Believing Without Seeing
Faith believes for the invisible, true faith operates by believing without seeing.
What Is Faith?
“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].“ Hebrews 11:1 (AMPC)
Faith is a state of believe, conviction, assurance, confidence that is based on what God’s Word says.
We can tease out 3 important truths about faith from Hebrews 11:1
- Faith is a state of believe, conviction, assurance, confidence that is based on God’s Word.
- Faith is the evidence of biblical Hope
- Faith believes for the invisible.
Faith Believes for the Invisible
The object of faith is very real spiritually to the spirit man, however it is not visible to the physical eyes.
Faith perceives things which are not tangible to the human senses as real. This means that with faith, believing comes before seeing.
In Mark 11:24, Jesus says we are to believe that we have received whatever we are praying for, at the time of prayer, not when we see the answers to our prayers with our physical eyes, and not after we’ve expereinced them.
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:24 NKJV
In John 20:26-29, Jesus scolded Thomas; ‘Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed’.
“And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” [27] Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” [28] And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” [29] Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:26-29 NKJV
If you always look for facts or evidence before believing, you will struggle with faith. You can learn how to improve on this attitude towards life in this video.

What Is GOF?
Grace Obomanu Foundation (GOF) is a faith-based nonprofit organization with the overall vision to make known the knowledge of God through wisdom and revelation from God’s Word. We are on a mission to build faith, share love and restore hope through the message of Christ.
A Multi-faceted Approach to fulfilling our Mission and Vision
We carry out outreaches to charity homes, communities and groups; teaching, preaching and mentoring people to live thier best lives. We share bible-based teachings using different online platforms. And provide simple, practical answers to everyday real life issues. Through partnerships we work to improve wellbeing among elderly persons, young girls and underprivileged persons.
Overview of 2023 Christmas Outreach
We hold 2 main outreaches in a year; at Christmas and Easter.
Our 2023 Christmas outreach was successful as we met all set targets.
We planned to reach out to 100 elderly folks; we ended up giving out 117 packs of foodstuffs to elderly people and more. Other achievements of this project include;
- Engaging talk on healthy aging
- Free medical consultation
- Evangelism & Salvation of Souls.
- And yes, yes, Christmas Rice (plus stew)…
- We also met and exceeded our need for volunteers for this particular outreach so we couldn’t integrate everyone who indicated interest to attend. Apologies.

The Keys of The Kingdom
A kingdom is a territory, domain or realm ruled by a king or queen who is the highest authority and who may choose to delegate same as he/she wishes. The day you made Jesus Lord and Saviour of your life, you were translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God and of His dear son Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13). You are a member of the Kingdom of God. You are royalty (1 Peter 2:9).Kings reign and rule kingdoms through words. Their decrees become established and they govern their domains through words. Kings issue commands and processes are immediately set in motion for actualization of such commands. Jesus spoke extensively about the Kingdom of God, making reference to it many times in His teachings and parables. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus reveals the Keys of the Kingdom of God to His disciples…
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19
Words have power. Words are seeds. Decrees and Judgements are passed through words.
Little wonder Jesus marvelled at the Centurion’s words in Luke 7:7-9. This man understood Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 all too well….there is power in the Words of a king (Ecclesiastes 8:4-5).
The keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God is in our words/decrees, and the keys to condemning/refuting every consequence of the curse is in our words/judgement.
Wisdom and discernment help proper use and application of decrees or judgment (Ecclesiastes 8:5). Thi is how an empty and voidless space became home to plants, animals, man (Genesis chapter 1). And how a seed of words becomes a big company/organisation offering employment and source of livelihood to many (Luke 13:18-19).
The keys of the Kingdom of God …..decrees…..judgements…. communicated through words. Loose/unlock your blessings, judge/bind every curse or a semblance of the curse.
You are royalty; your words have power. Your words are the keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God. And words are the keys to condemning/refuting everything with semblance to the curse.
Shalom!
I Plead The Blood of Jesus
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
GOF Christmas 2023 Outreach
Hurray! It’s time again for GRACE OBOMANU FOUNDATION (GOF) Christmas Outreach!!
Through your support, GOF continues to reach out to needy people and elderly persons in our communities especially during the Easter and Christmas holidays.
Can you believe that this is our 3rd year doing this together? From the ‘Badamia Boys Home’ visit, to the Easter and Christmas 2022 Outreaches, we have together preached the gospel of Christ, provided free medical care, distributed foodstuffs and given free health talk; especially to needy people and the elderly. I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity to impact lives together with you.
This Christmas (2023), we are planning two (2) outreach sessions in 2 communities. We have carefully selected 2 health facilities with poor patient patronage in 2 different communities. We will work in partnership with the facility staff to render free medical care as well as distribute foodstuffs to no fewer than 100 persons in both locations. As usual these sessions would also provide an opportunity to preach and evangelize especially to our primary target audience, the elderly. We also hope that our presence at the facility will help improve facility utilization going forward.
Outreach Dates: 13th & 14th December 2023.

5 Keys To Living a Life of Victory In Christ
VICTORY is the identity of every child of God. Victorious Christian living should be a way of life for every believer. As believers we should enjoy victory in Christ; overcoming in all things, dominating our world, ruling and reigning in life. First John chapter 5, verse 4 tells us this much, emphasizing that faith is the victory that overcomes the world. In addition to faith, I share other keys to living a life of victory in Christ below…
"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." I John 5:4
I have drawn from scriptures, 5 keys to living a life of victory in Christ. Faith, being aware of our identity in Christ, having a consciousness of the God who lives in us, walking in love and never giving up on hope.
Here are 5 Keys to Enjoying a Victorious Christian Life -…
Bible References:
You can reference the additional scriptures listed above. They will shade more light on the relationship between faith, love, being God conscious, hope and an acute awareness of one’s identity in Christ.
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.” I John 5:1
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” I John 3:1
“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” I John 4:4
“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” I John 4:16
