“Jesus said to them, how unbelieving you people are; how long must I stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy to me. They brought him to Jesus. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, it threw the boy into a fit, so that he fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. How long has he been like this? Jesus asked the father. Ever since he was a child, he replied. Many times the evil spirit has tried to kill him by throwing him in the fire and into water. Have pity on us and help us, if you possibly can. Yes, said Jesus, if you yourself can, everything is possible for the person who has faith.” Mark 9:19-23

It takes real faith to believe and remain in Christ Jesus these days; it requires faith to continue in His word and follow in His ways in uncertain and trial times; when things are tough, when the people we know cannot be trusted, when relatives and friends and parents and colleagues are not in the same with you; when abuse and unrelenting insults are the order of the day. When dreams we sometimes in the past considered true is fading fast and when in the heat of day our very best is turning to our night mere. We need faith in Christ and we need to grow in that faith and keep it burning in our minds and reminding ourselves every day that when all things fail, the word of God for us will never fail; when all men depart, Christ Jesus will never depart; when issues do not favor us, the word of God will vindicate us and when the words of men do not comfort us, the word of God and His promises are guaranteed to give us comfort beyond all things else.

Despite the times, the days, the months, the years, and the seasons we are in, faith in the word of God will definitely yield guaranteed results. Having faith in men will not do us any good, having faith in the system will not bring us to the point and place we want to be, but putting our faith in Christ Jesus and in the words of His promises will definitely guarantee our future, our blessings, our joy and our celebration of His goodness. Putting one's faith in Jesus Christ guarantees we will have His attention and we will have His response. Faith in Him was what Jesus demanded from the father of the boy with the palsy, and when the father did, he saw the blessing of God, he saw the healing of his son and he praised the living God. Faith Christ Jesus works better than faith in anything else we know and see today. If you have a need today for anything, put your confidence and faith in Christ Jesus, not in the amount of your faith, He can reward even the tiniest amount of trust, not in the system and definitely not in the promises of men despite their wealth, power, office and location. Faith in Christ Jesus guarantees results.

We agree that things are tough, but the word of God is a guarantee for now, and for the future, we hope and pray for. There is a guarantee in every word of God, in every promise He gives, and in every revelation, He opens our eyes and senses to have. There is a guarantee in every opportunity He brings through His word and our faith even when we do not have confidence in ourselves and the result we expect to have. After Peter had spent the night without any success and frustrated, Jesus came by and took away his frustration through His word. “When he finished speaking, He said to Simon, push the boat out further to the deep water, and let down your nets for a catch. Master, Simon answered, we worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I will let down the nets. They let them down and caught such a large number of fish that the nets were about to break. So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats so full of fish that the boats were about to sink.” Luke 5:4-7. This did happen because Peter had an idea, it happened because Jesus Christ said it and Peter acted in faith. By acting on faith in Christ Jesus Peter’s success despite his previous night of failure was guaranteed. What wonder awaits you today because God's word is guaranteed to be fulfilled? Peter had his joy and confidence instantly restored because He obeyed and followed the commands of Jesus Christ at that moment. For prayers, Click here
