Many people confess their faith in God but truly speaking, they never see the greatness of God in their life. Why? Does God have pleasure in seeing His people begging for a blessing? Absolutely not! However for God to bless someone, he has to add works to his faith. The Bible says: “But someone will say,“You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”
(James 2:18)
People who do not practice what they believe have a dead faith. “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
(James 2:26)
Their faith is only theory; only words. That’s why the promise of God never leaves the pages of the Bible to happen in their life. Their faith is only theory. Thus, this is the reason why we see Christians exposing lots of Bible knowledge but not taking the full advantage of what they believe; they live the opposite of what they preach.
God gave to Moses a revelation about the promised land: “For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land, which He has given you.”
(Deuteronomy 8:7-10)
That’s it! How many people believe in this promise, believe this is the word of God and even preach about it to others, but do not experience it at all! The God who took the Israelites out of their slavery is the same today and He wants to take you out of your frustration to a blessed life; to a land where bread will not be scarce, your prosperity will not end, a life where your family will be blessed, with no divorce, no drugs, no misunderstanding, etc… |
“…a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing…” This promise is available to those who believe and are willing to put their faith in action, to believe without any reservation or shadow of doubts, to those who are ready to sacrifice what they are in exchange of what they want to be!
Dear reader, your decision will determine your way of life. To succeed or to fail is in your hand. Neither God nor Satan will decide your future but your choices will. Indeed God is willing to bless all those who are in suffering and distress, but if the person is not ready to listen and practice his faith, what can God do besides wait for the person to act his faith?
“…When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land, which He has given you…” May God’s revelation open your eyes so you can have true reasons to glorify God, having a life without depression, sadness, loneliness, failures, etc…
God spoke to Moses and gave him a revelation of a blessed life, not only for him but also to his family and his people: the Israelites. God wants to give you a revelation that will change your life, your family and your future.
God bless you.
