TOPIC: HOW TO OVERCOME UNBELIEF (I)
Fire Scripture: Heb. 11:1-10
Outline
Unbelief is a terrible disease of the heart which every believer in Christ must strive to overcome. The first step to overcome unbelief is to know the will of God for your life. Ignorance is the devil’s weapon to rob believers of their divine purposes. He knows that if he can keep you from knowing the will and the purposes of God for your life, he has succeeded in caging you.
Lack of the knowledge of what the word of God says concerning you results in unbelief. The devil is still in the business of working on people’s mind to weaken their faith and boost their doubts and unbelief. He will tell you that you are sick when God says “By His stripes you are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). He will say you are broke when God says, “I wish above all things that thou mayest proper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3John 2).
The devil will say you are depressed when the Bible says “The joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh. 8:10b); “Rejoice, again I say rejoice” (Phil 4:4) and many more. You can overrule the devil’s lies with the word of God. Refuse to buy what he is selling. Claim your victory in the word of God. Secondly, you can overcome unbelief by rejecting fear, which comes with the lies of the devil.
The Bible says you should be careful for nothing but in prayer, and not in fear, let your request be made known unto God (Phil. 4:6). Satan’s lies come with fear and is accompanied by torment. When your mind is not at peace, it would be difficult to read, meditate and believe on God’s promises for your life. Fear is the basis of unbelief. If you don’t deal with it, it will deal with you and it will make you to doubt and question the words of God.
Fear will keep you from the promises of God. It was fear that made the 10 Spies among the Israelites to call themselves “grasshoppers” and they failed to enter into their Promised Land.
Only Caleb and Joshua, who saw the victorious power of God through their eyes of faith made it. The others died in the wilderness as their journey of 40 days became 40 years. Beloved, tell unbelief the words of the hymn writer: Unbelief begone, my Saviour is near!
Memory Verse:
Phil. 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
Motivational Quote:
Faith is all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you have an assurance that it will.
Prophetic Word:
Heaven shall water the seed of faith in you. It shall germinate and bring forth in hundred folds, in the name of Jesus.
HYMN: O Weary Heart, There Is A Home
1. O weary heart, there is a Home,
Beyond the reach of toil and care;
A Home where changes never come:
Who would not fain be resting there?
Chorus
Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not!
Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not!
Oh wait, Oh wait oh wait, and murmur not!
2. Yet when bow’d down beneath the load
By heav’n allow’d, thine earthly lot;
Look up! thou’it reach that blest abode:
Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not!
3. If in thy path some thorns are found,
Oh, think who bore them on His brow;
If grief thy sorrowing heart has found,
It reached a holier than thou.
4. Toil on! nor deem, though sore it be,
One sigh unheard, one prayer forgot;
The day of rest will dawn for thee:
Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not!
