  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word.

FAITH

FAITH

Scripture Reading: Romans 4:16-25
Devotional:- “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God” (V. 20)

    The true praises of God can only come from a heart of faith. This is a heart that strongly believes God for a miracle. This is a heart that put his hope in God like Abraham did. This is a heart that is not fixed on what is available presently but what the promises of the word of God say. This is a heart that is willing to wait to see the manifestation of the word of God (Job 14:14).

 The word of God says Abraham did not waver or doubt God’s ability to fulfill His word in his life. Instead of doubting, he was rather giving glory to God (Romans 4:20). This was really possible because Abraham had made up his mind not to doubt God.  The word of God says doubters will receive nothing from God (James 1:6-8). So, Abraham had decided that instead of doubting, he will rather praise God. You should learn to do the same. Thank you Lord! You are able to help me! I know you are faithful! etc are ways to praise Him

Friend, learning to give glory and praises to God in any situation is a great way to help you overcome doubts. Instead of thinking negatively, you quickly remember the faithfulness of God and give Him praise. Since you have made up your mind not to doubt God, this will always help you out. Make up your mind to trust God till your change come like that of Job (Job 14:14). Decide not to turn to other God (Psalms 16:4). Remember, God has been faithful to the fathers and He will be faithful to you too. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, sustain me in faith of your faithfulness

“BY FAITH, YOU CAN BRING GOD’S PROMISES TO FULFILLMENT”
