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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
