Standing On The Promises (The Potency Of Word Derived Faith) by Apostle Selman

I hear in my spirit “The making of Champions-men who are helped by God”. Go ahead and turn this prophetic word into a prayer.
Pray in the Spirit and make declarations of faith over your life and destiny.

I can hear in my spirit “THE MAKING OF CHAMPIONS”.

There is a way champions are made and if you follow the path as ordained by God, you must become a champion.
Lift your voice and begin to make declarations of faith, turning the prophetic word into a prayer.
Declare: I have found my way to victory! I have found my way to being a generational blessing! I have found the way that turns failures into success; I have found the way of champions, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Declare: I AM A CHAMPION!

When it has to do with knowing God, the pursuit of Him is infinite layer after layer, a never-ending knowledge of who He is.
But when it has to do with victory and dominion upon the earth, the laws are finite and you can lay hold on them on time!
Be patient with God, He makes men and makes them THOROUGHLY!

When it has to do with knowing God, the pursuit to know Him is infinite. We can never exhaust the knowledge of God.

But when it has to do with dominion and victory on earth, the laws are finite, and it can be known!

“And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.” Jeremiah‬ ‭30‬:‭19‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

Jesus Christ came to give us life beyond religion and a Christian experience. He came to give us life and to give us the fullness of His life.

For you, the Believer at Koinonia, your being here is not mere religion, you are here because you have found life beyond mere religion.

We’re gathered in Koinonia to access the divine grace of God; the ability to operate in the God-class!
God imparts grace; grace upgrades you. You can grow in grace evidentially that your life testifies!

A winner’s prophecy in partnership with a loser’s mentality will still produce a failure. It doesn’t matter how great the things God has spoken concerning you are, if you have a loser’s mentality, you can make that prophetic word fall to the ground.

We are gathered here, tonight to access the divine grace of God, the ability to operate and function in the God class, far and high above the viscittudes of life.
Grace upgrades you, it empowers you. You can grow in grace evidentially!

Your passion for God should not just end in prayer, fasting, Bible study, and church attendance; it must extend to birthing and executing His will first in your life and across the earth.

As a Believer, your assignment is to remain diligent and submissive to the Word of God and dealings of God.
You must trust the process in your walk with God, even before there’s a manifestation. When you trust the process, you begin to manifest the qualities of God

Your Assignment as a Believer to what God is doing:

– Remain diligent
– Remain submissive to the Word of God
– Trust the process

I pray for you: that in a very short time, a time as short as this week coming, may your life become a manifestation of the words you hear, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Breathe Upon by Apostle Selman

PROPHECY: I declare that the nations will glorify God through you. Nations will corporately call you a blessing, they will acknowledge His hand upon your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

PROPHECY: Allow God to make you. He has already saved you; allow Him to make you.
You are emerging, a little here and a little there; the prophet is rising, Deborah is rising, an Esther is rising, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Submit yourself to The Holy Spirit. This is how God makes men.

Wherever you choose to stop in God will define the area of your limitation in God.
Ensure you’re pressing into God with hunger and decide to never plateau in life.

“Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

Intimacy with God depends on certain factors:

1. Deep levels of consecration
2. A rich and healthy prayer life
3. Consistent Worship
4. Meditation

When it comes to manifesting dominion, three key dimensions must be in place:
1. Wisdom
2. Faith
3. Power

Generally, wisdom is the correct application of knowledge but in this context, it is the “TRUTH” in itself. It is a thorough understanding of God’s principles and promises.

Three (3) Key Areas to Manifesting Dominion and Victory on The Earth:

1. The wisdom of God (the body of light that produces results).
It is a thorough understanding of His principles.
2. Faith
Understand the dynamics of engaging with and committing God to make good His promises in your life. Faith does not just connect you to God, it also connects you to the power of God.
3. Power
It is the divine force that sponsors supernatural results, outcomes, and manifesting unexplainable results.
You will never access dominion in the Kingdom without the three major areas above. (Acts 6:7-10)

You can never truly walk in dominion without an understanding of wisdom, the power of faith, and the dynamics of power.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

In manifesting God to the fullest, you need that which is of natural origin, like your skill, and your intellect, but being natural alone cannot manifest the supernatural life.
You cannot manifest God’s life by being natural. You must rise and outsource abilities beyond your reach.
The one who embraces the advantage of The Spirit in addition to the abilities God has given him or her is the one who will manifest dominion upon the earth.

I pray for you: Your faith and your dependence will go beyond the realm of flesh and your abilities, in the name of Jesus Christ!

We must never assume that everyone has heard about God and the gospel of Christ. We must keep pressing to make Jesus Christ known across the globe.
What Salvation Means:
1. You are born of God (John 1: 13)
2. You are born of the Spirit (John 3: 3-6)
3. You are born of the incorruptible seed of God’s Word (1 Peter 1: 23)

How Can You Get Saved (The path to becoming born again)?
Salvation comes through hearing and believing the gospel of salvation. (1 Cor 15:1-8, Romans 10:8-9)
From a spiritual standpoint, the greatest need of any unbeliever is salvation.

