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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
