Believe That He Is

By Johnson Omomadia
Do you know that so many people claim to come to God, asking for one thing or the other without receiving their desires?

The question one may ask is why is this so? After all God says He is who He says He is and would do what He says He would do. Why then do I not have my answers or miracles.  Beloved, know for a surety that God cannot lie. It is absolutely impossible for God to lie.

It is not in His nature and character. You see, even if God tries to lie He cannot. God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19).

God is a God of integrity and is always faithful. The truth and the question therefore is, how did you or how do you approach God? Did you or do you approach Him in fear, doubt, unbelief or in faith? This is what determines the kind of result that you receive from God.

The Bible says in Heb. 11:6, that “but without faith it is impossible to please Him: For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”. From this text, you can see that it takes faith to please God. What is faith? A simple definition is, faith is acting upon that which you believe. Until you act upon that which you believe you are not operating in faith. Look again at what part of the text says. “He that cometh to God must believe that He is”.

What do you believe that God is? Now I am not talking about what your pastor or a Christian brother or sister said or preached to you. I am asking you, what do you believe that God is? Is He your miracle worker, your healer, provider, etc? It is important that you catch a personal revelation for yourself. People always manifest victories in life the moment they have a revelation.

Remember in the gospels, Jesus Christ asked His disciples, who do men say that I am? While they tried to give various answers, Jesus turned and asked them who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said thou art the Christ the son of the living God.

Beloved don’t approach God as though God is a man that is limited. Know that nothing is impossible with Him. What is impossible with man is possible with God. For with God all things are possible to him that believeth. You must believe that God is everything He says and nothing less.

Not only should you believe that He is but that He is a rewarder. Your case is not hopeless because there is no hopeless situation with God and it is definitely not too late. People thought it was already late in Lazarus case, but God proved them wrong. This same God shall prove all of your enemies wrong in Jesus name, amen.

Let’s conclude by looking at two people in the bible who operated Heb. 11:6. First is the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. For twelve years this woman had being bleeding with no solution in sight. She had being to doctors but instead of getting better she grew worse.

But then she heard of Jesus being the miracle worker and she made up her mind to go to Jesus. She said to herself, if only I can but touch the helm of His garment I know that I shall be made whole. Here you can see that she believed that He is a healer and miracle worker. She had no doubt or unbelief. She had faith. Know that this woman had never had an encounter with Jesus before yet she believed and acted on what she heard. Was she rewarded? Yes. She was made whole completely. Her faith was rewarded.

The second person was the centurion who came to Jesus on behalf of his servant in Matt 8:5-13. The centurion requested that Jesus should heal his servant. Jesus accepted to go with him to his house. The centurion said to Jesus, you don’t need to go to my house just speak the word and I know that my servant shall be healed because I know that you are a man of authority.

Again you can see that this man came to Him believing that He is and that He is a rewarder. What was the result? The centurion’s servant was healed. Note that in the two cases Jesus said that their faith that they acted upon was responsible for their miracles. They both came believing that God is who He says He is and would do what He says He would do.

Believe that God is your healer, provider, refuge, strength, prosperer, deliverer, etc. Don’t permit fear, doubt and unbelief into your life. Resist them by turning to God’s word and act upon the word that will manifest your desired breakthroughs. Come to Him believing that He is. God bless you mightily.

Have you given your life to Jesus? If not, please pray this prayer. Father, I come to you as I am. I invite Jesus into my life to be my personal Lord and Saviour. Wash me cleanse with the blood of Jesus and empower me with the power of your Holy Spirit. Thank you Father for saving my soul and making me your child.
