Topic: Faith Boosters
Text: Heb 11:1, 6.
Minister: Pastor Elisha

There are many factors that can boost one's faith. You can't get anything from God without faith. If you have faith without hope and love, it's useless. Faith, hope and love all go hand in hand. 1 Cor 13:13, Matt 22:37. If you don't have the love of God, you're just wasting your time. The plan of God for mankind is anchored on love.

Chasing mundane things of the world is not faith. Biblical faith is about you laying down everything at the feet of Christ and seeking for the expansion of his kingdom. Praying that the glory of God will be made manifest all over the world.

You can't sow a seed and expect to harvest the fruit the next day. Learn to be patient. You heart must be fixed on God. Do not depend on man.

Nothing should stand as an alternative between you and God. Hold on solidly to God. Let him be your everything.

For God to help you, you must be committed. Let your lifestyle be pleasing to him. Make God your source.

I WILL LIFT UP MY EYES TO THE HILLS FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP- Ps 121:1

Study 1 Chr 4: 9-10 (The Story of Jabez)

The title above is a cry from someone who is desperate for a change. One faced with challenges, untold hardship and unpleasant vicissitudes of life.

At this point a person is stuck; not knowing what to do. Some begin to scamper about looking for solution to their numerous problems. Some people miss it by visiting the wrong places thereby bringing bigger problems into their lives.

The answer to your problems is not in a pastor, a prophet, a spiritualist, a sorcerer, a palm reader or an herbalist. The answer to all problems can be found in Jesus. It is good to know your source and who your greatest ally is.

Jabez' (in the bible) situation was very peculiar. His mum named him sorrow after he was born. He knew he had to do something quickly. One day, he decided to change the status quo having a strong faith in God that He would wade into his situation. He cried and God heard and his story changed for the better. God is indeed faithful in caring for those who seek him.

Today, we will cry like Jabez did and pray the same prayers he prayed. The Lord of Host in his infinite mercy will hear us. "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." -1 Jn 3: 8b (KJV).

1. Thank God for his faithfulness and for keeping you alive.
2. Pray that God would bless you and enlarge your territory.
3. Pray that his hand will be with you.
4. Pray that God should keep you from harm so that you will be free from pain.
5. Thank God because he has heard.
