The man who trusts in man…The man who trusts in the Lord,
“Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:5-8(NKJV)
The difference is quite clear.
Your Trust is in man or in the Lord God Almighty.
When your Trust is in man, you take your focus off God.
You do things based on your connections.
There is no guarantee that man delivers on his promise.
They tell you “circumstances beyond their control” happened.
The arm of the flesh indeed fails. (1 Samuel 2:9)
However, when your Trust in the Lord
His Promises based on His Word never fails.
You experience the Peace of God regardless of the challenges.
You receive divine wisdom and instructions daily as you ask Him.
You are not moved or confused by what people say.
How are you handling that situation today?
Take a moment to check yourself out.
Trusting in man or Trusting in the Lord ?.

I will show you a mountain…
“Some years later, God decided to test Abraham, so he spoke to him. Abraham answered, “Here I am, LORD.” The LORD said, “Go get Isaac, your only son, the one you dearly love! Take him to the land of Moriah, and I will show you a mountain where you must sacrifice him to me on the fires of an altar.” So Abraham got up early the next morning and chopped wood for the fire. He put a saddle on his donkey and left with Isaac and two servants for the place where God had told him to go.” Genesis 22:1-3(CEV)
God guides specifically.
When God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a form of test, he was specific.
We must learn daily to hear instructions from God.
Even though God told him to go to the Land of Moriah, there was a specific mountain.
In the land of Moriah, there were different mountains.
The specific one was the one that had the substitute ram already caught.
Imagine Abraham settling down on any mountain he liked.
Have you considered that he did not choose the convenient mountain?
Neither was it recorded that he chose the nearest one.
We must constantly learn to hear God and receive Grace to carry out the specific.
God first told Moses to strike the rock.
“Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.” (Exodus 17:6 ESV)
Later on in His wisdom, he told him the second time to speak to the rock.
“Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water. So you shall bring water out of the rock for them and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.” Numbers 20:8 (ESV)
Mosses got it wrong the second time.
Instead of speaking, he struck the rock( Numbers 20:9-12.
Are you where God told you to be?
When you offer your sacrifice where your friends can see and hail you, your miraculous provisions may be pretty challenging.
Are you doing what God has told you to do?
Are you too familiar with God or allow the people’s provocation to make you do the wrong thing?
There is no shortcut with God.
Learn to hear and do what HE specifically directed.
Abraham went to the place God told him to go.
Again ask your self are you really where God has told you to be?

But when everyone was asleep,
“But when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and ran away. When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, the weeds also appeared. So the farmer’s hired hands came to him and said, ‘Sir, wasn’t that good seed that you sowed in the field? Where did all these weeds come from?’ “He answered, ‘This has to be the work of an enemy!’ “They replied, ‘Do you want us to go and gather up all the weeds?’ “‘No,’ he said. ‘If you pull out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat at the same time. Let them both grow together until the harvest. At that time, I’ll tell my harvesters to gather the weeds first and tie them all in bundles to be burned. Then they will harvest the wheat and put it into my barn.'” Matthew 13:25-30(TPT)
But when everyone was asleep.
But while everyone was sleeping
But while he was sleeping
But while people were asleep
But while men slept
It ranges from “everyone” to the specific “men.”
It shows that the enemy of our soul has always been strategic, deceptive, and cunningly wise.
However, ranging from the church to the specific member, the general tendency is to always react.
In Matthew chapter 13, there are seven parables, and all of them are pretty insightful.
Some are for the multitudes.
Many more are for the disciples.
The question today is, are you reacting to a situation like a farmer’s hired hand?
Do you have an understanding like the real farmer?
What is happening around you now?
As an induvial, as a nation, and to the entire world.
Parables contain hidden things that need spiritual understanding.
Don’t just keep reacting to situations.
Find out from God first what is going on?
Receive understanding.
Have the knowledge of God’s word.
Gain wisdom.
Gain understanding,
Make the right choices.
Draw closer to God.
“The fountain of life flows from you to satisfy me. In your light of holiness, we receive the light of revelation.” Psalm 36:9(TPT)
Let the light of God guide you.

