A BOUT WITH DOUBT!

"Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish: so that we are not able to build the wall'. Nehemiah 4:10. My friend, "we have to persevere in the midst of our opposition". You are not a leader or a Christian with conviction if won't fight for what you believe. Opposition is bad enough when it comes from without, but it is a worse heartburn when it comes from those who are in our camp. Sometimes we have the same problem like Judah. Judah got discouraged because he lost sight of God, and kept looking on the adversaries, the weakness of burden bearers, and much rubbish that lay in the way, And having lost faith in himself, he sought to discourage others in the work, saying "we are not able to build the wall". Bro: a discouraged man is a useless man in the work of the Lord and he is a positive hindrance. When things are going good it's easy to have FAITH and not to DOUBT. But when things are not going well: sickness, Job loss, Family Crisis, Ministry Crisis, opposition and persecution, we all have a "BOUT WITH DOUBT" isn't it? In John chapter 20:25 we see a doubting Thomas. Satan loves when he can make us doubt our faith, doubt our abilities, doubt JESUS IN US. He knows the first reaction from us will be to hide away from people who care. In verses 19-22, we see other disciples not only saw the resurrected Lord, but they received the blessings of the Holy Spirit. Hey, hey, A BOUT WITH DOUBT MAKE YOU MISS OUT AND MAKE YOU A SOUR KROUT. My friend, when you have "A BOUT WITH DOUBT, DON'T POUT, BUT CHECK OUT"! Are you a Judah or Thomas? Well, what did you say? I CAN'T hear you!!
