(Third part)
Memory verse (John 6: 29) “ Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
Jesus’ answer to all those dear saints with these precious questions about their destinies and living meaningful and fruitful fulfilling lives is, BELIEVE IN JESUS WHOM GOD SENT. Our faith in Jesus and the finished work of the cross is what makes us flow in the works of God. Our intimacy with God produces the true knowledge of Him. And the knowledge of God produces faith. Daniel put it this way: those who know their God will be strong and they will do great exploits (Dan11: 32).
The more time we spend with God the more the Holy Spirit reveals to us Jesus and the work of the cross he accomplished. And the more revelations of who he is flood our lives the more faith that is built in our spirits. And when our faith in him grows greater and greater, we begin to believe him for great things. Miracles, signs and wonders begin to follow us as we declare his word. Exploits begin to follow our ministry. Your faith in God depends on how much time you spend with him (2Cor3: 18).
Keep building your faith in God. Keep feeding your faith on God’s word daily. Keep building your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, i.e. praying in tongues (Jude1: 20). Keep edifying your spirit (1Cor14: 2,4,14,15). Keep welcoming the Holy Spirit to help you mortify the works of the flesh as you pray in the spirit (Rom8: 13). Keep asking the Holy Spirit to help you in your prayer life (Rom8: 26-27). As you keep growing up in your faith in God, mighty things will keep happening in your life, it’s not by might nor by power but by the Holy Spirit (Zech4: 6). Know that it’s not the formulas or systems or methods or machines that do the works of God, it’s God who does his works through men as they allow him to flow through them. I know God can give us ways, methods, but they cannot work by themselves just because God gave them. Never let your focus be on anything God gives but on God the source. It’s the source that makes the resource to be effective. It’s God who made the rod of Moses do wonders. It’s God who caused the jawbone in the hand of SAMSON to do miracles. Focus on Jesus and the work of the cross and miracles will flow in your life and ministry. Amen.
