Daniel 10:11, HOW DO YOU PLEASE GOD? Through Faith.......your FAITH. When you have Hope, you draw God closer to you. Anyone exercising Faith in his life is likely to Please God. It is only by Faith that you can Please God. 2 Corinthians 10:3 “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.” It means that there is a war in this life. As long as you are Alive, you are in a battle: whether you like it or not. You can only gain Victory through Faith. If you l ose hope, then victory shall never come. Faith is a Person and not a gift. It is Alive and also Speaks. The Word says that Faith is an ACTION. James 2:17 “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Jesus shows Faith as a Person who can live or die. Faith can diminish. Mark 5:34 “And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” Jesus said your Faith has healed you. Which one? Faith. When you have lost Faith, the J

Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:12 “for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” There is a war to in order to gain Faith. The devil will  do anything to stop you from a having Faith. Daniel 10:11 “And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.” You cannot have Faith unless you show that you can PLEASE God. Why did God give Daniel HIS Mind? So that he can use Faith well. This is the reason HE sent His mind. Which MIND? UNDERSTANDING.

No OBSTACLE can stop Faith because Faith is God. Obstacles cannot stop Faith because Faith created them. Faith is the Spirit that works with Jesus. If you have Jesus, then you have FAITH and that is why we call Him “EMMANUEL”. Jesus is Faith. It is only by Faith that God can come and dwell in you. Anyone who carries Faith, carries God.  Which God? The SON of the LIVING GOD. There are three things remaining in the Bible: - Hope, Faith and Love. Love is the greatest of them all. The Spirit of Hope dwells in man (you). When God breathed into man; it is the Spirit of Hope that got into man. Faith dwells in Jesus and Love dwells in God (The FATHER). Anyone who bears Hope can meet with God because it is a part of God in him. The Spirit of Hope gives you EXPECTATION. God decided to show HIS Love so that we can gain Faith. If you no longer have Hope you die. If you still have Hope, you Live. When you have Hope you can gain Wealth and without Hope you become poor. © Serv

FAITH IS A SPIRIT IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM. Hebrews 11:1b “It is proof of what we cannot see.” Faith is the truth that cannot be seen. Why? Because Faith is a Spirit and can therefore not be seen with your natural eye. When you have it, you are in Spirit and also when you act accordingly, you are in Spirit.  When you are in Spirit you feel things in Spirit. Faith cannot be hindered by anything.  Faith is the Spirit of God. It is the Spirit that God used to create the earth. Through Faith, God created the World. Why do I say that Faith is a creating Spirit? Faith is Expectation. God expected something and did it, and it happened. When you have Faith, nothing is impossible. When Faith comes to a person, it gives us one thing; which is the word “FEAR NOT”. Because Faith conquers fear. © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD (Part 5) John 15:4 “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” Jesus is the one who decide to be with you, and HE came into you after you accepted to receive HIM as your Lord and Savior. Thus, begin the journey of you going to HIM (Jesus) so that you may be called by HIS name. Go into HIM just as HE came within you. HOW DO YOU GET WITHIN HIM? You get into HIM by staying away from the evil malice day after day. When you stay within HIM, your identity will be visible.  © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD (Part 4) Isaiah 53:4-5 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” If you get sick all the time, go unto the WORD of God. The Word says that, by His stripes we are healed; this means that you received your healing before the disease came. Thus you need to go back to where Jesus was (at the cross) and tell your soul that Jesus died for you, HE paid the price for every debt, sickness, diseases, failure and everything; thus Jesus died for you so that you may be healed. © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD (Part 3) Depart from the old things, since you are a new creature in Christ Jesus. ·           In order for you to be transformed, you must drink the sincere Milk of the WORD of God. Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” There is Power that has been commanded to dwell in you, and all the time you renew it by the understanding of the WORD. By looking at the Word daily, the Power within you builds you Spiritually. A person who is perfected Spiritually, is like a tree planted by the Sides of water. The WORD is there to pull what is not in existence, so that it may come into EXISTENCE.  © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD (Part 2) WITHOUT THE SINCERE MILK (THE WORD) YOU WILL NEVER DO THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD. Once you have swallowed the WORD of God and allowed it to dwell in you, you will do the Work of God cheerfully without murmuring. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” When you become born again, after you receive Jesus as your LORD and SAVIOR; you are like born baby. Thus, this baby within you grows according to the WORD delivered to you. If you don’t swallow the good Word, you may remain a baby no matter how many years you have been in Salvation. You may be a preacher or serving God but you may still be a liar, hypocrite and so more due to lack of the truth (the WORD) within you. ·           When the Word dwells in you, it lightens your Way. ·           When the Truth is in you, it edifies you. THE FIRST THING AFTER BEING BORN

THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD (Part 1) We are in the year of Victory, no matter what; victory has been granted unto you. YOU ARE A VICTOR 1 Peter 2:1-3 “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” This passage helps us to understand the purpose of salvation. There are things of God that have been laid for the people of the world and there are those that have been laid only for HIM. There are things that have been laid for the devil as well, thus you need to categorize these areas by understanding which belongs to who! Keep aside all the evil doings far away from you, since evil belongs to the kingdom of darkness. WHY KEEP AWAY DARKNESS? It is because darkness is for the devil’s activities. For those who belong to the Kingdom of light (the born again), they should lay aside all

THE CHARACTERS WHICH ARE DANGEROUS IN LIFE ·           Wandering Acts 19:13 When you have the character of wandering and when your mind is wandering, demons will never leave you. © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE CHARACTERS WHICH ARE DANGEROUS IN LIFE ·           Jealous Acts 19:23 “And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.” A jealous person has the convincing power to cause others to be like him. All the time they think that when their colleagues blossom, they will take their positions and they always want others to fall so that they may rise. The jealous use the backs of others so that they may go forward and they won’t rest until they finish you. When the character of Jealousness is upon somebody, he/she will do anything possible so that they may succeed and that you may be finished. © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE CHARACTERS WHICH ARE DANGEROUS IN LIFE ·           Anger Jonah 3:1-10 Jonah 4:1 “But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry…………….” 1.        Anger does not fulfill the WILL of others, all the time it looks at itself (an angry person is always selfish). 2.        Anger does not think about God. Once a person becomes angry, he/she never respects God. 3.        Anger will never act with Compassion. ·          Any person with anger, does not want to be criticized or corrected. ·          Anyone with anger does not want to listen. 4.        A person with anger will always run away from the Presence of the Lord. 5.        A person with anger will always have bitterness. 6.        A person with anger will end up acting with stupidity. ·          A person with anger dies prematurely. © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.

THE CHARACTERS WHICH ARE DANGEROUS IN LIFE ·           Carelessness (recklessness). 1 Samuel 2:27-36 “ And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house? And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?…………..” Carelessness is what causes a family to die prematurely. Carelessness doesn’t let you reach the old age, but you will die prematurely. If you don’t care concerning WHY YOU ARE HERE on earth or about your EXISTENCE, you will die prematurely. If you allow the state of Carelessness your generation becomes the generation of the needy. If you allow the state of Carelessness, your generation shall not taste Greatness, thus they become the generation of Laborers

THE CHARACTERS WHICH ARE DANGEROUS IN LIFE ·           Lack of consideration. Leviticus 10:1-11 “ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD…….” How do you reach the point of lack of consideration? Once you desire to be like others, this is when you reach the point of lack of consideration. Lack of consideration causes death. Lack of consideration with cause you to face premature death. © Servant of GOD Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira, EFATHA MINISTRY.
