FAITH OR SHIPWRECK

What if your faith isn’t weak—just untrained?

This episode explores co-perception: learning to see with God so imagination fuels faith, not fear. We expose how unchecked inner images lead to slow faith-shipwreck, and how Scripture-anchored vision stabilizes the conscience.

At the core is one truth: the just shall live by faith. Not by effort or rituals, but by alignment with what Christ has finished. If you’ve felt anxious, stuck, or striving, this is a reset for your inner world.

Hello everyone. So in our last episode, we started talking about faith's true aid. And we said that the true aid of faith is cultivating and maintaining co-perception with God. Now, are there consequences of rejecting faith's true aid? Are there consequences if you reject coupling your faith with co-perception? Indeed, yes, of course, you already know the answer. The consequence of you not coupling your faith with pictures or with co-perception is that your faith will eventually suffer a shipwreck. The funny thing is that people always have co-perception. People who live in fear, they have vivid imaginations of evil. Right? So, what is happening to them? They have a bad conscience. How do I know they have a bad conscience? Because they are having pictures of evil things happening to them. Co-perception tells you that you are viewing a picture alongside with somebody. That's why the core is there. It's not just perception, it's not just your perception. So a good conscience is one that has co-perception with God. An evil conscience is one that has co-perception with Satan. And when I say Satan, I'm not just talking about the devil himself. I'm talking about evil in general, which I mean I've told you about hell, that hellfire is quite vast. Right? So someone who has an evil conscience is not necessarily someone who kills, but that also can somebody who murders another person has had an evil conscience for a long time because the person has pictured murders. You know, maybe you just started with just watching a scary movie, and then from there they started watching documentaries. The next thing their mind started calculating things, and they thought it was just harmless at first, and then they kept on calculating and calculating. They started thinking up scenarios of how they can kill somebody and get away with it, and then they keep on you know, cooking up all the scenarios, and it keeps getting more vivid and more vivid and more vivid until you see them. There are people that if you just walk into their presence alone, you are irritated, like your body will start to itch you, like you would have you start to have all manner of flare-ups on your skin. Do you understand? Your spirit just rejects them immediately. Those are those kind of people, they have all this vivid imagination, and the more they imagine, the imagination is very powerful. You have to know it. The more they imagine, the more demons they have, and the more likelihood that they are going to do those things that they have been imagining. Okay, that's the reason why you hear that you know the people, mass shooters are usually people who are like quiet, you know, nobody talks to them, they are usually just on their own and all of that. What were they doing on their own all the while? Having vivid imaginations of rubbish, of nonsense. Do you get? So that's what I'm trying to tell you that everybody has co-perception. You can have co-perception with God, or you can have co-perception with Satan. If you have co-perception with Satan, you have an evil conscience. If you have co-perception with God, you have a good conscience. Do you get so? But the Bible is telling us that. But then why is it that Christians now, when it comes to prayer, we just leave it there? You know, we're not serious about it. But when it comes to fear, you have it. You can just imagine. I have a not a friend, but someone I knew someone way back who she would just stay on her own and just imagine how her family members have had an accident and how they came to call her, and then you know, and this happened. I said, if you continue like this, this thing you are seeing will come to pass. Then you have yeah, people say when something bad happens today, they say, Hey, my mind told me your mind told you. That's what you've been imagining all this while. So, dear believer, let me tell you what the things that you've been imagining and the things the Bible tells you to do, which is that you start to imagine the whole world coming to Jesus. You imagine the whole world talking about Jesus. Imagine TikTok, the everything on TikTok is about God. Just imagine that. That TikTok was hijacked. Imagine that Instagram was hijacked by Christians, all like suddenly everybody just became born again. Just suddenly, it was just like it was just like a snap, you know, like something was poured over the nations, and then you just opened your TikTok and everybody's talking about God. You open every post is about God. Instagram, every post is about God. How about that? How about thinking things about you know, the whole world worshipping God, the whole world, you know, praising God, the whole world coming to the knowledge of the truth that truly the light of the world came, which is Jesus Christ. How about imagining yourself as the light of the world? Like literally the light of the world, the light of our world is the sun. So if you're the light of the world, you're like the sun. How about imagining that? How bright and how good, like your rays can cover the entire earth. How about imagining that? How about imagining things that will actually bring you good success, advance the kingdom of God? How about imagining that? So the consequence of you not coupling your faith with co-perception is that your faith will eventually suffer a shipwreck. Your faith will not produce results, and you'll be wondering what is happening. It was because you did not have co-perception. You know, if you listen carefully to men of God like Chris Oyaculume, Reverend Chris Oyaculame, you hear the way he talks about consciousness, how he's