[Music] [Music] me one [Music] oh [Music] me [Music] [Music] today i'm only preaching on the subject seeing faith i'm preaching on the subject seeing faith seeing faith i'm now in mark chapter 11 verse 22. jesus answering said to them have faith in god have faith in god for verily i say to you that what whosoever whosoever shall say to this mountain be thou removed and be cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe though that but shall believe that those things which he she saith shall come to pass this is stunning he shall have whatsoever he says he shall have whatsoever he says therefore because you shall have whatsoever you say therefore i say to you what things so ever you desire pray whatsoever things you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them not believe that you shall receive it and you shall receive it is them and you shall have them father add a blessing to this word in jesus name when we're dealing with the essence of faith the entire world and universe is built on faith god is a faith being have the faith of god god is a faith being it is impossible for god to lie it is impossible for god to have doubt god believes and always believes and you have to know that god believes in you say god believes in me say that like you are convinced god believes he believes in you he believes in you where you are he believes in you where you are he believes in what you are how he is into me and believes in what you can be and so then faith is basically a walk it's a lifestyle it's a culture they are environments that don't have faith and the environments that do environments that just believe and so let's look at hebrews chapter number 11 and verse 2. i've preached for many years on faith pastor hichi was going through a number of my notes and stuff and they are messages that i preached she found handwritten from 1980 and there's a series that i wrote but i've nev i've not preached it i wrote that in 1980 81 and the message entitled diseases in the body old testament diseases how they apply in the new testament condition and how the cure from an old testament perspective there is a cure in the new testament knowing that jesus has taken all our diseases and all our sicknesses and healers from all our destructions we know that but going back then way back then uh in fact on friday a very good friend of ours ellen lasseter our missionary son sent me a video clip of me in 1978 and i was talking about saul's brie and the church and i was telling tadiwa that in that clip you can see i have a temple right here but going back to those notes the things i was preaching way back then on faith but in all those years i've not preached on the subject the elders obtained a good report and so when we're dealing with uh the elders obtained a good report the word elder there there is an inference of somebody that is older somebody that has walked the journey and so then faith then a good report from elders means that they have tried they've been tried and they have been tested the word obtained is also to attain to attain to acquire to achieve and so to achieve and to attain means that you have to have gone through something you have to have tackled something and so what god specializes in in terms of faith he specializes in the ridiculous the unobtainable the unachievable applied faith is something that we have to apply to be an achiever romans chapter 12 and verse 3. to every man every person has been given the measure through grace given unto me to every man that is among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think but to think in a balanced measure to think realistically to think not being inebriated or intoxicated by by sick offense and self-praise and self-evaluation i was picking up a medication in the avenues and there was a certain gentleman there i interrupted or became part of a conversation and they were talking about evaluation and he had evaluated himself at an eight and a half in terms of on a scale of one to ten and eight and a half in terms of self-appointment and you know uh being my age there are no fighters we just interrupt everywhere i set him only a fool would self-evaluate themselves so high i said you need to get an independent person that has no financial emotional attachment in your life to evaluate you because if you have a family member you a mother will always rate you high and certain family members will always rate you low but get somebody that's independent to to look at your life and to evaluate you so that you can improve because if you have rated yourself as a young person at an 8.5 how where is the room for improvement you are going to discover that when you come ace that's our little puppy into a real world of dogs i watch our little puppy or not our pasta cheese's little puppy and tj's puppy hey strog i watch him when he comes out of the house in the mornings how he walks with the other dogs and what he's telling them in uh into augustic and he's telling them you see that guy there he's acting all brave and strong he sleeps on the floor i'm sleeping on the pillow and they're saying yeah he says ah that one is a weakling he's nothing and i can see them believing ace so the dogs don't respect me there leia gave birth to 11 puppies and three didn't make it we now have eight and so the bismarck household we have like i think 15 dogs or something the bismarcks have really really really gone to the dogs but you know if if i have ace evaluating me he's going to evaluate me very low very very low and so to get a good report is something you have to obtain i dreaded uh the end of the term especially when i was in embarque because then we would