This message by Pastor Chingtok Ishaku centers on faith not just as a religious concept, but as the essential, active, and daily lifestyle required for a believer to fulfill their purpose: to usher in and represent the Kingdom of God on earth.
Key Summary Points:
Faith is Essential and Comprehensive: Faith is the only thing that pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). The same salvation that saved you from sin also provided healing, wholeness (Shalom), and the ability to live above poverty. Your faith must be comprehensive; if you believe it saves you from sin, you must believe it saves you from sickness and poverty.
The Kingdom Mandate: God saved you for "Kingdom Come." Heaven is not an escape, and your purpose is not merely to get there. You were saved to be the "son of man" upon whose shoulder God will bring the Kingdom. The well-being (riches, living above sin/sickness) is so you can reveal the Kingdom without restraint when God demands representation.
Faith is Active Daily Exercise: Faith is not defined by what you can see or by outcomes, but by use and belief. The faith you don't exercise daily will fail you when the Kingdom demands a response. Compromise includes failing to birth what God expects even when nothing is at stake.
The Path of a Man of Faith: A man of faith never takes the path of least resistance (the easiest way). He moves in the direction of conviction, revelation, and belief. Choosing the easy option is choosing to live outside of faith.
The Power of Speaking: You have a responsibility to speak what God has said. "It is not the word of faith until you speak it." The word of God goes where the voice of the man of Faith goes. A "dumb generation of believers" who do not believe in speaking prevents God's intention from being manifested on the earth.
Overcoming Earthly Constraints: Worry, fear, and covetousness are bound to the earth and are things you must disallow and resist. Worry is not normal; it is something you permit. To overcome the pressure (of the earthen vessel), you must keep your mind on the treasure (heavenly reality) and declare the word of the Lord.
Four Requirements for Kingdom Come: The Kingdom requires the Son of man, Faith, Deep Knowledge, and Sacrifice unto Death (loving not their lives unto death, Revelation 12:10-12).
