Day 3: Morning Session Word 2
Topic: Engaging the power of faith for unquestionable dominion
Speaker: Pastor Steve Ogah
Very quickly, it is my privilege to be bringing the second shot of God’s word in this morning’s session. And this morning, we shall be looking, we’re getting directly into a very unique subject: Engaging the power of faith for unquestionable dominion.
Engaging the power of faith for unquestionable dominion! The kind of dominion that cannot be contested! The evidence is there! Is that alright? Amen! If you believe that this morning…
Something I’d like to begin this morning by establishing is this fact: that unquestionable dominion is the heritage of every child of God. Unquestionable dominion is the heritage, the birthright of every child of God. So if you’re born again, a child of God, unquestionable dominion is your birthright! It’s your heritage!
In fact, in these last days, God is releasing an army of giants from Zion! Many of them are seated right here you didn’t hear me well many are seated right here! Many are connected across the globe on the platform of AYAC 2025! May your name not be missing among that army!
So, give us a picture of this end-time army!
Joel 2:2-5 A great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. That’s you God is describing there! Are you hearing what I’m saying? Not somebody else! God is describing there: you! Your dominion will become more questionable upon your return from here!
One beautiful reality is this: dominion is being restored to the church of Christ!
Daniel 7:27: And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. How many of them are here this morning? How many of them heard that this morning? Can I get another Amen to that!
It shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High! God is simply saying, in these last days, dominion, the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, is being transferred to us! Are you hearing what I’m saying? In every aspect of human life, the church is taking over! I’m talking about the church, I’m not talking about the structure, I’m not talking about a building, I’m talking about the people! And I’m talking about you sitting here this morning! Get ready!
In the field of technology, we are taking over! In real estate, we are taking over! In medical science, we are taking over! In banking and finance, we are taking over! A time is coming that the choicest in any field of life will be kingdom youths! And this will happen across the nations of the earth! Is your name on that list? Let it be loud and clear!
But faith! Faith is a non-negotiable spiritual force for dominion! Just myself: faith is a non-negotiable requisite for unquestionable dominion! In fact, everything in the Kingdom answers to faith! 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. So, as far as the kingdom of God is concerned, faith is key to man’s dominion! As far as the kingdom of God is concerned, faith is key to profitable living!
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. If thou canst believe, the impossible is possible! If thou canst believe, that closed door can be opened! If thou canst believe, before AYAC 2025 is over, you will testify! Your miracle job! If thou canst believe, your admission confirmation will open on the mountain of AYAC! Did you hear the testimony of our sister? She had been believing God for admission, and just yesterday, she got her admission! Boom! It has landed! That’s one person! Here, before the ninth session, boom! Your testimony will land!
A flood of testimonies! Come on, do you believe you’re on that list? Hey! In fact, many, we will have them in rapid succession! While you are thanking God for the first one, the second one will land! While you are shouting hallelujah for the second one, the third one will land! Someone here is turning the corner from horror to a commotion of testimonies!
But faith has unlimited capacity for growth! Unlimited capacity for growth! So no matter your faith level, there’s room for growth! There’s room for expansion!
2 Thessalonians 1:3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly. So no matter your faith level, there’s still room for growth and expansion!
And interestingly, the level of your faith dictates the degree of God’s manifestation! For it is unto you according to your faith! So when your faith level increases, the manifestation, of course, also increases! Yeah!
So the question we must answer this morning: What is faith? Watch this face! There are all kinds of teachings consistently on the subject of faith, but to help us expand our understanding this morning:
What is faith?
I’ve discovered there is nothing mystical about faith! And folks, there’s nothing religious about the subject of faith!
- let’s take a few definitions. Number one: Faith is being fully persuaded of the truth, the prevailing circumstances notwithstanding! Be! Don’t let your reality contradict your position and your standing in God! Of the truth of God’s word! Simply saying, if God said it in His word, that settles it!
