Bible Reading: Mark 7:24-30 (KJV)
24And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
KEY VERSE: “And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs” (Mark 7:28).
Message
Obstacles and negative situations could not deter the woman in our text today from obtaining what she wanted from the Lord. She believed that the “crumbs” that fall from the table is enough to meet her need. This Syrophenician woman did not give up on her demand from the Lord. Not letting go, Jesus acceded to her request. Her confession brought her needed miracle.
“Impossible is the word found only in a fool’s dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible…” submitted Napoleon Bonaparte. With God all things are possible. Faith is unlimited in its potential. Faith refuses to accept negative circumstance. When your situation seems awkward, negative or unpleasant, confess what God says in His word. Situations naturally around you may say it cannot be done, but faith in God will echo “it can be done and it shall be done.” Don’t be perturbed, distracted or cajoled in the face of challenges or oppositions. You will possess what you confess. Whatever happens, always believe and confess “it is well” and all shall be well. Always confess positively.
Father, help me to always hold on to Your Word in the face of challenges.
Never utter negative words.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
