As You Have Believed
Memory verse: - Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Bible Reading: - Matthew 8
Message
Faith is highly expedient in receiving from God, without it all prayer activities will be futile and waste of time; without faith we cannot please God. In our text today, the leper and the centurion came to Jesus because they have heard of him, believed in what they heard and come with faith to receive their own miracle as well.
Just like them, we go to church today because we believe in God, we go believers’ gatherings because we believe that as they gather God is there in their midst. Yes, it is true God is there in their midst and his power is more present to heal, save and deliver them that are oppressed of the devil, but faith is needed to activate the power of God on your behalf.
So, henceforth as you go for retreat, convention or Christian convocations and gatherings, patiently listen to the word of God and after prayer or ministration, you should believe it is done, it is settled; that is, your prayer is answered and that you have received your miracle.
After this, it should be joy, praises and jubilation, no more worry, no more anxiety and by this your action you call those things that be not as though they were; this action of faith will activate the power of God on you behalf and you shall possess your possession.
Note the word of Christ, “as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee”. You believed first and then the miracle. If you manifest unbelieve after the prayer, you cancel answers to that prayer by your action. Look at the centurion, he believed the Lord’s word alone without touching his servant and the miracle was done. When you believe and your action of faith tallies with your faith, God’s abundant and available power will be activated and your miracle will come forth.
Even when you are alone and you tackle any problem of your own in prayers, your faith, confession, and action after the prayers will work for you for God cannot deny anyone who manifested faith. It is a settled thing in heaven and earth that faith activates the power of God; where such faith are manifested – there is no more moodiness, gloominess, staggering, worry and anxiety, but peace of mind and joy in the holy ghost because you are fully persuaded that it is done; finished and settled. It will be unto you according to your faith; as you have believed, so shall it be done unto you.
Confession of the day
I believe, Oh yes, I believe that it is well with me; that I am whole, well and delivered. I shall enjoy the goodness of God everyday of my life. It is well, it is done.
Prayer Point

Father, faith cometh by hearing your words, help me to read, study and meditate on your words every day. I want the word to dwell in me richly, open thou my understanding and let your words be written on the table of my heart.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
