CAN GOD TRUST YOU? Trust is firm believed in the ability of someone or something. It is also a strong believe or a strong faith in someone’s ability. Trust is believing in the promise of God and it is what we do because of the faith we have been given. Trust is not doubt, is not suspicion, is not betrayal, neither divulging important information. It is simply a believe that someone is reliable, honest, good, effective, etc. The word trust is the Bible means boldness, confidence, security, action based on security.   Faith is the gift of God. Zeph. 2:8 – 9, Luke 16:10. Many of us does not have the fear of God. Fear of God creates trust in the heart of someone that can be trusted as well as someone who desires to trust. 1.       Analysis in the Bible shows that Joseph found favour in the eyes of Portifer. Portifar trusted him and brought him, yet Joseph did not betray the trust He put in him, even, when Portifar’s wife tried to seduce him. 2.       God trusted Job, He di

"Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children for men!" Psalm 107:8. On my daily commute to an fro of work, i have much time for reading bumper stickers on cars, that is. Some are surely, others clever, and still others downright distasteful. One bumper stickers i saw recently, however, gently challenged my heart about the way we often engage life. The sticker simply said, "Too Blessed To Complain:|. I must confess that i felt convicted as i pondered those words. Too often you may find yourself lamenting moments in life that things don't go  your way, rather than focusing on the wonderful gifts which our heavenly father has given us. The reading of that simply message on that day brought to me a re newed commitment more actively and intentionally grateful because my God has been good to me in more ways than i could ever count.   Psalm 107 is a song that seeks  to rectify thankless thinking.

INTRODUCTION Prayer is one of the most misunderstood arts of the human experience, yet it is meant to be one of the most exciting aspects of a life of faith. It is not just an activity, a ritual, or an obligation. It is communion and communication that touches God’s heart. It is the expression of man’s relationship with God and participation in his purposes. Certain people have lost their faith altogether, because of unanswered prayer. Some have turned to philosophy, metaphysics, or cults to find answers to life’s questions and problems. Others have turned to horoscopes, psychic hotlines, and witchcraft. The spiritual and emotional pain of unanswered prayer can be deep and overwhelming. STRATEGIES FOR PROBLEMS SOLVING PRAYERS 1.                   1.     PRAY FAITHFULLY To be faithful means to be filled with faith. Start praying to the same God that raised Jesus from the dead by the Holy Spirit. If God is able to do that, then He is able to raise your dead life, dead dr

The road to genuine happiness begins with faith that God is here. No unbeliever can rejoicefully say, “Thank God I am an unbeliever.” “ Happy are the people whose God is their Lord ! ” (Ps 144:15). It’s true. “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God” (Psalm 146:5). “... whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he” (Proverbs 16:20). When God is our Lord, we have laid the foundation for true happiness. It is for this reason that the materialist never reaches for that which he or she strives. Someone once said, “Be poor and sleep well or be rich and sleepless.” If we make riches from other gods, it will not bring the serendipity of a good night’s rest. If God is our Lord, we will have the peace of mind that passes all understanding. Paul wrote, “Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding wil
