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.
