Text: Mark 4:35-41
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Doubt and fear are twin forces that the devil uses to challenge your authority and control over situations and circumstances. When you allow strange thoughts to creep into your mind and take root there, they begin to question the authority of God’s word.
The disciples in today’s text were so fearful and doubtful that, even though Christ was in their boat. They couldn’t rebuke the storm that confronted them. Thank God that the Prince of Peace took control-Mark 4:35-41.
When the devil comes to shake or move you, he wants you to doubt the authority God gave you and once you do, fear takes over.
However, when you are conscious of God’s presence in your boat, your faith will defeat doubt and fear. The word of God says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.” Psalm 46:1-3
In verse 10, God says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
May the name of the Lord be exalted over your storms in Jesus name.
Prayer Nugget: In Jesus name, I rebuke every spirit of doubt and fear in my life.
