UNBELIEVING BELIEVER

-


Text: Mark  9:24  


 *And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.* 


The Son of a certain man was once possessed with an evil dumb spirit. Whenever it brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. So the man  asked jesus' disciples to drive the spirit out, but they didn’t have the power.” Mark 9:18.


So the man brought the boy to Jesus and reported the case to Him, When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell on the ground and kept rolling around and foaming at the mouth. Mark 9:20.


Then Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” He said, “Since he was a child.

The spirit has often thrown him into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us!”


Jesus told him, “‘If you are able?’  Everything is possible for the person who believes. Mark 9:23.


 *With God, it's not a question of His ability but your ability to believe His capabilities.* 


Jesus said everything is possible for the person who believes. The man realised the bulk has been passed back to him, and he took a wise step, :


With tears flowing, the child’s father at once cried out, “I do believe! Help my unbelief!” 

Mark 9:24.


There's a general belief we all have in God, but your true belief status is revealed when you are faced with real life situation. 


Like this man, you can equally ask God to help your unbelief. Open up to Him your doubts and your fears and be rest assured that He is always near to help.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father Lord, give me the grace to trust in your unfailing love always. 


 *Bible Reading* 

 

Mark 9:14-29.

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
