Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
What is the one thing God will zero in on us with favour?
Faith.
Faith is fully persuaded in God’s goodness and mercy.
The righteous by faith shall live.
Faith always get God’s attention. Faith justify God and make satan a lier
Faith is a rest.
While we are busy outside, inside the temple the holy of holy, our spirit man, there is a perfect man. Perfect quietness.
Hebrews 4:11
The Word Discovers Our Condition
Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
We enjoy by faith not by sense.
Prosper in your soul, in your body, in your health and all aspect of your life
God prepare the church as a whole and also individually
Ephesians 1:17
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
God wants us to possess more and more of His possession
Obadiah 1:17
Israel’s Final Triumph
“But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance,
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Joshua 1:2-3
“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.
Step on the land that God has given you.
The house of Jacob. They are believing God. Even when they fall they will fall vertically
Joshua 1:3
Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.
Deuteronomy 1:27
and you complained in your tents, and said, ‘Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Expose yourself to the word of Christ
Romans 10:14
Israel Rejects the Gospel
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God from the mouth of preacher.

We have the substance.
Joshua 13:1
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.
By grace through faith you are saved.
As in everything God is restoring there is abuses.
Why is there counterfeit money? Because there is value.
The devil will counterfeit grace and gifts of God.
One area is healing.
Isaiah 53:4
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
Surely – aken
Griefs – kholee diseases
Sorrow – makov pains
Matthew 8:16-17
Many Healed in the Evening
(Mark 1:32–34; Luke 4:40, 41)
When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”
Infirmities and sicknesses
Isaiah 53:4
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised (crushed) for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Stick to the word of God
Jesus healed all that were sick. He Himself took all our infirmities and sicknesses.
Forgiveness of sin is in the blood of Christ
By His stripe we are healed!
Isaiah 53:2
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
Jesus as a Person before the cross must be altogether beautiful. His blood is royal blood. There is no deformities in His blood. His blood is pure and divine.
His Person is radiant.
He is altogether lovely.
As God He turned His back on Jesus because He was carrying our sins at the cross.
Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
God look at us and said we are dear to His heart.
We are dear to His heart. He loves us.
He calls for unqualified people than He qualifies them.
Sermon on the Mount
The holy spirit is called the spirit of truth
John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
The spirit of truth can only bear witness with truth.
We cannot believe in lies and error. Holy Spirit has nothing to bear witness with.
Prayer of faith!
James 5:14-15
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Mark 16:18
they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
1 Corinthians 11:30
For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.
1 Corinthians 11:29
For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
The blood was shed for the remission of sin.
Not discerning the Lord’s body is action.
In Christ we are made worthy. We are qualified.
We receive the Lord’s supper remembering Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:25
In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
Remember the Lord, not remember our sins or ourselves
Possess our possession and receive afresh from Jesus
People are getting saved through videos!
God has gifts and fruits of spirit for us!
Take both!
1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
1 Corinthians 13:10
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
God has ordained people hear the word of God and faith to receive the portion already ours.
God cannot force blessings against our wills.
Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Psalms 1:2-3
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
The Cheerful Giver
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
12 years ago the Lord spoke to Pastor Prince to go without salary from the church. The church was doing well and growing. His heart was not for money.
For the sake of the testimony, he decided to go without salary and depend only on his Intellectual property and at that time his books were not so widespread.
Now in 2022 he will go without intellectual property. He believes the Lord for provision.
When the Lord is my shepherd i shall not lack.
Jesus took our grieves our sorrow by the crown of thorns
Luke 8:14
Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
When Jesus shed blood, the blood of Jesus has redeeming quality.
Today through rest we receive all that we need.
We don’t live by toil. We live by rest.
