The primary assignment of faith is to point you to God. It is to help you believe that God is alive, regardless of your predominant circumstance.
Hebrews 11:6 KJV
But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Until you believe He is alive, the passion and zeal to pursue Him won’t be present.
Matthew 6:9 KJV
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Matthew 6:10-11 KJV
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. [11] Give us this day our daily bread.
The Lord’s prayer makes us understand that God is our father. He is Abba; source and sustainer of all things.
Also, He daily loads us with benefits.
The Word of God defines the boundaries of God’s commitment to you.
Hebrews 1:3 KJV
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Understanding your identity is a call to a settled sense of confidence.
Let your identity be defined by what God has said about you, not any other opinion.

FOLLOWERS OF THEM (The Advantage of Models & Patterns) – Apostle Joshua Selman (Koinonia Abuja)
PRINCIPLES OF PROFITABLE FOLLOWERSHIP
1. Profitable followership demands genuine connection and followership. Never follow an individual you cannot truly be committed and loyal to; it is a disservice to yourself.
2. Followership becomes profitable only when the learner or the follower remains a student. (Luke 6:40)
3. Profitable followership must factor in the limitations of the vessels that they follow. Never expect godlike perfection from the people you follow, you will be disappointed.
Guiding Principle for Models, References, and Pioneers:
_
All models must remain students themselves and never have an arrival mentality. The way models remain models is by continuing to be students while being models.
_
Humility is an antidote for shame and embarrassment.
THIS IS THE GENERATION: THE MAKING OF MIGHTY MEN BY Apostle Joshua Selman
What will make our generation different from other generations is not merely our prayers, fasting, or spiritual activities, it is a product of humility, alignment, and through an election of grace, that we receive delivery of the supernatural power of God from the realm of the Spirit, where it resides to the realm on earth where it is needed.
In essence, we do not pay the price Jesus Christ has already paid for us on the cross, we pay the price of alignment to receive delivery of what has been paid for.