conscious about the anointing, even before he comes into a meeting. He's conscious about it. He starts imagining it, and then he's now, as the more he's imagining it and saying it, you know, he starts to feel shivers. And before you know what's happening, he's beginning to feel the present to the point that he actually literally feels the anointing. He's like, oh, I feel this thing inside of me. Do you understand? And if it touches anybody at that time, it's the consciousness you have to cultivate it, you have to cultivate it, you have to cultivate it. If you think about somebody so too much, do you know they will call you? They'll call you, or you dream about them, they'll come to your dream, or you will visit them in their dream. It's just that you have not compared notes, right? But it's a fact. So that means there is really nothing is nothing is impossible to you if only you can get to that place of consciousness, of that, to that place of co-perception. Nothing is impossible to you. See yourself as married, see yourself as having children. Imagine the children that you want to have. Do you understand? See yourself. Before I had my son, I already saw him. I told my mom back then, and then she was like, Why? She didn't like it, you know. She thought I was just talking rubbish, you know. And I described him. Do you understand? I saw my son when he was like maybe four years old, long before I got married and had him. He was four years old when I had when I saw him. Do you understand? And I held his hands. And we were going, you know, to we're walking across the small stadium, not so big, you know, that the kinds that schools have. And I were just walking across it. And it happened. I'm telling you, I saw it. And I was like, wow. I saw his skin tone. I was like, his chocolate. He's not dark, he's not fair, light skinned like me. I saw him long before I met his dad. Do you understand? Because I was thinking about it at that point in my life. I wanted, you know, I wanted to have a child. I was not married, you know. I had not been in any relationship, but I just wanted to have my own child. I don't know why I just had that incredible desire to just have my own child. You know, so I was just lying out in my bed and started imagining it, you know. I was imagining so much I dozed off, and then I saw the picture. Do you get? And then I was like, wow, this is this has got to be. And I told my mom, I've seen my son, and I told her, This is how what he looks like, and all of that. And it turned out to be exactly, you know, skinny little boy, brown skin, you know, just exactly how I imagined him to be. That's how it was. When I was about to have my my baby girl, that was the same thing I imagined that her hair was going to be like so long, you know. I really want, and I was never going to touch her hair, like maybe cut it or anything like that. I imagined it was just going to be so long. I wanted a daughter with a mane. Does my daughter have a mane now? Yes. Do you understand? So you imagine you start the only thing I didn't really imagine like that vividly would be my husband to get, and that didn't really work out so well. I didn't take time out. You know, the way people, a lot of I see ladies do it nowadays where they, you know, they write out all the qualities that they want in their man and all of that. I didn't, I didn't really do that, you know. Somehow I don't know. Nobody really taught me back then because some of these things I learned on my own. No pastor, nothing, just the Holy Spirit. So I was a little late in that area. You get so. Oh well, it happened the way it happened. Life happens. Okay, so I didn't really picture that that part of my life. Okay. What about me teaching? Many times. Do you understand? I used to I had no message to preach, but I was just imagining that I'll say things that, you know, wow, like God would just give me special messages. And is God giving me special messages? Yes. The people that are rich, you know, who have a lot of money, you know, the their behavior. I actually had a friend, you know, who would he printed out, you know, dollar notes and you know, so much of them, and then you write the you know, zeros, number of zeros he wanted to see, and he pasted it everywhere in his room. Ticket, everywhere you will see all his goals and aspirations, is put them there as if they had already been achieved. And he wakes up in the morning and that's the first thing he looks at. What's he doing? Co-perception. Try to keep the picture. That's the same reason why people make vision boards, right? To make vision boards, you know, you write out your vision. Yeah, the the principle can work if you're writing it down, also, you know, writing out all the things that you want. It can help your vision as well, you know. It can also help if you make a vision board, you know, with pictures and you place them somewhere you can see. But if you have a vivid imagination, practice it. Anyhow, you want to do it, the way that it works best for you. You know, work it out. Some people can actually say it, record their voices when they're talking about when they have become so-so-and-so. And then each time they play it back to themselves and they hear it, they begin to see the pictures. You know, you know, when you're listening to the Bible, if you listen to the audio Bible, to an audio Bible, right? It's so nice. It's so nice because you just you're just staring in space, like you're just listening as it's playing, you're just seeing the whole thing. You know, I particularly like the part where you know Jesus just rose from the dead and then he went to sea. And you know, Peter and Peter and the rest of the guys, they've already gone back to fishing, you know, like this is barely even like three days after he died, and these guys don't even know what to do with their lives, they've gone back to fishing, you know, they've gone back to their old professions, and so they are at sea, and then they're trying to catch fish all through the night, and they could not have any catch. And suddenly they see a man stand at the on