The Essence Of Having Faith In God

He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12)

It is true that you would want to be filled with the power of God as a Christian. This is the exact interest of God because it sure that without the power of God in your life it will be very difficult to make success of your journey to heaven.

Glory be to God because he can do all things. The Holy Scripture is full of all the miracles that were done in the bible. The lame were made to walk, the blind were made to see. Sinners were delivered from the grip of sin and granted the lease of life.

Jesus is telling you today that all the record in the bible is a child’s play if only you can believe in him. Why is it so because he is going back to the father in heaven.  When he was here that he accomplished so much he was in flesh like me and you but now he is back to his natural heavenly position.

This is one of the passages in the scripture that had posed great challenge to professed Christians. Because of unbelief they could not believe that God can grant them the enabling to do greater works than Jesus. May God increase our faith. If it is difficult for you to believe that you can become the son of God with all attributes of God. How much more difficult to believe that you will the works that are greater than what Jesus had done.

Remember that the word of God cannot be abridged, whatsoever he says stands sure and unchangeable for ever. Heaven and the earth will pass away but the little jot of his word will never go unfulfilled. The challenge now is to believe him and lets see if we will not accomplish more works than he had done.

Devil would rather make you to feel unworthy of this promise of God. He would rather make you to feel that it is an act of pride to appropriate this promise, but it is the lie of devil. The word says that if only you can believe in Jesus. May God grant you that eternal faith to believe in him.

The promise once again is that ‘the works that I do shall he do also’ this first part is great. It is enough to do the works that Jesus did. It is worthy ambition that if achieved, you could be described as being successful christian. Glory be to God.

More that that is the second part of the promise which is this ‘greater [works] than these shall he do’ glory be to God. This is a point for me and you to consider. Why are we achieving so little in our personal, secular and spiritual life. We must do heart searching at this point. May God remove all the spiritual leakages in our spiritual life.

The verse said that if you believe in him. May God increase our faith so that we can achieve what God had promised us in our life. So that we will be able to take all the bounty supplies that God has in stock for us. God bless you.
