ACTING IN GRACE

JOHN 4:45-55

Hi, Dear Child of The Mighty God in The Highest Heaven. We salute you. Welcome to The Stable Sanctuary: a House for your Spiritual nourishment. The Holy Bible text outlined above is an episode set in Cana of Galilee. Here, we find Jesus Christ acting in Grace and power of The Holy Spirit following a good reception he had been accorded by the precious people of Galilee. They really loved to see Jesus Christ. Likewise , you and I need to develop a cordial relationship with Jesus Christ. He shall dearly love to abide in us; directing our daily life activities. His high desire is to enable us to succeed, in whatever we do that is in line with God’s word. Check Deuteronomy 8:18…” For it is He who gives you power to get wealth….” Prosperity is accessed due to God’s intelligence and power.

A DESPERATE NOBLE MAN

Verse 46 states that there was a noble man whose son was sick in Capernaum. The man was a high ranking official in Herods administration. Jesus fame had spread widely. So the noble man came to see Jesus Christ to help restore his son’s health as he was at the point of death. Verse  49 shows the desperation in the noble man’s mind . Jesus Christ could easily read the noble man’s psychology: Great desperation. In verse 50, Christ tells him,” Go your way; your son lives” In our desperate moments, Jesus Christ bears FAITH on our behalf so as to alleviate our suffering. He is not pleased to see us suffering due to unbelief on our part. He cares for us. Luckily, the man believed what Jesus Said to Him.

 GREAT FAITH

  A combination of verse 50 and 51 illustrate what great Faith may comprise. Here, we find The Spoken word of Jesus Christ, the noble man’s response and the report the noble man is given by his servants who came to meet him before he reached home. The noble man’s servant told him ,” Your son lives”  These are the very words that Jesus had used. From this, we realize that faith comes by hearing the word of God. We need to access God’s word daily for it alone constitutes our daily bread; and without it everything else becomes of little or no value. God’s word is our life

REWARD OF FAITH

Now check verse 52 and 53 . Wonderful. The noble man put the times together, mathematically, when Jesus had spoken the word and when the boy was healed. It brings him to the exact time that Jesus had spoken to him. All this implies that his faith however weak it was previously was wonderfully rewarded.Yeah , believing in Jesus Christ brings much rewards. Many people have believed in God and they have been rewarded with great generational blessings . Check Hebrews chapter 11 for proof of this.

CONCLUSION

  Precious child of The Mighty God of The Universe, kindly note that Jesus Christ always acts in grace and power of The Holy Spirit to attend to our needs. He grants success and prosperity. In our desperate moments, Christ is there for us. He is always ready to serve exhuberantly. Access to God’s word instills faith, that is necessary for us to receive God’s help in time of need. There are innumerable great rewards of faith. Believing in God through Jesus Christ is the zenith of every spiritual and material blessing. Hebrews 11:6 states , “…..for he who comes to God must believe that He is….a rewarder of them who diligently seek him.” Hence seek God… seek Christ crucified. He leads, we follow Him because He died to set us free.