the shore, and then the man says, You know what? Just throw your nets on this side of the river, and they did as he said, and they had a great catch. And they were like, Wow, it's the master. And so they all the ships around the all the boats around them, you know, they come together, they bring out the fish, they offload everything, and by the time they're done, they come out to meet the master. And you know what the master was saying? He had made a fire, and he was roasting fish. Oh my gosh! Like that's exactly that's the kind of thing I would do. You know, that's kind of thing I would do. Like, he would just stay there and was roasting fish. I was waiting for them to come ashore. And by the time they came in, came ashore. You know, he gave them breakfast, he was making breakfast. Wow, I like those kind of pictures. It tells you it gives you another picture of the Lord. Like, wow, what kind of person is the Lord? Do you get okay? Anyway, so remember, don't forget, we're talking about the consequences of rejecting or rejecting coupling your faith with co-perception. Now, when you see shipwreck, we said that if you do this, that you're going to your faith is going to eventually suffer shipwreck. Shipwreck is used to describe the devastating consequence of not holding faith with a good conscience or with co-perception. I've told you that we are the Bible, when the Bible see, when when the Bible says certain things, I've told you the Bible is literal, right? When we're talking about shipwreck is very literal. This entire world is in water. We are all in water. I've told you about the cosmos of God, right? We are in water. Above us is water, below us is water. If you come out of the earth, the planet earth, everything that you see that we call the fabric of reality, you know, that's the fabric is water. The Bible has told us it is water, it's the river of life. The fabric of reality is water, it's the river of life flowing from God's throne. He stretched it out as it stretched out the it stretched it out as a tent. Do you understand? And he was able to create the heaven universe, and then the water flowed down, and then he laid the foundations and created the earth universe, which is what we are living in currently. We are in water. It's when in Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void. And the spirit of the Lord hovered over the deep. What is deep? Water. Are you seeing it is water? He hovered over the deep. It's deep water. Do you get so the fabric of reality is water? The black holes, when they say stretching the fabric of reality is water. They say they cannot see what dark matter is. Dark matter is made up of water and fire. Let me just simplify for you. That is what the Bible says. The crystal river mingled with fire. That is what it is. Dark matter is water and fire. It is the same thing that you see God walking upon. That is God's food stool. You know what is working upon? That is what it is. It's just very simple. God is not that complicated, and the universe is not that complicated. Listen to DIY Salvation. Okay? If you've not listened, if this is your first time listening, go and listen to all the other episodes. I'm telling you, it's that simple. So now, if it is water, what do you now call all the planets that are hovering around? They are all spaceships. They are ships. Do you understand? They are worlds. They are ships. We are all traveling. This world is it traveling? Yes. We are traveling. The sun is it traveling? Yes. The moon is it traveling? Yes. Are you a star or you're a sun? You're a star and a sun. A star is a sun. You are a sun. You're a star. Are you traveling? Yes. If you crash, you have made shipwreck. My point exactly. The Bible is literal. It's just that our small-mindedness, you know, makes us look at things as oh, they are so far-fetched. Everything is figurative to us. Everything is figurative. Once your mind cannot get it, it's equal to figurative. It's not correct. So the this, so just the same way shipwreck will result in the destruction of a ship, your faith without co-perception can lead to unproductivity in your faith life and eventually spiritual ruin and loss of the foundation of your Christian life. If all Christians were to get this information about co-perception and they start to practice seeing pictures of good, curated pictures of the kingdom of God. Do you understand? Especially curated by the Holy Spirit Himself. Do you know that we can win the world in one year? I'm telling you, it is doable. It is doable. We can win the world. We can win the world. We just need to see everybody as saved. And we all have to see together. Mothers are even struggling with seeing their own children as saved. You see, your child has a lot of issues, you know, and all of that. You have to first start seeing your child as intelligent, as brilliant, has no issues. Do you understand? Has no struggles. As you pray, you speak it. When you see him, you speak the words. You say, Oh, my very intelligent, brilliant, excellent child. It will look funny at first, but he will become it. I'm telling you, you have to meditate on these things and give yourself wholly to them so that your profiting may be evident to all. That's what the Bible says. Do you understand? So faith without co-perception can lead to unproductivity in your faith life, and it can eventually lead to spiritual ruin and the loss of the foundation of your Christian life. Anything that has the power to ruin your faith work should terrify you because God has ordained that the just shall live by faith. The just shall live by faith. This is a profound declaration. Do you understand? This is the central role of faith in our lives as believers. We live by faith. We are in a dark realm. We're in water, murky waters, even self. Okay? And the central role of faith is to is for us to live by it. Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 4. