TOPIC : THE FORCE OF FAITH
TEXT : MARK 11 : 12-14, 20- 23
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Jesus was hungry and tired and needed to eat.
The only tree that could have served as meal to the Lord disappointed and failed Him.
Jesus therefore cursed the tree.
Faith is a weapon with a multipurpose and multidimensional capability.
Jesus cursed the tree because the tree mocked Him.
There are many situations that seem to be mocking your destiny.
There are many situations that seem to undermine the omnipotence of your God in your life.
Today, may your faith arm you with a tongue to judge these embarrassments in the name of Jesus.
Jesus expects you only to believe and all the confusion threatening your peace will bow.
Our God can be trusted.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
