FAITH CAPSULE: Jesus came for man’s victory but with lack of understanding man remains victimized.

John 14

Jesus is always watching on us to move on our behalf when we trust, hope to obey His word for deliverance and preservation. At one of Jesus’ passing, He restored a blind man’s sight in a questionable way as recorded, “…He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So, he went and washed, and came back seeing.” (John 9:6-7) The point here is that, the blind man did not question or doubt the word of God but took off and went to wash. Jesus’ command was a direction for the blind man’s avenue to receive his sight. Doubt or distraction could not derail the blind man from obeying Jesus’ commanding direction for his miracle.
Doubt will hinder faith and it will not move faith forward. Jesus came to take over our challenges and He is the same yesterday and today. When God takes over in the place of challenge man should not overtake God but to allow God. Psalm 34:19 testified, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” At all time the word of God should be considered done and settled. Doubt will unsettle what the Lord has settled for man in His promising word. The blind man responded to Jesus’ commanding direction which settled his challenge. With faith, Jesus won our battle over 2000 years ago and it was settled for man to be a winner by faith. Without doubt, Jesus came, and He has given victory to all, but many continue to be victimized because of doubt.
Get to know Jesus! From today know Him and not doubt Him. One must know God for who He is and what He can do. What is it that you do not know about Him? The word of God is His work. All His creation from the beginning was His word. Knowing by seeing His work (creations by His word) is the evidence that He is near. Psalm 75:1 buttressed, “…For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.”
The word of God in His work is true that God is near to man that will hear and see in His word. It is time to be living by His word. Seeing the creations of God by His word is everywhere for man to know Him and not doubt Him. God is unfailing, He is a mighty warrior. It is important to know personally that Jesus came for a purpose. Jesus, in His word confirmed the purpose of His coming when He said, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Jesus came to give abundant life. Take Him serious in His word.

Prayer for today: Ask from God by thanking God at all time for the coming of Jesus.
