31st December, 2015 (Thursday) - WORDS OF LIFE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY
(Scripture) :- Mark 11:24, KJV. " Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
(The Word) :- Good morning Beloved. Welcome to the last day in the year 2015.
As believers, we enjoy many benefits from God including the supply of all our needs according to his riches in glory (Phil. 4:19). However, our God is a business man. As a matter of fact, He's the first and greatest business man ever. He understands perfectly well the concept of terms and conditions.
There are terms and conditions to every supply from God's store house and these terms and conditions are well spelt out in the Bible. For instance, the ground was cursed for the sake of man (Gen. 3:17) but to eat the good of the land, you must be willing and obedient (Isa. 1:19); to receive mercy from God, you should not just show mercy but also love mercy (Micah 6:8).
To be rich and wealthy, you must remember the Lord your God and shun idolatry (Deut. 8:18). To be whole in your body and not be sick, you must serve Him and be completely obedient (Exo.23:25; 15:26), to receive blessings beyond your imagination, you must pay your tithes (Mal. 3:8-10). Even to be saved, God understands that the person involved must be willing and ready. He won't just force Himself into the person's heart (Rev. 3:20) and so on.
Other times, when we make requests from God, particularly for a miracle that only God than do, the term and condition that applies is that we have faith, just like we see in our anchor scripture. Faith is our currency of exchange in the spirit realm. There are times when all that God needs from us is our faith for us to receive our miracles.
As long as you understand the terms and conditions, agree to them and you meet them, God will always fulfil His part of the deal. #SELAH
