Unbelief: the Bane of the Loser!

The problem is not that you cannot achieve your goal in life, the problem is that you are skeptical of your ability to make it or of what the future holds for you.

Many a time, we behave like a person who takes up arms, enlist himself in the camp of his enemies and wages war against himself. Although this may sound funny, in reality, this is what we do to ourselves by reason of our unbelief. It is worse as that!

I am sure you will agree with me that we all want to succeed in life and to some extent, we may even be making some effort towards achieving our goals. But at a stage, when it appears that we are not making any headway in spite of our efforts, we begin to doubt whether we will succeed in the end.

Power of Unbelief

Unbelief is as powerful as belief. It all depends on the one you allow to dominate your mind. If you allow unbelief to dominate your mind, it will shut down your brain, your abilities and potentials. When you begin to doubt your ability to succeed in life you will lose hope in life and you will not even be motivated to work towards achieving your goals.

Unbelief can be likened to the OFF button of a computer. When a computer is in full operation and you press the OFF button, it practically shuts down the computer system.

The shutting down of a computer is similar to what happens to a man who is working towards achieving his heart’s desires but gives up because of unbelief. Unbelief stifles your hope, makes you despondent, paralyses and forces you to quit. No matter how far you have gone and how close you are to success, if you allow unbelief to dominate your mind, it will shut down your brain and forces you to quit.

The bane of losers is unbelief. The Bible says: “if ye will not believe, ye will not prosper.” Anytime you feel like giving up in your pursuit of success, it could be that you have allowed unbelief to dominate your mind.

Unbelief Repels Prosperity

Belief is a magnet that attracts prosperity. The Bible says: “Believe in God and in His prophet and ye shall prosper.” Jesus equally said: “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:29).

Unbelief, on the other hand, is the opposite of belief. Unbelief repels prosperity and keeps people in perpetual bondage of poverty. Prolific author, William Shakespeare, once said: “Our doubts are traitors and make us to lose what we oft’ might gain by fearing to attempt.”

One vivid illustration that describes how unbelief repels success is recorded in the Bible. At a particular period in the history of Israeli nation, there was severe famine, so severe that a woman in a reciprocal agreement with another woman, boiled her child and both of them ate the child. As the famine grew from bad to worse, a man of God by name Elisha declared publicly that in the next 24 hours, there would be surplus foodstuffs so much so that people would buy them cheaply.

 A top functionary in the employment of the king of Israel who heard the prophecy of Elisha doubted: “Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?” (2 Kings 7:2a).

The worst form of unbelief is the one which doubt the power of God to do ALL things. And when you have this form of unbelief, what you get always is the worst. In response to the man’s unbelief, Elisha, the man of God, prophesied against him: “Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.” (2 Kings 7:2b).

And it happened to the man exactly what Elisha declared: “And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him. And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:  And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.” (2 Kings 7:17-20).

Dear reader, what is it that you allow to dominate your mind? You may not pay much attention to what you allow to dominate your mind until you begin to watch your life go the way of what is in your mind.

How to Whittle Down Unbelief and Increase Your Faith for Victory

As a result of many negative things happening to us and around us, it is very easy to allow unbelief to dominate our  mind. But one way to whittle it down is to fill our mind with faith thoughts.      

Read the Bible regularly. Read motivational books regularly. Visit this blog regularly and read our articles herein. Memorise and affirm faith-based bible verses and positive expressions that you find in the Bible, in motivational books and other publications.

The more positive affirmations you store in your mind, the more you crowd out unbelief that would try to gain entry into your mind. When your mind is dominated by positive thoughts and faith thoughts, you whittle down unbelief and increase your faith for victory.

Keep memorizing and affirming positive thoughts daily and your faith will grow bigger than your unbelief. When your faith becomes bigger than unbelief, unbelief will have no place in your mind and it will dwindle to a vanishing point.

And then, you will be empowered never to quit but to keep trying until you succeed. Remember: WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN.

You can be victorious today if you choose to grow your faith bigger than your unbelief. Until I come your way soon, go and live victoriously!
