Topic: WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS WHAT WILL MANIFEST – Bishop Mike Okonkwo Devotional 18 December 2019 [The Redeemed Evangelical Mission]

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
Isaiah 53:1 NKJV

Today, I have come to ask you: whose report do you believe? Do you believe you are who God says you are? Do you believe that His promises are yours? Or, do you believe what situations and challenges are saying to you? It does not require faith to believe defeat, failure, and lack. You do not need faith to be afraid because they are more often in line with your experience. However, faith is required to believe God for victory. You need faith to believe God for your healing and for your provisions. The Bible says, the just shall live by faith. And faith pleases God.

Beloved, whatever you believe is what will manifest. So, if you want to know what you believe, check your life, and find out what is manifesting. Our text above tells us clearly what it takes for the arm of the Lord to be revealed. Believe the report of the Lord! You cannot go on believing wrongly and expect good things to be made manifest. No! It does not work that way!

I know there may be difficulties and challenges facing you, but in the midst of these, you must hold on to what God’s Word says. Even in the face of contradictory evidence, you are who God says you are. You have what He says you have; and you can do what He says you can do. Your part is not to know how it will happen, your part is to believe what He says, and He will figure out how to bring it to pass.

According to the book of Luke 1:38: Mary said, ‘I don’t know how this would happen, but be it unto me, according to your Word.’ What are you going to believe and what are you going to say about the days ahead of you? Do not forget that you will have what you say! And it is what you believe that will manifest in your life! I urge you, therefore, not to believe the lies of the devil.
