The Associate Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC), Tolu Odukoya, has urged believers not to waste God’s time by going before Him in unbelief.
In her message at the February 29 Thursday Showers service, the woman of God who said faith is birthed, built, and grown by a relationship with the Holy Spirit, argued that “Faith is not a product of striving but of understanding, confidence and belief.”
Speaking from Romans 10:17, Luke 11:10-13, and Hebrews 11:6, the clergywoman noted that faith is a crucial part of prayer, while prayer not accompanied by faith is an exercise in futility.
She admonished her listeners to always come to God in prayer since prayer brings them to the presence of the universe’s highest, holiest, and most powerful Being.
“If a believer chooses to pray, then, such must come to total and complete belief, for a doubting mind will receive nothing from God.
“There is a war against the unbelief system. The more you know, the more authority you have, and the more confidence you have when it comes to prayer and the things of God,” the cleric posited.
The Associate Senior Pastor further mentioned that God expects His children to believe Him totally and completely until there is a manifestation of what He told them.
In her words: “God expects His church to also move from information to revelation and manifestation, and this could only be achieved through the act of effective prayer, using the word of God and faith.”
She, therefore, encouraged believers to make a conscious effort to focus on the assignment given to them and desist from the act of unbelief, but embrace a life of praying with the word of God, using the act of faith for their faith level is hinged on whom they know God to be.
“It is highly dishonourable to ask God for a thing and think that He will not do it.”
