TOPIC: HOW TO OVERCOME UNBELIEF (II)
Fire Scripture: Heb.11:1-10
Outline
Yesterday, we began to examine how a believer can overcome unbelief. We identified knowing the will of God for one’s life and overcoming fear as two key factors in dealing with unbelief. Indeed, fear is satan’s most effective weapon from his armory to disarm Christians from trusting God wholeheartedly. The only antidote for fear is belief.
Faith automatically cancels fear and lifts you up to the level of an overcomer through Christ Jesus. The third key for overcoming fear is that you must believe in the love of God. God is love (I John 4:16). The love of God is a powerful force that has provided you with abundant life. Do you have faith is this love? Also, believe in His power to bring to pass whatever He promised according to the memory verse.
The disciples had forgotten the love the Master had for them. When they saw the storm, they began to question Jesus if He cared that they perish (Mk. 4:38). This is unbelief in the love that the Master has for them. It is a doubt of His power to save and deliver them out of all troubles. Maybe you are asking the same question “Jesus, don’t you care that I’m sick”, “What have I done to deserve this?” etc.
I have good news for you; God is love. He cares for you and will make His promises to come to pass in your life. His words are Yes and Amen. Not a jot of His word would go unfulfilled (Matt 5:18). All what you need is faith, and the mountain of impossibility in your life will move (Mk 11:22-23). Unbelief will defeat God’s effort in your life. Rise up against it and say NO to unbelief and you will receive your miracles.
Begin to read your Bible, spend quality time to meditate on the word of God and His ever unfailing promises. Keep believing, keep trusting Him and He will never fail you, in Jesus’ name. I pray that the Lord will shut the door of your life against unbelief and give you the faith that never fails, in the name of Jesus.
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:
Talk unbelief and you will have unbelief. But talk faith and you will have faith. According to the seed sown will be the harvest.
Prophetic Word:
I decree that only the events that will strengthen your faith are permitted to happen henceforth. They shall unfold and you will rejoice, 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!
