FAITH CAPSULE: Are you laying all at His feet or you are bagging it to take it back?

Genesis 32:22-32, Matthew 15:21-31

It is written, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7) Asking, seeking and knocking demands taking a position to get His attention. However, a good position to engage Him is looking up to Him without having any place to look up to as a backup plan.

Among the best place to look up unto the Lord is at His feet. Taking a position at is feet is compared to making a statement such as, “I will not let you go if you do not answer to my request.” Jacob once wrestled with the Lord and insisted not to allow the wrestler’s departure until He blesses Him. It is good to come to His feet but coming to His feet will not be enough if there is no falling down or laying it all at His feet.

Great multitudes came to His feet and they received healing because in addition to their coming, they were able to lay it all at His feet. It is written in Matthew 15: 30, “Then great multitudes came to Him having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.” Before healing was possible, they came and were able to lay at Jesus’ feet all that had been holding them back from their breakthrough miracle. Just as multitudes laid it at His feet, the rulers also laid it at His feet.

The bible documented, “Jarius, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, ‘My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live’” (Mark 5:22-23). Those who went to His feet were constantly demonstrating expectation for manifestation by laying it all at His feet. You have been going everywhere that is named in the Name of God and your situation remains unchanged. In your going are you laying it or bagging it to take it back with you? It is one thing to come and not to lay it down. It is another thing to come and lay it down before Him. Whenever all challenges are laid down at His feet, all shall be laid to rest permanently and it shall not rise. In your going or coming to Him, let expectation begin to reign because it is a demonstration of faith and God is not pleased without faith (Hebrew 11:6). In your going to His feet, begin to lay it down at His feet.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to know and engage that which is right for deliverance.