Romans 4:17 – 21 we see the episode of the man Abraham. The Bible says concerning him: (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
God had spoken to Abraham that he would be a father of many nations. The first year came, no sign, no sound. The tenth year came, no sign, no sound. The twentieth year came. People were mocking him, they were calling him names. Who is this hope? Abraham believed in hope that the word that God had spoken concerning him would ultimately come to pass!
I hear what he said, verse 19 quickly: And being not weak in faith… Come on, answer me in faith! So Abraham was not weak in faith! In spite of the reality… I don’t know what God has said concerning you, but you know the good news: it will ultimately come to pass! No matter how long you have waited for that breakthrough, no matter the names they have called you, congratulations! You came to AYAC 2025, you have a treaty with your testimony in your hand!
Abraham was fully persuaded that what God said concerning him would ultimately be established, and that is why he was not weak in faith! He did not stagger at the promises of God! He never doubted what God said, but was strong, giving glory to God! And verse 21: And being fully persuaded… Every one of us must come to a place where we know that this God that we serve, it is impossible for Him to lie! Any word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord is the truth, and you can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth! Every time God speaks, it is as good as done! Every word that God has proclaimed over your life shall be established! So don’t be moved by what is going on!
I love the song: I’m not moved by what I see, I’m not moved by the things I hear, I’m only moved by the word of God! So if it is written, then it is established! All your enemies will smell it this time! Everyone that has mocked you and called your name before, they are about to decorate your destiny!
- What is faith? Faith is obeying God to prove that you believe Him! Committing to Him to confirm His word! Faith is obeying God! The proof of faith is in your actions! Faith is obeying God to prove that you believe Him, so as to confirm His word in your life!
James 2:18, Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. I will prove the integrity of my faith by my works! I will prove the validity of my faith by my works!
There are many of us; it’s time for us to put works to our faith! It’s time for us to begin to manifest the things that God has spoken concerning us! For instance, God has spoken concerning you that you’ll be joyfully married before Shiloh—uh, it’s time for you to begin to package yourself like someone that is ready to be covenantly married! As a young lady, you begin to package yourself! The kind of menu you’ll be cooking in your family house, begin to pack the color of curtains, let me say, where you’ll be arranging your family house! Don’t forget to conceive a lovely family picture! God has said to you, “Be fruitful,” and you have been on the line for many years? Begin to buy baby clothes! Arrange them! If you have a spare room in your house, turn it into a baby’s room! Your faith without your works is dead! I will prove to you the integrity of my faith by my works!
You know what the mother of Jesus said to them at the wedding of Cana in, His mother saith unto the servants
John 2:5 Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Don’t argue it, just do it! Don’t explain it, just trust it! So everything this word is saying concerning you, don’t ask why, just comply!
- What is faith? Faith is not waiting for God to work! Stop waiting! Stop waiting! I love the testimony of the brother that shared this morning, he came for AYAC 2024, and he said he came with two t-shirts and a certain amount, now, can you imagine someone came to pick something, another person came to stay, shortening his stay? But he began to take steps of faith! He said upon his return from AYAC, he said to himself, “What am I sitting down in the house waiting for?” Too many of us are too lazy for the place that God wants to take us!
You wake up as a young man, you believe in God, and you slept from 7 PM last night, and you wake up at 9 AM and you are speaking in tongues, and they ask you, “You’re not going out?” “No, I’m believing God, my miracle job is on the way.” And you are idle as a full-grown man that is not sick, and you are walking around the house! He said the word came to him: “Why are you sitting down, wasting away?” And he got up and he took steps and he went out, and God ordered his steps! That same day, he met someone that needed his services, and he said before the close of that day, millions had landed in his account! Now if he was sleeping in his house, scrolling on social media, watching Netflix, as the first preacher said, with empty hands, he would have landed! So faith is not waiting! Faith is putting God’s word to work so as to commit the integrity of God to make good His promise!
