Wisdom For The Day Devotional 19 September 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo | Lay Hold On Faith
TOPIC: Lay Hold On Faith (TREM Devotional 19 September 2024)
“But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.” – Matthew 9:22 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
The woman with the issue of blood saw grace and decided to take her healing despite her condition and the limitations that the law placed against her. According to the law, she was not supposed to be found amongst people because the law regarded her as unclean and unworthy. But when grace appeared, her faith was awakened. “…. She said to herself, if only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well” (Matthew 9:21 KJV). While the crowd gathered and pushed in excitement, she saw beyond the excitement. She saw grace manifested and believed in the healing that this grace had provided. She believed all she had to do was contact Grace, and she would be made whole.
Beloved, everything you need to prosper is already available to you. But you must lay hold on it by faith for it to manifest. Receive by faith the prosperity that is already assured you in Christ. Your business has no choice but to respond to the word. As a student, failure is not an option. So, having studied and prepared, approach that examination believing that God has already made you the head, not the tail, above and not beneath; you will succeed because grace has made it available.
Refuse every lie of the enemy. Remember that he is your adversary and not your adviser. When he tries to tell you that you’re not qualified to partake of the riches of grace, remind him that God justifies the ungodly; therefore, you are qualified. Christ has paid for it all. Your part is to take it! I know this is the part a lot of people struggle with. But if you understand this well, you will put the enemy on the run. I declare that your work will grow from glory to glory. Nothing will hinder you in any way.
