PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and Bro.
Rolly Custodio
EVEN YOU LOST ALL & ONLY FAITH REMAINS, YOU WILL RISE AGAIN!
‘Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God’ Romans
10:17 NKJ
Today’s Devotion
Imagine this: you’re born in mid-1800s Britain, in
an area where poverty is rife. Not a great start. On top of that, you can’t
read. And you’ve been picking turnips just to get by since an early age. Sad
story… But a true one.
Smith Wigglesworth is said to have seen 23 people
raised from the dead! A woman is said to have held her own cancer in her hand
after a faith-healing encounter with him. Sight was given to the sightless, the
voiceless found speech and the deaf could hear again. Crazy. Who would have
guessed that, despite his background, he’d turn out to be a hugely influential
part of God’s Kingdom? (Note: actually anyone can be used by God)
So what was Smith Wigglesworth’s secret? This
legend of a guy (look him up!) had faith that came from reading one hardback
only: the Bible. Smith learned to break through the illiteracy of his youth by
reading it. He coined the motto – ‘Fear looks; faith jumps’. He had the cheek
to take God directly by His Word – you know, living out the promises about joy,
healing, and fulfilment, that kind of stuff. Imagine if you didn’t just read
what God had to say, but truly believed it.
Application: There are
plenty of Bible reading plans out there (there’s even one in this devotional –
see Word of Hope for Today by my husband and the link just below Prayer for
Salvation) so what are you waiting for? Get stuck in and dare to take God at
His Word.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for the faith that you deposited in my life. Lord thank you for
