LOOKING UNTO JESUS

January 27, 2024 • Dr Zubeda Sing, Pastor Zubeda Sing

Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. When Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew14v27

Peter was the only disciple who dared ask Jesus to call him to walk on water with him. You may judge Peter and say, well it did not last very long. Yes, Jesus rebuked him and said, oh you of little faith. Peter threw caution to the wind “pun on the word wind, because it was very boisterous at the time” but nevertheless he was willing. What Peter failed to do was keep his eyes on Jesus. The sound and sight of the storm was what his natural mind could comprehend, at this point his faith was not strong enough to sustain the request he had made. I still say, he must have got at least 5 to 10 minutes of standing on the storm that was tormenting them at the time. Three cheers to Peter. He tried.

We give up even before we try. Our minds are so conditioned to the things of the world and our brain is so used to reasoning things out, that we rule out the possibilities of faith. Yes, with man this is impossible but with God, all things are possible. We must at least try, even if we fail, we get up again and try again. All we have to do, is keep our eyes on Jesus and the word in the spirit of our mind. We will surely succeed. God is with us strong.

CONFESSION/PRAYER

The sound of the wind and the storm seems very loud, but the promise of God is even louder. My eyes may see the storm, but when I lift my eyes, I see the creator of all things and he is able to still the storm for me. Jesus, you are the author and the finisher of my faith so I look to you and like Peter I choose to ask you to help me walk on water.

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Luke 6v38 There is a universal law of divine reciprocity (the practice of exchanging things). You give and God gives in return. When you plant a seed, the ground yields a harvest. Even in your relationships. The ground can only give to you, what you give to the ground. When you put money in the bank, the bank gives you interest. That is reciprocity. However, many people want something for nothing when it comes to the things of God, even though they know that is not how it works in the world system. Yet we are always expecting God to send us something when we have not invested anything into the kingdom of God. If you are not investing your time, talent, commitment and your money, why do you want something in return? How can you expect God to honour your desire when you have not honoured him in obeying his command. Abundance begins with investment. God expects you to receive a harvest from your giving. Our giving is no longer a debt we owe, but a seed that we sow. The life and power source is from our heavenly Father. Ours is simply an act on the power potential in the seed life that we sow. Giving and receiving belong together. Only when we give are we in a position to expect to reach out and receive a harvest. CONFESSION/PRAYER I am a cheerful, bonafide giver. I give and I know that my Father will give back to me, pressed down, shaken together and running over. I invest my time, talent and commitment into the house of God and I know God will reward me with sufficient time and resources to fulfill all of my requests and desires. My seed has power to yield an abundant harvest. As much as I am a giver, I am a receiver too.

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Luke 6v38 Jesus calls us to give and it will be given back to us. Financial obstacles tempt us to give up, but instead God’s word calls for us to give away. True ministry always involves us coming to terms with our human tendency to clutch things to ourselves, especially material belongings. When you give of your money, you are really giving of yourself, as the scripture says, where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. So, we are called to give, not because God does not have, but to test our hearts and where our treasure really lies. When we give, we allow God to open the heavenly realm to sow into the earthly realm through us. Give of your abundance and also give in your time of need. Giving is really seed planting, a seed is only one, however when I plant a seed it yields a harvest which is much more than my one seed. So, choose to sow today. Its only money, you have power over money. CONFESSION/PRAYER I have all power and authority given to me by Jesus to overcome lack and insufficiency. I have the victory over insufficiency and lack, I have victory over lack. My seed is anointed to destroy yokes and lift burdens. I speak to the mountain of lack and it comes down now. Even if I fail or fall, I come back stronger in the name of Jesus.

As the Aramean army advanced toward him, Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please make them blind.” So the LORD struck them with blindness as Elisha had asked. Then Elisha went out and told them, “You have come the wrong way! This isn’t the right city! Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to the city of Samaria. As soon as they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, “O LORD, now open their eyes and let them see.” So the LORD opened their eyes, and they discovered that they were in the middle of Samaria. 2 kings 6v18 What an honour and a privilege to have the Father on your side. What an honour to be given the gift of faith like Elisha. He asked God to blind the eyes of the enemy and then he goes further and gives them directions in the opposite way. Not only that, after they were lost, he then asks God to open up their eyes to see that they were completely lost. Elisha was a prophet in the Old Testament who did not have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of him. You and I have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us and we have power in our tongue to speak a thing and it will be established. If we ask God to close the eyes of our enemy, will he not do so as he did for Elisha. I have done this many times and have experienced victory after victory. Especially if you apply for a job or a loan or whatever, you need to ask the Lord to blind their eyes to what they should not see and open their eyes to what they should see. Send the angels to take the right information to them so you enjoy the favour of God. You have the right and the privilege to ask, go ahead and ask, why should you be anxious and afraid of the devil. CONFESSION/PRAYER Lord, open up my eyes that I may see. Blind the eyes of my enemy so he has no opportunity to devour me or overcome me in any way. There is power in my tongue and I speak life over every circumstance in my life. I have eyes to see and ears to hear. My enemy is blinded from attacking me in Jesus name.