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him, but the just shall live by faith. Romans chapter 1, verse 17. For daring is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith. Are you saying? Two witnesses. Galatians chapter 3, verse 11. But that no man is justified, justified by the law in the sight of God is evident. For the just shall live by faith. Three witnesses. So you see that this is very significant. Very, very significant. Now let's look at the key principles that we see in this particular scriptures on or in this scriptures that talk about the just living by faith. Number one, we see justification. That the just man is the person whose righteousness before God is not attained through human effort or through him adhering to the law, but rather through him having faith in Christ Jesus. So how are we justified? We are justified by believing in the death, the burial, and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus for our sins. So we say the just shall live by faith before you start calculating and disqualify yourself and tell yourself you are no longer you are not justified because you sinned yesterday or maybe an hour ago. No, you're not disqualified. As long as you believe in the death, the burial and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, you have received the you have received the Lord into your heart. You are the just man and you have already been justified. How were you justified? You know, when we say justified, does it mean that God is marking all your wrongs as right? No. It's that all your wrongs were already marked as wrong, but they were all on Jesus and He paid the price. He was punished for all your wrongs. So you cannot be punished again for the same offenses. Do you understand? You cannot be punished again. So now you're justified because someone has already paid the price for you. Do you guess someone has already been punished on your behalf? So now that you believe that he did it for you, you are justified. Now that you're the justified one, you have to walk by faith. You were made just by faith, and your life is maintained by faith. So therefore, it is your default setting as a just man to live by faith, period. Okay. Now, the second point that we note here is that the phrase shall live suggests that it's not just your physical existence, but also spiritual vitality. So your entire see it's a continuous flourishing in your physical existence and also in your spiral spiritual vitality. You sustain yourself by walking in faith, by walking by faith. Do you understand? Walking by faith is the sustenance, the essential sustenance for the Christian life. Because this will help you to walk in righteousness. Remember that you were justified, but there's something also called walking in righteousness. That means now that you have been made righteous before God and you are being justified, there are things that you do that will show that you are a justified person or you're a just person, and it is only faith that will help you achieve those things. Do you understand? So you just got born again, right? Now you have to walk in love. But all your life you've been betrayed, and now you have a hatred for people. You just don't even like anybody, you don't even want people coming close to you. So you're just looking at them, keeping them at arm's length. Now you become born again, you know, and now that you're born again, you are justified before God, even if you have hated people all your life, you are now justified before God. That means all of that hatred is under the blood. You're a new man in Christ. All things are passed away. Behold, everything is made new. But guess what? You have only trained yourself to hate people, and now you read through the scriptures and it tells you love one another, not in one place, in not in Two, nothing three. Several places say love one another. Jesus says it. All the apostles they reiterate it, love one another. And you're like, ah, where do I start with loving? Now you now read First Corinthians chapter 13. In 1 Corinthians chapter 13, it tells you, love does not do this, love does not do that, love does not envy. Then you now try to make mental notes in your head to try not to envy. And the moment you leave the house, you see somebody that wears, no, that drives the kind of car that you have been dreaming of. And the person just drives past you. And then your heart, you are green with envy. Literally. You're green with envy. And then you're like, ah. And you're like, God, but I'm serving you and I'm trekking, you know. Do you see? And immediately you just warn yourself. You remember you left learned about envy in the morning, and that you told yourself you're you're trying not to envy. It does not work. That's my point. It does not work. And life circumstances will tell you that if you try to make a mental note or meant use mental asset to do the things, spiritual things, you will fail. So I'm trying to tell you that the way forward is that it is faith that is supposed to sustain you. Are you getting me? Faith was supposed to sustain you. So how do you do it? Now you are saved by faith through grace. Now you are saved. You no longer hate people by faith. Even if you feel it, the moment that person drives past you and you feel envy rising up inside of you, you decree and declare, I walk in love. You quickly declare it. I walk in love. I love people of every nationality. I love people. I do not envy. You speak it and then you begin to imagine yourself actually walking in love. You say it right there and then. It doesn't seem like it, and I'm telling you, it may not happen in one day, it may not happen in one year, even. But in time, you will see that you have become what you said. You have become what you imagined, you have become what you pictured yourself to be. That's why I told you that walking by faith is the sustenance, is the essential sustenance for the Christian life. It will enable you to walk in righteousness, which is justice, and it will enable you to experience abundant life in Christ. We only walk by faith and not by physical sight. Now, the third thing is continuous dependence. Living by faith is not a one-time event. It's not just one day. I told you when I was young, I thought it was just maybe