ENHANCED FAITH FOR RECEIVING GOD'S BEST


Faith is the key to receiving God’s best. The Holy Bible in Hebrews 11:6, says that without faith, it is impossible to please God (KJV). As believers, we must have an unwavering confidence in God and believe that He is able to do anything. We must trust in His promises and have faith that He will fulfill them.

In John 15:7, Jesus said, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” This means that if we truly trust and believe in God, we can ask for anything and it will be granted to us. However, to be a beneficiary to this, we must first have an intimate relationship with God. Having an intimate relationship with God entails, possessing Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal Saviour. Psalm 145:8-9 says, “The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.” It is only after accommodating Him within the confines of your heart as your LORD and Master, that studying and reading the word of God while praying and seeking to do His Will, will become effective when we approach Him with boldness and confidence. 

James 1:6-8 says, “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. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” We must have strong and unwavering FAITH in God's potential abilities. Doubt and fear can hinder and prevent us from receiving God’s best. We must trust that God’s Word is true and that He will keep His promises. In Matthew 21:22, Jesus said, “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” This is one of the most powerful promises God gave to us through Jesus Christ and we are expected to take it to heart. We must have Faith that God will answer our prayers according to His Will. We should not pray with doubt or uncertainty, but with confidence in God’s ability to answer our prayers.

The surest way to enhance our Faith in God is to meditate on His Word. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” We must regularly read and study the Holy Bible, and allow its teachings to sink deep into our hearts and permeate our minds. When we are saturated with God’s Word, our Faith will blossom and we will be better equipped to receive God’s best. Lodgement of our Faith in God is equivalent to trusting in His ability to brings His goodness to our doorstep. The word of God in Jeremiah  29:11 says; “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. We must have Faith that God is good and that He desires the best for us. Even when circumstances seem difficult, we must trust that God is working things out for our good (Romans 8:28).

As a way of concluding this section, I will like to state clearly, that Faith is essential for receiving God’s best. We must have a solidified and unwavering Faith in God while we go about our various endeavours. Believing that He is capable of bringing into fulfillment every of His promise made known to us and by ensuring that our all is entrusted in Him, He will make His goodness to ravage our predicaments. Remember to Read and meditate on His Word, seek His Will and obey it, trust in His Faithfulness, and your Faith will be enhanced for great things because it is its peculiarity that gives us the impetus to boldly approach God in prayers. And as we do so, our requests will never go unanswered, in Jesus Name, Amen. Endeavour to put your Faith in the absoluteness of God and He will surprise you with his amazing wonders.

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
