LITTLE FAITH-DOUBT

-


Text:  Matthew 14:31 

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Any time Jesus mentioned little faith in the bible, He is simply referring to any action that makes faith impotent or inactive. 

We shall be looking at some of the factors that could make your faith inactive or impotent. Today we shall be considering Little Faith created by *DOUBT*

Peter broke the record! He was the first man that walked on water(other than Jesus). 

".....when Peter was come down out of the ship, *he walked on the  water, to go to Jesus* " Matthew 14:29

I could imagine how excited he would have been walking on water. Somewhere in his heart, he would be thinking himself as a superman. As he was breaking the record, he suddenly lost sight on Jesus. He got distracted by the  boisterous wind. This was not just a mere distraction but a fearful one. This made him to doubt. 

Doubt got its origin from the root word "Twice" I can therefore say that DOUBT means thinking twice. When you give the word of God double thoughts in its possibility and potency. That is doubt. When you waiver at the word of God, that is doubt. Peter doubted becasue of the boisterous wind and he began to sink.

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.(Matthew 14:30).

Have you received a word from God, and you are beginning to doubt because of the circumstances around you? Jesus is asking you today, why did you doubt? The resultant effect of doubt is sinking.

No man doubts God and receive anything from Him. For let not that man thinks that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.James 1:7

If you will cry out to God today, He will save you from the sinking situation you have found yourself.  Peter cried out to Jesus to save him from his predicament and immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him. Matthew 14:30-31. 

 *JESUS WILL ALSO SAVE YOU TODAY IF YOU CAN CRY OUT TO HIM.*

Bible reading: Mathew 14:24-32.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
