There are so many reasons we run to God for help. From financial issues to marital issues to fruit of the womb issue to health issues to mental health issues and many more.
I have had my share of this issue. However, in my meditation on the word of God, being so bothered one day. I asked the Lord why despite being a Son of God I still have a reason to run to Him for help. I have the understanding of His word and the power and authority behind His word when used, but sometimes, even when confessions are made, it appears nothing seems to happen. It was then Lord answered me and said the only issue any Son or Daughter of God can face is a faith issue.
I am sure this won't seem like a surprise to many, as this isn't new knowledge. But the sad aspect is that we have heard about this but we haven't truly meditated on it, this is why we keep running to Him when He has told us what to do and when He has taken care of every issue we would ever face in this life.
The popular Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The Passion Translation puts it thus, "Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen." TPT.
We were slaves, not of His own when we didn't have His Spirit. But now, when we have received His Spirit, we are Sons and Daughters of God and are now at peace with Him, (ref.: Romans 5:1; 8:14,18).
Being a Son or Daughter of God means that we have a stand with all of Who God is, and not of us but all of Him. This is why He has expressed Himself as Grace in the person of Jesus whom we have received His Spirit as our new Spirit making us one with God.
Now, as we live here on earth is as God living here on earth because we live Him. What we are to do is to have a stand on His word, whether it appears logical or not, but for the fact that He is God Almighty who has the best plan and purpose for each one of us.
As we live our lives by standing on what He said (His word). The Holy Spirit guides us into the perfect will of God for our lives.
So, He tells us that we can never be sick, or be barren, and we are prosperous. The point here is that we are not any of these things. We only received them by Grace, by who He is.
What this means is that we are healthy because He is healthy, we are fruitful because He is fruitful, and we are prosperous because He is prosperous. And to believe that He is all He says He is, and believe that He has given us all these because His Spirit must express who He is, Who is in us, this is faith!
We now run to Him for help when we are ignorant of who He is or do not believe we are an expression of Him. This is a faith issue, nothing else.
All that He is, is one with Spirit. And it is His Spirit we have received, therefore all we are meant to do is express Him here on earth. So, the more we know Him, the more we express Him here on earth. It is nothing about us, but all about Him.
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!
