Matthew 16-19
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:17-19
Dear Jesus, thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead a soul to Christ this week. I ought to praise Thee in everything that happens in my life but so often I am looking at other things. Lord, thank You for Thy salvation and that the gates of hell shall never prevail against the church. Help me to tell others and to have a passion burning within me to see the lost come to Thee.
“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:20-21
Dear God, this passage shows the how the faith of every one of Thy children is so small. Lord, my faith in Thee and in Thy promises is often much less than it ought simply because I do not stay rooted in Thy word. Truth cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Lord, the same word that gives faith for salvation, is the same word that gives faith to live for Thee daily. Help me to stay by Thy side and to stay in Thy word.
