August 2021

Greatness is achieved in simple manners. It is the simple things that perplex and confound the wicked. The woman with the issue of blood was healed with a simple touch. The centurion’s relative, was healed by a simple word. Naaman was healed by obeying God’s direction given to him by Elisha. What is needed to attain greatness from God? It is reverential sincerity of truth and God's spirit. Create your affirmations and prayers with sincerity. Recite your affirmations and scriptures with enthusiasm and certainty. Know that God is loyal and faithful in his word. Know that the Name of God serves to bless you in your decrees and praises of his Divine Name. God has created all your needs before you realize that you had a need. Do not make God accountable for your failures, or the failures of mankind. Seek divine guidance in all matters. Design your blessings, as the woman with the issue of blood designed her healing, by saying, “If I just can touch the hem of his garment.” Be obedient as Naaman was obedient to be healed of leprosy by following instructions. Rely on the certainty of God's power and promise to send his word. Trust the servants of God. The greatest of faith is simple. The goodness of God is like the sun that shines on the just, and the unjust. You may feel that you do not deserve to be blessed, but you can receive blessings by simply accepting in faith that God is ever shining and sending his word. The centurion was not all that he should be, but his simple faith was demonstrated to be greater than all the faith found in Israel. Accept the rich blessings of God in your life with gratefulness and thankfulness. Read the 135th Psalm this month.
