We Just Lost Focus

 Happy Sunday everyone,

When I go through the Bible and read some stories about the heroes of the Bible and how God showed His great power back then. Then coming to Jesus Himself how He displayed His power and authority, which was seen in the early Apostles, sometimes, it could appear as though God doesn’t show so much of His power and authority in this present age. One could think maybe God has changed in the way He does things. But He hasn’t, Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” So, why aren’t we seeing His power like the days of Moses, Elijah, and the early Apostles?

God/Jesus hasn’t changed, the reason why we aren’t seeing the display of God as we read in the Bible is just that of one thing—increase in unbelief. The level of unbelief has been increasing over the years and centuries. One thing we must understand is that God has never operated here on earth without going through man. If Man doesn’t believe, then the power cannot flow, this is why Jesus often said, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” It has always been a two-way communication, God gives, and we receive. But if we don’t receive, then nothing happens. Go through the Bible and you’ll find out that, Noah agreed to build the ark; Abraham had believed in God and he had Isaac; Moses agreed to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt; Deborah, Gideon, David, Elijah, Elisha, just name them, if they didn’t receive the power from God, nothing would have happened. And it was the level of their faith that determined that. But the level of faith today isn’t as strong as it was back then, that is why Jesus looking at the future asked if He would find faith on earth when He returns. Jesus is still the same, it is the faith of many that has changed.

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that is at work within us.” The truth is that we have more authority than those of the old testament Bible days heroes, we have the fullness of Christ dwelling in us which they didn’t have back then. It is just the amount you release that you would see. This goes to show the Sons of God need to be heavily equipped in order to carry out His work, or else we are all doomed. But one thing is sure which is that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, just allow Him to flow through you and see greater things than that of old manifest in your life.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
