According To Your Faith – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 4th

(Believe and Receive)

TO THE BIBLE: Mark 9:23
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”

LET’S TALK
A key doesn’t look powerful on its own, yet it has the ability to unlock a whole house. In the same way, faith may seem simple, but it unlocks the endless possibilities of God’s power.

The Bible tells us of two blind men who came to Jesus, crying out, “…Thou son of David, have mercy on us” (Matthew 9:27).

Jesus didn’t respond to them immediately but waited until they followed Him to the house. Then the Lord asked them, “…Believe ye that I am able to do this?….” They responded, “…Yea, Lord” (Matthew 9:28).

Then, the Bible records, He touched “… their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened…” (Matthew 9:29-30). The blind men held their “key” of faith, and when they used it, their eyes were opened.

Notice His question to the two blind men: “Believe ye that I am able to do this?” Their healing depended on their belief.

Similarly, in Mark 9:22, a man brought his son to Jesus for healing and pleaded, “…If thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.” The Master responded, “…If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).

The man thought the responsibility was entirely on Jesus, but Jesus showed him it was about his belief. The man replied, “… Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief” (Mark 9:24).

Despite this mix of faith and doubt, the Lord had mercy on him and healed his son (Mark 9:25). God is always willing to do anything for you.

The requirement is your faith. It’s not enough to simply believe; you must act like you believe. Talk like you believe. Think like you believe. If you don’t think like you believe, you won’t talk like it, and if you don’t talk like it, you won’t act like it.

God’s Word renews your mind and helps you think correctly, enabling you to live in alignment with your belief (Romans 12:2).

No matter how significant a project or assignment is, even if you’re convinced it’s authentic and from God, it won’t happen unless you believe it’s possible.

Without belief, you won’t engage in what’s required to make it happen; instead, you’ll see it as a failed venture or a waste of resources.

For example, we’re now in the race for the last man, reaching those in our world with the Gospel.

We have to continue preaching until the last person is reached with the Gospel. And you know what?

That’s about to happen! When you believe this, something shifts inside you. You become intentional. You become urgent. You become part of the final push. Hallelujah!
