“Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent”. John 6:29 KJV
The people that came to Jesus wanted to know what they can do in order to please God. Jesus gave them a very simple answer. “Believe on him whom he hath sent,” He said, “believe on Him,” who came to take the responsibility for what the devil put on mankind. Believe on Him who went to hell on your behalf, because you cannot go to hell and come out. Believe on Him who silenced the devil. Believe on Him who rose triumphant over death, hell and grave. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Believe on Him! That is what you should do. Believe that by His stripes you were healed. Believe that He is the one that supplies your needs according to His riches in glory. Believe that you will succeed! Believe that you are the blessed one. Believe that you are not cursed. Believe that He has redeemed you from the curse of the law. You are no more under the curse. You are now under the blessing.
The greatest deliverance is salvation! Yet, all you need to do to be saved is to believe in Jesus. Then what makes you think that you cannot believe Him for success? Salvation came to you by believing. Likewise, your promotion, business breakthrough, open doors and healing will also come by believing. Don’t doubt it!
The challenge with human beings is that the grace message is so simple: God is only asking you to believe in Him, but we prefer to do. We want to deserve his blessing, but you cannot deserve it; it is absolutely impossible. When you became a Christian, He gave you His best – He gave you the Holy Ghost. You are dangerously loaded! You are strong and mighty! And you are full of power. Just believe and you shall see the manifestation.
