FAITH CAPSULE: Let the word work for you.

Matthew 8

Receive and believe word of God to work for you. Word is enough to terminate struggle in any area of life. Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Syria, a mighty man of valor had leprosy challenge. However, when the word of God sounded in his direction he could not receive and believe the word that terminates challenges. Elisha told Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan seven times so as to be cleansed from his leprosy but he refused and could not accept the word of healing. The Bible said, “But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’” (2 Kings 5:11) Naaman struggled with word but later went back to receive and got cleansed.
Are you denying yourself a timely deliverance by not receiving or believing the word of God? The book of Psalm 107:20 stated the word of God, “He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions”  The bible also recorded, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) The word is still terminating challenge in the life of one that receives and believes in the word? Jesus was and He is still the living word of God that answers for ones that receive and believe His word.
It was the word of Jesus that healed a centurion’s servant. When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him asking for healing on behalf of his servant that was lying at home sick and paralyzed. Jesus responded with promise to go to centurion’s house. The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.” (Matthew 8:8) The centurion received and believed when he asked for the word. The word of God is to terminate challenge for any one that is definitely able to accept and trust in the word of healing and deliverance. Jesus saw the faith of the centurion with action without any doubt before Jesus. It is written in Matthew 8:13, “Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.”” Are you delaying your healing deliverance? Jesus as spoken let the word work for you.