Declare: I believe in Jesus Christ!

Word-derived faith is a Kingdom reality reserved for Believers, not for the unsaved. Until you are part of the fold, you cannot truly enjoy the fatherhood dimension of God.

With this understanding, you can stand confidently knowing that The Father is on your side because you’re saved. Being saved is worth celebrating!

God’s way of bringing people to the saving knowledge of Christ is by Hearing and Believing the Gospel of salvation. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8, Romans 10:8-10)

The Believer who will produce potent Word-defined faith must have a thorough knowledge of the principles of the Kingdom. You cannot be victorious as far as dominion is concerned if you do not have this thorough knowledge.

You must understand the extent of God’s commitment to you, alongside the dynamics of activating that commitment.

God is committed to every Believer, but you must understand the dynamics of that commitment, to understand the extent of God’s Fatherhood in your life.

If you don’t understand the ways of God, Satan will deceive you into hating God because you will credit all mishaps to Him or attribute the source of your pain to God. He takes advantage of your pain to discredit God. But God is faithful, dependable, and committed to you.

You cannot trust God in ignorance until you know the extent of God’s commitment and how far God is willing to go on your behalf.

When you understand how far God is willing to go on your behalf, it becomes an anchor to your faith.

Your victory as a Believer starts by knowing the knowledge of the promises of God for your life. The knowledge will make you insist against the devil’s deception that God’s promises will not manifest in your life.

The promises of God, as written in the Bible, show us as Believers the extent of the boundary of God’s commitment to us.

You must derive your identity from who Christ is, not what the world thinks you are.

Life doesn’t respond to everyone the same — it responds to the instructions you receive and apply. You can instruct life to bless you based on the promises of God derived from His Word.

Let your life be defined by the truth of who God is, not the shifting opinions of men.

Eternally, the Believer is above Satan. Our warfare is not a mere fight, it is establishing the victory in Christ over Satan, insisting that The Word of God prevails.

Five (5) Demands to Manifesting Dominion and Victory Through Faith:

1. You must be genuinely connected to God through salvation.
(Matthew 4:4, John 1:13-14, John 3:3-6, 1 Peter 1:23)
2. You must have a thorough knowledge of the promises of God and the principles of the Kingdom.
(2 Peter 1:4, Job 38:33 (NIV).
3. You must understand the concept of God’s will and God’s plan for your life.
(Matthew 6:10)
The will of God purifies our desires.

The more you understand the extent of God’s commitment to you, the more your confidence and boldness.

Everything in the Kingdom revolves around the will of God (Matthew 6:10).
_
The will of God purifies our desires, and it only leaves the ones that are consistent with His programs for our lives.

The Bible contains a vast array of many promises that can be prophetic, but without discernment, there’s a tendency for abuse—quoting scriptures out of context or outside God’s will.
The way out of this is to submit every promise received under the radar of God’s will. His will refines and purifies our desires.

Desires are not wrong, but they must be filtered through the will of God. His will must be the radar that checks, balances, and purifies our desires—ensuring that only those consistent with the will of God pass the test for final manifestation.

The will of God should be a final purifier of every Believer’s desire.
_
When your will dies and you accept the will of God for your life, you will receive glory beyond your bargain.

When God is working in you, the goal is to reveal His glory in your life. God is only committed to granting your requests that are consistent with His will.

When you pray and make requests about your desires, you must trust the judgment of God over your life.
_
The Believer who will see the promises of God manifest in their lives is the Believer who has died to self, enough to see the glory of God manifest, through His will.

Declare: Father, I lay down my will for Your will to be done in my life.

Five (5) Demands to Manifesting Dominion and Victory Through Faith:

4. Prayer – You cannot stand on the promises of God and watch its birth manifestation if you do not pray.
Two Levels of Prayer:
1. Verify if it’s the will of God (the prayer of inquiry). – Don’t assume.
Never take any major step in your life without prayer.
2. Prayer as your partnership in birthing the known will of God for your life.

5. Complete Obedience– You will never see prophecy come to pass, without walking in complete obedience.
It’s not enough to know what God has said; you must actually do it to see a manifestation.

When you pray and make requests about your desires, you must trust the judgment of God over your life.

It is cheaper to obey God than to go against His will, and return after facing the repercussions of going your own way.

Our confidence in our faith walk is a by-product of knowing that we are in the will of God. (Colossians 4:12)

When you stand upon the promises of God, the basis for your audacity is derived from knowing your expectations and desires have been purified by God’s will.

Pray: Lord, I obtain grace to walk in Your will. I obtain grace to submit my desires to You.

Until your desires and expectations align with God’s will and plan for your life, He is not committed to bringing them to pass.

God’s commitment to you is not just dependent on His integrity, it is also dependent on the degree and extent your desires align with His will.

