HOW TO OVERCOME UNBELIEF (I)

24TH September, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Neh 11, Neh 12, Neh 13; Psa 126

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 11: 1 - 10

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible

4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

MEMORY VERSE: “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” - Phil. 1:6

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Faith is all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you have an assurance that it will.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Heaven shall water the seed of faith in you. It shall germinate and bring forth in hundred folds, in the name of Jesus.

THE MESSAGE:

Unbelief is a terrible disease of the heart which every believer in Christ must strive to overcome. The first step to overcome unbelief is to know the will of God for your life. Ignorance is the devil’s weapon to rob believers of their divine purposes. He knows that if he can keep you from knowing the will and the purposes of God for your life, he has succeeded in caging you.

Lack of the knowledge of what the word of God says concerning you results in unbelief. The devil is still in the business of working on people’s mind to weaken their faith and boost their doubts and unbelief. He will tell you that you are sick when God says “By his stripes you are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). He will say you are broke when God says, “I wish above all things that thou mayest proper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3John 2).

The devil will say you are depressed when the Bible says “The joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh. 8:10b); “Rejoice, again I say rejoice” (Phil 4:4) and many more. You can overrule the devil’s lies with the word of God. Refuse to buy what he is selling. Claim your victory in the word of God. Secondly, you can overcome unbelief by rejecting fear, which comes with the lies of the devil.

The Bible says you should be careful for nothing but in prayer, and not in fear, let your request be made known unto God (Phil. 4:6). Satan’s lies come with fear and is accompanied by torment. When your mind is not at peace, it would be difficult to read, meditate and believe on God’s promises for your life. Fear is the basis of unbelief. If you don’t deal with it, it will deal with you and it will make you to doubt and question the words of God.

Fear will keep you from the promises of God. It was fear that made the 10 Spies among the Israelites to call themselves “grasshoppers” and they failed to enter into their Promised Land. Only Caleb and Joshua, who saw the victorious power of God through their eyes of faith made it. The others died in the wilderness as their journey of 40 days became 40 years. Beloved, tell unbelief the words of the hymn writer: Unbelief begone, my Saviour is near!

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Father, by Your mercy, forgive me of the sin of unbelief, in the name of Jesus.
2. I overcome the spirit of unbelief, in the name of Jesus.
3. Spirits of doubt and anxiety, I am not your candidate, die, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. Powers assigned to rob me of the blessings of faith in God, die, in the name of Jesus.
5. Every good thing that unbelief has robbed me of, I recover you now, in the name of Jesus.
6. Father, increase and strengthen my faith, in the name of Jesus.
7. Father, give me the faith that moves mountains, in the name of Jesus .

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
