Unbelief: The Sin That Hinders Us by jmann2(m): 5:28pm On Jun 16, 2018
UNBELIEF: The sin that so easily entangles and hinders us

"So we see that they were not able to enter into God's rest BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF"(Heb3:19)

God has a very good and great purpose for all his creation. He never created us for evil but with a great future and to bring us to an expected end. His purpose and plans toward us is never for evil. To enter God's rest simply means to enter the place of greatness and the good and perfect plan he has for us even before we came into this world. His place of rest doesn't demand our effort and goodness.
We only require FAITH AND NOTHING BUT FAITH TO ENTER HIS PLACE OF REST.

A place of rest is a place where you rest from all your work just as God rested from all his work after the creation of the world. You dont need 40days prayers and fasting to enter this place. You dont necessarily need to pay any so called man of God money to enter this place of rest. You dont need to kill all the strong men and every evil foundation to enter this place of rest.

The only thing that hinders us from entering this place of rest is nothing but UNBELIEF.
Unbelief in what? Unbelief in God's gracious promise that all we need to enter his best for us is SIMPLE TRUST IN HIS GOODNESS.
It is not a spirit wife or spirit husband that is stopping you for enjoying the best that God's has for you. It is not non payment of tithe that is actually inhibiting you from reigning in life as God desires you to be.

As his word says

'SO WE SEE THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ENTER GOD'S REST BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF"(Heb3:19)

When a man doubts the gospel, the word of his grace and God' great and marvelous promises, nothing else could ever help the man to access God's best. Nothing incapacitates and neutralizes the power of God to help man than the man's unbelief in God's grace.

"The message they heard was of no value to them because those who heard DID NOT COMBINE IT WITH FAITH" (Heb 4:2)

It is not enough to go to church. It is not enough to study the word of God. It is also not enough to have believing parents. It makes no sense when we dont actually take God' s for what he says he is .When faced with great challenges and difficulties in life, many of us look down and begin to doubt what God has promised us to bring us to an expected end. When we dont actually mix God's word with our faith, it becomes utterly USELESS. That is why many children of God are suffering needlessly. They can fast for 1000days and be holy even holier than christ but they still smell poverty, sickness and look defeated in life.
Why?
Because the message they heard is of no value to them because they fail to combine it with faith.
Faith is simple "YES" to God's promises.
When God says that all things work for our good. Simply accept that irrespective of any evil or bad things anybody may do to you in life. Dont just fret, dont be afraid. Just believe God who said it is for good.

Again when God says that He will supply all your needs according to his riches in GLORY in christ. Accept it and dont be afraid when you suffer lost of job or contract the next day. Dont go running from pillar to post seeking help from mortal men who are nothing but breath in nostrils. Mix his word with faith and see it produce result. GREAT RESULTS.

"Let us throw off everything that hinders and THE SIN that so easily entangles us and let us run" (Heb 12:1)

Realise that the verse above is not talking about SINS, it is actually talking about a singular SIN, which is unbelief. It hinders us from entering God's rest. Unbelief is the only thing that can stop us. Your other sins cannot stop you. God loves you so much that your weaknesses cannot stop him from taking you to an expected end. Only your unbelief in his power and grace could do that. Many preachers interpret the text above as "SINS' instead of "SIN". But if we carefully look at the text once again , we will realise that our FATHER is talking about a PARTICULAR SIN that so easily stops us

So, how can you correctly diagnose that unbelief is at the root of what ails you or prevents you from entering into the rest that God has prepared for you How?
Re: Unbelief: The Sin That Hinders Us by bloodofthelamb(m): 6:05pm On Jun 16, 2018
The mother of all sins is unbelief. Op nice one. The wind of "revival" is blowing so strong. I see the heart of many looking upon the Lord God our Saviour.... Amen!

I WOULDN'T SAY UNBELIEF IS A SIN. I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL N CIRCUMSTANCES.
Re: Unbelief: The Sin That Hinders Us by RuthlessLeader(m): 8:43am On Jun 17, 2018
I guess the 6 decades of prayers and fasting for a better nation were as a result of unbelief then.

I guess illiteracy, corruption, crime glorification et al is not what hinders us but simply good old unbelief.

Keep deceiving yourselves oo.

Unbelief hinders you from entering into God's promise. Unbelief in God's Grace and power is a terminal sickness. Unbelief is the root cause of any life of sin you may find yourself. Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
2:12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Unbelief will take you to hell by making you rebellious to God's commands.
May GOD help us all.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

thank you OP, I didn't go to church today, is not because I don't want to go to church but because work is keeping me so tight for it so reading this piece of write up has just made my Sunday a perfect one. God bless you and keep the flame up. One day God will remember you.

Indeed one of my problems is belief. I have been allowing my self to be ruled by science and human mind to go against the word of God in my life. I am a realist and that has been fighting the will of God in my life but with this piece I can now trace where my problems are coming from.

Thanks Op
