HAVE FAITH IN GOD
Memorise:
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall
have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23
In the course of this month, God has been speaking to
us on building a new altar. You may want to ask: does God have details of what
this altar should look like? The answer is yes. He expects you to build a very
special altar to Him which must have this attribute: it must be an altar of
faith. Stop doubting God! Hebrews 11:6 says,
“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.”
Four different times in the Bible, God said: “The just
shall live by faith”. You cannot call yourself a Christian if you find it
difficult to believe God. Whatever He promises, He must surely bring it to
pass. No matter how impossible God’s promises may sound, just trust Him. He
never fails. It is better to approach God with child-like faith.
While praying one day, the Lord said to me, “Son, one
day, presidents will come to this camp to worship” and I said “Amen”. As at
this time, there wad no likelihood of this happening. Then I told my people
what God said and the need to build a place for the president to stay when they
would visit. So we built a presidential lodge which was the largest building at
the Redemption Camp at that time. Thereafter, we waited for the first three
years but no president came. Then one day, my senior pastors met and said they
didn’t understand what I was saying. They said to themselves, ‘This man wants
to live in a big house but does not want to tell us. Now he has completed the
building, he does not know how to move in’. So they came to me and said, “You
are our president. Move into the house”, but I said, “No, that is not my house:
presidents are coming”. Today, God has fulfilled His word before our eyes. God
is not a liar. Stop doubting Him. When you go through a trial of faith, you may
express faith but it may not yield any immediate result. Do not let this topple
your faith in God. Every good word the Lord has spoken to you has a day of
fulfilment. That day shall not pass you by! Hold on to every promise of God for
you and your family. Hold on to God’s promise for your church or ministry. He
will fulfil them.

to take God at His word gives His displeasure.
