Faith is not a beggarly force; it is a conquering force. Faith is the victory thatovercomes the world (Daniel 3:1-18). It is faith that moves the hand of God towork on our behalf and makes us conquer (Romans 8:37).

Faith is not a dormant force it is a violent force (Mark 2:1-12). Daniel did not begwhen he was thrown into the lion’s den because he had tremendous faith in God(Daniel 6:3-22). To deactivate the works of the enemy, we need faith.

As children of God almighty we must fight the good fight of faith. Life is not fair; itdoes not give us what we deserve. Rather, life gives us what we demand by faith(Matthew 11:12). Faith is one of the weapons of our warfare against the devil.There are several signs of a true believer and one of the signs is the power to castout demons as we fight the good fight of faith (Mark 16:18). In other to reach thepromised land, there are giants lying in wait (Deuteronomy 2:24). As such, we needto be spiritually equipped to fight. There will always be viruses attacking us andeven though they come like a flood, God will lift up a standard against it (Isaiah59:19). God’s word also says at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ everyknee shall bow (Philippians 2:10). However, we need to engage in the power ofviolent faith to sail through the challenges we encounter. Previously, we learnt that faith is not a religious theory, but a mystery of theKingdom and we established that faith is not a gentle touch but a violent force.Faith is also a fight and it is the master-key to a world of unlimited possibilities. It is taking full responsibility in light of God’s word. We then highlighted the brands ofwine that trigger violent faith and these wines include the Holy Ghost Wine,Revelation Wine, Prayer Wine and Testimony Wine. Finally, we concluded thatviolent faith is fearless and spiritually resolute as we established the characteristicsof violent faith. In this edition, we learn more about how to engage violent faith forour supernatural breakthrough. WHAT IS FAITH?

WHY DO WE NEED VIOLENT FAITH?There is always a ‘Red Sea’ to cross before we get to our promised land and weneed violent face to get across (Exodus 13:17-18; Isaiah 30:21). Every challengewe face builds us up for the next level of our breakthrough.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou artalso called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.(1 Timothy 6:12) Kings James Version

THE VISION WINE- Vision is God’s mandate for our life (Habakkuk 2: 1-20). It isthe unfolding of Gods plan in our lives: What we see is what we seize. If we cansee where we are going, nothing can stop us. When we know our vision, wehardly sleep because the vision wine drives us, and it makes us unstoppable (1Corinthians 9:16). It is vital that we have enough spiritual fire to propel us to ourGod given destiny through our vision. We write our vision and check it as Godspeaks to us. If it is not documented, then it is not a vision (Jeremiah 20:9).

THE LOVE WINE- The love wine is a strong trigger for violent faith (1 John4:18). If we truly love God, nobody can stop us. It was the love trigger thatbrought Jesus Christ down to us (John 3:16). Love driven believers areintoxicated believers and they do not allow anything to separate them from God(Romans 8:35-38). It takes a heart that loves God to damn all the consequencesand still have faith in Him (Daniel 3:17).

It carries more than a conqueror disposition in battle - A man that hasviolent faith carries a more than conqueror disposition in battle. His eyes shallbe red with wine and it's teeth like milk (Genesis 49:12). No matter thechallenge, a conqueror sees victory (Proverbs 30:30).

It is authoritative and assertive - Men of violent faith are authoritative andassertive (Mark 4:35-41). They speak with authority and have no fear becausethey speak knowing that they are backed by the power in Jesus Christ. In thejourney of life there will always be challenges but we must ensure that Jesus isin our boat. The absence of Christ in our life leads to a life of crisis. We mustpray without fear, be bold and authoritative. We must never be afraid becausethe devil magnifies the problem through fear.

SPIRITUAL BRANDS OF WINE THAT TRIGGER VIOLENT FAITH

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VIOLENCE OF FAITH?

GOD’S COVENANT FOR BREAKING LIMITS IN BUSINESS AND CAREER

What is a Business?

A business is any activity we engage in for the purpose of profiting. As children ofGod we are pacesetters and we are to teach other people instead of being taught. What is a Breakthrough?A breakthrough is an outstanding accomplishment; a notable achievement thatcannot be denied (Matthew 5:13). In other to have access to breakthrough in ourbusinesses we must understand what it takes to excel in our chosen field.However, we must know God is the owner of the business and we are thecaretakers.

