JUST BELIEVE

Memorise:
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. .. Mark 11:23

Read:
James 1:5-7

Message

Today's Bible reading says that you should only ask God for things in faith. It further says that if you doubt, you should not expect to get anything from God. I know that some situations can look scary and tough, but if you want to live above those situations, you have to believe in God. In Matthew 14:28-29, Peter's faith was unwavering when he told Jesus, "...bid me come unto thee on the water." However, when he looked at the boisterous wind around him and stopped believing, he started to sink. No matter how tough things are, do not lose your faith.

When I got born again in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, I was extremely happy about my salvation, but I was very sickly. Every two weeks, I would be sick with malaria and would require medical treatment. At that time, whenever Christians talked about healing without medication, I did not believe them. I used to say, "You have shown me the way to heaven; don't send me there too quickly." Then, one day, I heard a testimony from an old man about how God miraculously healed him of a bent back, and immediately, my faith was aroused. I thank God that since that time, that faith has been getting stronger daily. If you want to see great miracles in your life, believe what God has said. If He has done mighty wonders before, He can do them again and again.

I once went to a Kenneth Hagin campmeeting in the United States of America and saw about 7,000 people in one convention. I had never seen anything like that before because, at that time, the entire congregation of The Redeemed Christian Church of God was less than 1,000.However, while on the plane back to Nigeria, I told those who went with me that, one day, our pastors alone would be more than 17,000. They didn't believe me. Today, God has surpassed my expectations. When you have faith in God, He sets you up to break records. He makes you a wonder unto many when you believe.

Science says prove it, and I will believe you. However, God says believe Me, then I will prove it. When God asks you to do something, believe Him. Don't try to add or remove from what He has said. Just believe, and He will do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think(Ephesians 3:20).

Hymn:
My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to believe everything Your word has said concerning me so I can experience Your glory, in Jesus' name.

King James Version

James 1:5-7

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. [6] But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. [7] For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
RCCG Hymn

My hope is built on nothing less

  1. My hope is built on nothing less
    Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
    I dare not trust the sweetest frame.
    But wholly lean on Jesus name.

  2. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
    All other ground is sinking sand.
    All other ground is sinking sand.


  3. When darkness seems to veil His face,
    I rest on His unchanging grace;
    In every high and stormy gale.
    My anchor holds within the veil.
  4. His oath. His covenant, and blood.
    Support me in the whelming flood;
    When all around my soul gives way,
    He then is all my hope and stay
  5. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
    s Oh, may I then in Him be found;
    Dressed in His righteousness alone.
    Faultless to stand before the throne.
