Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it (John 14:12-14).
Rhapsody of Realities 4th November 2024 – MESSAGE
What a profound statement the Lord Jesus made in the verses above! He said, “…He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do….” He meant the works of love He continues to do by the Spirit through us because we’re the extension of His ministry. As the prophet Isaiah said, “…he shall see His seed, he shall prolong his days…” (Isaiah 53:10). He’s prolonging His days and continuing His ministry through us. This is so amazing.
Always remember that you’re not alone; Christ is at work in you. Look closely at verse 14 of the opening verse: “If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” Did you notice there’s no special clause here? There’re no conditions or exceptions; He said anything. Most people have never truly understood this enough to take advantage of it. The Lord Jesus said exactly what He meant and meant exactly what He said. Anything you ask in His Name is yours. Glory be to God!
In John 16:23, He tells us more about the day of the Church: “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing….” At first glance, this may seem like a contradiction of what we read earlier in chapter 14. But if you go back to chapter 14 and read from verse 12, you’ll notice what He’s talking about. He said, “…He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
The “greater works” are possible because Jesus has ascended to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit to empower us and impact the world with His love, power, and presence. We’re not limited. He has equipped us to do the same works that He did. This isn’t just about performing miracles; it’s about revealing the love and glory of God through our lives, just as Jesus did.
PRAYER / CONFESSION: Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of doing the works of Jesus and even greater works through the power of your Spirit in me. I declare that I am a vessel of your love, power and glory, manifesting your presence in every situation. Thank you for the confidence and boldness to ask anything in the Name of Jesus, knowing that you will do it. I rejoice and rest in the assurance of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
