Noble Dependence


 

"Dependence"! An evil word to our generation. Our generation is one who strives for independence. We want to be independent from our parents, we want to be independent from church, we want to be independent from our spouses, we want to be independent from any form of laws or restraint. Independence and freedom are the buzzwords of our generation and we do all in our power to achieve such independence at the expense of all relationships. But where did the drive for independence come from? And who was the first to strive for it ?

Our topic for today

Lucifer, a son of God got tired of being dependent on God, He got tired of being a child of God and desired to be like God Himself, to be his own God, to take care of himself, to seek counsel of himself and to lead his life according to how he sees fit, in one Word Lucifer sought independence from God 😮. And he taught our first parents the same thing, telling Eve she can become like God by disobeying God. Telling Eve that she didn't need God to tell her what is right and wrong, but she can chose for herself what is right and wrong. Telling Eve she didn't need to wait on her husband before she made a serious decision but that she can make decisions herself and ate of the tree.

The Devil taught Eve to be independent from God, from her husband and to do what is right in her own eyes. And what was the result of Eve's independence movement 🤔? Alienation from God, strife between her and husband, the spirit of accusation was born ,she and her husband were banished from paradise. Adam and Eve's independence movement brought death to their relationship with God and with each other. Cain sought independence from God and he killed his brother. Went away from God's presence. The spirit of independence originated from Satan himself. The more we seek independence from God, the more lonely and miserable we will become.

Dependence upon God is the only way to peace and everlasting blessings. If we want to enjoy life, we must become as little children. Little children depend on their parents for everything, we must become dependent upon God for everything. A little child ask their parents for food, clothes , toys etc.. we must go to God when looking for a job, a spouse, a home etc.. Dependence upon God reveals we are His children and the Lord will reveal Himself to be our loving Father. Those who seek to be independent in life will never see the need to fully rely on God

When we choose not to depend on Jesus, we will find ourselves dependent on someone else or something else. A job, a man, a woman, a friend and these even with the best of intentions will fail you, the only One you can depend on for sure is the Lord Jesus. Dependence upon God is noble. To depend upon God is to find peace, rest for your soul. Friends, let not follow the counsel of Satan and seek to lead our own lives, but let us daily pray Lord lead my life, guide my steps, humble me and help to have a child like spirit, for you are my Father and I am your child. Independence leads to ruin, but dependence upon God leads to life everlasting. Lord help me to always depend on you, my fortress and my Rock  🙏🏾

Matthew 18:3
 
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

A new Constantine: Will Trump become more religious ?

 On October 28, 312 AD, the battle of the Milvian bridge took place between Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Rome was in the midst of a civil war . Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments. Daniel 8:21 Speak : is how a nation create laws, a nation speaks by its laws So now that we have these definitions, let us go and see which nation on earth that the Bible speaks of during the end of times. There is only one super power nation coming out from an...
