Topic : Your Faith Is Key.
Memory Verse :Mark 9:23. “ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Bible Reading :Mark 9:24-26 NIV. Key Verse: v24.
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.”
Jesus was just coming down from the place of prayer where he encountered Elijah and Moses with few of his disciples, when he met his disciples whom he left behind in what looked like an argument with some people. He tried to find out what was going on, when a man approached him from among the people there explaining that he brought his son possessed by evil spirit to his disciples who was not able to cast out the epileptic spirit that made him deaf and dumb. “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked. A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.” Mark 9:16-18.
“You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” Mark 9:19-22. At this point, Jesus who was willing to help them made the father of the young man understand that anything he wanted from God at that point in time was possible, only if he can believe from the depths of his heart.
What Jesus told the father of the young man that had complications in his life and development due to the activities of evil spirits working to destroy his life, he is telling us today. Many people allow the enemy deny them divine intervention when they magnify the problem they are going through to think that it will be difficult for God to resolve. The man had some level of faith that made him come to Jesus and his disciples in the firsr place, but was still harbouring some fears and doubts because of what he had seen in the hands of the enemy. But he was plain enough to ask the master to help his weak faith with his overiding grace and mercy. Today, remember that whatever looked difficult or even impossible with men is possible with God. The God we serve has capacity to do all things. What he demands from us is absolute trust or faith. The woman with the issue of blood is a good example of one whose faith was resolute. Before she left her house for that special encounter with the master, she made up her mind to take her healing just by touching the helm of his garment. God had no choice but to honour her faith. ”He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
Mark 5:34.
