THE BENEFITS OF LOOKING UNTO GOD
SCRIPTURE: “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD” – Jeremiah 17:5.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: For as long as a man looks unto another man, frustration continues.
From our anchor Scripture above, we see clearly that it is not a blessing for a man to put his trust in another man, it is rather a curse. To look up to man is to go down in frustration.
It is true that many people have been in church for donkey years, but their lives have not changed for the better, because they have given the place of God in their lives to man.
Beloved, the worst that can happen to a person is to trust in a fellow mortal man. That man could be yourself either because of your qualification, connection or riches. It could also be a system, an organization, a government or even a very “big” anointed man of God.
For as long as a man looks unto another man, frustration continues.
The frightening thing today is that, some people believe in encountering a man of God more than encountering God. I have heard people say, “Just let me encounter you, and my problem will be over.” Such statements are not only sacrilegious but very annoying to God.
Some people believe more in the touch of a man of God than the touch of God, while others believe more in the word of a man of God than the Word of God. What an error!
Beloved, there is no other way to succeeding on earth and with God other than looking up to God alone. It is either God or God!
Remember this: For as long as man looks unto another man, frustration continues.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Get the recommended message for today (Succeeding with God) and listen to it.
2. Consciously decide to trust God on all issues of your life.
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: SUCCEEDING WITH GOD.
PRAYER: LORD, I ask for mercy in any area I have trusted in man. I receive the grace, O LORD, to trust You even when I can’t trace You, in Jesus’ Name.
