TEXT: "Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you" (Matt 9:29)

With God, all things are possible. With your faith, all things are possible. It is unto you according to your faith, not according to another person's faith. This implies that nothing is impossible to you when you have faith. If that be the case beloved, it is vital we have deep understanding of what faith really means because there is the faith that works.

I define the faith that works as an Absolute Confidence In God that He has the ability to do for you what He says He will do.

For your faith to work you must take note of these facts:

1: Faith that works doesn't work with alternatives. Faith loses its power the moment you have alternatives to your situation or challenges in life. The faith that works is an absolute confidence in God and God alone. Pls take note of this point as we progress in the month.

2: Faith that works works with instructions. The meaning is that for you to operate in the realm where all things become possible for you, you must receive and act on God's instructions, instructions on the steps to take to overcome the challenge of your life. Your acting on these instructions is what is called faith. For instance, Jesus told the ten lepers to go and show themselves to the priest without physical proofs that they were cleansed. On their way going in obedient to that instruction, they were cleansed (Lk 17:12-14). Dear child of God, stop waiting for signs before taking steps. The man that was born blind was instructed to go to the pool of Siloam and wash, he went and came back seeing (John 9:1-7).

Namaan was told to go to river Jordan and bath seven times. Even though he first argued, he went and did as he was instructed and returned home cleansed (2Kings 5:1-14). These were men who acted on instructions that brought their solutions.

You may have received an instruction that you are yet to act upon. Your acting on them is a proof of your faith. Faith is impotent when there's no instruction to act upon. What is that instruction you are still struggling to obey? Take step now to proof that you believe God, and the impossible shall become possible in your life.

Meditate on this Hymn:

1. When we walk with the Lord In the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way; While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:
Trust and obey, For there’s no other way. To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.

PRAYER: Receive grace to obey God's instructions for the impossible to be made possible in your life this month, in Jesus name!

DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2022, I am more than conqueror by the Power of the Holy Spirit therefore I shall continue to celebrate all through the year, hallelujah!
