This nobleman in John chapter four had a son who was sick to the point of death, and he went looking for Jesus because he had heard of Him.
What do you think he heard about Jesus? He must have heard that Jesus was a healer! That produced faith in him, because ‘faith comes by hearing’ (Romans 10: 17). The Bible says, Jesus spoke the Word to him, and the man believed! It pays to believe the Word of God. This is so important! In your life, always learn to receive the Word of God with a believing heart. The noble man simply trusted the words of Jesus; he didn’t mind the fact that Jesus wouldn’t bother to go with him to pray and lay hands on his dying son. For him, the Word of faith settled the matter. God’s power is in His Word!
Put your trust in the Word of God like that noble man. Receive the Word of faith from the Master concerning the situations of your life, and rest assured that the Word would turn your situation around for good. You see, believing is so important! It took the Word of faith spoken by Jesus to heal the noble man’s son, but then the Bible says the noble man believed! Unbelief is the greatest thief of God’s blessings; never permit it in your life.
