WHERE/WHOM DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST? (IN SEEKING ETERNITY)

JUNE 29TH – CAPSULE 29 

TOPIC: WHERE/WHOM DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST? (IN SEEKING ETERNITY) 

BIBLE TEXT: PSALM 20 VS 7 – Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD, our God.


Trust is a simple word with great depths. To trust is to have a firm belief, in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something. The psalmist via meditation and by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit remembered when the Egyptians trusted in their calvary and troops and how they all drowned in the red sea. And how Israel trusted the Lord and He gave them victories and the promise land. This shows and instructs men on whom to trust. 

Because who you trust or what you put your trust in will determine how far you go and the results of your destiny. The young man that approached Jesus Christ in Mark 10 vs 17-25 came to Him to seek eternal life and when he heard the truth he could not trust the word of God anymore because it was not convenient for him. He expected only the ten commandments and not the instructions that came directly from Christ. And he went away from Christ grieved (with intense sorrow). This man had sold his soul to his wealth and earthly possessions that his trust was on his riches. Christ  revealed this truth to his disciples in Mark 10 vs 24. This revelation shows the way to eternal life is to trust in Christ and obey every instruction and commands given to you. 

When faced with difficulties will you remember the Lord first? or will you put trust in your wealth? Or in man? The psalmist said; we will remember the name of the LORD, our God.


Prayer: Lord, I put my trust in your words teach me to know you more in Jesus name.

Insight: When faced with all manner of situations, remember the Lord your God.

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...
