| When I was a young Christian, I attended a
seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that
we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away
from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in
the Bible. But the answer was very different! |
|
| In the Gospel of
John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who
had been awed by His miracles — “What shall we do, that we may work the
works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding
5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. |
|
| Notice how Jesus
answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He
sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing — believing in Jesus
the sent one, who has done it all for you at the cross! |
|
| If you are
asking, “What must I do to receive my healing?” the answer is this:
Believe in Jesus, who “Himself took our infirmities and bore our
sicknesses”. (Matthew 8:17) We have seen members of our church delivered
from life-threatening conditions such as cancer and kidney failure.
They had simply believed that Jesus bore their diseases on His own body.
There was nothing for them to do, except to believe. |
|
| When the jailer
asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” they said,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your
household.” (Acts 16:30–31) The greatest miracle in your life happens
not by you working and trying to save yourself, but by you simply
believing in Jesus who died to save you from eternal damnation and to
give you eternal life. Why then, should the lesser miracles of healing
or financial breakthroughs be any different? |
|
| Beloved, what is
the miracle you need today? There is nothing left for you to do,
but everything for you to believe, because Jesus has
done it all for you! |
