TEXT MARK 2:3-13
THE EXPLOITS OF FAITH.
[3]And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
[4]And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
[5]When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
[6]But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
[7]Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
[8]And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
[9]Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
[10]But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
[11]I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
[12]And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Our faith is a strong magnet that attracts the help of God to us irrespective of our gender, race and geographical location.
Faith is a currency of global convertibility.
It can be used to pay for every and anything.
It is used across all markets.
It pays for chocolates the same way it pays for a sick body.
It pays for house rent, cars and even a dead marriage.
Faith releases an aroma that makes the carrier irresistible to people who are carrying their help.
Faith is irresistable.
Faith never fails.
Those men carrying their friend had an irresistable attraction that our Lord and the whole host of Heaven could not resist.
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
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
