MFM Daily Devotional 7 January 2025 Message
One of Jesus’ greatest admonitions to us (believers) is to have faith in God (John 14:1). All through His earthly ministry, He commends and rewards faith, just as He condemns and rebukes faithless people. Jesus knew that faith is the key that grants access to the great things that His Father has for us. We cannot please God or walk successfully and profitably with Him without faith. We cannot receive something worthwhile from Him and experience fulfilment in life without faith.
On one occasion, in the face of a daunting and seemingly insurmountable challenge, He told Martha, the sister of Lazarus, “If thou can believe, thou shall see the glory of God.” What Jesus meant was that though the facts about Lazarus’ situation were clear, having faith in the God of all possibilities could make a difference and turn the situation around.
READ MFM Daily Devotional 6 January 2025 – When God Is Pre-Eminent
The first fact was that Lazarus had been certified dead. In fact, he died four days earlier. The second fact was that his decomposing body was already smelling. The third fact was that Jesus arrived later than they expected. As far as Lazarus’ sisters were concerned, the Royal Master would have healed him if He had arrived before Lazarus died, no matter the type of ailment plaguing him or the extent it might have gone.
They had no clue that Jesus, the Resurrection and Life, could raise the dead. In God’s Kingdom, the truth is what counts, not the fact. The truth here is that how long Lazarus had been dead, the decomposing state of his corpse and Jesus not arriving before Lazarus gave up the ghost were inconsequential.
The Miracle Worker’s overruling power and surpassing authority would change everything, provided Lazarus’ sister would demonstrate faith in God. That faith will bring God into the precarious and terrible situation, turn it around, give her a miracle of bringing her brother back to life, manifest God’s glory and make their family evidence and living testimony of God’s sovereignty and power.
Beloved, no matter what you are passing through today, no matter the season of life you are in (good or bad), my charge to you is to have faith in God.
