Memorise: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mark 11:22
Great faith is a kind of faith that works wonders in the life of an individual. It brings into manifestation the miracle-working power of God and makes one see His glory. Jesus referred to this kind of faith when He said to Martha,
“Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” John 11:38b
The power of God is beyond human understanding. For
this reason, you need to believe what God says, even when you don’t know how He
will do it. This is where faith comes in. There will always be a reason to
doubt, but we must continue to suppress all doubts with great faith in God. Are
there mountains in your life that you want removed? Are there steps you want to
take that will lead to your breakthrough but you are having doubts about? Are
there promises you received from God for which fulfilment seems impossible now?
All will be well, and my God will remove every mountain before you. He will
bring you to your desired destination in Jesus’ Name.
Unbelief is very dangerous because it displeases
God. When the Almighty speaks to you and says what He will do, don’t begin to
scratch your head for a rationalization of its possibility. Like the children
of Israel, contemporary believers are afraid of stepping into their glorious
destinies because of unbelief (Hebrew 3:18-19).
In Mark 3:1-5, Jesus went into a synagogue and there
was a man there with a withered hand. Jesus told him to stretch out his hand,
even though he knew his hand was withered. If that man had refused to act in
great faith, he would have missed his miracle. As a child of God, when you say
you believe God, your next action must show that you truly do. Today’s
devotional message. Exhibition of great faith produces the supernatural. This
will lead to events that contravene the laws of nature taking place in your
life.
One of my daughters was told that her womb was too
small to nurture a child to the point of delivery. This was the doctor’s report,
and the doctor was right because that was his field of speciality. However, God
wanted to show to the doctor and to my daughter that He is the Doctor of all
doctors and that He can overrule any report. By His awesome power, the same
womb that the doctor said could not nurture a child carried and gave birth to
four children at once. It is only in God that such compelling events can
happen, but it takes great faith in Him to reverse the irreversible in your
life. This is why you need to come to Him and make Him your all in all. What is
the physical challenge you are having in your body? By the power of God, an end
has come to it today in Jesus’ Name.
Action Point: Take stock of anything you have given
up hope on, and exercise great faith on it.
Read: Luke 7:1-9 Now when he had ended all his
sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 And
a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to
die. 3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders
of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4 And
when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was
worthy for whom he should do this: 5 For he loveth our nation,
and he hath built us a synagogue. 6 Then Jesus went with them.
And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him,
saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou
shouldest enter under my roof: 7 Wherefore neither thought I
myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be
healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under
me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 9 When
Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said
unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.
