TODAY’S TOPIC: Your faith shall set you free
Text: Luke 5:20-25(AMP Bible)
“When Jesus saw their [active] faith [springing from confidence in Him], He said, “Man, your sins are forgiven.” The scribes and the Pharisees began to consider and question [the implications of what He had said], saying, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies [by claiming the rights and prerogatives of God]? Who can forgive sins [that is, remove guilt, nullify sin’s penalty, and assign righteousness] except God alone?” But Jesus, knowing their [hostile] thoughts, answered them, “Why are you questioning [these things] in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But, in order that you may know that the Son of Man (the Messiah) has authority and power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralyzed man, “I say to you, get up, pick up your stretcher and go home.” He immediately stood up before them, picked up his stretcher, and went home glorifying and praising God."
*SHOWER:*
When Jesus was passing by and saw that the sick were waiting unto Him had faith, He prayed that their faith set them free. You can see how He commanded the sick to walk and go home. Not even the Pharisees could deter Him from doing the work of His father. Sometimes what we are passing through in life is because of not allowing Jesus into our life. You cannot claim to know Jesus when you have no faith. Some would have lost this opportunity because Christ had no Holy or anointed oil with Him there. Many would have expected Him to prayer for them first or even use anointed handkerchief to heal them. But reverse is that case- only His voice, Commands that heals. This happened because of faith. So, we need to back up our long time prayers with faith. God will surely reach us at our point of individual and collective needs.
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
It's great to know that You're God that heals and sets people free at right time especially when their faith is in action. O convenant God, set me free so that I will be free to serve You better in Jesus name, Amen.

*2. Today is my day. I shall be set free, healed and inspired to serve You well, O God.*
*3. I hereby decree and declare total allegiance to God. Therefore, nothing on Earth can separate me from God's blessings and anointing in Jesus name, Amen.*
