But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
Matthew 9:22 NKJV
MESSAGE
Today we will look at some key areas of the Christian life where simple faith is enough to bring solutions. Although many pray, only a few receives. This is because they lack the simple faith to receive what they have asked.
People today no longer believe that God can take care of His servants who are in His service full-time. They say that heaven helps those who help themselves. Has the God of the Bible changed? No, we are the ones that lack the faith required for God’s miraculous works in our lives.
Do you know that your faith can make you whole from all kinds of infirmities? Your faith, not your prayer can make you whole. That was what happened to the woman with the issue of blood, she had a simple faith and it was enough to cause her to receive that outstanding miracle. In Mark 2:1-12, the Bible recorded that when Jesus saw the faith of the men who had brought their friend through the roof, He healed the man.
You can also receive divine provision through faith. God’s promises are true but do you believe them? In Luke 5, after Jesus had finished using Peter’s boat to preach, he asked Peter to launch into the deep, it took simple faith from Peter to receive that miracle.
Through simple faith in God, you can also receive deliverance from every oppression of the enemy. The faith of Daniel was enough to deliver him from the mouth of the lions and his enemies. The same simple faith was enough to turn the burning furnace into an air-conditioned atmosphere for the three Hebrew boys.
Finally, you can have victory over the enemies when you have a simple faith. One such occasion was when David was to confront the giant. He was sure that God can give him victory, and God did it. Goliath fell and the name of God was glorified. The walls of Jericho fell and God gave victory to the people of Israel.
Look at any area in your life where you have challenges and apply your faith in God to bring solutions. Cast all your cares upon Him in simple faith and He will give you great testimony. Simple faith receives from God, stop grumbling, stop being afraid, and start trusting God in simple faith.
REFLECTION
So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Like 17:6 NKJV
Simple faith lifts your above your mountains and levels your valley. It makes crooked paths straight and causes the impossible to become possible.
PRAYER
Father, please increase my faith in you. Help my unbelieving heart.