get the report and then each teacher would give you based on your exams geography history general science uh maths or arithmetic reading they'd give you a grade and then they would make a little comment you know and we're a big class of 54 and so to get the reports out the way generally those that are high achievers and so on you know excellent good those are not doing so well that the teacher actually writes an essay you know tutor is chicken heart chicken brain doesn't pay attention you know [Music] you know the problem is marco vla and i mean just a long essay and writing a whole essay the teachers wanting to pass english on creating me in arithmetic and so for me going home with the report i used to dread it because i know i was going to get my mother used to be i know the older ones the parents used to say go and choose your stick so you have to go choose your stick and then you get for whatever reason beaten because you didn't perform well because at that time we didn't understand that a person had an academic level or an intellectual level and so the report then generally if if the math was not good or the english was not good generally if you are graded on on behavior that nonetheless he's not done very well but he's a good boy he's kept his nose clean he's behaved himself he didn't run away to the girl's hostel one year i i did it was highly forbidden and we went down the main street to the girls hospital for whatever reason and i got beaten with the hippos tale and that was in my report and so i was delivered at home my mother had a a vicious left hook and a ko uppercut and so the report then sometimes a lot of times reveals where you are so the elders here obtain a good report the danish uh theologian quirky god in dealing with the the objectivity of faith says that faith is basically essence it's essence either you have it or you do not it's like math physics either you have it or you are not with chemistry it's more subjective because it's a combination of various uh gases or or chemicals that make a thing and so you'll have sulfur and chlorine combined produces salt am i correct sodium sulfate is that it or chlorine or something and so with chemistry it's a mixture with physics and math one in one is not one and a half and so those are absolutes so faith then as a standalone alone is an absolute so god has it god is it as an absolute but when in application it becomes subjective it then is distributed in the in the various categories in which it is occupied and exhibited and so faith then if it's like this will then take on this vessel or it will take on a vessel the size of this building which will be filled with oil and so it then depends how big the vessel is say increase my vessel so small vessels small faith it's not likely that a small vessel can have big faith it's not likely that a small boat can carry containers but it's ridiculous if you have a container ship to carry a grain of sand and so when you then move from objectivity what faith faith is in its pure essence now in his application in his application you have to then apply it to where you can obtain where you can obtain and so what god then does in the life of an individual god usually raises an opportunity or a challenge for faith to be manifest and so for every uh opportunity or what for every situation god then raises an opportunity for faith to be exhibited and so when we look at hebrews chapter number 11 verse number 32 what shall i say more for time would fail me to tell of gideon of gideon and so he was the smallest he claimed in the try of the tribes the smallest of the families and the lowest in his entire family but god used him took the objectivity of faith poured it on gideon filled his literal being but of necessity god had to expand his world because to deliver an entire nation you cannot be a gideon with small faith for a national project and so what god then is going to do through you this subtle agent teaches that what god is going to do through you is first an expansion work on your life say god expand me say god expand me and so some years ago we were going to bite this house we missed it because of misdirection by a certain individual that was leading the church at that time but what teaching i learned as the years went by we learned that when you have an opportunity to buy for example a building it might be a 15-storey building in harare you might not buy the building the fact that god has attracted you to that building is a sign that your faith has grown from a one bedroom three bedroom to the fact that you can own a 10 15 story building if you don't get the building you have not failed what you should know is that god has grown you to that level and the fact that that is now revealed that you are now have the you now have the audacity the audacity to even consider buying that building is crazy and so once you see that building and god attracts you to that building what you should do is walk around that building now it's going to be quite interesting if you have 25 new lifers all walking around the same building at the same time but the point here is that once you get to the place where you know that this is what god has set me to you then walk around it and you begin to confess over it this building is mine this building is for my generations i claim this because every situation is an opportunity for faith say that say that again also know this that once you expand into a world you then increase the spiritual warfare in your life small assignment small spiritual warfare large assignment large spiritual warfare but the situation then demands that your your being grows your world grows so