If you have been praying without getting the desired answers, read this.
In the book of Matthew 17:14-20, we see the disciples of Christ doing all they could to cast out a demon but to no avail. In their own understanding, they had all the faith, but the case was just too strong.
“This is an impossible case,” they thought. However, when Christ Himself, who truly had faith, came onto the scene, cast out the demon and healed the sick boy lickety split, they were unsettled and couldn’t hide their embarrassment again.
Therefore, they came to Christ, enquiring why they had faith—as they thought—but couldn’t cast out the demon while Jesus Himself did cast out the demons by the same faith.
“You didn’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” (Matthew 17:20).
This reply given to them by Jesus shocked them to the marrow because, in their thinking, they were full of faith.
This is not an isolated case! Even among God’s children today, it is common to hear such things as I have done this; I have done that in order to get rid of this situation, yet it refused to go. In other words, they are trying to say, “I have all the faith, but my situation has proved too strong.”
If you are one of those who think or speak like that, may I announce to you that it isn’t the hardness of your situation that has kept it with you but your lack of true faith in God (Yes, there are cases of appointments where God uses some circumstances in the life of His faithful to achieve His purpose. However generally when unpalatable situation persists in the life of God’s children, its always traceable to lack of true faith)
Now the question I expect you to ask is, if all I have done about my situation isn’t a demonstration of faith, what should I do when I have faith?
That and other questions on faith I have, by the help of the Holy Ghost, answered in my book, “WHEN YOU HAVE FAITH. In this Holy-Ghost-inspired write-up, you will learn how to go beyond merely believing in God to firmly trusting Him in such a manner that will deliver all the results you are expecting of Him
Good Luck.
