FOOD: BENEFITS OF BELIEVING IN GOD (Part 1)
By: Pastor Toye Ebijomore
(Founder & General Overseer)
What Does It Mean To BELIEVE?
To believe in God is more than to know about Him or agree that He exists. The devils also believe and tremble (James 2:19).
To believe means:
1. To trust in God completely – to lean on Him and not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
2. To receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour – to accept what He did for you (John 1:12).
3. To rely on His Word as true – to act as if what God said is already done (Hebrews 11:1).
4. To surrender your life to Him – to follow and obey Him daily (Romans 10:9-10).
In short, believing is trusting and receiving and acting on God.
Now, what are the benefits of this believing?
1. Salvation and The Gift of Eternal Life
John 3:16 – The believer shall not perish but have everlasting life.
2. Peace of Mind and An Untroubled Heart
John 14:1 – “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Believing calms fear and gives rest.
3. Membership of God’s Family
Acts 2:44, 47 – “All that believed were together… And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” You are no longer alone.
4. Establishment and Prosperity
2 Chronicles 20:20 – “Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.”
Eat the scroll this weekend: Believing is active trust. Keep trusting, keep receiving, keep obeying.
PRAYER
1. Lord, give me true believing faith, not just head knowledge, in Jesus name.
2. Father, let the benefits of believing manifest in my life, in Jesus name. Amen.
