Thank God for Honouring Faith
The final week of Jesus’ earthly
life dawns – that period of time
which occupies more space in
the gospels than any other stage
of Jesus’ ministry. His arrival in
Jerusalem coincides with preparatn
for the Feast of Passover. Though
events move quickly, Jesus is not
hurried. There is time to clean
out the temple, watch the widow
contributes her two mites and give
final instructions to the disciples.
Lord, grant us Unshakable Faith:
As they passed by, they saw the
fig tree dried up from the roots…
Jesus said: Have Faith in God.
For assuredly I say to you, whoever
says to this mountain: Be removed
and does not doubt in his heart,
but Believes that those things
he says will be done, he will have
Whatever he says. Therefore I say
to you, Whatever things you ask
when you pray, Believe that you
receive them and you will have
them. (Mark 11:21-24). Amen.
Lord, Your promise of delivering
Whatever we ask really amaze us.
But we ultimately realise that
when we make request to You,
we must do so with a genuine
belief that God is capable of
accomplishing what we ask
– that’s faith. We may not get
the new car we are hoping for,
but we can confidently approach
You God with our needs and
believe that You can provide. Amen
Lord, we can certainly do things
to persuade our hearts to Believe:
by dwelling on Your promises and
remembering Your past works.
But ultimately, Faith is a Gift of God
and we get it from the work of
the Holy Spirit within us. Lord,
I need faith for mine is weak and
wavering at times but I do believe.
Help my unbelief and remove
my doubts. Give me the faith that
comes from Your Spirit, as I dwell
in Your presence each day. Amen.
Father God, I come to You with
my need and claiming Mark 11:24.
I trust that this desire and need
is within Your will for You have
used Your servant prophets and
confirmed with signs of promise.
Trust I’m asking You in faith that
You reward those that diligently
seek You; for it’s been such a long
time that I have been asking You.
I know that in Your sovereignty,
You do things Your way & Yr time.
But Father God, I plead for Your
mercy to grant me Your favor and
favour of men as soon as possible.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
