During Asia Conference at end of May 2010, Dr. David Yonggi Cho was invited to City Harvest Church to preach and though i did not understand every word he preached during the conference, i was really inspired by just his presence alone and there was a desire since to want to know his secret of building a great and largest church in Seoul, South Korea and of course, this great man's lifestyle. So i bought 3 of his books which included, 'the fourth dimension volume one' and 'the fourth dimension volume two'.
In 'the fourth dimension volume one', Dr. Cho talked about more about practical faith and its process. As discussed in the bible that 'faith is the substance of things hoped for.' So what are the elements needed to make our faith usable? There are four basic steps to the process of incubation.
1) First, to use your faih, you must be able to envision a CLEAR-CUT OBJECTIVE. If you have only a vague idea about your goal, then you are out of touch with the One who could answer your prayer. You must have a clear and defined faith goal. You must ask DEFINTELY and SPECIFICALLY because the Lord never welcomes vague prayers.
2) Secondly, you should have a BURNING DESIRE for those objectives. God does not like the lukewarm, for He specializes only in the red-hot; if you have that red-hot burning desire, then you are going to have results..
3) Third, you must have the substance, or ASSURANCE. When you have a clear goal, and you have this desire burning in your heart to a boiling point, then you should kneel down and PRAY UNTIL you receive the substance, the assuarance.
4) Fourth, you should show evidence of your faith and SPEAK THE WORD, calling 'those things which be not as if they were'. Claim and speak the word of assurance, for your word actually goes out and creates. God spoke and the whole world came into being. Your word is the material which the Holy Spirit uses to create. There are times for you to pray, but there are also times for you to give the command. You must pray through your prayer closet, but when you come out to the battlefield, you are coming to give the word of creation.
