Hello to all steemchurch parishioners and welcome to today's topic titled "The consequences Of Showing Unbelief" . Does showing unbelieve really cost as as believers of Christ?. Yea it sure does . Consider a scenario where God says something good is coming your way and because it looks too good to be true , you show some level of doubt. Doubt and unbelief are brothers and can an often cost us a lot as Christian's .
Infact some people see unbelief as the greatest type of sin there is . Why is that so? Unbelief instead of putting it's faith in the ever living God, puts it's faith in men. Men have the proclivities to fail you by a hundred percent but God never fails on His promises. God is ever reliable and ever dependable and whenever He says something, it never returns to Him void.
Unbelief is also the greatest paralysis to our heart as it goes a long way to destroy the best of us . It is the belief of a lie . It is the plot of the evil ones to at every point/step of the way to battle you with doubt and unbelief because they understand that whoever believes in the promises of God will reap the good of the land recieves heaven best.
What does unbelief do to you as a Christian?, It brings your problems /challenges and circumstances between your and God. And often times when this happens , it makes us turn away our attention from God and makes us lose focus.
Unbelief takes the truth of the promises of God from you and handles it in such a way that it confuses you and twists it in every direction apart from the direction of your maker . The reason why you disobey God's words and promises for your life is because of disobedience and unbelief and this makes us lose a lot in the long run. The book of Mathew chapter 13 vs 57-58 says that;
So they were offended at Him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”
58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief
This was talking about Christ and His ordeals with His own people. Because Jesus was so humble enough to pass through what every human passes through...the joy of childhood.....having parents and living with people who were created in His image, some persons took it for granted .
They underestimated him and never believed in Him even when it was clearly visible He was different from every child in the community. At age 12 He has started to preach to elders. When you don't have faith, it clearly shows that you are showing a tremendous and enomous range of of unbelief. And once we don't believe the promises of God , it can be very disheartening.
The book of James chapter 1 vs 6-8 says that ;
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
As a believer of the word of God, there is no point being double minded. Once you have confessed Christ, it means that you believe in the finish works of Christ and that you will guard with all diligence.
From the scripture above, it is obvious that anyone who is unstable in his ways has the prospensity to lose from both sides in the long run. Even as parents or as people who have junior ones, if you notice that one of your junior ones has a very unstable and unstraightforward attitude, there is every tendency that you will not like to associate with that one most often. You won't trust him or her with anything.
It is annoying when someone you are mentoring doesn't even believe in you. That's the scenario between us and God. Anyone who shows unbelief or has the spirit of unbelief as the case maybe will not get anything from God. Yea God must have made promises but if you are showing unbelief then you don't deserve anything from Him.
Lack of unbelief in your maker can lead to severe misery In the long run. Yes , when you put your trust in men instead of God, you refuse to wait for the promises of God to mature and come to pass in your life, it comes to a point you men will fail you and what you will see is misery. The only person we can truly put our mind on is God and His promises because He will never fail. Therefore if you don't want to have a miserable life or live a life of regrets, our all of your trust in God.
Showing unbelief can also make you have lack of discernment when it comes to the Kingdom of God. You no longer hear from God and the things of God no longer make sense to you. What the Holyspirit would have easily shown to you, you won't get to see it and you will keep making wrong decisions.
Showing unbelief can make you have lack of purpose and direction in life. God has planned our lives even before we were born. If we then chose to use our hand to make another design , then we will be planning for failure. God knows our thoughts and therefore the only person that can fully understand us is Him and we need to constantly pay attention to His voice.

If we want to do away with Unbelief then we got to show faith in the word of God . Faith is the food of unbelief.
That's the much I can take on the topic "The consequences Of Showing Unbelief". Thanks for reading
I remain your ever reliable Apostle ;
Unbelief is one of the tools that devil use to steel away the victory of some people.
Unbelief is a killer of smooth relationship between us and God.
He that doubt God stops Him from proving himself great.
