And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household." And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:57-58
The ministry to Jesus came to a halt in his hometown of Nazareth. The unbelief and unwillingness of the people there made His ability to reach people impossible. It affected His family, His neighbors, and eventually spread throughout the city. This evil leaven took over the whole lump of dough. If the ministry of Jesus could be stopped with unbelief, it is certainly a liability in our churches. Negative talk spreads like wildfire. It can destroy the best ministry and best church. If we see it starting, let's nip it immediately. NIP IT
