Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
Topic: Prevailing by faith (How to grow in Faith) (4)
Text: Mark 9:14 - 24
* When you develop your faith you will be able to withstand the challenges of life
* Unbelief is a major issue for many people, including Christians
* Unbelief can be defined as:
(a) Questioning the ability of Christ
→ this takes place subtly in the heart
(b) Questioning the ability and power of Christ in you
(c) Questioning the potency of your own faith
(d) Wondering if what you are believing God for is His will
→ This is the greatest sign of unbelief
→ God wants you to have that thing you are desiring
→ Every good and perfect gift comes from God
* Faith takes you to a realm where nothing is impossible
★ Luke 1:37 → ''Nothing is impossible with respect to any of God’s promises.”
★ Mark 9:23 → "If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes."
☆ Effects of Unbelief:
1. Unbelief hinders people from receiving God's promises and blessings that could be theirs
★ Jonah 2:8 → "Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God's love for them."
2. Unbelief prevents people from becoming what God has destined them to be
→ Many people cannot accomplish what God created them for
3. Anyone afflicted by unbelief cannot please God
→ It takes faith to please God
