There is a particular story
in the book of John Chapter 11 that the only thing I see there is the miracle
that was performed. I am talking about the story of the death of Lazarus and
how Jesus brought him back to life. However, I have come to see that there are
other important lessons from that story. One of which we are treating today.
In vs. 39 of that chapter,
Jesus said “Take away the stone”. In order words, Jesus was saying if you would
take away the stone, I will bring Lazarus back to life. Jesus could have said
“thou stone, roll away” but He chose not to, just let us know that no matter
how fertile the ground is, if you won’t plant on it, you won’t harvest anything
no matter how big your faith is.
For your heart desires to be
released, there is a part you need to play. If you will play your part, God
will play His. The woman with the issue of blood could have remained like that
for years had she not touch the hem of Jesus’ garment.
If you will do the natural, God
will do the supernatural. If you will do the ordinary, God will do the
extraordinary. The most certain thing is that GOD WILL PLAY HIS PART, the only
question is how well are you playing yours?
In Deut. 28, we are made to
understand that God’s blessings are conditional. If you will do what you CAN,
God will do what you CAN’T. God will not do for you what you can do for
yourself.
It is your job to submit that
CV or proposal, it’s God’s job to grant you favor.
Small exercise: What is that
one thing that you need God to do for you this month? What are the things you
know you have to do to make that one thing come to pass this month? Write them
down and act on them. It is your job to make that call to a potential client;
it is God’s job to touch the heart of the client for your sake. It is your job
to be punctual and diligent at work, it is God’s responsibility to promote you.
As you start acting in line
with your heart desires, God will speedily grant them to you.
