Trusting in God


Theme: Trusting in God
Book(s): Jeremiah 17:7
                1 Samuel 17:45
                 Exodus 14
In English definition, to trust is to have a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something.
**When you trust in the Lord, you trust the main source of all good things that pertain to life.**
Jeremiah 17:7-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
There is emphasis on this theme; “Trust”.  
The Word of God teaches us to trust in God regardless of the current state in our lives. The Word of God calls that man or woman or child Blessed, whose trust is in the Lord.
In verse 8, the person who trust 100% in the Lord will always yield fruit and they will be deep rooted in constant flow of supplication (in reference to water).
Additionally, in times of drought or scarcity in the land, they will not fear nor be dismayed but will always yield fruit and prosper since his hope/trust is in the Lord fully.
Examples of individuals who held their stand in God and trusted Him fully without doubt include:
v  Job- who lost everything but he never cursed God nor seized to trust in Him and he was restored.
v  Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego- despite seeing the fiery furnace. They still trusted In God through it all and they were delivered.
v  Mary- who was a virgin received the report of giving birth to the Messiah: Jesus Christ. And through her obedience and trust in God, the Messiah came forth to the world and Transformed it to the Will of the Father.
So, brethren, time and again we have encountered the message of Trusting in God. So, I urge you to take the plunge and trust in God and His will for your life regardless of your current state.
Be Blessed.

Serving God Has Never Been in Vain

Image
Sometimes in serving God we may feel like it's all in vain, like there is no benefit to what we are doing. Time and time again God reminds us in His Word that serving Him has never been in vain. Let us look at a few stories from the Bible that demonstrate this, so that you and I can be encouraged to keep serving God, and serve Him with all we have.  2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”  2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”  3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour ...

Overcoming the Enemies of Our Destinies

There are enemies ready and armed to prevent us from getting to our destinies. Wherever there is a vision, there is opposition.  Elisha was given by God to Elijah as a servant, and as a result he received a double portion of the anointing on Elijah's life, when Elijah left (2 Kings 2:15). God in turn gave Gehazi to Elijah as a servant, who sadly could not get to his destiny because he was overcome by the enemies of destiny (2 Kings 5:20-27).  As a Christian, be alert as there are enemies out to hinder you from getting to your destiny, and walking in it.  In John's open letter to the churches in Asia, John addresses these enemies: 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;...

Secrets of a Blessed Man

Let the Word of God always be your mirror, your map to lead you to your blessings. Though we are blessed through faith in Jesus, we need His Word to show us how to live a blessed life, and enjoy the blessings bestowed upon us. Psalm 112:1-10 Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroa...
