This morning, by the grace of God, I am speaking on the topic: “I Have a Wonder Faith.” Can you say with me: “I have a wonder faith.” Say it again, one more time, louder: “I have a wonder faith.” Everywhere in the world, people ask the question: “What is faith?”
And thank God, I am speaking after the staff has lifted us in faith. So my own faith is already lifted.
The Bible defines faith in Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is the confident assurance that what we are hoping for is surely going to happen. Faith is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. Everything you are believing God for in this convention shall happen for you in the name of Jesus. Faith therefore is the force that turns your identity as a wonder into a visible reality.
What is faith? Faith is that divine force that converts your God-given identity into a tangible manifestation. After this encounter, you will not only be saying “I am a wonder,” but you will also manifest as a wonder. People will see you and testify that you are a wonder. It will not just be your confession — it will become your reality. Psalm 119:130: “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
Faith does not end in the balance; faith ends on something definite. If we are talking about “wonder faith,” we must first understand what wonder means.
Genesis 1:26–28 says: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” From creation, you are already a wonder! Because you were made in the image of a Wonder-working God. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, you existed in the heart of God as a wonder. By creation, you were made to govern, to rule, to administer.
You are not ordinary. God created you as a “god” on the earth to exercise His dominion here.
Psalm 115:16 says:“The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.” So on earth, you are a god. That is why you are a wonder. Psalm 8:4–6 says: “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.”
Think about it: with all the billions of people on earth, God is still mindful of you as an individual. He crowns you with glory and honor. He puts all things under your feet. That makes you a wonder.
The Power of Faith
Jesus said in Matthew 17:20: “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Faith, no matter how small, will move mountains. This does not only mean physical mountains but the problems and challenges of life. Wonder faith stays with the problem until the solution appears. And I declare: That long-standing issue tormenting your life will give way today in the name of Jesus!
Characteristics of Wonder Faith
- Wonder Faith is Action-Oriente. Faith without works is dead. (James 2:26)
The woman with the issue of blood took action when she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment. Peter took action when he stepped out of the boat to walk on water.
Faith is not passive; it requires action. - Wonder Faith Obeys God. When God speaks, wonder faith responds with obedience. Even if it looks impossible, obedience brings manifestation.
- Wonder Faith is Consistent. It does not give up. It endures until results come.
- Wonder Faith Speaks Positively. It declares what God has said until it becomes reality. When your spirit, soul, and body align with the Word of God, you manifest as a wonder.
Declarations
I declare in the name of Jesus:
- From today, your faith shall no longer be ordinary.
- From today, your faith shall become wonder faith.
- Your faith will see, your faith will speak, your faith will endure, your faith will take action, and your faith will produce results.
From Africa to Asia, from Europe to America, from Lagos to London, I pray for everyone under the sound of my voice:
- Let your faith come alive!
- Let your soul be renewed!
- Let your body be disciplined to obey the Word of God!
From today, nothing shall limit you. You will silence your mockers. Nothing shall be impossible unto you in the name of Jesus.
Say with me:
- I believe God’s Word.
- I speak boldly.
- I act in obedience.
- I endure opposition.
- I manifest as a wonder to my generation.
As you step out of this convention, you are stepping out to manifest as a wonder to your world in the mighty name of Jesus!
