The long and short of the matter in this life for the Christian is summarised in the following.

Hebrews 3:18-19Living Bible (TLB)

18 And to whom was God speaking when he swore with an oath that they could never go into the land he had promised his people? He was speaking to all those who disobeyed him. 19 And why couldn’t they go in? Because they didn’t trust him.

Notice that they received the promise (only those with a relationship with Him can be given the promise) but they didn't get it because they didn't demonstrate a consciousness that he was able to make it good. Realise that trust is demonstrated in times of adversity.

You can say you trust your spouse, but it is demonstrated when someone brings unsavoury tales about the same spouse. You demonstrate trust when you leave your money in the care of a seemingly poor accountant or sales boy.

There has to be the potential for calamity if the one you place your trust in fails or betrays your trust for you to have really demonstrated your trust.

If you trust my ability to drive at night, you get into my car at night and promptly fall asleep despite all the potential hazards. You demonstrate trust in a pilot when you get on his plane and fall asleep.

God expects you to trust Him to fulfil all he tells you. Without this, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).

The four friends and the bedridden cripple demonstrated trust (faith) by defying all odds to destroy a roof and lower the cripple down to Jesus. Their thinking would have been, "If he falls down and breaks his neck, Jesus would still heal him."

Cast yourself on Him and trust His ability to bring His word to pass irrespective of the perceived opposition.
Remember, "Herein is my Father glorified" (how?) "That ye bear much (not a little) fruit". The fruit here is prayer fruit.

Peter demonstrated trust by stepping out of the boat even though the storm was raging.
"TRUST" is another name for "FAITH".
No trust, no entry into the promise!
Selah!

Do you remember as a little child how you took your Father's word or promise to you as sacrosanct and earnestly looked forward to the fulfilment of the word or the promise. You even went about telling your friends of the promise. You never doubted him or his ability to make good his promise. You could hardly contain your excitement and had to be told to calm down.

You also remember the way you expressed your gratitude to your father when the promise was fulfilled?
No one could get you to imagine that your father would not make good his promise.
Do you know that your heavenly Father expects you to relate the same way with Him?
If you are not convinced, look at Matthew 7: 9-11.

Your Father wants you to be like Children this year 2024 were He is concerned .
He has great plans for you, and they are all embedded in His wonderful promises to you.
Get acquainted with those promises and start getting excited in anticipation of their fulfilment.
God bless you in abundance.

An extract from Kenneth Hagin

A pastor friend of mine asked me to come by his Assembly of God church and preach Sunday through Wednesday night. In that church, there was a man there who was forty-eight years old who had never walked one step in his life. He had been a member of that church most of his life. Now I knew when I laid hands on him on Monday night that the healing power of God went into him. And I told him it did.
As I went on to others in the healing line, some of the men of the church got him up and tried to get him to walk, but he couldn’t. When they turned him loose, he fell in a heap on the floor. They finally gave up on him, sat him back in his chair, and left him alone. They carried him home.
The next night they carried him to church. The pastor and I drove to the side of the church to park. We were sitting there talking about a particular verse of Scripture. Now his church building was very old. It had high steps leading to the entrance. The pastor said, “Look! Look!” Well, I looked and saw a man running up the steps into the church. But I quietly turned back to the pastor because I wanted to see what he had to say about this particular verse we were discussing.
He said to me, “That didn’t register on you, did it?”
I said, “What do you mean?”
He said, “That was Brother _____.” I still didn’t know the man’s name. It didn’t mean a thing in the world to me.
I said, “What do you mean, Brother _____?”
“Oh,” he said, “that’s the man who has never walked. He has been in this church for nearly forty years, and he has never walked in his life. That was him running up those steps!”
Then I got excited.
The pastor had this man who had never walked before testify. He said, “I knew the power went into me. I felt it go all over me, like a warm glow. Yet I still couldn’t walk. I wasn’t any better. They took me home, and my youngest brother put me to bed.” You see, this young man was helpless enough that he couldn’t get dressed and undressed by himself.
He continued, “The last thing I said before I went to sleep was, ‘The healing power of God was ministered to my body and is working in me to heal me.’ When I woke up the next morning, my family got me out of bed, dressed me, and put me in my chair. Then at several different times in the day, I said, ‘That power was ministered to my body. That healing power is working in my body to heal me.’ At times, when I would say that, I could feel it in my body. It was just like a warmth all over me.
“Suddenly, I felt a surge of strength go through me. I had never stood on my feet in my life. But I had an urge to stand, so I pushed myself up. I was standing for the first time in my life. I stood there for a few moments, and it seemed like I was going to fall, so I sat back down. I sat there praising God, because the healing power of God was ministered to me. Before I knew what I was doing, I stood up on my feet again and began to walk. I’ve been walking ever since!”
Now this man could have missed it after I ministered to him. He could have said, “I felt that power go through me, but it didn’t work.” Thousands have done that. They’ve said, “I felt the power, but I’m no better.” But this man didn’t say that. He said, “The healing power of God was ministered to me. It is working. It’s working in my body to effect a healing and a cure.” Thank God, it did. We all saw it.

This is applicable not only to healing but to every walk of life. Never say it isn't working for His word is never devoid of power.
Cones and act as if it is working because it is working!

*Faith, Authority and you*.

Do you want things to happen for you instantly or in no time? Do you wonder why you stand in "faith" and it takes quite a while before the manifestation? Do you know that the issue might be from your misunderstanding of how faith and authority interact and as such trivialising matters?

Follow me here:

Luke 7:7-9
Neither did I consider myself worthy to come to You. But [just] speak a word, and my servant boy will be healed.
For I also am a man [daily] subject to authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bond servant, Do this, and he does it.
Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and He turned and said to the crowd that followed Him, I tell you, not even in [all] Israel have I found such great faith [as this].

and Matthew 8:8-10
But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured.
For I also am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.
When Jesus heard him, He marveled and said to those who followed Him [who adhered steadfastly to Him, conforming to His example in living and, if need be, in dying also], I tell you truly, I have not found so much faith as thiswith anyone, even in Israel.

Note that in both versions, the centurion said he obeyed officers over him and people under him obeyed him. The principle is "I am obedient so I will be obeyed". A variation is "I give my word and keep it, so I expect God to keep His word". Do you tell folk that you will do stuff then forget about it or trivialise it? Your spirit man will find it difficult believing that God won't do same to you. Remember that God said "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he surely reap" and "with what measure he uses, the same will be used for him".
Give your word and keep it, then you can believe that God will keep His.
Practice with little things, hold yourself accountable to your word and watch the spirit realm also take you seriously.
Selah!

I am trying to help a young lady get financial help through crowdfunding for medical surgery.

I met her about February 2019 in that medical condition and I have been a great help to her till date, to the glory of God.

But, she needs to move over to ABUTH Zaria, from LASUTH Lagos.

I am relying on friends and brothers/sisters like you, and friends, to partner with me to help her complete her surgery, which she was to have done in March 2019.

There had always been a shift in date for appointment by the surgeon, between March 2019 till date.
She is still alive today by the grace and mercy of God.

Do follow the link I shared and help in any way you are led to.

Regards.

Do you know that Jesus said that if you tell something to do anything, it would obey you (as long as you are not undecided about what you say)? This is either true or Jesus lied. Go reckon 🤷🏾‍♂️
