“Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
- John 11:25-26

“When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:32 [emphasis added]. Mary and Martha’s responses show us that the Jesus they know is the Jesus that can heal the sick. And sometimes, God allows us to go through situations that would make us perplexed, just to show us that He is still the same Jesus, that can not only heal the sick but can raise the dead.

Jesus was teaching us through this story, that He is not only able to prevent death by healing, He is able to reverse death by resurrection. Some of us are going through a challenge and all you have been saying to God is, Lord why me? God wants to use you to show the world how He can do the impossible. Do I get an Amen?

Jesus was explaining to Martha that her brother was going to come back to life. And Martha said, I know he is going to come back to life when everybody else rises up from the dead. Jesus said, you are correct to say he would resurrect at the end of the day. It is My Power that will resurrect him at the end of the day but I am here with you now. I am the same yesterday, today and forever. Understand this, I am the Resurrection and the Life. I am the One that will resurrect him then and I am the One that will resurrect him now!

“Everyone who believes in Me after dying will come back to life. And He says to Martha, do you believe this? And she says, I have always believed that you are the Messiah, the Son of God… Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” John 11:26-27,40 [emphasis added]. Martha says to Jesus I believe you, Jesus says to Martha, if only you believe. Was Martha lying? No! Was Jesus not getting Martha? No! So what was going on? Martha believed in the Person of Jesus. But Jesus was saying, beyond believing in My Person, I need you to believe in My Power. It is one thing to believe in the Person of Jesus, it is another thing entirely to believe in the Power of Jesus.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to believe in Your Person and in Your Power. Help me understand that You are able to do now what You did before and even what I have never seen, heard, or imagined, in Jesus Name.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