There is joy when we let His will come to pass in our lives.

I pray for you: In the name of Jesus Christ, from today, you will not just do life by yourself, you will run your life using the lens of God’s will, in the name of Jesus Christ

There are many ways God confirms His will; most times it comes through scriptures that are communicated as a Rhema-word.

Never make any major destiny-defining step in your life without praying.

God’s will doesn’t always fight man’s will because it is God that works in us to “Will” and to “Do”. You can grow to the point where your desires are aligned with God’s will.

When the will of God is not in view, the first assignment for the Believer is to verify it in the place of prayer.

In the name of Jesus Christ, that which God has spoken will not delay again!

How God reveals His will when you pray:

1. Directly through dreams, visions, etc.
2. By bringing a Scriptural revelation.
3. By the Rhema Word.

While you wait, PRAY!

To see a manifestation of the prophetic word God has declared over your life, you must engage with it. While you wait, pray with Scriptures in faith, as you anticipate a manifestation!

I pray for you: Get ready for pleasant surprises in the days to come. You will dance your way here to come and testify, in the name of Jesus Christ! The siege of delay is removed from your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Declare: I WILL PRAY!

When you find out the will of God for your life, before you act, PRAY. When you’re acting out the will, PRAY. When you have acted in obedience, continue in PRAYER.

Standing on the promises of God doesn’t mean that you have to wait all your life for it. While you wait, Pray

Lift up your voice and pray, declaring the manifestation of God’s will in your life.
Make contact with someone and pray: I join my faith with yours for a speedy manifestation of God’s promises.

Pray: Lord, my eyes are ready to see the manifestation of Your promises. I’m ready for my hands to handle Your promises. I’m ready to see Your goodness and Your mercy. I stand on Your promises, in Jesus Christ’s name!

As Believers, it’s important to discern how God lifts; we must learn to trust God beyond our feelings

You will never see prophecy come to pass while walking in disobedience.
Obedience, like prayer, is like a vapor that rises to the sky: when it’s complete, it will rain down its effects.

Prophecy: You’re entering a new season and God will announce you! Nations will place a demand on your life. You will know that your season has come!
I declare that it’s a new season for you! An anointing rests upon you now. Step into strange and deeper levels of God’s grace. No power will fight your rising, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Many of us are not ignorant of the will of God; what we lack is the grace to “Do.” You must cry out to God for the grace of delightsome obedience.

Pray: Father, I receive the grace for delightsome obedience in my walk with you, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Don’t just stay at what God says to do, proceed further and prayerfully do them in obedience.

Your destiny is at the mercy of your obedience, not just God’s power. God’s power is only made manifest in your life at the instance of your obedience.

I pray that God will raise Believers from this teaching that is unshakeable!
I decree and declare that you will not fail; with your eyes, you will see your life go from glory to glory! And every power that tries to fight this word over your life, in the name of Jesus Christ, that power is buried, tonight!
I declare that the level you are not manifesting today, the Word of God, and your obedience will cause you to go there!
The kind of honor that befits you, that you’re not yet receiving, the Word of God will magnify you and take you to that place of honor, in the name of Jesus Christ!

In the name of Jesus Christ, may your week beginning be blessed!
I decree and declare that this week, let it be pleasant surprises for you, in the name of Jesus Christ! From Sunday to Sunday, pleasant surprises in the name of Jesus Christ!

I declare that the rod of the wicked will not rest upon the lot of the righteous in your life. Tragedy is too late to arrive in your life! You’re too late to arrive for tragedy, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I pray that God will raise helpers for you. And I pray that God will raise lifters for you, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare that the works of your hands are blessed this week. I declare that you operate in supernatural wisdom. Let favor follow you all the days of the week, testimony after testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I declare that every programming for your downfall, we declare it aborted, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare and decree glory to glory order of testimonies, favor to favor the order of testimonies, lifting to lifting order of testimonies, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I pray for your prayer life: it will wax hotter and hotter; I pray for your Word-study life: greater levels of diligence in studying the Word, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I declare that you will encounter good news all through this week. For those traveling, your trips are blessed in the name of Jesus Christ!

Whatever you came here with that is a reason for concern, I join my faith with you, in the name of Jesus Christ that it drops dead right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I call you Beulah and Hephzibah! You are a well-watered garden, in the name of Jesus Christ! Many will join you in celebrating the hand of God over your life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

We are in the days of His power and this calls for personal revival and spiritual awakening.
Are you yet to heed the call of Jesus Christ? Tonight, He is reaching out to you once again, ready to show you a path that leads to life and eternal glory.
Take this bold step of faith and begin the journey of salvation by saying “yes” to Jesus Christ. With faith in your heart, declare this prayer of salvation to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

”I say unto you, that likewise, joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.“ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭7‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)
_
If you’ve made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior tonight, we celebrate you, and Heaven rejoices with you! We would love to hear from you and walk alongside you on your new Christian journey.
