TRUST

Text: Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

 *Trust is too weighty a load that you can't afford to put on a mere man whose breath is in his nostril* 

When you put your trust in man, you are setting yourself up for great fall, failure and dissapointment in life.  Man is a mortal being that has lots of limitations and inadequacies. These  are reflected in man's limited time on earth, his limited capacity, and inadequate resources. 

The person you are putting your Trust in does not have the longevity to always be around. And even if he's around he will not always be disposed towards you.

If you put your Trust in a rich man who supplies all your need, you need to know that he will not be around  forever. Death will take him one day, and your source of help will come to an end. 

In the same vein, every man on earth has a limited capacity as regards to how much of demand  they can bear. A husband for instance, cannot bear his wife's aggregate demands for emotional, psychological, spiritual, or material needs. Only God can satisfy your need wholistically. 

So, anyone who put his or her trust in  husband, wife, father, mother or children will always hit the rock. It is not becasue they do not want to help, but simply becasue they've got limited capacity. 

Only Jehovah Jireh has unlimited provisions for all your needs. He is not limited in capacity and power. And that's the reason He is the only one you should put your trust in at all times.

The same thing applies for Resources. Man is limited in resources. Even the richest man on earth today has got a limited resources. So, why would you put your trust in a man who has   insufficient resources. This is the reason you are often dissapointed in some people whom you think they have more than enough to spare. You are mistaken, because you thought  they have more than enough to spend and to spare. No! People only want to and not because they have surplus. 

*Unless the unlimited God, who is more than enough  touches the heart of a man, you cannot receive anything reasonable from such a man.*

 This is the reason you are not receiving adequate help from that your supposed rich friend, uncle, brother or sister. They've got  limited resources! You need to put your trust in God only and He will move man to supply your needs in an abundant measure.

God placed a curse upon any man who trusts in a fellow man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD because He wants all men to put their trust in Him only and no one else. (Jeremiah 17:5).


 *Bible reading* :

 2Chronicles 16:1-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father God, please, help me to always put my trust in you alone.

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...
