One
of the things that faith in God and His word does is that it makes you sound
crazy. Imagine someone without any idea of where the next meal will come from,
shouting, my God shall supply all of my needs.
There
was a story of a particular family in Liberia. During the hot Liberian war,
this Christian family had nothing left to eat. As an act of faith, they placed
empty plates on the dining table and covered them. They all went to the dining
table and all sat down to bless the meal. A guest in that home would have thought
“crazy family”. Suddenly they heard a very heavy knock on the door.
“Last
empty supper” one of them might have thought. Lo and behold, it was the rebel
fighters. They had their truck parked in front of the home of this family. To cut
the long story short, they brought different food items, cooking gas, drinks
and bathing soap for this family.
“You
are now our official cook and maid” said the rebel leader. That was how God
sustained this family throughout the time of the war.
I
am pretty sure that the family would have taken a step further to start eating
from the empty plate, had the rebel fighters not come.
In
Matthew 14, Jesus’ disciples showed this same act of faith when Jesus gave them
five loaves of bread and two fishes and asked them to share among five thousand
men (women and children not counted). Realistically, it is impossible but “faithically”
it is possible.
All
things are possible to him that believes.
One
truth is that, God can NEVER fail. He is always on time. However, your act of
faith triggers His help.
My prayer
for you this day is that, even your little act of faith in God will yield
massive results in Jesus Name. Amen!
