DO YOU BELIEVE?

DAILY GRACE WEDS.18TH JAN, 2017 DO YOU BELIEVE? MATTHEW 9: 28 Top of a new day to you, God of all grace will increase your faith in the name Jesus Christ. " And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord." Your confession of faith and the word of grace is vital to what God of all grace will do in your life because it is what you speak that God of all grace will fix for you. When the blind men came to Him for mercy, He asked them, Believed you that I am able to do this?  Faith is the greatest condition of receiving Christ’s favours. They who would receive the mercy of Christ Jesus, must firmly believe the power of Christ. Whatever you want Him to do for you, you must be fully assured that He is able to do exceedingly and above all that you can imagine. These blind men followed Christ Jesus, crying for mercy, but the great question is, Do ye believe?   Nature may work fervency, but it is only grace that can work faith, also spiritual blessings are obtained only by faith in Christ Jesus. They had intimated and demonstrated their faith in the office of Christ as Son of David, and in His mercy; but Christ demands likewise a profession of faith in His power.  Believe ye that I am able to do this, to bestow this favour; to give sight to the blind, as well as to cure the palsy and raise the dead?  It is good to be particular in the exercise of faith, to apply the general assurances of God’s power and good will and the general promises, to our particular exigencies. All shall work for good, and if all, then this. “Believe you that I am able, not only to prevail with God for it, as a prophet, but that I am able to do it by my own power?” This will amount to their belief of His being not only the Son of David, but the Son of God, for it is God’s prerogative to open the eyes of the blind (Ps. 146:8) because He makes the seeing eye (Exod. 4:11). To this very probing question, they gave an immediate answer, without hesitation, they said, Yes, Lord. They displayed confident of His ability. The treasures of mercy are laid up in the power of Christ, are laid out and wrought for those that trust in Him (Ps. 31:19). Friend, Let me put it to you that do you believe that Christ is able to do for you, that which you desired his year? Accept this truth that as long as you are willing to receive and follow Him, He will do it by; (a.) the power of His merit and intercession in heaven (b.) of His Spirit and grace in the heart (c.) and of His providence and dominion. To actually believe the power of Christ is not only to assure yourself of it, but to commit yourself to it and encourage yourself in it daily. May God strengthen your heart in Jesus' name. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Father, l receive the grace to express my faith in Christ Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return. Enquiries @ PGM lnt'l richgracemission@gmail.com www.pentecostalgrace.blogspot.com.ng +2348058561464 +2347083069998
