BE CAREFUL NOT TO STOP BELIEVING IN GOD



"See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God." —Hebrews 3:12 (NIV)


Over the past few days, we’ve been learning about God’s goodness and faithfulness. We’ve seen how limitless His love is. But this raises a question: If God is so merciful, why do people suffer and perish?


Today's message warns us about the danger of unbelief. Unbelief is the root cause of all the problems humanity faces today—even among Christians who claim to believe in God. It’s possible to trust God in certain areas of your life but struggle to believe in others. You may doubt that some things can happen the way God says they will. Then there are those who don’t believe in God at all and deny His existence.


Unbelief separates you from God because it hinders you from receiving anything from Him. Even the grace and mercy He has freely given us become inaccessible through unbelief. Today’s verse specifically addresses Christians, warning that even within the church, there are people who do not truly believe in God. They attend church as a routine or tradition but lack genuine faith.


The Word of God says:

"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."—James 2:17 (NIV)


So, even if you’re in church but your actions do not align with your faith, you are effectively living as an unbeliever. Without faith, you separate yourself from God—not because He has rejected you, but because you’ve distanced yourself from Him.


John 3:18 tells us:

"Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son."


Unbelief brings condemnation, curses, and suffering into your life. Under the New Covenant, judgment comes because of unbelief in God. To believe in God is to believe in the One He sent—Jesus Christ, our Savior. When you believe in His name, you will be saved, and your household and possessions will come under His blessing and protection.


Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your grace. I pray for steadfast faith in You, so that Your blessings and favor may rest upon me. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