when you when you need some of you think that you have faith only when you need something. No, walking by faith should be your entire life. Your relationship should be by faith. I'm telling you, every day you wake up is by faith. Your relationship is by faith. Don't just take people for granted or just assume. No, it should be by faith. Every single day is by faith. Do you understand? Everything you do, work by faith. It's not a one-time event. It's not only when you need something that you work by faith. It should be your lifestyle. When you wake up and you're talking to God, you can't see Him is by faith. After you finish talking, keep quiet, listen, and say, Lord, tell me something. It's by faith. Do you understand? The rest of your day, the businesses you're attaining, you know, is by faith. The more your business grows, is by faith. You have to be believing for more clients by faith. Walk by faith. So we walk by faith always, and everything we do, we must consciously do by faith. Alright? Now, number four thing is that the declaration that the just shall live by faith contrasts faith with legalistic attempts to earn salvation or favor with God. Alright. So what this means is that you put faith on one side, you are able to get anything from God as long as you can walk by faith and have co-perception. On the other hand, you see legalistic attempts where people are trying to earn salvation or earn favor with God through your works or through religious observances. Let me give you an example now. Yes, we it's important for us to pray long periods. However, when you first start praying in tongues like that, something will happen. You will see miracles instantly. But the more you practice this thing, you will not be seeing instant miracles again. You will not realize that the prayer was not about you getting instant miracles, the prayer was more about building you up. Do you understand? Now, some people believe that because they are praying for a long time, that that's why God will answer them. So you may have been praying for one full year and God, you have not seen the answers to your results, and then you're feeling tired. That how come I've been praying for one year and there's no answer? It's because you are thinking that the time that you are putting in prayers is what will give the answer. You have left faith and grace, you are now in works. This is a legalistic approach. Do you understand? It means that you're trying to exchange your times in prayer for the favor of God or for answers, answered prayers, and it's not supposed to be so. That's why I'm trying to tell you that you can have faith and co-perception, and you did not even pray long time in long periods, and you will see your the result that you were looking for. So somebody who is who has faith and co-perception will go into the the field and win souls, win souls like this. You see, 600, 700, win souls and bring them all to church. And meanwhile, you were spending more time praying in tongues, and he never spent one minute praying in tongues with you. Why? Because he had a picture and he had faith. He believed that the moment he went there, the Lord will use him, and that's it. Do you get so that faith and co-perception will help you once you start to work by faith? What will happen is that you would shift from legalistic attempts to earn salvation or to earn favor from God, you know, whether it's through your human works or even through your religious observances, you know, fasting is not what makes God answer you. Fasting is not what makes you receive. No, fasting just preps you, preps your spirit man to be able to receive. I've said this to you before that when you're doing seven days fasting, day one, day two, day three, day three is as if you want to die. Day four, just stretch it to day four, you are okay. Day five, you close your eyes to pray. Clarity. I'm telling you, you close your eyes, you are seeing things. Clarity. You sleep in the night from day from day three. Even if you sleep in the night, you we have me. I have dreams. I don't know about you guys if you have dreams like me. Clear visions. I will see what everybody is doing and their plans, and then God's plans for me. Anything I'm asking God for, I see all of it. I'm telling you to be so much that seven days look as if it's a lot of days or maybe a lot of weeks. Because I'll have so much information. Do you understand? So by day five, like this, vivid information, clarity of vision. Do you get? So, what is happening to me is that when I'm fasting, my spirit man is prepped, you know, for visuals or for audiovisuals in some cases. Do you get? It's prepped for God to God is always talking to you, but you're not always hearing. But when you're fasting, you can hear faster. So it is not because so in initially, in my faith work as a young believer, I may fast, you know, just fasting, you know, that's six to six, you know, kind of fasting that churches do and all of that, or six to one, or any the times, and then I'm I'm following it as a religious observ, like it's just really religious observance. Do you understand? When those times of let's say I put out 40 days and I do it like that, six to six, six to six, six to six, and all of that. At the end of 40 days, I am okay because I've done 40 days. I counted 40 days, so I'm done. I'm like, God, I've done this, so thank you. I've prayed for the entire year. We have passed that level. Now we fast and fast until we know that we have gotten the do you understand? You know how, you know how you you just marinate yourself and stay there. Then when it's time to go, they release you. They release you. And even you say, When you're released, you're like, oh wow, okay. Then you're thinking you're looking forward to another day again for you to go again. Do you get ahead? So it's the the focus has changed. It's no longer about trying to observe something religiously, you know, but it's to is to grow, is to know more, is to hear more. So genuine righteousness comes from believing in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus, nothing more.