that your ability to believe grows next year i will be celebrating 49 years of ministry 49 years of ministry and so now as an elder i have a good report by faith and so we then walk by faith so gideon every situation in your life you now are going to have to uh exhibit that you are willing to go in the journey go get your father's bull and kill it and sacrifice it and you have to then antagonize the the zone of comfortability around you because god is with you and then god is going to demonstrate that he's going to put fire on every sacrifice you have and as the journey goes as the journey goes the thousands of people that you attract by saying it's time for liberation it's time to set the nation free it's time that all these people are coming and gideon says the lord says tell all those that are afraid to go and thousands left thousands left because the average person is not an achiever or doesn't attain because of fear love the security want to keep that house and won't sell it for the business because it's a risk but great achievers have moved from uh to attain to attain they've moved out of an area of comfortability i would advise counselors to guide you in such a significant feat however with gideon he then said the lord said there's ten thousand left and gideon could have been satisfied with that because a thousand shares fall at my side and how many ten thousand were at my right hand some ninety one and so it could have been this is god ten thousand at my right hand god has given me the power to overcome and the lord said there are still too many and then the water test which means you have to be immersed in the project you cannot be an attainer unless you are immersed in the project the best football players are those that are immersed in the project they are playing not for the salary they are playing for the badge i am so thrilled that the fact that you have individuals in the respective football clubs that were born in an area they went through the academy they're not playing for money they are playing for the badge they are playing for nlcc team they are playing for jabula team you are playing for for uh for uh the matsika clan they are playing for the chabuka clan they are playing for the sagza clan they are on team bismarck and it's important now that we have people that are playing for the badge because we grow together we expand together so god is now in a construction program in your life is knocking down all of the things in your life there's a construction program in your life that little house you had it has to go because one day god wants to put up a multi-story building a building that's going to require cranes and so that tree that that you were eating in puffers from or drawing in corals from that tree you have to cut down the tree the tree can't stay because you can't build that big building with your your your tree there the tree has to go so right now god is working on a construction program in most people in this place you are so insecure because there's things that you have relied on for years that suddenly are coming tumbling down gideon if you are going to be successful in your life it is imperative that you as a person you are willing to let god bring down the old building so the new one can come up you have to survive the austerity of the construction program and so eventually gideon is going to overcome as a small bali loaf rolling into the enemy's camp with with a trumpet which is the poetic word and fire which is the the word in your spirit it's like fire shut up in your bones and so it's by word and spirit is by truth and spirit that you overcome the enemy without even lifting a single uh weapon because the enemy's weapon will not prosper but your weapons will prosper and god will give you a victory that doesn't even sound possible when you began you with the least of the least now with god working on your side you become the best of the best i pray that you'll survive the the construction program in your life because as god begins to work in your life you will obtain a good report say i obtain a good report by faith samson and jeff if you look at these individuals the judges they were so unlikely people jeff there was in chapter number 11 of the book of judges chapter was a mighty man of valor but his mother was a harlot and his brothers rejected him and the thing is that when you have a significant spirit of rejection on your life when you are called to lead in a particular way you have to have faith in what god is saying you will do and not faith or belief in what people have said you are put it up judges chapter 11 verse one you are a mighty person of valor say call your name chili or mighty person novel say that cure a mighty person of valor say that again you're a mighty person of valor the thing that saved jephthah is the fact that he was a gileadite the place of gilead was known for its bomb for its healing and so even though uh you are a mighty man of valor and uh but the fortunate thing is that you you have healing flowing in your veins say to the healing is flowing in your veins come on say that three times still the healing is flowing in your veins say that again to the healing is flowing in your veins it's flowing in your veins the downside the downside is that what you are and who you are has been inseminated by so many ideas so many philosophies so many ideologies that is difficult for you to identify the seed of who you really are he didn't even know who his father was he couldn't tell because his mother was a harlot and then the scripture goes in to say but gilead begat jeffja and so the fact is that even though there's healing in your veins