Knowing Who To Depend On In 2014

We are still in the new year celebration mood and I know the resolutions and plans we made for 2014 are still fresh. Most of us have no idea of where the resources to achieve what we desire will come from. Worse still we have even carried the disappointments of 2013 to 2013.  Today 

I have a word of encouragement.

Approximately 90% of Kenyans are Christians but very few of us display traits of true believers. We have lost our faith and have instead focused on our ability which is a perfect recipe for disappointment.

Today let us remember the one we serve. David was a man of faith and it is because of this that he was able to face Goliath.

“Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” 1Sam17:45

Another man of faith was Job. He remained faithful to God even when everything was taken away from him. God rewarded him by multiplying his wealth and even gave him the most beautiful daughters that have ever been seen in the face of the earth.

“So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters.” Job 42:12-13

I am sure you have not gone through what Job or David faced so you have no reason to lose your faith. The Bible says, “They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abides for ever”  Psalm125:1.

My message today is, put your trust in the Lord and all your needs and wants shall be met. Stop worrying too much about things you have no control over.

“But seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient  to the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 7:33-34.