Unbelief is one of the causes of people looking for solutions outside God which at the end of days lead to catastrophic.
He that did not believe did not know God and cannot please Him, because "he that come to him must believe that He's God and a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."
Unbelief is found only where faith does not exist. Where faith is complete and perfect, there can be no disbelief. One thing is doubt and quite another is disbelief, any of us can have a doubt and expose it to God but unbelief makes us believe that God does not exist or that he is not capable of acting in our favor, God bless him brother thanks for sharing .

Even the Bible says "that those that put their trust on human desired to be pitied"
"Trust the Lord with all your heart lean not on your own understanding"
But we are now in charge of everything even faster than Our maker because we don't believe on his promise.
"Unbelief is criminal because it is a moral act, an act of the whole nature. Belief or unbelief is a test of a man's whole spiritual condition, because it is the whole being, affections, will, conscience, as well as the understanding, which are concerned in it."
God serving is all about believing him.That is why when Jesus comes into connect with helpless and needer person ,He ask do you believe l can Heal or help you?There are so many dangers associated with unbelief let all do away with Apostle @owoblow-steemit has help us by saying "If we want to do away with Unbelief then we got to show faith in the word of God . Faith is the food of unbelief." God bliss you and have a nice day
A stunning message here OS unbelief which I additionally call fickleness, it's the sort of wrongdoing that Abraham's better half Sarah experienced and it about cost them her gifts of a kid, as a Christian we should never permit unbelief in our life as this can slaughter our confidence, Hmmmm your messages are dependably coincise
warm regard

Unbelief is the opposite of faith. When the light goes out, darkness appears to take its place; and having disappeared the light, the dark dominates everything. Unbelief is found only where faith does not exist. Where faith is complete and perfect, there can be no disbelief. One thing is doubt and quite another is disbelief, any of us can have a doubt and expose it to God but unbelief makes us believe that God does not exist or that he is not capable of acting in our favor, God bless him brother thanks for sharing .
An amazing message here OS unbelief which I also call faithlessness, it's the kind of sin that Abraham's wife Sarah suffered from and it nearly cost them her blessings of a child, as a Christian we must never allow unbelief in our life as this can kill our faith, Hmmmm your messages are always coincise
Confidence dependably opposes acting in dread and sits tight for God to work. Confidence is never ready to get something going by venturing out in front of God.
Unbelief leads to doubt and doubt can lead us to sin, and sin can lead us to enternal condemnation. So it's most important we enimilate doubt and unbelief from our life's.
Thanks for sharing, God bless you.
Certainty constantly contradicts acting in fear and sits tight for God to work. Certainty is never prepared to move something by wandering out before God.
Many doubting believers make a tragic mistake in a significant way: When they fail in a matter of faith, they turn to the flesh. They do what they think must be done, but they proceed in their own wisdom and skill. Faith always resists acting in fear and waits for God to work. Faith is never willing to make something happen by going ahead of God.
For we to truelly find joy in his face we should always believe in hi with all our heart and trust him as the 👑 king of all 👑 king.
Believe in him even when things seems so bad and live your life according to his perfect direction for his ultimate 🔥 heart is full of fire that will burn the 😈 evil one.
God knows our mind, He is the one that know us much better , He know our plan and our ambition.
That is why we call him provider
Very good post, this is very useful for everyone. In this life, sometimes we are there when happy, and hard. But all that has been determined by god. But we as servants of God can change our lives, in the way we should always be close to god, pray, and always read the word of god. Therefore, God will give us a happy life, and God will always look after us, day and night. I like your post, because it can keep people close to god. Thanks for sharing, and wish you a wonderful day... :)
Unbelief is simply lack of faith. The whole essence of Christianity is centred on Faith. Without faith no man can please God so when we have unbelief then we make God angry and it sure comes with these consequences you have just listed.
