GOD IS WILLING

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 8:3

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Additional Verses

📖 Isaiah 59:1-18; Matthew 8:1-17; Hebrews 11:1-6

Did you know that God is always willing to grant you your prayer request as long as you come to Him in faith? When a leper came to Jesus Christ and worshipped Him, saying, “LORD, if You are willing, You can make me clean,” Jesus Christ saw his faith and immediately put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” His leprosy immediately left him. Many people today when they come to God, they do not do so in faith and hence this is the reason why their prayer requests seem to hit on a brick wall. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and is a rewarder of the that diligently seek him.” The leper talked what he believed and this is what Jesus Christ saw and responded to. The encounter of Jesus Christ with the Centurion whose servant was lying home paralyzed and dreadfully tormented, teaches us of great faith in God. The Centurion spoke out what he believed and this is what Jesus Christ saw and immediately responded saying to him, “I will come and heal him.” (Matthew 8:7). The faith of the centurion was further revealed when he said this to Jesus Christ: “LORD, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant ‘Do this,’ and he does it.’ (Matthew 8:8-9). Such words of faith amazed Jesus Christ and without necessarily going to the Centurion’s house, He just spoke a word and the servant of the Centurion was healed that same hour. So I am saying to you, whatever you may be praying for, learn from the faith of the leper and the Centurion and pray to God to give you the faith to receive from Him. Isaiah 59:1-2 says, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear, but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Remember God is more than willing to respond to your prayer and bless you just as He blessed the leper and the Centurion and many others in the Holy Bible. If you have faith in God and His Word, surely He is willing to save you. Isaiah 65:24 says, “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, l will answer; and while they are yet speaking, l will hear.” So as a child of God who believes and trust in God, surely God is ready and willing to attend to you. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You Father for reminding me that it is not possible to please You without faith. May You therefore grant me the faith to receive whenever I come to You in prayer. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.
