GIVE ME ANSWERS DEAR LORD (9)

Post date: Mar 12, 2020 11:33:44 PM

Whatever is impossible with men irrespective of their wealth and position is not impossible with God; what is confusing to men is not confusing to God, and what men cannot do, God will do because of His love, kindness, and unrelenting faithfulness, for even the dogs eat crumbs hat falls from their owner table, they are not forgotten or abandoned. The mercies of our Lord Jesus changes situations, changes things, and changes people. It enables the weak beyond their weaknesses and the poor beyond their lacks; it lifts people up to heights never imagined and from every pit, every fall, destruction, loneliness, rejection, and fears; the Lord’s mercies take away sorrows and sadness from the heart and the mind; it restores joy, hope, and strength, it brings total healing, restoration that makes one whole and complete. The Lord’s mercies bring us the best we can ever think of forgiveness, restoration, and grace to recover that which had been lost, that which had been forcefully taken or stolen and that which we have been deprived of. For the Lord’s mercies to be effective which is always, we will need faith to stand up and ask, patience to pray, walk, and talk with Him; humility to endure till we receive, and ability to wait without giving up hope despite delays and frustrations, and abuse from unfriendly people. John the Baptist gave us this hope when he replied those who ask him questions; “John replied, a man can receive nothing, he can claim nothing at all unless it has been granted to him from heaven, for there is no other source than the sovereign will of God.” John 3:27.

God is willing to heal us, He is willing to take away diseases and He is able to give us comfort and strength even in this ongoing pandemic. Let us call on our God for healing, for health, for preservation, for resources, for help, for direction, and for eradication. He can and He will do it when we call on Him.

“After leaving there, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that district came out and began to cry out urgently, saying, have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David, my daughter is cruelly possessed by a demon. But He did not say a word in answer to her. And His disciples came and asked Him repeatedly, send her away because she keeps shouting out after us. He answered, I was commissioned by God and sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But she came and began to kneel down before Him, saying, Lord, help me. And He replied it is not good, appropriate, fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the pet dogs. She said, yes Lord, but even the pet dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table. Then Jesus answered her, woman, your faith, your personal trust and confidence in My power is great, it will be done for you as you have wished. And her daughter was healed from that moment.” Matthew 15:21-28. This woman went to Jesus with a wish but we go to Him with a demand knowing we are His, He is able, and He is Lord over our lives and will not refuse us.

This woman did not seek for the meaning of what Christ said, all she needed was healing for her daughter, she was not concerned with what Jesus disciples said, all she wanted was her daughter being healed and with patience, she received a favorable answer, she saw her daughter healed and her health restored, she received joy, strength and a gone reason to go back home. You will not be refused, you will not return empty-handed. Israel did not leave Egypt empty-handed despite being slaves and servants. God made a way for them, gave them favor and took them out by His power, He will do the same for us. “If you will diligently listen and pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and listen to His commandments, and keep all His precepts and statutes, then I will not put on you any of the diseases which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:26. His promises and words to the children of Israel came to pass, they are still effective today to all true believers and followers of Jesus Christ. He will answer you. For prayers, Click here