Thank you for reminding us of this
On one occasion, Jesus casted out a demon from a man who could not speak. As soon as the demon had gone out, the man started speaking. That must have been quite a shock to the crowd! Just moments before, all this man could do was grunt and groan. Now, he’s speaking clearly out loud for everyone to hear.
So, do the religious leaders praise God for this wonderful deliverance? No, some of them started accusing Jesus of casting out demons by the power of Satan! Others started demanding Him to produce a sign from heaven. Luke 11:17-22.
I tell you this, NONE OF THESE MEN RECEIVED MIRACLES FROM JESUS. Their unbelieve robbed them of their miracle. Their encounter with Jesus was in vain.
That's exactly whats happening today, people having plan B. Not fully trusting in their prayers and being skeptical about their belief.
Thank you Sir for enlightening us on the dangers of this careless act.
In the message of Moses to Israel in Deuteronomy, Moses showed us the danger of unbelief. And he warned that unless we take heed, we will suffer the same awful consequences as those who fell before us: “Lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (Hebrews 4:11). He is saying, in essence, “It doesn’t matter what impossibilities you face, or how hopeless things may appear.
You are not to fall into the same sin of unbelief. Otherwise, you’ll end up in a terrible wilderness, as they did. And you’ll wander through it for the rest of your life.
“God is faithful to lead you as He led our fathers into their crises for a reason. He wanted to teach them to trust Him. He wanted a people who would be unshakable in their faith. They were to come out of the wilderness with a tried faith that was as pure as gold. He wanted them as a testimony to the world of His goodness toward His people.”
Without total believe you can never enjoy God. Thanks for sharing this.
Doubt is like a wind that blows the light of our faith. Once this light is out, there us no way we would believe enough to get our blessings.
Yea,unbelief is a great problem among believers,unbelief disconnect faith and it is difficult to receive in a place of unbelief,we have to keep feeding on the gospel and allow the word to transform us abd gain deep root in our heart,Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Doubt and unbelief are brothers and can an often cost us a lot as Christian's .
Infact some people see unbelief as the greatest type of sin there is . Why is that so? Unbelief instead of putting it's faith in the ever living God, puts it's faith in men.

If you don't believe God, how do you want his power and wonders to be manifested in your life?
As christians, we need to live by faith and nothing more.
More wisdom...
Thanks for sharing...@owoblow-steemit.
Numerous questioning devotees commit a lamentable error fundamentally: When they bomb in a matter of confidence, they swing to the substance. They do what they think must be done, however they continue in their own particular shrewdness and aptitude. Confidence dependably opposes acting in dread and sits tight for God to work. Confidence is never ready to get something going by venturing out in front of God.
Doubting God really hinders us as christians, remember without faith, you can not please God.
Very well said! @owoblow-steemit, we cannot over emphasize the boundaries that unbelief and a lack of faith and trust in God places around us. Doubt is like a cankerworm and it eats through the heart and soul of the believer, breaking your will and drawing you away from God. Doubt signifies lack of trust and inadvertently leads to unbelief, we must therefore guard our hearts to prevent it from creeping in.
Hello! I find your post valuable for the wafrica community! Thanks for the great post! @wafrica is now following you! ALWAYs follow @wafrica and use the wafrica tag!
What a moral lesson you passed across ....
Even the Bible says "that those that put their trust on human desired to be pitied"
"Trust the Lord with all your heart lean not on your own understanding"
But we are now in charge of everything even faster than Our maker because we don't believe on his promise.
Thanks for sharing @owoblow-steemit
You are a brave young woman and so you win the battles go ahead because the brave will inherit the kingdom of GOD
Excellent topic, disbelief is nothing but the absence of faith. It is the lack of credibility to the truth. Unbelief is a consequence of sin. Unbelief is the cement that hardens a heart to not believe in something or someone. Unbelief arose along with evil when man changed faith for reason. Unbelief originates in people when we believe that God is a man like us, that is, when we reduce him to our humanity.
Today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die.
And the truth is that the stress drawn from unbelife is exhausting
