YOU RECEIVE, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD

YOU RECEIVE, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD

Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Salvation is purely by grace through faith. No one received salvation because that fellow was good enough for salvation. In fact, salvation is not for those who are good but undeserving sinners.

Even as believers in Christ, we don’t receive from God because we are good; we receive from the Lord because the Lord is good and also because of your faith in God. God’s goodness abounds everywhere and He lavishly pours it upon us.

If you study the scriptures very well you will realise that those who came to Jesus and received their miracles were not people you will count as righteous people. Some were even sinners of the Gentiles like the Syro-phoenician woman who Jesus said she had great faith. The other fellow that Jesus said he had great faith was also a Roman centurion, a Gentile. These people were not conscious of where they were falling short; they simply believed and got their miracles.

Your focus should never be how good you are when you want to receive anything from God. Don’t let satan deceive you that because of some wrong in your life you cannot receive your miracle; that’s deception. God blesses you because of His goodness.

Sometimes when people come forward to receive the Holy Ghost and you see some of them speaking tongues, by human standards, some religious folks will say, how can this fellow be speaking in tongues? In their minds they are not good enough to receive. I believe this kind of thinking is one of the greatest hindrances to receiving from the Lord.

To receive from God, look to God’s mercy and grace and receive your miracle by faith. God’s focus has always been faith and a willingness to receive. All these list of qualifications to receive from God are just hindrances to the flow of God’s power. Open your heart and receive whatever you desire from the Lord.