Just as He Said.
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.” Matthew 28:6(NIV)
Right from creation, everything happened, just as He said.
God said let there be in Genesis 1, and it has been so till today.
God has taught us in so many ways in the scriptures that we have to say what we believe in our hearts, and we see it come to pass.
It’s significant to remember in this season of celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus that this Resurrection happened :
JUST AS HE SAID.
What are you saying today, Especially about your destiny?
Jesus spoke what His purpose in life was about, and at every point, He confessed what the father has said about Him.
Again the great takeaway from the just-concluded Easter season is:
It all happened as HE said it would.
Say words that are in line with your purpose in life.
No matter the challenges you are facing, say only His words that line up with your life.
Never speak negatively about your purpose in life.
Make positive confessions at all times.
Remember the Shunammite woman? (2Kings 4)
She experienced the Resurrection of her son.
Jesus Himself said positive words about the dead Lazarus.
He was brought back to life.
Whatever appeared dead in your situation speak life to it in Jesus’s name.
The path to the cross was filled with purposeful challenges.
At each point, Jesus spoke precisely what was required.
During the temptation, He told satan that man shall not live by bread alone but by the word of God.
He emphasized and encouraged us to speak to our destiny.
No matter the area of your life, look for the word of God and say it over the situation.
In healing, say By His stripes, you are healed.
He wishes above all that you are healthy and prosperous.
That’s what you should always say to yourself.

“You are busy analyzing the Scriptures, frantically poring over them in hopes of gaining eternal life. Everything you read points to me, yet you still refuse to come to me so I can give you the life you’re looking for—eternal life!” John 5:39-40(TPT)
Religion always likes to analyze the scriptures leaving out the critical subject of the Savior.
Jesus Christ’s life and purpose is to redeem man through the path of the Cross.
This Passion week started with Palm Sunday yesterday.
We again start the celebration of Easter.
Which is about His Death and Resurrection.
Many would love to have Christ without the Cross.
The Cross involves being able to say as Jesus did :
“… for the ruler of this dark world is coming. But he has no power over me, for he has nothing to use against me. I am doing exactly what the Father destined for me to accomplish so that the world will discover how much I love my Father. Now come with me.”
John 14:30-31 (TPT)
How is your personal relationship with God?
Can you say, like Jesus did, that the enemy has nothing to use against you?
Are you doing exactly what the Father has instructed you to do?
” from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” 1 Chronicle 12:32 (NIV)
Yes, we are in the end times.
Antichrist is at work:
However, bigger and better.
The Holy Spirit is also working and always ahead.
Are you ready for the Rapture?
Share with someone today about the Love of God.
It was His Love that took Him to the Cross.
Do not live in fear; that’s never God’s way.
Easter is about the demonstration of God’s Power.
God’s Power through the Cross Conquered sin.
“…Jesus said, “I was born a King, and I have come into this world to prove what truth really is. And everyone who loves the truth will receive my words.” John 18:37 (TPT)
The Truth and the Power are in the Death and Resurrection of the Savior.
“I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s Power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense Power as it works through you! This is the mighty Power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!”
Ephesians 1:19-20(TPT)
Are you an advertisement of His Power?
As you celebrate this Easter Season, let your life demonstrate the Power of God.

Walk away from your sin.
“A short time later, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “Look at you now! You’re healed! Walk away from your sin so that nothing worse will happen to you.” John 5:14(TPT)
Walk away from your sin.
Go and sin no more.
Stop sinning.
Are you walking in the Spirit Daily to ensure that you live victoriously?
Living under Grace is no excuse to continue in sin.
“ Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the Grace of God. What are we to do, then? Should we sin to our hearts’ content since there’s no law to condemn us anymore? What a terrible thought! “
Romans 6:14-15(TPT)
Again Jesus told the woman of Samaria Go and sin no more. (John8:11)
As you walk with God remember the Greater one lives in you.
Therefore live like an overcomer.
No excuses to continue to live in sin.
No sin too big for God not to be able to forgive you.
None so tiny that you will hide it from God and say it does not matter.
God sees everything and knows everything.
He has given You the ability to go and sin no more.
Call upon Him.
Confess all to Him.
Will you?
Yes, you can walk away from your sin.
