Faith Capsule: To behave the Word is to avert shame.

Mark 10:46-52, John 2:1-12

Doing what He says is behaving His word and it is the evidence of lack of faith. The book of John 1:14-16 described the Word of God, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.”” (John 1:14-16) The Word of God is power to make and unmake. The same Word that was in the beginning is still the same Word that is today. To behave the Word is to avert from shame; to see light in the place of darkness and to get deliverance from sickness and disease.
Jesus gave the word of direction to deliver wedding celebration from shame. The wedding was out of wine when the mother of Jesus was approached for help. After having approached Jesus, she warned the servants stating, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) Just as she warned, the servants did the exact when Jesus gave word to the servants. “Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.”(John 2:7-8) By behaving His word, the wedding which was set for shame was restored to a glorious celebration.
Concerning your marriage or any other area of living life, have you been hearing from Him and not behave what He is saying to you?
The blind man Bartimaeus needed to hear and behave for him to receive sight. While Jesus was passing by, the blind man at his road side office recognized that Jesus was passing by and reacted by crying out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Mark 10:47) The blind man’s crying caught Jesus’ attention and Jesus responded, “What do you want Me to do for you? The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” (Mark 10: 51-52) God will always wait to act for those who wait on Him. He does not ignore the crying of His children. Jesus touched the blind man by His word stating, “…Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.” (Mark 10:52) It is possible that all you need to come out of your stagnation into glorious motion is to behave what you have heard from Him. God is still speaking and if man is going to behave His word, man will get to expected glorious destiny. Have you heard from Him but yet to behave?

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to know and to behave whatever He is saying to you.
