TOPIC: IT IS FRUITLESS TO TRUST IN MAN AND PRINCES          
Text: Jeremiah 17:5-8
Key verse: Psalm 118:8, 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Redirect your confidence from man to God. Are you putting confidence in your relations and perhaps your spouse? That is why you missed it. Put your confidence in your God. No matter the love your spouse has for you, he or she is capable of disappointing you. She is capable of going back on her promise to you. Trust in God rather than putting your confidence in man, for vain is the help of man.

Man may make promise today and not be available to fulfill it tomorrow. He may promise to employ you in the office, but a higher power may remove him from office before he fulfills the promise. Man may even tell you something in sweet tongue to deceive you. He may make a promise with sincerity but may become incapacitated and unable to fulfill it. Circumstances have just changed and he himself is now looking for help. That is why you should put your trust in God alone. May be your eyes are on great people of stature, who are highly placed in your family or outside your family. Know this truth that great men often have great problems too.
You may go to hospital with full confidence in the medical doctor and brag, “This is a Consultant Surgeon of many years’ experience. Therefore, as I go for this surgery it shall be safe and perfectly done.” Don’t say so. The Lord is rather saying you should put your confidence in Him for your healing and safety. Is that expert surgeon not capable of making mistakes? Your life is not under the control of that man. God is the one controlling it. It is God that determines who lives or dies. Only God heals. That doctor can even be manipulated by Satan to your harm. External circumstances can overcome and manipulate his mind. If you have any dealing with man, put your confidence in God, not man. Even as you relate with material things, like your motorcycles and vehicles, do not trust in the soundness of the engine because it can disappoint you terribly during the journey. Trust in the living God for the wellbeing of that vehicle as you embark on that journey.

Thought for the day: Lord Jesus, I commit all in your care. 
Song for the day: Unto Thee O Lord, do I lift up my soul…
Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 22-23; Mark 1:1-22

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
