“The Promise Is True”
Monday, October 14, 2024Key Verse
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23
Text — Mark 9:20-27
Message
If they will ask and believe, God’s promises to help His children when
they are in need remain true. When Joshua went to fight the enemies of God’s people, he needed God’s help. He needed more time to fight and finish the battle, so he commanded that the sun should continue to shine beyond the time it was meant to shine, such that the day was still bright when it should have been dark. (Joshua 10:12-14) God granted his request and helped him.
Today, we all need God’s help, just like Joshua. The secret of Apostle Paul’s success in life and ministry was God’s help. “Having thus obtained help from God, I continue unto this day,” he said in Acts 26:22. This also applied to Esther, John, Daniel, David, and many other people. Prayer of faith is one way to seek God’s assistance. To receive God’s assistance, you must pray every day and believe in God’s promises. Do not be like those children who spend hours on their phones, TV and other electronic devices but only have few minutes to pray. God is expecting you to Pray!!!
