THIS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO BRING ABOUT A DESIRED CHANGE
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Matthew 15:28 "Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."
This scripture shows the extraordinary ability inherent in a person with God's kind of faith regardless of his or her background. This woman had approach the master Jesus with a conviction based on a revelation of God's word about the divinity of Christ. She was convinced that there were no limitations to any person with God's kind of faith and this led to the healing of her daughter who was miles away from where she met Jesus.
Distance is no barrier in the realm of faith. Jesus described this woman's faith as great because of what she had to overcome to arrive at her conclusions about the workings of the power of God.
Firstly, she had to overcome the doctrines that disqualified her from being a partaker of the blessings of God. God's love for her was far greater than any law that disqualified her (Col.1:12-13). She also overcame the curse mentality. Jesus took all curses and became our immunity against curses (Gal..3:13)therefore, there isn't any ancestral curse to be broken as some preachers erroneously claim (Ezekiel.18:2). She knew that the only person strong enough to break a curse is the one with the power to pay for sins and since no preacher can pay for sins none can truly break a curse as they erroneously claim. Only Jesus can take away a curse by the power to forgive sins ( Matthew 9:6) .
Therefore, with these mental obstacles removed all that is needed to receive a miracle is the faith ( total reliance on God) of the recipient. Faith is one's loyalty to God and a belief in the unseen. It is an irrevocable acknowledgment of God's trustworthiness therefore a lack of faith is a declaration that He can't be trusted. The corrupted mind only believes in what can be seen with the eyes but this is limiting in effect and creates fear. If one is in a room full of furniture at night and the electricity is turned off, one becomes very cautious while moving about, though one can't see his or her way through and if someone else where to come into the room , he or she would need to take instructions from the first occupant in order to move around . This is a demonstration of faith at work. The second person has faith in the first. Though he or she can't see with the physical eyes yet with the eye of the heart he or she can see based on the trust they have on the first occupant.
Likewise, God wants us to trust Him as we navigate the path of life to our healing,marriages,finances, ministries etc.We do not need to see physical proof to believe, God’s trustworthiness is sufficient. The scriptures says 2 Corinthians 4:18 AMP "Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting." also in 2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP "For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.". Therefore, after praying for a thing and haven confirmed that it's God's will to have it one must not see the job, business, money, spouse, healing before believing. Our faith leads us to the place were our desire becomes a physical reality.
Faith is a spiritual navigation device that leads us to our inheritances in Christ. It is like a pilot flying a plane from Nigeria to Australia, though he or she may not see the physical route to the destination but he or she has faith in the manufacturers of the navigation device and network of computers that guides the movement of the plane and eventually gets to the required destination as long as the pilot follows the user manual and instructions from the navigation officers. The bible is the user manual that God has given to us with pastors, teachers,prophets, evangelists,apostles as the navigation officers. Therefore, if we must follow their instructions as prescribed by scriptures to get to our desired destinations in life.
Faith is a tangible reality, the substance (title deed) of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen (Heb.11:1). For example, the cups of water in a freezer is the evidence that ice blocks will be produced over time. Initially, we may not see the ice blocks but with our eyes of faith we can see them and are expectant with joy.
Joyful anticipation with thanksgiving is the proof of faith while complaining and murmuring is the reverse(Rom5:1-2,1Cor 10:10 ). Nothing destroys a marriage or community like the lack of faith in God and each other .In other to appear trendy, couples are allowing themselves get distracted by the media and spend less time on the word of God which is the ONLY source of faith (Rom.10:17) No external influence should be blamed for the crisis in a home but the unhealthy choices made by the parties involved. It is for that reason that regular fasting and prayer like once in a week is a sine qua non for a thriving relationship with one's spouse (1cor7:5). Faith is indispensable in the survival of the human species (Gal.2:20,Hebrews10:38a) We live by faith. No marriage can survive without faith which walks by love. We are saved from family crisis by our faith likewise it is by faith that nations are saved from calamities (Ephesians 2:8,9,Lk,7:47-50,Jn3:16) .Homes, nations start to fall apart once we start drifting away from studying scriptures . This leads to unnecessary suspicions , exploitation and abuse leading to the destruction of the bond of peace and partnership. We cannot please each other and God without faith (Hebrews 11:6,Rom.14:23b). Without faith married folks irritate each other.Better to be considered out of fashion but with faith than fashionable and without faith ( 1Peter 3:1-6) .Persons with faith have a better chance at keeping a relationship because of the complexities of life.They seldom blame each other for any failure. Faith gives us hope and strength to go through the storms of life (Psalm27:13) therefore it is faith that sustains relationships and not money, intelligence, beauty,food,social status, sex etc. and faith comes from receiving a regular dose of sound biblical doctrine. As you read this now, receive grace for breakthrough in every facet of life in Jesus name
