Faith Plans
By Apostle Aje Pelser, preached at Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town

Faith plans have spiritual components that release your dreams into your reality.
1. Holy Spirit baptism. Read the account in Acts 2 and realize that the Holy Spirit opens up the spiritual world to those who are baptised in water and spirit in Jesus name.

2. Visions and Dreams – have a clear picture. 1 Cor. 2:9,10 “eye has not seen… but by My Spirit”

3. Understand God’s Will to answer your prayers in Jesus’ name. 1 John 5:14, 15. Joh 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. Joh 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

4. Plan in pencil. – His ways are higher than our ways. Isa. 55:9 People need water and God creates a water cycle.

5. Dovetail your vision with that of the church. His purpose is to prepare His Bride the church for the return of the King, the Bridegroom for the great wedding feast of the Lamb! If you help Jesus with His dream the Church, He will make your dreams come true. Just ask: “How can my faith plans benefit the church?” Then you will also realize how the church can assist and share in the realization of your dream. See the riches in the saints and they will see the riches in you too. Think Body! Think Global Move! Think Orbital Network versus just struggling on your own.

6. Make a sacrifice. Show God you believe. Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac and God provided a ram caught in the thicket. Before we embark on any new mission or start any new move of God, there is an opportunity to make a great sacrifice that will shake heaven and earth. Demons know the force of sacrificial giving and try to prevent people from doing anything for the church or missions to go and make disciples of Jesus Christ. Since we have sacrificed our art for missions, God has trebled Harvester’s orbital network in the earth. Since I sacrificed scholarships, I have now given hundreds of scholarships to train and equip believers through MBTC.

7. Say thank you. Bring your first fruits to God. Abraham understood tithing. It was not a law to him but a principle. Melchizedek understood it too and blessed Abraham. The first fruits of a harvest are holy unto God and they unlock the next fruits! We had to give our first church building away after it was paid off and completed beautifully in Johannesburg. It was the necessary sacrifice to unlock a thousand churches in this move of God. The decision is clear, based on the substance of your faith – make the sacrifice and honour God with your first fruits, it is the spiritual component that unlocks your faith plans.

8. Take the first step in the walk of faith and start to confess what you believe, based on the strategy we have discussed.

Grace and peace for your faith plans in Jesus name!
