TRUST NOT IN MAN

-
Text : Psalms 146:3 

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

God is God, He is no man that should fail. When God gives you His word, you can certainly count on it.

The word of God clearly warned that you should not put your trust in princes nor in the son of man. Why? No help can be found in man. Though man may be willing to help, but he is not sure of having his breath in his nostril till the next day. Man is limited by so many constraints and limitations. 

Psalms 146:4 says that  _His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day, his thoughts perish._ Hence the Psalmist advised that  _It is better to trust God than man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes_. Psalms  118:8 -9.

God placed a curse upon any man that trusts in man and makes flesh his arm. Jeremiah 17:5. God wants the whole of your heart all for Himself. He wants you to solely TRUST  Him solely and nothing else.

You must deliberately start learning how to put your trust in God and not in man or princes. God and His works become more visible to you as you place your trust in Him. He never fails. He never disappoints. He is dependable, He is reliable at all times and in all situations.


Bible Reading : 2Chron. 16:1-9.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
