How to obtain everything from God through faith?

“Perseverance is waiting patiently with the same attitude. It is persevering until you see results!”

Dr Raoul Wafo

A few weeks ago, we embarked on a journey called “Cap sur la Foi 2025” (« Heading for Faith 2025 »), and for the past two weeks, we have been focusing on the theme: “How to obtain everything from God through faith?” in two phases on Sundays, August 24 and 31, 2025.

I – Basic texts:

Our basic texts were: (NIV)

- Matthew 21:22

[22]  If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

- Mark 11:23–26

[23] Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

[24] Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

[25] And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

[26] [But if you do not forgive, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses.]

From these two passages, we have drawn several lessons, namely:

- You can obtain anything from God through faith.

- Nothing is impossible when faith is at work.

- Faith is the only means by which God wants you to access all that He has for you

- There are things you will never obtain from God through prayer, regardless of your level of faith, because God will never grant you anything that is contrary to His will

- It is not God who determines what you obtain, it is your faith!

The Doctor explained to us how important it is for us to differentiate between requests and prayers, because prayer based on faith is based on God's will.

Although faith is an essential prerequisite, prayer is also fundamental because it is through prayer that we bring about God's plans.

“We call upon God's purposes to be manifested through prayer. Prayer is therefore a place where we enter into His plans.”

Dr Raoul Wafo

II – Let us redefine faith on this basis:

In light of all these elements, we have defined faith as the hand that grasps God's promises for us in His hands.

So it is not God who determines what happens in your life, but your faith, even though His will is perfect in heaven.

God may therefore have a will for you that will never be fulfilled because you have not exercised your faith.

III – How, then, can we receive from God through faith?

To receive from God, we have understood that faith is the only sure and inevitable path, the sine qua non condition.

It is therefore up to us to ask with faith through prayer, without crying or complaining.

Although asking with faith through prayer is the way to go, two other underlying conditions are essential:

• Knowing God's heart for us: His will for us, first in general terms and then in more specific terms as a complement.

• Having the revelation of our God: This will be done with the help of the Holy Spirit, because our own will alone is not always sufficient, as it is not based solely on our own understanding.

IV – Things that prevent us from receiving from God:

Here, we have seen several elements, but it is important to keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive.

We have seen:

1. Doubt or unbelief

which manifests itself, among other things, by asking God while continuing to look to and towards men.

If we have faith, we begin to act as if God has already done what we are waiting for.

There is no need to wait for a sign.

To fight doubt, the recipe is thanksgiving and praise, even in the midst of total incomprehension.

2. Impatience

The process can sometimes be long, painful, and trying, but just because it takes time does not mean that God has said no.

3. Lack of forgiveness

“Forgiveness is an incredible power. It sets you free. It allows you to access what is yours.”
“What you hold in your heart against the person will hurt you more than what the person has done to you.”

Dr Raoul Wafo

4. Sin: Here we have distinguished spiritual sin from the sin of the flesh.

Spiritual sin is deeper than the sin of the flesh; it is a sin that will affect your heart, corrupt it, and change the state of your relationship with God.

As examples, we have mentioned pride, contempt for others, idolatry, and rebellion.

Idolatry is quite subtle in that you can be fully immersed in it without being aware of it; you can idolize a well-placed loved one, a parent, a spouse, a job, clothes, or any other material possession.

The subject of faith is particularly dense and vast; it requires each of us to take a step back and establish personal rules for a kind of regular self-check-up to examine ourselves and readjust our daily behavior.

Let us meditate on this again and again and not forget that faith is a muscle, as Dr. Raoul Wafo likes to remind us, and therefore, like any muscle, it must be trained and exercised every day to strengthen it.
