Topic: HELP THOU MY UNBELIEF

Memory Verse: Mark 9:24 – And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Bible Reading: Mark 9:17-27

Message: In In Ezekiel 37:1-11, the Bible tells us about the valley of dry bones where God asked the Prophet, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel said, “Only you know”. In other words, Ezekiel was saying, “My faith can’t handle that”, but the dry bones eventually lived. In Mark 9:1 7-27, a man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus’ disciples. They couldn’t deliver the child and thus referred him to the Lord Jesus, who said, “0 ye of little faith”. The man said, “I believe, but help thou my unbelief”. The day I heard that story, I was so glad, because that means if my faith is not enough, I can cry to Him and He will make it grow.

When I became General Overseer, we loved to cook and eat together during our convention, but we were having challenges with the finances for the feeding and the parishes were groaning under the cost. One day during the convention, out of desperation, I said, “One day will come when you will be able to come to the Convention without bringing any money at all”. When we finished that night, and I got back to my office to pray, the Lord spoke to me, “Son, when do you want that to happen?” I said, “One of these days” and He responded, “Why not from now?” At that time we were about 10,000 people. How would I feed 10,000 people for one week? The Lord said, “Announce to the entire congregation that you will feed them next convention”. I said, “Daddy, I’ve never disobeyed You before, but this one? I can’t tell them”. He didn’t put any pressure on me, so the Convention ended and everybody left, but they came back the following month for the Holy Ghost Service and God repeated it. I said, “Lord, my faith can’t carry it”, and He said to me, “Son, you are about to lose a miracle”. I therefore announced, “Brethren, next year, don’t bring any money for feeding, you will be fed”. That was over 20 years ago, and God has not failed once.

You may think I am a man of great faith, but the truth is that my Daddy is the One who helps my little faith, so I depend entirely on Him. He has never let me down and I know He will not let you down too.

Hymn: When Peace Like A River Attendeth My Way

Points: Father, please help my unbelief.
Bible in one year: Haggai 1, Haggai 2

Title: When Peace, Like a River Attendeth My Way.
Chorus: 5. But the Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal:
Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul..

  1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way,

When sorrows, like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to know,
“It is well, it is well with my soul

  2. Though Satan should buffet, 

It trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

  3. My sin- Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin-not in part, but the Whole
Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

  4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live!

If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

  5. 5. But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,

The sky, not the grave, is our goal:
Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.
