For instance, I hear people complain that
some Churches collect monies from their congregation to build schools that most
of their members who contributed are unable to afford such schools.
While this may sound true to the natural
mind, what does the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God say in Mark 9:23b?, “[Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!”
Since all things are possible to the
person who believes, why should I not be able to afford school fees of any
amount?
What is preventing me from having
the money to afford the fees when God says I can have all things once I
believe?
All I have to do is believe what God
my Father has said, ask Him for it, believe He has answered, thank and worship Him
and expect the miracle until I receive it! Yes, expect the miracle until I receive it!
It is that simple.
Someone may argue and say why then
does it not happen that way since most Christians claim to have faith and even
declare it with their mouth?
I will respond by stating
categorically that if it does not happen that way, it means God has lied and
God has failed. But I know that my God cannot fail and He cannot lie, so it
must happen that way.
The challenge most times, dear
friends, is that we try to complicate the simplicity of God’s Word.
A lot of Christians underestimate
the seriousness of God’s Word and they then try to add their own effort to it
but faith does not work that way.
Know today, dear friend, that every
single Word God has spoken carries power and is always fulfilled.
Faith in God’s Word gives credit to
God for the miracle but when you try to add your own effort, you are trying to
take credit for the miracle and no miracle takes place that way.
God’s Word is exactly what it says.
When you do as God has stated, you will get the exact same result of what God
has promised.
God tells us in Matthew 6:33 to seek
first His kingdom and His righteousness and everything else we need in this
world will be EFFORTLESSLY added to us.
What this tells me is that the road
I am presently following by God’s special grace in living right, showing love
to God and humans, obeying God’s every commandments in the Holy Bible is the
ONLY way I can prosper and live stress free in this life.
I do not select the commandments to
obey and the ones to ignore with excuse because once I do that, I have broken that
particular commandment and all other commandments as clearly stated in James
2:10.
So I strive to obey God by His grace
and in return, God performs His Word by providing all my needs as a Father to
His son.
Having known all these, I
consciously decide by free will to believe God’s Word and damn all consequences
because I know there can only be one outcome as far as God is concerned – His
Word must prevail.
I stand by the Word of God in the
Holy Bible. I choose to live for the Lord Jesus Christ and to show others by word
and example to do the same. I choose to be guided by the Holy Spirit of God in
my dealings with God and humans.
What about you dear friend?
May the good Lord bless you as you
heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
