“I believe, yes Lord, I believe, yes Lord, I
believe, it is well with me.” This is one song that most of us sing with
everything in us but our attitude and our spirit is showing strong signs of
disbelief. Sometimes this could be understandable considering the weight of
what we are believing God for. It could be hard for a man who does not have a
source of income yet to believe God for divine provision considering that we
have all been programmed into seeing the physical before the spiritual which is
a very wrong approach.
Isa 7:9b says, “If ye will not believe, surely ye
shall not be established. In order words, you can never receive anything from
God until you believe. In Matt 9:27-31, two blind men kept following Jesus and
asking for mercy that they may see. When they finally had access to Jesus, He
asked them a very vital question, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord,” and they received their sight. Note one
statement Jesus uttered, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
In order words, if those guys had not believed, they
might have remained blind for life. As believers, we are to believe whatever
the word of God has said concerning us so that we can enjoy the benefits. When
the ruler of the Synagogue’s daughter died in Mark 5, Jesus told the man, “Do
not be afraid, only believe.” In Mark 9, when a man brought his sick son, Jesus
said unto him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that
believes.” You are not called a believer because you attend church, you are a
believer because you believe the word of God.
If you go through the New Testament very well, you
would realize that bulk of the miracles that Jesus did were activated by the
recipient’s belief. If you can believe, you can receive.
Remain blessed!
