Abraham’s Trust: God Teaches Kings

๐ŸŒฟ “Abraham’s Trust: God Teaches Kings” ๐Ÿ“– Text: Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.” 1️⃣ Abraham Trusted in the Lord, Not in Man When God called Abraham, He said, “Leave your country and your people and go to the land I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1) Abraham didn’t know where he was going — but he trusted the One who called him. That is real faith — when you don’t know the path, but you know the Shepherd. ๐Ÿ‘‰ True trust is not about knowing what will happen, but knowing Who is in control. 2️⃣ Abraham Faced Fear, Yet God Remained Faithful When Abraham went down to Egypt, he told Pharaoh that Sarah was his sister (Genesis 12:10–20). From a human perspective, it looked like a mistake — perhaps even fear. But even in that weakness, Abraham did not lose his trust that God would protect him and his wife. And what did God do? God Himself intervened. He warned Pharaoh in dreams and sent plagues upon his house. Pharaoh...

Trusting God Above All — Even in Marriage

  “Trusting God Above All — Even in Marriage” ๐Ÿ“– Text: Jeremiah 17:5–7 Introduction We live in a world built on relationships — husband and wife, parent and child, friend and friend. Trust is the foundation of every relationship. But the Bible reminds us that our deepest trust must not rest in man — not even in the person we love the most — but in God alone. Jeremiah, the prophet, gives us a clear contrast: “Cursed is the man that trusteth in man... Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord.” He shows us that where we put our trust determines what kind of life we experience — barren or fruitful. Point 1: The Danger of Misplaced Trust (v.5–6) “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” Jeremiah doesn’t mean we shouldn’t trust people at all. He means we must not depend on them as our ultimate source of strength, comfort, or identity. Sometimes, in marriage or family, we begin to think: “If only m...

Ephesians 5:33

 Ephesians 5:33 (KJV) says: “Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” ๐Ÿ”น Explanation This verse is Paul’s summary of the marriage teaching in Ephesians 5:22–32 — a divine blueprint for a godly home. 1. “Let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself” The husband is commanded to love his wife with the same care, honor, and selflessness that he gives to himself. It’s not a suggestion; it’s a sacred duty . This love is agapฤ“ — unconditional, sacrificial, and consistent. It mirrors how Christ loves the Church — not based on perfection, but on covenant. When a husband loves his wife like this, she feels safe, valued, and secure . 2. “And the wife see that she reverence her husband” The wife is instructed to reverence (respect) her husband — the Greek word phobeo here means to honor, to value, to hold in esteem . This doesn’t mean fear or bli...

When God Says ‘I AM’ — No One Can Stop What He Begins

 “When God Says ‘I AM’ — No One Can Stop What He Begins” Scripture Text: Exodus 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM : and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Introduction There are moments in life when people doubt you, question your journey, or fail to understand the favor on your life. But when God decides to bless you, you don’t need to explain yourself — because the blessing itself will testify. Why? Because the One who blesses you is the Great I AM. He is not limited by time, people, systems, or opinions. He simply is . 1. God Is Self-Existent — He Needs No Permission When God told Moses, “I AM THAT I AM,” He revealed His eternal nature. He doesn’t say, “I was” or “I will be” — He says, “I AM.” That means: He doesn’t wait for circumstances to align. He doesn’t depend on human approval. He doesn’t need to explain His actions to anyone. So when He chooses to bless you, no one can question why...
