OVERRIDING DOUBTS – Monday May 1st 2017
Memorise:
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out
of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Isaiah 43:13
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Bible in one year: Numbers 30-31, Jeremiah 23:23-40, Hymn: Sing hymn 1
MESSAGE:
God
can make you laugh when He decides to overrule your doubts. Going by
the standard set in today’s Bible reading, if you are double minded over
an issue you brought before God, you should not expect anything from
Him. However, if you doubted God in a given situation and He overlooks
your doubt and grants your petition, know for sure He is doing it solely
because of His grace. In Genesis 18:9-15,
when God visited Abraham and said his wife Sarah was going to have a
baby in nine months’ time, she laughed. She could not believe that she
could ever be pregnant at age 90. Open Heavens Devotional 2017. She
laughed because she had never seen such a thing happen before. Are you
laughing over God’s promises and declarations over your life? Are you
laughing because you have never seen anyone who experienced that kind of
miracle? Stop your laugh of doubt and believe God today! Why? If there
is no precedent to follow, God can make yours the precedence that others
would refer to.
A
life of faith is so important to God that four different times in the
Bible, He repeatedly said “The just shall live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38).
However, as a manifestation of His sovereignty, He also says that
whenever He makes up His mind to do something, nobody and nothing can
hinder Him – not even your doubts (Isaiah 43:13).
I pray that every good plan and purpose of God for your life shall be
established in spite of your doubts in Jesus’ Name! Open Heavens 2017
Monday 1 May 2017:-Overriding Doubts. We see this truth demonstrated in 2nd Kings 4:8-17.
When Elisha declared to the Shunammite woman that she would have a son
after nine months, she replied, “Man of God, please don’t deceive me.”
This meant that she did not believe him. Although Elisha did not say
anything after that, God had already spoken, and so the matter was
settled. She thereafter had her baby in accordance to Elisha’s
declaration. This season, God will overrule your doubts and give you
that expected miracle! There are some people who believe God’s promise
for a little while and then fall into doubt again. Over the years, they
have continuously swung back and forth between faith and doubt and so
have not been able to receive God’s promise. This season, by the mercy
of the Most High God, the Lord will override your doubts and make the
impossible possible in your life in Jesus’ Name. God’s mercy will show
up for you today! Your laughing season starts now.
Prayer Point
Father, in Your mercy, override my doubts and every stumbling block on my way, and cause my laughter to begin today.
