RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER.
TRUST LIKE A CHILD
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
Being trusting isn’t the same as being gullible, and recognising this distinction is essential because there’re gullible people who think they’re trusting.
To be gullible means to be easily deceived. But children aren’t easily deceived; they’re usually trusting. They trust your character. Adults, however, can be gullible. An adult will try to reason out whatever he’s told before he trusts it, and he may not give much concern to the character of the one he’s trusting.
If you hold out a child from the balcony, for example, and ask someone else whom the child trusts to stay at the ground-floor and catch him, the child will be ready to let go because he trusts the one at the ground floor. The child may not know if the fellow downstairs has the power or ability to catch him, but he believes he wouldn’t let him fall. That’s the kind of childlike faith you’re to have towards God.
The Lord Jesus admonished in Matthew 18:3 (AMPC) that we be like little children, “…[trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving]….” He wants you to trust the character of God. His character is made plain in the Word; He never fails. Boldly place your confidence in Him to fulfil His purpose in your life.
Sometimes, many try to “help” God out in doing what He intends. Perhaps, He’s given you a vision or ministered some ideas to you relating to your purpose, and you’re so excited and eager to see everything work out, which is good! But if you’re not trusting and yielded to the Holy Spirit, you may try to play “God.” You may be playing His role by trying to help Him in your own wisdom. But the end result won’t be pleasant.
The best of all is to trust that He alone knows and has the blueprint for your life. Take a cue from Abraham who trusted and followed the Lord even though He didn’t know where God was leading Him. The Bible says, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went” (Hebrews 11:8).
PRAYER
Dear Father, I live my life, trusting you wholeheartedly in all things, leaning on your Word and acting on your instructions. I commit my plans, aspirations and desires to you, being fully convinced that you’re more interested in, and passionate for my success than I could ever be, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

KINDLY SAY THESE WORDS OUT LOUD.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for my spirit is trained and energized by Your Word to hear and discern Your voice as You lead me in glory, and righteousness.
Thank You for Your Spirit who guides me to make the right and necessary changes required for my next level of success and promotion in life.
Through Your Word, wisdom is granted me to function excellently, and I live a fruitful and effective life
in righteousness.
Thank You for the Name of Jesus is named upon me, and Your divine life that has completely inundated my entire being – spirit, soul, and body!
That life in me makes me supernatural, and impregnable to sickness, disease, failure, death, and the devil.
I thank You for giving me power and authority over all devils, to cast them out, and to cure all diseases! I am eternally grateful for the victory of Jesus over the devil and the entire host of darkness, which was
for my sake.
Satan has no place in my home, my body and my finances. Jesus is Lord of all that concerns me. Hallelujah.
Today. I bring forth good things from within me because I have an excellent mind. I have insight into mysteries and secrets; thus, I bring forth creative ideas because Christ has been made unto me wisdom.
I initiate success, victory, and prosperity from within, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
God bless you
