Prove your faith in God
(Mat 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. Mat 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
How often do we look down on yourself belittling the gifts and calling bestowed on us by the sovereign God , the creator of heaven and earth. . Is that the reason why we do not do exploits? Have we become crying babies looking for sympathy? Have we lost our identity and the giftings after Jesus Christ led captivity captive.? The father in heaven is ministering again and again your first-born rights, privileges, gifts and callings . (Jer 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. ). And this is not coming from your local a Proped, the village elders and men ordained Ministers by other men of the Gospel. But from the creator and author of life, the everlasting God.
A grown-up child is a seasoned Christian who has refused to leave the mothers house to mature and be independent to pursue the promises with faith in God. (Luk 9:41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.). They fail to make that decision and hides in the safety of a master for years. He or She is Spiritual dwarfs preferring to drink milk and not hard meat. They are fearful, seeking sympathy , lazy and tiring to engage. The faithless Christian engages in empty quotes of the bible that have no works of faith. And they are risk averse with little faith. (Mat 8:26 And he saith unto them, why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.). They are not lepers but busybodies on other people’s affairs. That is the most retrogressive group you should never allow in your circle.
These are not lepers but grown-up children. The lepers at the gates of Samaria made a decision to enter the camp of the Syrians, and they became saviors of the King and a kingdom of cowards hiding around a wall of fear. Because the lepers did exploits. (2Ki_7:8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.)
Peter walked on water. He challenged his faith and asked the Lord Jesus Christ to beckon him to do the miraculous. He was courageous and trusted Jesus Christ; He was convicted he could do it as Jesus Christ was in the presence. He did it. He walked on water ! Though on the way he developed cold feet. He did and at the tail end, he was assisted by Jesus Christ to finish the journey of faith. ( Mat 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Mat 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?) He is the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus is repeating the same message to his disciples, to grow up
But you are still sitting as a child waiting for the miraculous to happen! How long will the gifts of power, authority, creativity and innovation that reside in you remain inactive? You were empowered before the foundation of the world. But you are still a child or is it a grown-up child? (Jer 1:6 Then said I, ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.). Because without faith, you are a grown-up child. You cannot please God.
Instead of whining and complaining , it is time to grow up. That is to push your faith to see what is expected of you . You have been sitting under mentorship by ministers, of God hearing great messages ,prophetic words that unlock the value in your , attending conferences and Sunday services with zeal , social platforms and street preaching. Has this become a familiar spirit with no works of faith?
Out there in the market place are wolves but there is a harvest for you. In whatever calling you are gifted, there is something great for you that will glorify God. (Luk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, the harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.)
Is it not time that we arise as the spirit of God in Jesus Christ has gone before us to make the crooked paths straight? (Luk 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. ). Today , challenge the faith of God in you as the author and finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ is waiting for you to release divine power for greater works and exploits.
The Prophetic Voice of the Son is the Voice of the Father
