TRUST IS YOUR CAPITAL


Text: 2 Kings 22:7

 But don't require the construction supervisors to keep account of the money they receive, for they are honest and trustworthy men."

 Trust is fragile like egg, once broken, it cannot be gathered together again.

'Trust' can either mean reliance and dependence; or it can simply means integrity. While the first 'Trust' which talks about your dependence and reliance must only be for God and God alone, (Jeremiah 17:5), the second 'Trust' is your currency for smooth and effective relationship with your fellow humans.

 Trust is your capital for running a profitable relationship.

Our text shows that  the construction supervisors of the temple were so trustworthy to the extent that account was not demanded from them. 

The simple implication of this is that they were accountable to God. You must equally see yourself in the same manner; as being accountable and responsible to God in anything at all that you are doing.

As a child of God, you must see to it that you are faithful and trustworthy in whatever that is committed into your hands.

Be a faithful and trustworthy husband and father in your marriage;

Be a faithful and trustworthy wife and mother;

Be a faithful and trustworthy child;

Be a faithful and trustworthy employee;

Be a faithful and trustworthy fiance and fiancee.

Be a faithful and trustworthy child of God.

 Although Trust is an essential and scarce commodity in our world today, but you must see to it that YOU remain trustworthy!


 Bible  Reading :

 2 Kings 22:1-7.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, give me grace to be found faithful and trustworthy in all my endeavor in Jesus name.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
