TOPIC : THE RELIABILITY OF FAITH
(Special edition)
TEXT: MATTHEW 15:22-28
[22]And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
[23]But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
[24]But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[25]Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
[26]But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
[27]And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
[28]Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
This woman would have lost her miracle, her sick daughter who was healed by Jesus if she had accepted the initial rejection.
When our Lord said that what she sought for was for the children not for dogs.
She said to the Lord, you are right but the dogs can be given the crumbs.
Refuse to take no for an answer, insist on your right as a child of God.
Faith never returns with a no in it's shopping bag.
It's your time for a miracle, in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
