TOPIC: He Called Her A “Dog”
BASIC SCRIPTURE: Matthew 15:21-28
ODM Devotional 27th April 2021 Tuesday Message:
Dogs are domesticated carnivores of the family Canidae. They have a lifespan of between 10 – 13 years. The fastest dogs are the Greyhound (48 km/hr) and the German Shepherd (72km/hr). Names of dog breeds include Labrados, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, African Mongrel, Dobermann, Prodle, American Pit Bull, Terner, Rott Weiler, etc. Jesus described (called) this woman as ‘a dog’ but she said to Jesus something unusual (paraphrased): “Yes, I’m A Dog, But I’m A Different Kind Of Dog. I Am A Bulldog.
I Will Not Leave You Alone Until I Get What I Want From You.” Ah! The Lord Jesus Could Not Resist Her! That’s one of the outstanding things about bulldog faith. It is faith that makes it very hard for the devil to resist your blessings. It is faith that causes God to move heaven and earth to do whatever you desire. Bulldog faith is faith that refuses to take “NO” for an answer. Be reminded that one of the outstanding things about the bulldog is that once it clamps its jaws on what it wants, it can still breathe through its mouth.
So no matter how long it takes to get that thing,IT NEVER GETS TIRED. BULLDOG FAITH NEVER GETS TIRED. This woman’s faith did not get tired. Remember that woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5; she had a “bulldog” kind of faith too. She kept on telling herself, “If only I can touch the helm of His garment, I shall be made whole.” She kept on saying it. The more she said it, the closer she moved to Jesus. The closer she moved to Jesus, the more she said it.
YES! SHE REFUSED TO BE DISCOURAGED. SHE REFUSED TO QUIT, AND SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED. In this second quarter of 2021, develop that kind of persistence, no matter what life calls you! Don’t give up in the face of opposition. Hold on to what you have received in that place of prayer until it becomes a reality. Faith is not moved by physical discouraging circumstances. Faith holds on to the Word of God until that Word becomes fulfilled. Live like a BULLDOG and this world shall see your OPEN REWARD! Amen and amen!
