LEAN ON HIM 2

Text : Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

If you are told to trust God with all your heart, it means that you can trust God partially. It means that man's heart can be splitted and divided into many parts. A man can partly trust God, and also trust in many other alternatives. 

For a typical man, there are varied options. If option A does not work, option B will work, and if B does not work, option C will work. This is how man's heart works since the fall in the garden. 

 A heart that is not fully settled on God, will surely lean on his own understanding. God wants the whole of our heart settled on Him. God wants the whole of you. Everything or nothing. We often find it difficult to focus on God and wholly trust Him because we lean on our understanding and not on Him. 

To trust God with all your heart is to settle on only one option-God.  When you cannot trust the Lord with all your heart, you will certainly resolve to leaning on your own understanding. Leaning on your own understanding, will lead to more and more alienation from God. The more you find yourself being able to do stuffs without God's help, the farther you keep moving away from God's authority over your life. Just as Cain left God's presence and he and his children brought about great innovation and civilisation(good and evil) outside of God's supervion,  authority and presence. Gen. 4:16-24

To experience God's salvation, we must totally depend and lean on Him in every single details of our lives. 

Our Lord Jesus said in John 5:19 "...Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise" Jesus during His earthly life only imitates the Father. He never lean on his own understanding. Your understanding must not take the place of God, rather it should be subjected under God in order to carry out Everything whatsoever He commands.


Bible Reading: Proverbs 3:1-6.

 *Prayer Points* 
1. Father give me grace to always trust in you with the whole of my heart.

2. Lord help me not to lean on my own understanding.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
