TOPIC: KILLERS OF FAITH
Memory Verse: 2 Kings 7:3-4
“3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.”
Bible Reading: 1 Kings 19:1-4
1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
5. FEAR KILLS FAITH
What is fear? “False Evidence Appearing Real.” Fear is seeing the impossibility of your faith. It’s seeing things beyond God Almighty. When your fear subdue your faith, your expectation is defeated. I pray with you this morning, every forces of fear showing itself to be real than your faith, they are subdued in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Many Christian’s faith has been watered by the power of fear. Their great faith has been over powered by fear. Have you ever noticed, what you fear most never come to reality? They are all trick of the devil to shift your foot from the solid ground of faith.
Prophet Elijah just finish dealing with Eight Hundred and Fifty prophet of Baal and Asherah, 1 kings 18:19, and Jezebel, a woman, sent message to him, that, she will take Elijah’s life as he took the life of her prophet. Because fear has taking over His faith in God, he ran away from the city and ask for death, why? His faith was defeated by the fear of a woman.
Stop nursing that fear. Kill it before it kills your faith. Some defines it has “Forget Everything And Run”, or “Face Everything And Raise.” Why bother yourself with the unknown and loose focus of the known, which is your faith?
The four leper would have been dead and truncated the plan of God if they allow their fear to dictate their decisions, 2 Kings 7:3-8. Their faith for surviver gave the city the unexpected miracle. Take the needed step of faith. Stop listening to the fear speaking within. Your faith will make you whole, stop giving room to fear. Take the step of faith against that fear and you will be glad you did.
Have a Great Day.
Do remember to share the message, someone need to be encourage through this, God Bless you all.
