Nothing Is Impossible To Him That Believe.

Nothing Is Impossible To Him That Believe.

By

Evangelist. Ilona Henry Afamefuna

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful and others are down-earh failures? This question has troubled great minds for the past centuries, people of different background have come with one answer or the other, but their opinions and answers are contradictory.
I want to use this opportunity to explore some certain aspects of Jesus teaching on how to be successful, & what success is all about.

Jesus answered, "Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, 'Go, fall into the sea.' And if you have no doubts in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, God will do it for you. So I tell you to believe that you have received the things you ask for in prayer, and God will give them to you. When you are praying, if you are angry with someone, forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your sins. But if you don't forgive other people, then your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins. Mark 11:22-26 (New Century Version)

Please I want you to notice Jesus words, (have faith) success comes from first of all believing in the ability of things be done even when those things are contrary to natural laws, a person who wants to succeed in life must learn how to live by the supernatural, I know that this would sound so rhetoric to some people, but the reality is that natural laws do not give or permit success to occur under normal circumstances.

Man is limited by natural phenomenoms that he is so tied down to do nothing beyond his natural ability, that is to say man is limited if measured by natural laws.

When Jesus says "have faith in God", what does he mean, is he just trying to thrill his listeners, or is he passing a down to earth message to them that would carry on for every generation?

I have not seen any man who overcame under normal circumstances, things do not happen in reality as they seem to look. Theories are not an end itself, it's just collections of ideas, and some times theories contradict themselves, theories are nothing but fools' loads of nonesensical nonesense.

Having faith means living a practical life of believe and action even when things seem so impossible in one's situations. Faith is not just believing, it is practical in essence, it is believing the promises of God and applying those biblical principles that are mostly ignored by Christians of today. Faith is a deeper conviction that whatsoever you ask or speak would be accorded you in accordance with scriptural principles. When you pray, have faith in God, when you are speaking (i.e. prophesying to your life, conditions, circumstances, problmes & diificulties), have faith in God, when you are vying for a greater position in life, have faith in God, when everyone else has disappointed you, have faith in God, when you are applying for job opportunities, have faith in God, when you are been accused innocently, have faith in God, when debts are trying to claim your life, have faith in God, the list can go on and on, my dear have faith in God, and remember, He never disappoints.

Another thing Jesus highlights is "FORGIVENESS", please pay attention to these, so many people have lost great and precious opportunities because of their refusal to forgive and let go.
Unforgiveness is a devouring monster, that if not dealth with, would claim an entire generation, family, people, community, etc. Forgiveness, is simply letting go off the past, shacking off the shackles of the present, and facing the future with joy and gratitude. When a person refuses to forgive and let go, he is holding his victim in the chains of prison, and at the same time destroying himself. Do you get the message? There is no way an over loaded ship can sail safely in a tumutous and temptous sea, that ship would sink and everyone and everything in it would die and perish, so is anyone not willing to forgive and let go. One of the most important ingredients needed in success is forgiveness, do you know why, I will tell you? The person you refuse to forgive today, may be in the position of aiding you tomorrow, life is full of mysteries, be cautious.

The refusal on your part to forgive, equals to God's own refusal on His part to forgive you, so who is really loosing, you or your victim? Forgiveness brings an unprescedent open doors, opportunities and sweet fellowship, quick answers to prayers, etc.

In fact your faith can move mountains, but if there is no forgiveness in your heart, your faith is useless. Forgiveness does not imply coming together again, it simply means letting go off the past and be at peace with yourself, simple.

And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes! Mark 9:23 (Amplified Bible)

Please, notice that is to him who believes, it is not unto him the does self pity himself that all things are possible, when you are praying; believe, have faith and forgive, surely, God would grant you your heart desire and give you everything good in fullness.
God bless you.
