Faith Comes by Hearing (Summary)

Preacher: AP. Abiola Tayo-Oyetibo

            Training weekend, this involves the Sunday School department, the Bible College and the School of Mission, so today is our grand finale and our topic is ‘Faith Comes by Hearing’; our text, we are going to read Romans 10: 14 – 17.

What is faith? There are so many definitions but of course, the one we have in the Bible is Hebrews 11: 1 & 2.  I gave one definition in my own way; I said faith is ‘it can happen and it will happen’, ‘I can do it and I will do it’.

• Without faith, we cannot even say we are Christians.
• The object of faith is the person and the work of Jesus Christ and that is why we are here.
• Faith is when we worship God even in difficult times.
• As children of God we are already conquerors; Romans 8: 37.

How does faith not come?

• Faith does not come by memorizing.

How do we hear?

• We need to study, 2nd Timothy 2: 15.
• We need to fellowship according to Hebrews 10: 25.
• We need to be intentional about our relationship with God.
• Learn to call on God because He always is there to answer us, Jeremiah 29: 12 – 14a.

The essentials about things the word of God produces.

• The word of God must be heard.
• Faith in the matter of salvation, 1st Corinthians 1: 17 & 18.
• We need to testify about what we have heard based on the word of God, Acts 4: 20.

Some examples of faith that comes by hearing;

• The story of the man who was crippled from the womb, Acts 14: 7 – 10.
• The woman with the issue of blood, Mark 5: 27, 28 & 34.
• The Samaritan woman, John 4: 28 – 30.
• The demon possessed man who was emptied of demons by the word of Jesus, Mark 5: 18 – 20.

So what are the realities?

• We cannot force salvation on anyone.
• It’s not a magic formula.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
