FAITH CAPSULE: See well; see through faith that your miracle is at hand.

Exodus 14, Jeremiah 1:1-12

When God speaks, His word stands. God’s words are active words which will not fail to deliver just as they are spoken. God testifies, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11). When God declared that He has put His words in Jeremiah’s mouth, all that Jeremiah needed to do to be able to operate the Word was to be able to see what was not there as being there. God told him in Jeremiah 1:10, “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and To destroy and to throw down, and To build and to plant.” What God said to Jeremiah was God’s representative of God. In order for the Word of God to come to be, Jeremiah would have to see what is not in place as being in place. God wants His children to exercise a creative faith by seeing what is not in place as being in place. The children of Israel, on their way out of over four hundred years of bondage, needed to breakthrough a confronting roadblock (Red Sea) in order to get to their Promised Land. The children of Israel allowed fear to rise and faith to sink. As a result of their state of mind, Moses resulted to a word of encouragement when he stated in Exodus 14:13, “And Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today you shall see again no more forever.’” God gave His Word to the children of Israel through Moses. The Word was with power and it will only work on condition. The condition that makes the Word to work and bring forth result is in the ability to see. Can anyone who is unstable and clouded with fear be able to see? With faith and no fear, man will be able to see deliverance and preservation inside the living Word of the living God. Fear, distraction, inconsistency and lack of commitment in serving the Lord are among the forces that will always deny a believer from standing still. Wherever you have been told that there is no way, say no to fear, stand still and begin to see a way in the Word of God. God has never gone to sleep and He will not fall asleep concerning your situation. Take to Moses’ advice in Exodus 14:14, “The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” See well; see through faith that your miracle is at hand.
