PREACHER: Elder Hon. Samuel Obodai

THEME: Trust God, Not Man

Text: jeremiah 17:5-7 ,Genesis 6:5 ,2 Samuel 11:3-4, Micah 7:5-7, Genesis 27 , James 4:13-15 ,Proverbs 3:5-6

God saw that the thoughts of man are continually evil. That is why anyone who puts his trust in man is cursed, but the one who puts his trust in God is blessed.

There are many instances that show the wickedness of man. One clear example is how David took Uriah’s wife and later arranged for her husband to be placed at the frontline of the battlefield so that he would be killed. This shows how human desires can lead to betrayal and destruction.

We are therefore warned not to put our trust in anyonewhether a friend, an agent, a pastor or even a husband or wife. People can fail, disappoint, and betray trust.

Isaac trusted his wife to be understanding and cooperative, yet that trust was broken. This teaches us that our confidence should not be placed in human beings but in the Lord alone.

A person’s enemies can sometimes come from within their own household. For this reason, we must look to the Lord and depend on Him fully.

We do not know what the future holds, so all our plans must be committed into the hands of God. We must trust Him completely in everything we do.

When we trust and obey the Lord, we are able to enjoy His love and blessings. Our trust must be in God alone, not in man.

Amen.
