Topic - The Power of Faith
Text: Mark 9:14-29 (KJV)
Key Verse: “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).
MESSAGE:
A small child named Thomas A. Edison came home with a letter from
school. The content of the letter was: “Your son is mentally deficient;
we cannot let him attend our school anymore. He is expelled”. Edison’s
mother’s eyes welled with tears as she said aloud positively, “Your son
is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have good
enough teachers to train him…” The mother took up the tutoring of Thomas
effectively and successfully until she fell ill and passed on. Many
years after Edison’s mother died, he became one of the greatest
inventors of the century. Edison was a mentally deficient child, whose
mother turned him into the genius of the century. Faith produces
something from nothing.
In our passage, Jesus upbraided His disciples for their inability to
heal an epileptic child brought to them. He described their failure as
resulting from their lack of faith. Faith in God’s promises and
faithfulness changes situations and circumstances.
Nothing is impossible for a man or woman of faith. Whoever exercises
faith always dwells in the realm of the supernatural. He visualises
God’s unlimited supply, unquestionable authority over circumstances,
unrestrained power over nature and His control over all issues. If
prayer is the “staff” with which a Christian walks with God, then faith
is the “key” to open God’s treasure-store.
Without faith, we cannot attain to His presence or obtain anything
from Him. How rich are you in faith? Build up your faith and experience
victory and rest on all sides.
Thought For The Day: Through faith, you can both save yourself and others.