The force of knowledge - What will change our level is what we know. Newlight will take us to new heights (Isaiah 60:1). If we desire to go higher, we mustacquire more knowledge (Mark 10:17; Isaiah 5:13). Every breakthrough isrooted in the word of God (Joshua 21:45; Deuteronomy 28:1-13; John 2:5.The force of faith - We need faith to see beyond the limitations now, God cangive us a global vision, but the scope is determined by our faith (Mathew 9:29).We need faith to see big and to silence the opposition (Ephesians 6:15).The force of wisdom - Wisdom is knowing what to do and doing it. We mustavoid eating our tithes. We ought to look out for the less privileged in societyand help as much as we can (Ephesians 6:16).The force of diligence - Diligence is the ladder to business breakthrough so wemust be serious about our business. When we are good at what we do, wecannot be dropped. We must be diligent in prayer and research and nevermortgage our future for today (Proverbs 22:29).The force of integrity - We must be honest and uphold moral standards, doingwhat is right always. The force of divine direction - Always pray and seek God for divine directionat every given turn (Genesis 26:12; Isaiah 48:17-18).The force of right association - Choose our business partners carefully andwe must have the spirit of discernment because the devil comes in differentdisguises (Proverbs 13:20).The force of appreciation - Our attitude will determine our altitude in life, so wespeak positively about what we do and above all, we keep appreciating God (1Corinthians 10:31).The force of faithful stewardship - Trade the present for the future, invest intothe future.The force of joy - Be joyful always (Psalm 80:9).

As caretakers, we are responsible to God and when we partner with God, wecannot be defeated (Romans 8:31; Mark 16:20). We need to receive continuousguidance from God (Luke 5:1-8). We must also aim to promote God’s kingdomthrough our business (Matthew 6:33). Likewise, must we engage our minds forcontinuous learning because our reasoning limits our rising.

DIVINE HEALING VIA THE ANOINTING OIL - KATE O.The year 2017 was a memorable year for my family as two of my children gotmarried and my daughter had a baby. I was also miraculously healed of pains whichhad persisted since 2015. I had carried out several tests and scans, but the doctorcould not diagnose the root cause. During Shiloh 2017 (Annual church convention) Iheard a testimony on healing and asked God to heal me as he had healed thetestifiers. I kept praying and applying the anointing oil. My daughter recently askedme about the pain, and I realised that it was gone. I have returned to give all glory toan awesome God.

DIVINE HEALING AND PRESERVATION – PENE H.I recently travelled overseas to see my parents. During the trip I was involved in a caraccident but to the glory of God there was no harm to me, my two children and mysister who were travelling with me. Additionally, I’d like to thank God for divinehealing as I became ill during the trip. I had suffered a similar illness before but onthis occasion, it lasted only a couple of days and I did not have to see a doctor. Iapplied the anointing oil and mantle (anointed cloth). I also kept on praying andbelieving the word of God and I received my healing.

DIVINE HEALING OF FRACTURED TIBIA - YVONNE M.My son fractured his tibia and the doctor advised that a surgery may need to becarried out. However, last week following a scan the doctor advised the surgery wasno longer needed. The Sunday school teachers were praying for him and he is nowhale and hearty.

MIRACLE JOB – NIKE V.

The pastor prayed that our lives will be fruitful on the covenant day of fruitfulness.On the same day I applied for a role I desired. I got the job after five months of jobsearching. I have returned to give God all the glory.

DIVINE EXEMPTION - MARY S.I have come to return all the glory to God for divine exemption. I was contacted by aguest of mine in November 2019 that he wanted to host his family in my premises. InDecember, his family of five visited but they were constantly taking long baths usinga dermatology soap and sometimes covered their faces. Additionally, one of theguests became sick and I was troubled in my spirit as my mum and my child werestaying with me at the time. I confided in my sister who advised me to request theguests to leave. I prayed about it and received assurance from God’s word that Hewill not be mocked. I applied the anointing oil in the house. Following the One Nightwith the King (Church service) the guests checked out on their own accord two weeksahead of schedule. I thank God for exempting me and my family from sickness.

DELIVERANCE FROM UNTIMELY DEATH - KENNETH O.I thank God for delivering my children from untimely death. During the week ofSpiritual Emphasis, I had a troubling dream. I contacted my son in Nigeria to observethe three days of fast that week. We prayed that every tree that God had not plantedshould be removed. On the Saturday of that week while playing in front of the house,lightning struck the palm tree in the premises. The lightning struck three of my kids tothe floor and the tree caught fire. They couldn’t move but they beckoned on someoneinside the house to fetch the blood of sprinkling which I had left the last time I visited.It was applied on my children and they regained their mobility. I thank God forpreserving my children.

In 2018 shecame back to Nigeria so we could revaluate our circumstances. We decided she wouldreturn to the UK with the children since they had their passports. My businessdeteriorated after they left but God intervened in 2019 and my business was revived.We decided to try again for my visa and during Shiloh 2019 (Annual churchconvention) we sowed part of the visa application fee as our Shiloh sacrifice. I alsoparticipated in the January prayer and fasting season and believed God for abreakthrough. In February 2020, I sowed an additional sacrificial seed and my visawas released. All the resources that was needed God supplied and I have come toreturn all glory to God.
