TRUST.

-
*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.* 

*Psalm:20.7* 
 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. .8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

--------------------------------------------
 Trust is the confidence and reliance on something, someone or a standard. Here within scripture, horses and chariots are used to mean physical things . Wealth, security, and people are examples of them. 

We are saved by the blood of the lamb ,and in yesterday's scripture we saw how Christ after having risen from the dead...gave us ultimate power including protection. However, even with such privilege as children of God, some have less confidence and less reliance on their spiritual Lord. They trust that accumulating wealth will save them in the times of trouble. They think that the people that they surround themselves with will rescue them when there is trouble. And that having such people will open new doors in their lives. They start to believe that having immense wealth will open opportunities for them, generate fame and great honour. They rely so much on their businesses that they have limited time for God.

It is not the physical qualities and wealth that will position you. It is God who positions one and demotes the other. It is not people who will protect. If God gave up on you, your life will be no more.

Trusting in such materials will only lead to disappointments. You will chase the future but never find it. Those that trust in horses will fall.
The trust in the Lord Jesus yields ultimate confidence. Those that trust Him will rise. The Lord who opens doors will open them. The Lord who makes the land green will make their land...I mean their lives green.
What have you over relied on. Is it your business that you over rely on?. Is it your wife , your husband, your children.? Is it your academics? If you have more thoughts for material things, for your business than thoughts for God, then your reliance is chariots.

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
