHALL POSSESS YOUR VICTORY, EVEN BEFORE THE BATTLE STARTS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Faith is one of the bedrocks of Christianity that cannot be underplayed. Without faith, no man can please God. Confession of faith is one of the most outstanding statements in the entire Bible. It then becomes evident that as a child of God, you need faith not only to please God, but also to receive from Him (Matthew 7:7).

Whoever must come to God through Jesus Christ must have a measure of faith, when this is mixed with the word of God, then we possess our possession. You can become a victorious person when you have and are successfully putting to use your faith in Christ. No matter the height, width and depth of your afflictions, you must believe in God to see you through and make you an overcomer. Faith is a fruit of the Spirit. It is a shield in the Christian armour with which you would keep away the fiery darts of the enemy (Ephesians 6:16). Certainly, without the above, a Christian soldier is incomplete and unChristlike in conduct. Not a piece of the armour should be missing, not a part of the fruit either. Beloved, there is nothing you are passing through that is beyond the capacity of God to bring under control. Our God is capable of changing any situation whatsoever. All you need is to put your faith to action through prayers, believing the word of God and His unfailing promises; even praising God when all seems there is no hope.
Remember, when you are weak, then He is strong. Faith, when all seems hopeless, touches the heart of God and moves Him into action on your behalf.
Have you got to the end of your tether? Do you feel abandoned? Do you feel isolated and even friends have turned against you? Behold, your Redeemer liveth and He is able to deliver you, heal you and restore all that you have lost (Job 19:25, 42:10). Consider your stand today and He will prove Himself to you.
Patriarchs of old were giants in the school of faith. No wonder Hebrews 11 made a list of them. These are men and women who could confront giants, wild animals, strong opposition, affliction and persecution; yet with faith in God, they overcame.
However, faith that is not tested and proved cannot be victorious. These aforementioned people went through the same. They held on to faith and became victorious. You can experience the same. All you need is to believe and hold strongly on God and you shall be numbered among the overcomers, in Jesus’ name.
