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...

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...
