Unbelieving Believers

***Unbelieving Believers***

Mark 9:24 KJV
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

A song goes thus:
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Nothing else could take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find my way
Bring me back to you
Chorus: You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near

The Bible verse above explains how a father cried out to our Lord Jesus Christ to Help his unbelief.  He said I believe but help my unbelieve.
The song also points out the need to know that God is near, the need of a heart that is helpless, the need of a soul that feels lost, the need of a believer seen as a pillar but shaking and losing his footings. The need of you and I when no one is around.

I was consoling a friend who broke down in tears because the situation was just unbearable.  The verdict of man on this situation is "there is no way out". Even living with the fact that the end is near is now becoming very unbearable.

I don't know if anyone understands that type of feeling is. Those feelings whereby, your tears can only be shed in your closet away from the world, away from your love ones, away from all that matters but the only one who sees and knows all is your creator.

I have been in that situation before and I just cry it out to My helper (Jesus Christ). Even if the answers might not be immediate I result into praying my tears and pain to Him.

When the whole world shot their door at night and their is no door to run to we run to He who is abundantly able My God.

Unbelief is an act of doubt, yes when you doubt something you lose trust in it. What you do not trust its difficult to believe in it.

The man crying out to Jesus knew he was helpless but Christ was the only help  he can get. Medical records have sentenced many to early grave and they just embrace the death certificate till the day they take their last breath.

Whereas some have been restored against all odds even when medicine failed. Jehovah Jireh does not google information to ressurect the dead cell or ill the broken hearted neither does he need a consultant He has the final say. Yes!

Unbelieving Believers,  when that storm is becoming unstopable and the fire unquenchable such believer question God. Some even say "is there a God for real" "God why me?".
Life isn't bed of roses dear, yes there will be trials but we are overcomers in Christ Jesus amen.

We need to understand that God does good all the time. He is a wonderful God he can use you and I to perform wonders. There is no trial or tribulations  that will come our way without His permission.

Job was afflicted with trial but that took place with God's permission. 

Trials of faith can make one an unbelieving believer. It takes the grace of God and divine strength to stand FIRM, FOCUSED,  FAITHFULL AND FRUITFULL.

Four Fs, In  your trials you have to be firm in your believe , you must focus on God (author and finisher of our faith), you must be faithfull don't compromise its dangerous to do that, and you must be fruitful yes still win souls for His kingdom.

Its easier said than done  but God's grace is more than sufficient if you hang on Him.

As human you will have times when moving on is just impossible and you become reluctant but don't stop. Where you started from and the journey you have covered is worth the price at the end. Giving into that trial and losing all is a waste.

May we not be a waste in Jesus name amen.

As believers, unbelievers look up to us, they are ready to throw your preaching at your face if you mess up. What about people that you motivate, what about that new convert, what about that Nation you are discipled to evangelise to either through your word or works?

God is able I always remind my self of that all the time.
When its becoming unbelievable I just lift my head and say God is able.  
Even through my tears I say God is able.
Even through my pain I say God is able.
Through my shame because it won't and will never last long I say God is able.
Hallelujah! !!!!!!

Dear friend,
What is it that is turning you to an unbelieving believer don't allow it to turn you to an unbeliever. Speak to that situation because your God is able. Let us pray;

Heavenly father,  I thank you for this word which you have  brought to me this day. I pray lord that you have mercy on me, help my unbelief Jehovah. Help me to carry on and know you are near. You are my strength Lord I believe you will see me through in the name of Jesus amen.

Thank you Jesus.
Smile because God is able.
