Believe God (Daily Devotional)

Hello and welcome to Living Supernaturally. We are so glad that you could be here for the daily devotion of All People’s church, looking forward to spending this time here with us. Today, we are looking at the topic which is receiving the promise or receiving what has been given to us freely by grace and how do we appropriate it and receive it into our lives? We look at this work of grace and we see how do we appropriate it because it has been given so we can appropriate it personally, walk in it, experience it, whether it is salvation, forgiveness of sin, blessing, healing and every other provision that comes from God. It has been given and extended to us freely by grace. So, where is the problem? Why is it that I can’t seem to have it automatically? We see that it is received through faith. So, we are going to look at one aspect of it. Since Jesus paid it all, how do I receive it? Well, the answer is very simple, we need to believe God in order to receive which means we need to take God at His word because the price for that provision has already been paid and that is why it is a provision of grace. Isaiah chapter 53, verse 5 talks about that ‘He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities.’ So, the greatest price that was the stripes of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus has already been paid. Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3 says, ‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.’ We are already blessed, already been provided for, so how do I receive it? When we look at the faith of Abraham, he believed God. We must know who we believe, that He is good, faithful and that will help us to put our faith in Him, that nothing is impossible for Him, to Him, that He is the creator God. Secondly, when we say we believe God, we believe His word wholeheartedly and totally. Every aspect of His word, who he says He is, all His promises, instructions, we believe it. Thirdly, we see that faith is the title deed or faith is something like that deed/ inheritance/ document that is given. So, faith is that title deed and the evidence of things not yet seen. We also believe wholeheartedly, we don’t believe half-heartedly, but we believe with all our heart. We also believe that we have received. When we say we believe God, it contains all this. We believe that we have received when we ask Him. Mark chapter 11, verse 24, Jesus said, ‘Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.’ This is how we believe in God to receive what has already been freely given to us. As we pray, let’s pray believing that we have already received into our lives. Let’s pray, Father, we thank you that we can believe in you, knowing who you are that you are the good God, faithful one, and you are who you say you are. We believe your word, take you at your word and we believe that whatever you have spoken will come to pass. We also believe that we have already received things that you have promised. May we walk in the fullness and manifestation of what we are asking, we thank you, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
