Topic: Faith In God.
Memory Verse : Mark 11:24. This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—believe that you have received it and it will be yours.
Bible Reading :Mark 11:21-23 TPT. Key Verse : v22.
Peter remembered and said to him, “Teacher, look! That’s the fig tree you cursed. It’s now all shriveled up and dead.” Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done.
The Bible recorded that Jesus and his dosciples was leaving Bethany possibly after a hectic day, the previous day when they saw a very healthy looking fig tree. Because he was hungry, he desired some fruits from the tree to take care of himself. But on getting close, he found no fruits on this particular tree. He then cursed the tree and they continued their journey. The next day, as they passed by same tree, the disciples discovered to their shock that the particular fig tree cursed the previous day by the master had withered. “The next day, as he left Bethany, Jesus was feeling hungry. He noticed a leafy fig tree in the distance, so he walked over to see if there was any fruit on it, but there was none—only leaves (for it wasn’t yet the season for bearing figs). Jesus spoke to the fig tree, saying, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again!” And the disciples overheard him.”
Mark 11:12-14.
There and then, Jesus began to teach them faith with what they just witnessed about the fig tree. He made them understand that the faith of God was key to what they just witnessed in the case of the fig tree. This faith doesn’t doubt what he says, because he understands the power in his spoken words which are always creative. This is possible because the release of such creative words under any circumstances is the release of the Spirit and life of God which created all things we can or cannot see. ”As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11 NIV.
Now we need to learn to walk in the faith of God. King James refers to it as ‘faith in God’, which stands on love. This implies that God’s love for us is so strong that he is bound to grant all our good heart desires anytime we operate with understanding of the fact that he will never let us down for any reason. That love is the reason he had said that whatsoever we should ask from the father in his name shall always be done. God so loved the world that he gave…… This means that love will always move even ourselves to give because we bear the nature of God. As a man, you will always grant the desires of the one you love. “But the Scriptures affirm: What is man that you would even think about him, or care about Adam’s race. You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You placed your glory and honor upon his head as a crown. And you have given him dominion over the works of your hands, For you have placed everything under his authority. This means that God has left nothing outside the control of his Son, even if presently we have yet to see this accomplished.” Hebrews 2:6-8.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because of your love for me that is not in doubt. Help me to understand this love so much as to trust you absolutely in everything. Thank you because you will never let me down because of your love for me in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Job 2:1-13.
