Lesson Text: Hebrews 11: 32- 40
“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is
Victory that has overcome the world, even our FAITH.” --1 John 5: 4
Introducing the Lesson
Life is a battlefield.
There is always a battle between the kingdom of light and
the kingdom of darkness.
The only fight believers are permitted to fight is called
‘the fight of faith’.
The victory has been won by Jesus Christ on the cross,
but it takes faith to possess and experience that victory.
Faith means to believe the Word of God and to act on it.
The only way a child of God can experience a life of
victory and success, is when he develops a winning Faith.
What is Winning Faith?
A winning Faith is the faith that triumphs.
A winning Faith is a faith that conquers.
A winning Faith sees God as bigger than any problem or
circumstance.
A winning faith is the faith that moves mountains.
A winning Faith is a faith that goes through sword and
persecution and refuses to compromise.
You cannot develop a winning Faith except you learn to
depend totally of God. (Read Jeremiah 17: 5-8)
Without a winning Faith you can never enter into the
fullness of God’s blessings.
Without a winning Faith you can never experience divine
promotion in life.
Unbelief and doubt is a sin against God.
Prayer without faith is powerless and fruitless.
