Daily Devoton: Believe In Him

BELIEVE IN HIM

John 4: 46-54

 

Believing is having faith, and having faith in Him is believing. The children of Israel were to face a battle in the hand of a great multitude, and there was no way out, but defeat. Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, sought out God, “So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” (2 Chronicles 20:22) In the battle, great victory was delivered unto Judah. The word of attention here is to believe. Depending on which God you believe in, if you believe in the Lord God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, you are set for the glory of God upon your life. Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior? John 1:12, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” What you receive is what will determine what you believe, and your belief is what will determine what you become. If you have received the word of life, and you are able to believe it, then it will become of you. God is true to His word, but the world is not true to the word of God. God continues to be consistent, despite the world’s inconsistency with the word of God. It does not matter the kind of challenges or confrontation, if we can believe, we are set for great victory. Jesus stated in John14: 1, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.” Believing God for His word is the only way out to engage the world of wickedness. Once during Jesus’ second trip to Cana of Galilee, after having turned water into wine, it was mentioned that a certain nobleman came to see him for healing, on behalf of his dying child. John 4:49-50, “The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.” The nobleman did not question Jesus’ command, there were no reports of doubt, but the man was recorded for going on his way. On his way his servant delivered the news of the healing of his child. It was also confirmed that the healing of his child was at the hour when Jesus spoke the word. Do you believe God for any loved one’s miracle? It does not matter the nature of the need, being it barrenness, sickness unto death, or breakthrough deliverance, meditate on the nobleman’s miracle, and God will be provoked on your behalf.

Prayer for today: Eternal God, you are still the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Concerning all that concerns me let me receive the kind of miracle the nobleman had in the name of Jesus.
