I heard Pastor Prince's sermon 'Speaking God's Language of Faith' a few times because it is really such a fantastic sermon. But today when I heard it again, this message jumped at me.
You might have heard it before. Sometimes people say that faith is like this: when you believe or confess long enough, the thing that you desired which didn't exist will eventually materialise. Pastor Prince explained it like this. Actually it is not that the thing you desired never existed. The fact that you cannot see it with your physical eyes doesn't mean that it didn't exist.
The truth is that long before we believe or confess it, God had already seen the reality come to pass in our lives. For example, long before Abraham had a child, God already saw him as a father of many nations. God lives outside of time. He saw the future in Abraham if it has already happened. It heartens me to know that when God sees me, He sees me as a happy mother of children at home long before I even had that desire.
So, when we believe and confess God's promise for us, faith is actually about seeing reality from God's perspectives. We are agreeing with what God is doing in our lives and rejoicing in faith before we see the physical manifestation. Pastor Prince also mentioned that when the manifestation comes, we are not as excited as before. The reason is that some time ago, we have already rejoiced and celebrated the victory in faith. That is really so true.
Today, I would like challenge you to start seeing yourself as how God sees you - prosperous, healthy, strong, blessed, highly favoured and deeply loved!