there's a stigma of who your mother is or was but god has assigned you to to lead a nation and you are going to have to build faith say my faith is increasing say you i say i have to see faith i have to see faith i have to see it i have to see it in operation i have to see it functioning i have to have faith that this microphone will deliver what i've asked it to deliver i have to believe that the sound system will deliver what i've asked you to deliver so the lights sow my life and so you look at individuals like david and samuel and the prophets who through faith subdued kingdoms they subdued kingdoms through faith not with weapons through faith the many victories david had the many uh victories that samuel had from anointing king saul to keep david to offering sacrifice that misbah and to walking a life of integrity hearing from the lord as a little boy to all his life all of that was a faith walk all of that was a faith walk in environments that were very difficult and challenging subdued kingdoms wrought righteous wrought righteousness obtained promises obtained promises this week in one of the days in my early prayer i was praying for the promises of god to be released in my life whatever promise there was those i'm aware of those i'm unaware of those that are both spiritual those that are both natural many many promises uh chichi and i were warring uh in the course of the week this week or the week before there were so many people that have promised us so much so many people that have promised bishop we are going to build the cathedral at no expense to you and when that happens we will not tell you we will not tell you because then you won't give as you you are not giving as you should now i thought i'd just throw that in don't you never say shots fired amen you need the breastplate of righteousness when you're in this service but again because we start leaning on the arm of flesh we'd like to get it done and and the cathedral and many things in your life those are a work of faith and and of course obtaining promises stopping the mouths of lions that's in adversity including the devil quenched the violence of fire quenched the violence of i escaped the edge of the sword out of weakness were made strong on friday my heart broke again all the way down bunsen had to get another procedure on his teeth and i was waiting at the door for him when they came in and danford one of our workers there's a very very strong man very strong tend for that to carry bunny over his shoulder like this because bunny was ko'd and my heart again was reduced and i was thinking about cheech because uh she had to pick up bernie from the dentist and our heart was then squashed again i mean just like all the fabric out of us but every single day yeah we wall with the prophecies on his life we're not believing the report of the enemy we are believing the report of the lord we have to walk by faith you have to walk in faith you have to believe you have to be strong in faith not wavering for he that wave is like like the wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed unwavering in the words of archbishop gutierrez may god bless him and preserve him amen food in faith food in faith building where there are no resources taking literally the the salaries that the domestic workers in in zionia some of them from their salaries have built massive churches it wasn't about the money it was about walking by faith and so you have to see faith in adversity you have to see faith it's like okay what's god doing what is god saying where is that door what what is that opportunity where is the breakthrough what is the manifestation that god is trying to show me what is the lesson that i'm supposed to learn from that the fact that a goliath is standing in my path it's not about the giant but it's about god's ability in my life that god has grown me as an individual that now that the construction program is complete the objectivity and the completion of faith is going to be downloaded into my spirit and i'm at the place where it is going to be impossible to have unbelief i will say to this victory even though you can't give me something to eat my words will feed me you haven't given me something to satisfy my need but my words coming out of my mouth will satisfy what i am and what i should be people around me may not believe who i am but i'm serving notice to this fig tree that you will not produce fruit again what you did for adam and eve you will not do for me you provided your leaves for adam and eve imagine the tree didn't give adam any fruit the tree gave adam and eve leaves imagine if they had the tree had given them fruit by some sort of chance there could have been some sort of healing mechanism in the fruit but i see jesus looking at the fig tree announcing to the fig tree a few days from now i'm gonna be stuck naked on a cross totally embarrassed and i will not allow you to use your leaves and cover me because i'm going to be nakedness to cover the nakedness of mankind i'm going to produce righteousness so that men can be covered with my righteousness turn to a neighbor and say faith must work but you've got to see it amen you're gonna see that your shoes will cover thirty thousand steps and not just ten thousand what it's made for you have to see that that little bit of oil you have to see faith in that oil that that oil will expand you have to see faith in the little bit of mealy meal that little bit of flour that it will extend for two years you have to see faith that in my situation that when he says pick up your bed and walk i have to believe that this stranger that i've never met before i have to have faith in