BANISH UNBELIEF

Memorise:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. .. Matthew 21:21

Read:
Matthew 17:19-20

Message

Hebrews 4:12 says that the word of God is living, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. Also, John 1:1-3 tells us that all things were created by the word of God. As powerful as God's word is, however, when it is spoken in unbelief, it cannot be expected to produce results.

In 1 John 4:4, it is written that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. God lives within you, and He is greater than every problem or challenge that the world can throw your way. This is the absolute truth about you; you are above poverty and destruction because God's power resides in you, and you can leverage it to subdue negative situations. Despite this, unbelief can hinder the power of God from flowing through His word in your mouth.

It is possible to be a Christian and be tormented by the spirit of doubt and unbelief. What this spirit does is that it undermines the power of God's word in your heart and makes you feel that the word of God is ordinary. It also thereby filling your heart with uncertainty. If the spirit of doubt and unbelief is tormenting you, I pray that it will leave you right now, in Jesus' name.

Jesus raised Jairus' daughter in Mark 5:35-43 with His word. When He got to his house, He drove out those who were weeping and commanded the dead girl to arise. Peter followed the same pattern when God used him to raise Dorcas in Acts 9:36-42; he sent the mourners out of the house and commanded the dead woman to arise.

Beloved, there is no limit to what you can achieve when you proclaim God's word in faith. As Jesus said in today's Bible reading, nothing shall be impossible to you if you speak the word of God in faith without any doubt or unbelief. God wants you to believe His word and act upon it. He wants you to go to places where there are hopeless cases so He can show the world that there is still hope through you. He wants to use you mightily and shine His light through you so that He will be glorified (Matthew 5:16). However, you must learn to trust in His word completely and proclaim it boldly over every situation you encounter. May you be a conduit of God's mighty power everywhere you go henceforth, in Jesus' name.

  1. Holy words long preserved
    For our walk in this world
    They resound with God's own heart

    Handed down to this age
    Came to us through sacrifice
    Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ

    For our walk in this world
    They resound with God's own heart
    Oh, let the ancient words impart
