What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? Romans 4:1

We need to understand that the important things to live well and fulfilled have already been given to us in Christ (1 Peter 1:3). These blessings were made available to us, but they must be attained by faith and in the Name of Jesus. Now, you have to do something to get them, because the Kingdom of God is taken by force (Matthew 11:12).

Abraham began to reach the Lord’s promises when he heard His voice. God told him to leave his homeland to go to one that would be shown to him. As the patriarch heard this call, he received numerous blessings. This also happens to those who accept Jesus as Savior, becoming members of the Body of Christ.

When David became king of Israel, he had to fight Saul’s descendant, who claimed to be heir to his father’s throne. However, after receiving support of the people of Israel, who went to Hebron, the son of Jesse struggled to remain in charge of the kingdom. Nothing is easy as it seems, but the battle is through faith. Once the king was faithful to the Lord, He made him prosper. Likewise, we must use faith to fight for what is ours.

The apostles saw Jesus multiply bread and fish, but it is not written that something similar happened in their ministry. However, Christ had declared that whoever believed in Him would do works equal to His, and even greater (John 14.12). Often, we submit ourselves to what is apparently true, because we do not feel we are capable to fight for our rights guaranteed in Christ. After all, He will do whatever we ask (determine) in His Name.

When Paul collected sticks to make a fire on the island of Malta, Paul saw a snake hang on his hand. The snake poured all the poison into the blood stream of the servant of God. But the apostle’s faith annulled that animal’s capacity to kill. Therefore, the perception of the people in that island changed, for they saw that he had not suffered any harm. If Paul attained the faith to turn that situation around, so can we!

Now, those who join the Lord have at their disposal everything that has been prepared for those who believe in Him, but those who partner with the enemy see that they have made the wrong decision. Why not let yourself be used by the Most High? The Bible says: But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.  (1 Corinthians 6:17). Being united to God, who is a Consuming Fire, who will face you? If any demon dares to do so, he will be struck down by the Almighty!

Make divine light shine in your life by believing in the Word and giving good testimony that it is worth trusting the Lord. You must believe that the promises made to Abraham belong to you. God knows what to do for those who believe His Word, long before they ask for anything. So pray and live like a conqueror! 

In Christ, with love,
