FAITH CAPSULE:If you will let go of your unbelief, then you will let the power of God penetrate into every area of your stagnation.
John 11:1-44
Faith is described as, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.” (Hebrews 11:1-2) Going by the description, it is safe to say that hope is the live wire of faith. Going by the source of faith, it is safe to say that it is foolishness to have faith. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) In the word of God is the message of the cross. 1 Corinthians 1:18 states, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” A saved Christian is a believing believer (one that behaves the word of God).
Will you let go unbelief?If you will let go of your unbelief, then you will let the power of God penetrate into every area of your stagnation. As much as the Lord wants to perform His Word by converting every obstacle into miracle, you have not been able to let go of the stone of hindrance. Lazarus was four days dead. He was not only four days dead; he was already in the tomb, a place of no return. Lazarus’ sisters were no strangers to Jesus. When Jesus approached the tomb, John 11:39, “Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of Him who was dead, said to Him, ‘Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.’” Martha could not see any miracle coming forth. In her mind time was not on the side of Jesus; condition was a barrier for a miracle. All that Jesus asked of her was to take away the stone so there would be access for Him to go in and do what was needed to bring life back into Lazarus. Is there any lost hope confronting you? Time is not on your side, age is against you and every other force you can imagine has taken over the situation. Today, Jesus is saying to you just as He said to Martha, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”(John 11:40)God is still in the business of miracles. Can you imagine how much hopefulness you would let in if you could let go of the doubt, anxiety and fear? If the situation you are facing seems hopeless, give it to Him. You have nothing to lose since you’ve already lost hope. He is the unchanging changer and He will change it for good to the glory of God. Let go unbelief; let Jesus move your hindrance.
Prayer for today:In asking, call on the name of Jesus to help in every area of your unbelief.
