It often amazes me how some people are quick to say they don’t know God’s will while at the same time they demonstrate a desire for good things. It’s very clear from Philippians 2:13 that the desire in you for good things is a reflection of God’s desire, and His will for you to have a good life. That shouldn’t be a surprise to you because no good father will watch his children suffer through life.
Check out the Lord Jesus’ encounter with a leper in Luke 5:12-13. The leper said to Jesus, “...Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean” (Luke 5:12). Notice that he didn’t question Jesus’ power or ability to heal him, just His willingness to heal him. In other words, he knew Jesus could, but didn’t know if He would. That’s the mindset of many today. “I don’t know if it’s God’s will to heal me,” they’ll say, and then run to the doctor for help. If it’s not God’s will to heal, one shouldn’t go to the doctor to get healed, otherwise he or she would be committing a sin, since they’d be trying to get something that’s not God’s will for them to have, isn’t it?
Realise that He’s more willing and ambitious to help you than you could ever be willing to receive His help. You couldn’t be better than God in taking care of your need. God loves you, and He’s more passionate and concerned about your success and prosperity in life than you could ever be.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your willingness to provide for me more than I can ever dream or imagine. As I walk in the knowledge of your Word today, I experience success, prosperity and divine health, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
