THE ESSENCE OF TRUST

               It is often said that "trust no man, only God not even yourself or your brother" As good as this statement may seem; I could say that, it is but incomplete. Yes! even the Bible decleared "put your trust in no man" what that means is 'you shall have (worship) no other god apart from the Lord your God' (Exe. 20:3). Now lets reason together, the statement  Jesus made " trust in God, trust also in Me" (John 14:1). Is as if to say; look I know you may believe in God , but its not complete. Therefore, believe (that is; TRUST), also in Me. And there are several pluses attached to doing that. The key amongst them is SALVATION of the soul.
               Truely, trust in God is inevitable. Trust in Jesus Christ as we will all agree is inevitable too- this is so because, Jesus Christ Himself is God. He built and established people, men with His aunction to function. Ambassedors, trustworthy  representatives for Christ, who bring the gospel to people the way God wants it done. Hence, these people/christians, are also to be trusted. Not just  for the purpose of taking and talking Christ to people as the gospel demands, but also trusting to provide other basic needs. These needs may include but not limited to; intercession (1 Timothy 2:1 & Isaiah 53:12), prophesying, provision of necessaries such as education, shelter, food among others (1 Cor. 1:9). A man of God once said; "children of God (that is christians), are not Heaven but gate to Heaven"  These gates are also to be trusted as representatives of Christ on the Earth; as God in His wisdom is always raising men for the Harvest.
               Consequenty, there are people you must not trust (since trust is the greated asset a man has), these are those without direction, purpose and focus-more often than not, the Devil whenever he sees someone who has no direction, he directly or indirectly gives the person negative direction. Essentially, people need to trust God (always) and the people He has given mandate to represent Him on Earth.
               One may ask, how do I know those who truely represent God, seeing that the days are evil? Good, the Bible states that by thier fruits we shall know them. and so, assess them by thier fruits and pray for Holy Spirit to guide you in doing it. Amen and God bless.
Decleration: Lord, I thank you for your Holy Spirit that you've given to guide me in trusting you and the people that are truely representing you on Earth. I declear that, am fron now onward meeting geniune peole in my ministry, organisation, family, and career. in Jesus' name.
