THE MISSING INGREDIENT

“For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”

HEBREWS 4:2 (KJV)

The profit the word of God brings is the divine life that God had foreordained for us to partake of. The promises in scripture were given to us so we could experience this divine life. This life can only be experienced when we believe the promises of God. This is the point where we miss out of God’s blessings.

There is a divine expectation for your finances, your marriage, your moral conduct, and life-purpose. Whenever the word of God comes to us, it comes with the reality of the life that God has ordained for us, and the appropriate response to the presence of the word is to believe it.

To believe is to accept as true; it is to be confident about something. The answer to our earnest prayers is the word of God. How do I mean? Scripture says that God spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things. Hallelujah! Jesus is the word of God: and so God uses the word to give us all that we desire. Believing activates the word to fulfil itself.

This is the reason Jesus said that when you pray believe that you receive it and you shall have it. It means that the point of praying is the point of receiving answer to prayer. This is further proved by the use of the word “believe.” Words are what we believe; therefore, our act of believing God’s word will grant us the experience that it talks about.

Our opening scripture tells us that the word did not profit them because they didn’t believe in it. When you doubt God it declares that God is incapable of doing what he talks about. Remember that there is a waiting period to the manifestation of God’s word to you; therefore, begin at once to believe God’s word for your future so that its manifestation will coincide with your expected time for its manifestation. Allow the word of God profit you as you believe in it, for faithful is he that has promised and he will perform.

PRAYER

Dear Father I thank you for your words that are available to me through the scripture. I declare my belief in your word and patiently wait for its manifestation in Jesus’ name. Amen
