  Probably you might have heard somebody said that they actually
• 0:04
  worked in faith pertaining something and then at the end of
• 0:08
  the day, that thing never came into manifestation.
• 0:12
  You see, most times our inability to understand the
• 0:14
  subject of faith brings the different biases we see in it.
• 0:19
  And because of it, what we call faith in most cases is not
• 0:22
  actually faith. And I will make you understand
• 0:26
  that in a brief. So maybe in your journey, even
• 0:30
  you believed your hard faith about something.
• 0:32
  Probably you're believing God for a promotion, you're
• 0:34
  believing God for a financial breakthrough, you're believing
• 0:36
  God to win over some of the parties you're facing.
• 0:39
  And then all of a sudden it walked to your disfavored or to
• 0:42
  your disadvantage. And then you are in absolute
• 0:45
  shock and confusion, knowing fully well that you believe that
• 0:48
  if you walk by faith, then you're supposed to work for your
• 0:50
  own benefit. But you see, one of the things
• 0:53
  that has been, you know, missed out, I believe even in our
• 0:57
  generation and even in the previous generation is the
• 1:00
  subject of fit. And because of our inability to
• 1:02
  understand it, we tend to abuse that very thing.
• 1:05
  So when they understand of it and it's not understood, the
• 1:08
  abuse of that, it becomes inevitable.
• 1:10
  Because most times what we call fit today is not actually fit
• 1:14
  because Bible fit is not only on the premise of receiving a loan.
• 1:19
  No Bible fit is actually on the premise of oath receiving, and
• 1:24
  sometimes you may not actually receive.
• 1:26
  Let me explain something for you.
• 1:28
  You see, just the same way faith means you can pray for something
• 1:32
  and get an answer is the same way faith can also mean that
• 1:36
  your ability to lose something actually is a statement of
• 1:39
  faith. The Bible say that Moses forsake
• 1:42
  forsake all the pleasures of Egypt and he why?
• 1:46
  Because he was looking at him who was invisible.
• 1:48
  So Moses meaning abandoned his position to be a king in Egypt,
• 1:52
  abandoned everything he needed to the pleasures, the glory that
• 1:55
  came with it, just because of what in his positive faith.
• 1:59
  You know, there's some people that this scripture made a
• 2:01
  reference to and you'll see that it's not necessarily because
• 2:04
  they gained something, but because they in their journey
• 2:07
  with God, something much more was formed in it.
• 2:10
  And that is why we must not misunderstand what faith is all
• 2:14
  about because faith is not only receiving from God.
• 2:16
  Sometimes faith is also you stepping away from certain
• 2:19
  things. Faith means you've been able to
• 2:23
  fully comply with the instruction of God because this
• 2:26
  is what I'm talking about is Bible faith.
• 2:27
  I'm not talking about and decree and declare kind of faith
• 2:31
  because it's not entirely hinged on OK as I want money God, this
• 2:36
  this is a magic wand. Once I speak, I know you will do
• 2:39
  it. No, this a fit that comes by
• 2:42
  your obedience and that only participation comes only when
• 2:45
  you obey and you obey to the fullness.
• 2:48
  So in as much as we are exploring the dimension of
• 2:50
  course fit, we're trying to talk about fit and everything, we
• 2:53
  must also understand the scope of what fit is all about.
• 2:57
  So today you're hearing that faith does not just end in you
• 3:01
  gaining things. Faith could actually mean you're
• 3:03
  losing things. Faith could actually mean you're
• 3:05
  abandoning things and that is what is very important because
• 3:10
  most times we get disappointed again and again because we think
• 3:14
  God has abandoned us or whereas there's something God is
• 3:17
  building in your life at that moment.
• 3:19
  So it's not because he has abandoned you, but it's because
• 3:22
  he has been able to put you in a part of more, more balanced and
• 3:27
  more methodical method. For example, one of the things
• 3:30
  you need to even ask, what is it that you know Abel gained by the
• 3:35
  reason of his faith, yet the Bible says he was a man of
• 3:37
  faith. He offers sacrifices and because
• 3:39
  of his faith he was killed by Cain.
• 3:41
  Yes, his sacrifice was accepted because he did it in faith and
• 3:45
  eventually led to the demise of his life.
• 3:48
  So you see faith does not end on only what you gain, but faith
• 3:52
  also means you being obedient to the will and to the instructions
• 3:56
  of God. I believe this world is clear to
• 3:59
  you today and as you keep on going, may your faith is
• 4:02
  strengthened in Jesus name. See you next time.
• 4:05
  God bless you.
