TOPIC: ARE YOU IN DOUBT? 5: Doubt Attract Punishment.
MEMORY VERSE:
Luke 1:37.
“37. For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
BIBLE READING:
Luke 1:18-20.
“18. And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
20. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
We are studying the case of Zacharias and him doubting the message from the angel. He was on duty one of the days as the Priest. He’s old enough to declare himself and his wife out of child birth age The day came when the Lord remembered him by sending an Angel to give him a good news. Remember that, we’ve been studying great men who were called by God and still doubted God. Zacharias saw the Angel, he was alone and had never experienced such visitation since he’s been serving in the temple. The angel delivered the message but Zacharias doubted the possibility of it because, they were old and aged. Then, the angel of the Lord declared a punishment as a sign for him to believe. What we doubted will always come to pass but we might be punished for doubting. I keep saying it, you and I, are not the first to doubt God but we need to know that, what we are doubting God for will surely stand.
It’s time to accept the verdict of God concerning us, to see things in His own way. Remember, doubt kills Faith, it can bring delay, it can also cause destruction and can bring punishment, above all, what we are in doubt of will still stand because God cannot change His word neither change His mind. If He says it, He will surely do it. Receive what He says as He said it to avoid God’s punishment. Doubt your Doubt not your Faith
Good day and God bless you.
