THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW(2)

Text : Mark 16:17-18 

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Today, we shall look at the prerequisite for the signs that should follow us as believers. The only requirement for these signs to follow you as a believer is: *BELIEVE*

Jesus simply said, "these signs shall follow them that believe" All you must do in order for the Mark 16 signs to follow You is believe. Many people would say they believe but they are not experiencing the signs in their lives and ministry. Such believe is like what John Wesley calls, 'mental assent'. There is difference between believing God with your heart and paying mental assent (agreeing with God's word )in your head.

 "God Can" and "God Will" are two different things. Most of the times, our Believe in God is: "Yes He Can" and not "Yes He will" . To believe Jesus,is to simply, wholly and childlikely trust Him with the whole of your heart (the very core of your being). You can only believe thus when you allow His word takes root in your heart and not just having it in your head or on your lips. 

 You must learn to meditate on His word more than on your circumstances, what you see, feel or hear.Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom...Colossians 3:16.

 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.Joshua 1:8 

 When God's word get hold of your heart, then will you be a true BELIEVER. It is not enough to just believe Jesus for the SALVATION unto New Birth (Born Again)Roman 10:9-10). You must keep believing Him daily in all your ways and with every details of your life. You must trust His words come what may. *Signs only follow true believers.

* Bible reading: Mark 16:1-20

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
