What are you expecting God to do for you today? Do
you believe that God will respond according to your expectation?
Done As You Have Believed
13Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have
believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same
hour.
When Jairus, distraught at the sickness that was
claiming his daughter’s life, fell at Jesus’ feet, he entreated Jesus to
personally come to his house to lay His hands on his daughter so that she would
be healed. (Mark 5:23)
But do you know that Jesus can heal at a distance?
He didn’t need to go to Jairus’ house to heal his daughter. Still, Jesus went
and didn’t even chide Jairus for his little faith. He met Jairus’ expectation —
his little daughter was raised from the dead that day. (Mark 5:41–42)
Why do I say that Jairus had little faith? Because
there was a Roman centurion who came to Jesus about his servant suffering at
home. He recognised the power Jesus had and asked only that Jesus “speak a word,
and my servant will be healed”. (Matthew 8:8) Jesus told him, “Go your way;
and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” The
centurion’s servant was healed that same hour — true to his expectation.
My friend, there is no particular level your faith
must reach before God gives you what you are asking for. Your faith does not
initiate God’s giving. God has already given to you all
things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3) His blessings are
pressing on you already! And at whatever level of faith you are at, God will
respond. Jairus needed Jesus to go to his house to lay His hands on his
daughter, and Jesus did. The centurion just needed Jesus to speak the word for
his servant to be healed, and Jesus did. He met both their expectations.
My friend, don’t fix your eyes on
how much faith you have or don’t have. Fix your eyes on the One who loves you,
who has already given you what you need. When you come to Him, simply believe
that He is waiting to meet your expectation. He will say to you, “Go
your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.”
