*Memory scriptures: Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Heb11vs1.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days Heb11vs30*
INTRODUCTION
One of the focus of God for us in His kingdom is to have an experience of truth in who He is (Ex.3vs14). What he did (Ps.44vs1) and what he can do again,God want everyone as believers to come to know him as a personality and his being from the experience of his previous act and doings starting from the book of the genesis, for indeed God is not doing anything new but we all need to look deep inside I mean into our self to check and balance. And position ourselves in line with the spirit of prophesy.
Note: Always have it in mind and don't forget that our journey into the spirit realm is an impact we continue to experience And we should never overlooked, we live in a time where we need to know our God; we profess faith but a reality that we have seen & known (IJhn1vs1) is yet to be unknown.
The elders walk by faith with God, they command result through faith and they see the effects everytime; but all we see around us today is the impact the devil is making everytime to make his memory to be retained at every level of influence. So many things can making effect in our times and days which were not so before such as to profess faith without its impact; in this topic understanding of faith will sink deep more than mere words but believing in what we profess of God’s word.
EXPOSITION......
FAITH: A strong belief in god even without physical proof and trust that He will do what he has promised (Heb.11vs1) or simply the fulfilling your own part in what God can do.
WHY FAITH......
-Living victoriously Heb 10vs38, Hab 2vs4b.
-Commanding result. Heb11vs2b.
-Pleasing God. Heb 11vs6.
WHY DO PEOPLE LACK FAITH.......
Lack of knowledge of God’s word (Rom.10vs17)
Fear (Mk4:40, Matt.14:26-30).....fear of the unknown, fear of what we think might not happen, sometimes we have always think that if we practice faith,it might not be effective.
Unbelief (Mk6:5, Heb.11:6b).......doubt of the unknown and not believing in what we profess is always a challenge to every believers.
Doubt (Jhn1:6)
WHAT FAITH DOES.....
Subdue Kingdom (Heb.11:32, Josh.6....

Obtaining God’s promises (ISam1:11-30)
Overcoming opposition of the devil (IPet5.8-9, Eph.6:11-12, ICorinth.10:4)
HOW TO EXERCISE FAITH.....
Revelation of God’s word (Josh.6:1-2, Lk.5:1-6)......more depth of God words in both logos and writing words, the reveal word is essential.
Obedience (Isa.1:19)......This is a key to everything in the God requires from Everyman.
Boldness and confidence (Acts 3:6-10........
.with boldness and confidence, faith comes to productivity.
Confession (Rom.10:9-10)........confession of God's words brings more validity of the effectiveness of the word.
