"The Faith That Conquers II," delivered by Pastor Chingtok Ishaku on Tuesday, July 8, 2025.

The central theme is the power and necessity of faith in a believer's life. The sermon explores how faith, rather than physical senses or circumstances, is the true pathway to God's will and promises.

Key Points in the Sermon

• Faith vs. Senses: Pastor Chingtok highlights that believers must not rely on their natural senses to navigate life or make decisions. Your imagination and belief in God can take you to places your physical body cannot go. The speaker emphasizes that "it is dangerous to make decisions by your natural senses" as they can compromise your judgment and lead you away from God's will.

• The Power of Belief: A core idea is that what you believe is more important than your circumstances. The pastor asserts that Satan's primary strategy is to plant lies and alter your beliefs, as this "disarms God." Your faith, or what you believe, determines your reality and is the "greatest weapon" you have.

• The Centrality of Mercy: The sermon repeatedly emphasizes the role of mercy. Pastor Chingtok states that his own decision to not rely on his senses is a mercy he has asked for. He teaches that our ability to endure tribulation comes from remembering that we have obtained mercy ourselves. You are able to extend mercy to others only after you have recognized your own frailty and received it from God. Pastor Chingtok warns against despising the mercy you've received by focusing instead on the judgment you've escaped.

• Overcoming Challenges: The sermon addresses pride, noting that it can manifest as either exalting yourself or bringing yourself down below what God expects. It reassures the audience that God is aware of their struggles and that weaknesses will "fall off as we obey." Pastor Chingtok also mentions that life is not designed to have all conditions perfect before you obey God.

The sermon concludes by stressing that all of God's promises require an "environment of faith" to be fulfilled. Ultimately, the ability to obey, defeat Satan, and receive God's blessings comes from a simple act: believing.

This teaching starts off with a faith assessment, that challenges you to shift your perspective.

We've all been there; discouraged, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do next. But what if your assessments of yourself, your failures, and your future were all wrong? What if the only opinion that truly matters is God's?

​In this teaching, we explore what it means to live a life anchored in faith, not feelings Pastor Chingtok shows you how to guard your mind against discouragement, understand that your failures don't disqualify you from God's plan, and recognize that the trials you face are often opportunities for growth.

​Learn how to use the "shield of faith" against the fiery darts of doubt and discover how God can use every situation to shape you into the person you're meant to be. It's time to stop looking at what's seen and start believing in what's unseen.

​Listen intently and start seeing your life through the lens of God's word.

This is a sermon by Evangelist Michael Onoja, focusing on the "spirit of faith." The evangelist shares his personal experiences and scriptural interpretations to illustrate how faith, particularly when it contradicts worldly or logical expectations, is the core of a Christian's life.

Key points from the sermon include:

• The Spirit of Faith: The sermon is based on the scriptures of Psalms 116:10 and 2 Corinthians 4:13, which state, "I have believed, therefore have I spoken" [00:37]. The evangelist explains that the spirit of faith believes and then speaks, a principle that governs his life and ministry [02:21].

• Trusting God over Human Logic: The speaker shares his testimony of traveling for ministry without having the necessary funds, but continuing to believe and prepare for the journey [03:58].

• The Power of Prayer and Agreement: He emphasizes the importance of a fervent prayer life, as it is the only way to check with God and receive assurance that a course of action is His will [19:03].

• God's Provision: The speaker uses scripture from 2 Peter 1:3 to assert that God has already provided everything needed for a believer's life [29:17]. He tells a personal story about his son's schooling, where despite his own poverty, he believed God would provide for his child to attend the best school [36:47].

• Living a Supernatural Life: Evangelist Michael Onoja encourages believers to live supernaturally, not based on what they see, but by the word of God. He states that a righteous man is like the wind, unpredictable and not limited by physical circumstances [22:27].

• Confronting Darkness: The sermon touches on the reality of spiritual warfare and the need for believers to be "laborers" for God's kingdom [45:32].

The sermon concludes with a powerful call to action for the congregation to rise up as "people of faith" who are not moved by what they see, but by the promises of God's word [01:03:29].

Key takeaways from the sermon include:

• Pastor Chingtok explained that our problems are related to "Kronos time," where we focus on our present troubles and not the "glory" that the trouble is birthing.

• He emphasized that God does not tempt anyone with evil; rather, He allows temptation to reveal areas of our lives that have not yet attained eternal life.

• He defines passing a trial not by the outcome, but by whether our opinion of God remains unchanged.

• He teaches that God has already blessed us with "all spiritual blessings in heavenly places" and that a person cannot bless God because "the less is blessed of the greater".

• He asserts that the true blessing of God is the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us so we "may know the things that are freely given to you by God" .

• He highlights that the problem is not a lack of blessings, but a lack of knowing and believing what we have already received.

• He encourages the congregation to exercise their faith, stating that "every Christian can raise the dead" .

• The speaker then led a prayer, instructing the congregation to command any "mountain" or obstacle to be removed by faith, as authority has been given to man.

• He concluded by leading the congregation in worship and prayer, asking God to help them "identify and eliminate everything that drowns our faith" and to manifest the power of the Holy Spirit.

"Understanding and Walking in Faith" by Reverend Hyeladi Mshelia from the God-Life Assembly Int'l Jos is a sermon that covers the following points:

• Preaching vs. Teaching: Preaching mobilizes people and stimulates faith, while teaching establishes people by granting them understanding.

• The Purpose of the Gospel: The gospel is a "corrective measure" to restore what was lost by Adam and Eve, with the ultimate goal of people carrying God's power on Earth.

• The Nature of Faith: Faith is the connection between people and God's power. It is an understanding of how God operates, even when His ways don't seem logical.

• What Faith is NOT: The sermon clarifies that faith is not a strong desire, persistence, denial, or confession alone. These are all components or acts of faith, but not the totality of it. For example, faith does not deny a problem, it adopts God's position on it [01:34:50].

• What Faith IS: Faith is the "substance of things hoped for," based on the raw material of God's revealed Word to produce what is desired.

The Senior Pastor of God-Life Assembly in Jos, Pastor Sarah Chingtok, teaches on the word of God. She says that the word is like a seed that is self-contained and has the power to perform what it promises. Pastor Sarah describes the word as alive, quick, and powerful.

This is a worship, prayer and word ministration that will help you travail in the place of prayer to birth God's will and purpose on the face of the earth.
