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...

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...
