what is what is pleasing to God faith
the next verse says without faith it is
impossible to please God and the kind of
Faith what kind of faith is it watch God
not going to tell you that Faith pleases
him but what kind of Faith he who comes
to God must believe that he is number
one that he is and number two
that he is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek him now when you come to
God the kind of faith that pleases God
is the faith that believe that God is
now God is we all know that God exists
God is here it's actually the idea of
like Jesus saying I am it's a blank
check God is blank check to whatever you
you know you must believe that God wants
to be everything to you if you are sick
God is your physician amen if you are
lacking you you are broke God is your
supply can I have a good amen you got to
believe God is a good god he wants to be
whatever you need him to be Amen in your
life praise the Lord and number two God
wants you to believe that he is a
rewarder he is a rewarder for some
reason there are religious Christians
and I call them religious Christians
okay because they have this idea that
you know you can't do things for reward
if reward is your motive you have it
wrong you must not be reward minded but
my Bible tells me the faith that pleases
God is a faith that believes that God is
a
rewarder God will not bypass a single
good thing that you do but how do you
reconcile this with Grace Pastor Prince
because Grace has got nothing to do with
what we do you are right it's both let
me tell you this I I always like to say
it like this God gives you the grace to
do something it came from him God gives
you the grace to serve in the children's
church or God gives you the grace to be
a businessman amen and uh if you don't
believe that let me just tell you this
okay I I I can pray for you I had one
guy last time some years ago one this
guy came to me and I recognize him I
know who he is and he told me and he's
been doing well he's a top salesman in
his uh company all right top executive
uh in his company and he came to me and
said Pastor Prince I appreciate all you
talk about you know grace and favor you
know God gives you favor without God you
know there's no favor and God gives you
favor and all but actually I I work very
hard you know so I said and you are
saying what are you saying I'm just
saying that I'm confused I'm confused
about whether it's my heart work or is
it God's
favor I said I can solve the confusion
straight away I said say what I said let
me pray for you right now okay I'm going
to lay hands on you I'm going to pray
for you right now that God withdraw
right now all divine intervention in
your life if it's protecting your heart
or your your your organs from developing
a tumor whatever it is I want him to
withdraw his intervention if he's giving
you Grace Charisma to be a success I
want him to withdraw that we can pray
right now that God remove all his grace
his favor whatever is from him I I pray
that and then at the end of the month
you will know what is from you and what
is from God I was about to lay hands on
you he said pastor uh never mind I I
just just a bit confused that so I just
want to you know I I I just just asking
only Pastor I just I just okay he's gone
man I'm telling you he was gone because
the thing is this let's solve the
problem if you are confused very easy we
owe God the very breath we
breathe you know what whatever you have
accomplished in your life God gives you
the grace to get to do it when you were
in your mother's womb there's also a
grace even unbelievers God gives them a
certain Grace you know the Bible says
every good and every perfect good is for
the people of the world that don't even
believe God he gives the rain he gives
the sunshine uh he gives a crops and and
and and and cows that give mil and all
that all this is goodness it's under
good but perfect is spiritual gifts the
gifts of the holy spirit so every good
and perfect gift is from above and
cometh down from the Father of Lights
amen amen so we have both I said we have
both medicine for example is
under good
gift
amen perfect is Divine Healing
praise God I know many of time people
trust the other side more than God's
ways but let me tell this it all comes
from God
okay now the Apostle Paul says of his
secret of success as a minister and he's
the most successful Minister ever he
says it like this for I am the least 1
Corinthians 15 of the apostles who am
not worthy to be called an apostle
because I persecuted the Church of God
but look at this by the grace of God I
am what I am and his grace towards me
was not in vain but I labored more
abundantly than they all in other words
it was possible for God to give you
Grace for something but but it's in vain
that means as far as you're concerned
the grace is there how does God do it
for example God put the grace you love
children you want to work among children
you think about working among children
God give you the grace even the desire
the Bible says it is God who works in
you the willingness and the performance
of it in Philippians so even the
willingness is is from God so you have a
desire God will never tell you to do
something to work among children and
then you got no desire for children in
fact you hate children please we don't
want you also and the children don't
want you also so in other words God will
work in something so that you can work
it out so the Bible says that Grace is
always something that comes to your
desire for something or you hear Pastor
Lawrence share about missions you know
in Philippines and all that and you have
a desire to go you have a desire to go
but then you start you start counting
the cost I can't of f to go I'm not
refering to finances I'm refering to
like you know I my time is so busy I
need to make money I need to you know
impress the boss I need to do more
things I I can't afford to take time to
go the grace came the grace gave you the
desire but you let let it be in vain and
let me tell you this God is not hard up
because go to find somebody else okay
you know the story of uh Judas who
betrayed Jesus in Acts one the Bible
says after he hung himself and all that
they actually came together to pray that
God would choose someone to fill the
position let his office another
take his office of what apostleship let
another take in other words what we
don't want God is Not Hur up in a sense
somebody else will feel it and they'll
take your blessings and they'll take
your rewards as well you understand it's
a privilege for us when God start moving
in our hearts it's a privilege for
us this excerpt is brought to you by

wonderful
we're entering into evil
times we are living in perilous times
but God does not want your hearts to be
trouble doesn't want to be in
fear the Bible says when the world gets
darker and darker the church is going to
get brighter and brighter and more and
more revelation will pour into the
church and the glory of the Lord will
rise upon the
church psalms 91 is a Psalm that God
gave for times that we are in it covers
all kinds of evil in the
world in his new book the prayer of
protection Joseph Prince shares how God
has already given us the answers to live
protected from danger and harm in Psalm
91 this entire book that I have written
called the prayer of protection is all
about the Psalms 91 the dangerous times
are upon us we need to call upon him
because only he has the answer and in
Psalms 91 verse1 it says he who dwells
in the secret place of the most high
will abide under the shadow of the
almighty now the Hebrew concept of
Shadow is protection God is promising us
protection and then he breaks down in
Psalms 391 the different facets of that
protection protection against disease
protection against uh Terror protection
against uh the powers of Darkness like
come they come against you like in a
form of fear oppression all that is
covered in Psalms 91 so I love Psalms 91

hour get your copy today and experience
