Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 29 Aug 2008

Taking ownership- Mountain moving faith! Matthew 17:19-20 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” As I write today’s word of encouragement, I sense that many of us need to reignite the fire and zeal in our hearts again. To have mountain moving faith. I sense weariness, spiritual drought, and spiritual routines that have killed our passion to die to our cross daily. Today, God wants to revive us, let us take ownership of what God wants to do in us all. In order to attain mountain moving faith, we must first take ownership of what God has given us. (1) Declare His promises over us. (2 Kings 4:1-7) Just as Elisha told the widow to find as many jars as can, fill them and sell them. We never stop declaring His promises. (2) Claim it all, and receive God’s promises. I am remembered of the King who struck the ground JUST three times ONLY!! (2 Kings 13:18). Common!!!! Are we going to stop claiming God promises for us just three times. Let us have faith! Mountain moving faith that never stops striking the ground because we want all, ALL OF GOD’S PROMOSES OVER OUR LIVES. (3) Give thanks and glory to God always! When God blesses us, even with the smallest things in our eyes, we always give thanks to God. When we stop giving thanks to God and giving glory to God, we are doomed for failure and destruction just like King Saul, just like King Solomon, just like many men and women who have gone before us. HEBREWS 10:39 BUT WE ARE NOT THOSE WHO SHRINK BACK AND ARE DESTROYED, BUT OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND ARE SAVED. © Aug 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
