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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