his word i have to have faith and see it when i'm standing on a tree looking down on jesus i have to see faith in that situation it's an opportunity for my miracle when sickness comes on my body i have to see faith in the situation because god is giving me an occasion to change that world i have to see faith in the situation that if i have to give isaac that there's a ram behind me i have to see faith in the situation that even though there's a war around me that there is jehovah's shalom in my life god is presenting faith in a situation when there's confusion all around me it's a situation to bring order for my life clap your hands for a difficult situation when i would do good evil is present for me so when evil shows up in your life there's a jaw of opportunity it's the situation for a miracle it's a situation for a breakthrough but you have to see faith you have to open the eyes of your faith you have to look faith square in the eye and say faith you and i you and i are going to another level when the disciples said to jesus lord increase our faith but luke 17 verse 1 when he said increase our faith jesus said to them he talked about an individual who was asking for bread at midnight i know i don't have bread but i know that faith will provide bread for me i will keep on saying bread i will keep on saying bread i know it's an opportunity for my miracle don't complain when traffic increases in your life and makes it inconvenient for you you don't have any supply but the need has been accentuated the need has put pressure on your supply a strange person coming to you at an inconvenient time and says i need to eat at midnight faith is doing that for you it's about your inconvenience your life it's about your inconvenience your stability it's about your inconvenience your little bit of investment money but his faith coming in your life shall increase my faith say increase my faith oh yes it's increase my faith say increase my faith please find the scripture you say increase my faith god is about to stretch and increase your faith from this place to another place but you have to see it say open my eyes say open my eyes to see say open my eyes to see don't see the trial don't see the destroyed vehicle don't see the theft in your life but see the situation see it with your eyes open my eyes to see that they are more with us than they are with them i think it's 17 verse 5. say increase my faith say enlarge my faith say increase my belief say help me to believe say help me to believe say help me to believe women receive their dead race to life again they the apostles said unto god in jesus say increase our faith say increase our faith so there's individual faith and then there's corporate faith it's enough for you to believe as a person but we have to believe as a group and so for all our family we have to believe as a group for all our family we have to believe that all things are possible as a group it's the law of agreement we agree we come as one and we say to the mountain get out of my ways get out of my path remove from here to there cast you into oblivion throw you into the abyss curse you into eternity in other words when i pass this test i won't have to go through it ever again but you have to see faith you have to see that this oil that this meal that this trial that this blessing is not just for a season but it's for me it's from my children and my grandchildren the children that are tested the most are the ones that are the most successful the reason for that is because the devil can see the anointing but you have to see in faith give someone an elbow say walk by face you have to see in faith you have to see faith you have to say god give me who you are but give me what you are so that my world can be filled with your power in my situation and in my presence god work my miracle god work my miracle thank you for the blood that i overcome the devil with thank you for the word of my testimony that i overcome the enemy with but god thank you for faith i obtained a good report i walked with my good report i should not have been alive i should not have been here but his faith that has brought me this far clap your hands and say lord i believe i need you all to clap your hands and praise god [Music] i wondered why certain individuals lived so long bishop guti is going towards a century look at the things that they have done so i study his life his journey very closely [Music] very closely because where i am right now i have to live another 37 years to be where archbishop is i shared the story before i was complaining travelling the lines immigration customs i'm saying ah you know god i think anywhere with this and kind of crumbling and mumbling under my breath and then i saw him coming with his purple suit happy smiling and i went into the in the essay lounge where he was i put myself on the floor he said no don't do that i said no no you are father please receive my seed laying on the floor holding his feet asking the lord give me some grace to walk in what the archbishop is walking in and he said you are my son prayed a blessing on my life and then we bought it i was sitting in 4a by the window he was sitting right there in 2a a 2c and one of his helpers wrote his bible out and put on his glasses and he was reading his bible and i cried all the way to essay i mean how can i eat with archbishop sitting there i just said no no didn't want to drink because he didn't want to drink he didn't want to eat and i thought oh god obtained a good report through faith but you have to see it you have to see [Music] it [Music] foreign [Music] um [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] you
