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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