Philippians 2:12: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Work it out! Walk it out! Walk it out! Stop waiting! Stop folding your hands! Stop lying around! Well, somebody’s catching fire from this mountain! It’s not that you that will go back home this morning! No!
But what is unique about Bible faith?
What makes Bible faith unique?
What makes it unique? What is the difference maker concerning Bible faith? Quickly!
- It taps into the power of God for our desired turnaround! It taps into the power of God! I’ve discovered that faith is man’s spiritual connector to the power of God! It connects man! It is the linkage between man and God’s power!
John 1:12: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. So the power to become is made available through the instrumentality of faith! Faith connects man to the power of God that has the capacity to stir up and provoke testimony! But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. That is why in Luke chapter 8, we saw this woman with the issue of blood, and the Bible says concerning her that for many years she had been a victim in the hands of physicians! She had wasted all of her resources managing her health, and it was never getting better!
But this woman, full of faith, said in her heart, “If I may but touch the hem of his garment…”
Luke 8:43-44 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. Somebody here, immediately! That issue that you have carried for many years, this morning, as the word is going forth, it shall stanch!
One of the testifiers this morning said she had an issue of blood also, bleeding… someone, you know… one thing about faith: it has the capacity for an instant miracle on the spot! Speaking this morning by the word of the Lord, somebody is receiving a miracle on the spot! If you’re saying like a true believer?
- It establishes active partnership with the Invisible! The invisible God! It establishes active partnership! It brings you side by side with God, the One who has the capacity to make all things happen!
Hebrews 11:5-6: 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. 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
It took faith for Enoch to enjoy translation! So before his translation, he had a testimony that he pleased God! So without faith, all of those testimonies would not have happened! What does that happen? So what does is to establish man’s partnership with the Invisible God! The One whom you cannot see with your naked eye, but you cannot deny His tangible evidence! The One who you don’t see here, you cannot deny His tangible manifestations! As I’m speaking right now, that invisible God is doing practical things in somebody’s life here!
You came here with any discomfort in your system? Any growth in your body? That invisible God will rip those things out of your system!
- Faith has the power to quench all the fiery darts of the devil! How many darts? Come on, answer me today this morning! How many darts?
Ephesians 6:16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. All the fiery thoughts of the enemy! So it is a shield! Faith is the believer’s shield! When the enemy shoots, your faith will quench the arrows! That’s what it says! It has the capacity to quench every assault the enemy is shooting your direction! That’s why I know this morning, as your faith comes alive, as your faith level is enhanced, every arrow of the enemy will be stopped supernaturally! Now, honey, it’s an arrow that’s been stopped, and it will turn back to the head of the sender!
Faith brings God’s hand to bear on a man’s life for exploits! It brings God’s hand! It provokes the hand of God to rest upon a man, culminating in exploits!
Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? So every time God finds faith, He shows forth His hand! Every time God finds faith, He shows forth His hand!
1 Kings 18, well said, the episode of the man Elijah! What a mighty prophet that man was! 1 Kings 18: 40-44 Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. Before that time, there had been drought, no rain! Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees. That’s a kind of rocket prayer! And it began to travail! And servant, go up now, look toward the sea! And he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” For the first six times, there was nothing! And it looked like nothing! That’s the story of Elijah here! And he said, “No sign.” And he said, “Go again.” Seven times! And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand, And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
There’s somebody here, your cloud is rising from AYAC 2025! Thank you! You’ve been on the line for that breakthrough testimony for many years! Congratulations! Congratulations, I said to you! Congratulations! The same way the miracle landed for Elijah, your own miracle will land! Catch it now! The drought you’ve waited for all these years, finally, your miracle is this time! I, I, you hearing me, somebody? Finally! Finally, your miracle is landing for you! The same way the men mocked you concerning it, God will decorate your destiny with it this time!
So faith brings the hand of God to be upon the life of a man! So when you need divine intervention, stir up your faith! If you need divine intervention for the hand of God to rest upon you to manifest signs and wonders, stir up your faith!
