Good morning Champion, welcome to a brand new week.
Be a Believing Believer!
I want to further challenge you concerning being a believing believer. It is our belief in God and His promises which causes everything He has intended for us to manifest for us.
The epicentre of our believing is of course to be in Jesus. As we daily choose to believe in Him and in all that He accomplished for us through His perfect finished work we see the release of all we need to fulfil our lives and destinies.
John 6:28-29 (New King James Version)
Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
The question was simple and sincere, “What shall we do?” The answer was simply profound “… believe in Him whom He (God) sent.” Here we see the work that God requires from us is to believe in Jesus! This can so grind against our works based, performance driven, factory setting that says everything we see produced is always in accordance to what we do or have done. Jesus reminds us here again that as new creations in Him we are not human doings but human beings. Our responsibility is to be the believers He has called us to be and through our faith see the incredible things He has promised come into being and fulfilment.
As you read through the Gospels and witness Jesus doing incredible things for people, most of whom were not religious synagogue attendees, you see many times before releasing the miracle He would ask the same thing, “Do you believe I can?” Believing in Him is the most powerful thing that we can do. It produces more than we could ever produce in our own ability and leaves us humbled in the presence of a great and mighty God who calls us His child.
Let’s make the decision today to be busy with the work that God desires from us, which is to be found believing in the One He sent. He is our saviour, healer, provider and so much more.
Bless you
Andy
