“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” – Matthew 28:18
Faith is POWER which can only be exercised by someone who believes in the existence of God. If you do not believe that God exists, then you cannot possibly have faith in Him. The center of God’s Spirit and existence is CHRIST – The eternal word of God who manifested as Jesus Christ. Christ is the power that manifests all things, for the scripture says God created all things by His word! Jesus Christ is the one who assumed the power of God, and who is able to create all things by His divine nature.
All powers to actualize all things have been given to Jesus Christ – because He is the WORD OF GOD WHO CREATED ALL THINGS. If the word did not fail to create the world, then Jesus will not fail to answer our prayers or help to actualize our desires. That means that Jesus is with us always! He is around you, as well as within your soul – He is the power that keeps you alive. This is true for every human being.
However, when it comes to the power to manifest your desires, then you must have faith in the one who holds the power of creation – JESUS CHRIST. Faith is a gift from God to mankind, for every human being has been given a measure of faith, BUT not everyone is capable of exercising faith.
The first step to exercising faith in God is your ability to realize one basic fact – that Christ exists in you! He is in charge of your life. When you exercise faith, therefore, you must begin to trust Christ power in you. Try as much as possible to feel and believe that GOD”s WORD LIVES IN YOU! Secondly – Commit every of your desire into His hands and trust that He will perfect everything pertaining to you. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU trying to do things with your human power, IT IS ABOUT CHRIST IN YOU. Each time you take a step wanting to actualize anything, first pray that the will of God be done. Then proceed to work in the direction of what you want. Therefore, when you take any step, believe that Jesus is the one who has taken the step, NOT YOU! Any wonder then that the scripture says that Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith. Three – You must always understand that Jesus Christ has the key to the heart and the soul of GOD. Why? Because Jesus has all the authority in heaven and on earth as given to him by God!
Therefore, Jesus is in charge of ALL THINGS! Four – understand that Christ in you is the Hope of Glory. Christ lives in you with all His power and glory. But it’s just that you are yet to be alive to His presence in you. In order to AWAKE Christ in you, you must start to imitate Jesus Christ by stepping into His glorious footsteps. How do you do this? When you do anything, see yourself as Jesus doing that same thing. Therefore, when you pray for anyone, see yourself as Jesus praying for that person. When you counsel anyone, see yourself as Jesus counseling that person. When you lay hands of healing; see you as Jesus healing that one. When you are talking with anyone, see yourself as Jesus talking with that one!
PRAYER
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, take hold of my heart today and make it yours. Henceforth, all my declarations have become yours. Thank you, Jesus, for you are the author and finisher of my faith. AMEN
