BELIEVE

 Text:  Mark 11:23


 *For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.* 


Jesus taught His disciples the ABC of Faith in God after they saw Him cursed a tree. He said to the deceptive fig tree: *"...No man shall eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever" Mark 11:14* Within 24hrs, the disciples saw the result. The fig tree had dried from the roots.


Peter said unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursed is withered away. Mark 11:21.


Thereafter, Jesus taught the disciples how they can also get result-oriented prayers. He told them to have Faith in God. He highlighted the details of how they can have faith in God. If you also follow this details, you shall always get result. 


We shall be looking at two of the steps Jesus mentioned today:


 *1. Whatsoever you say:*  This is an open cheque. Whatsoever that you say in accordance to the will of God, you will surely receive. *There is power in our tongue, only that we often use it for the wrong cause.* 


 *And this is the confidence that we have in him: if we ask for anything according to his will, he listens to us.* 1Jn 5:14 ISV.


 *2. This Mountain:*  Faith in God must be specific. You must be precise about what you are believing God for. There are lots of mountains, so you cannot just be speaking to all the mountains arbitrarily. When you pray or make petition, you must be specific and detailed.



BIBLE READING: Mark 11:13-25.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* :


1. Father, I receive grace to start exercising Faith in you and in your words like never before.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
