God Can Be Trusted


Let me begin this short piece by welcoming you to a new year. I pray that this year will be the year of the fulfillment of your greatest desires from God, and the Almighty will cause you to ride on high places.


I want you to set the course for the year with a strong phrase line - God can be trusted. Undoubtedly, everyone at some point in life have been at that place where you were believing God for something, and you seem not to have gotten it. Those kinds of experiences present a unique opportunity for the devil to attempt to subtly convince you of God’s inability and unwillingness to meet your desires, but you must never give in to those thoughts.


The bible says in Proverbs 3 verse 5, Trust in the Lord with all your heart. if you are not trusting in Him with all your heart, there will be room for doubts. The devil will always take advantage of your doubts to further destroy your faith and ability to trust in God completely.


When you desire something from God, and you do not receive it, the first thing should not be that you begin to doubt God, rather the first thing should be to search if you are doing it right. You may desire something from God and not have the perfect knowledge on how to receive it, but many times, rather than thinking this way and searching for where and how to make the necessary adjustments, you may just find yourself in the place of doubt, which is exactly where the devil wants you to be.


To come to this place where you are trusting in God absolutely, you must first make a quality decision by the help of the Holy Spirit to trust God regardless of the situation. This is a position of complete abandonment in the hands of God, knowing that God cares for you far better than you could ever care for yourself. That quality decision will keep you steady in the midst of uncertainties, and some failures that you may experience on the journey, but you will find it easier to trust more in God as you progress. I should also add that this is not necessarily something that you will achieve all at once or in one week or month, but it will become easier as you get along.


This year make that quality decision to trust absolutely in God, He can be trusted with everything, yes, everything!


There will certainly be challenges but none of them will be uncommon to man, and if God allows them to come your way, it means you can deal with them.


Brace up yourself for a new and fresh start, and with this assurance that every high place before you will become a level plain, and every crooked path with straighten out for you as you put your absolute trust in God.


Your time has started counting already, make the best use of it, and always remember – GOD CAN BE TRUSTED!

See you on the other end of the year.

Find Your Place and Stay There

Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. Prov.27:8 (NIV) One of the greatest advantages you can have in life is to find your place early and stay there. The challenges of life come to us all, but you may just find it so overwhelming when you are not in your place, as compared to the person who has found their place. I am sure that you have come across one or two persons in life who excel and have an utter sense of fulfilment in what they do in life. It doesn’t have to be really big sometimes, but you can tell that they are in their place, where they should actually be. You may also have come across some persons whom you will consider clear misfits where they are, and in what they do. The latter set of people are most likely not to be prospering as they should, or I should say, they have potential to prosper more, if they find their place and stay there. The same is true about your life. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you ar...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...
