TRUST


Text. Proverbs 3:5.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not depend on your own understanding.

Many people have trust issues, and this is very understandable, we live in a world that is full of mistrust. Many are hurting, and many are wounded by reason of the trust they had had in others.

The truth is, man cannot be trusted. How can you trust a man whose breath is in his nostrils?

Isaiah 2:22 says, “Stop trusting in human beings, whose life breath is in their nostrils, for what are they really worth?”

Jeremiah puts it this way-  This is what the LORD says:   “Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind, who makes flesh his strength,  and whose heart turns away from the LORD.(Jeremiah 17:5).

That is, trusting in man only attracts curses to your life. Clear as this truth is, man still finds it comfortable to trust in their fellow men.

At times, you go to bed just because a mere man had given you his words. It's very annoying and insulting to God to see how you trust in man's words as against your trust in His words.

 To live a restful life in Christ, you must learn and be ready to believe and obey His words like a little child.

Now, He is saying to you to trust in Him with ALL YOUR HEART AND NEVER TO DEPEND ON YOUR UNDERSTANDING.(Proverbs 3:5)

If you look at our study text very closely, you will observe that it's a two- sentence  verses joined with a conjunction. This is because to live out the first instruction, you must have first obeyed the second.

The major hindrance to trusting the Lord with all your heart is your understanding of your supposed reality(ies). If you are still banking on the understanding of your reality or your environment, then you can't trust in the Lord. And if you can't trust in the Lord, He can't come through for you.

You are the one that can limit what God can do for you and through you by your thinking and understanding.

 GO FORTH IN THIS NEW MONTH PUTTING ALL YOUR TRUST IN THE FATHER GOD, AND HE WILL SURELY DIRECT YOUR PATH.

 Bible reading:

 Proverbs 3:5-8.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I receive the grace to trust in you with all my heart.

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
