To depend on unreliable things is to miss God' power .

God gave this powerful revelation to me early this morning .

Many Christians depend on unreliable things . God's desire is that we should rely on Him only . The reason is that God is the only absolutely reliable source that exist .God knows that our life's will never be completely pleasant and powerful while we still depend on unreliable things . God can never be unreliable . Once you have learned to depend on God only , your life will be filled with the power and Glory of God . Fear is the opposite of faith . Faith will reign in your life . Fear will be absent .

Israel found themselves in unreliable circumstances in Egypt . Pharaoh was completely unreliable as well . God's intention was to save and separate them from the powerful influence that the unreliable circumstances had on them . Unreliability is a powerful spiritual force that satan use to separate people from their inheritance of power and glory in Christ .

Unreliability will eat away your joy and hope and power that you have in Christ . It will hinder you severely to live out your God given vision . It will prevent you from having hope in your and your family's future . It will prevent you from loving people in a graceful and merciful way .

Unreliability is a very important aspect to understand . If your don't get a Godly understanding of it ,then you will struggle to have dominion over all circumstances . Every disappointment will hinder your faith to operate powerfully in your life . Unreliability causes uncertainty and fear . It brings hardship and pain . It is the cause of great losses in your life . It will make you to loose a lot of money and opportunities , because the fear and uncertainty that unreliability brings into your spiritual life , will cause you to make unwise and often very expensive mistakes .

“Lord Jesus Christ ,please open our eyes to understand the danger of relying ,consciously or sub-consciously on unreliable things” .

Jeremiah 17:5-8 BBE

(5) This is what the Lord has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.

(6) For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.

(7) A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

(8) For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

Israel was saved and taken away from unreliable people and circumstances by God . They however desired later on in their journey to the promised land ,the land of reliability , to go back to a life dependant on unreliable circumstances again . They made Aaron their strength ,they made a golden calf their strength and suffered severely because of it .

Power and joy and hope will come into your life and ministry once you understand unreliability and the effects thereof . Once you understand that people are unreliable . Once you understand that everything that does not come from God is unreliable . Once you understand that you must repent and ask God to forgive you for relying on unreliable circumstances and persons and not on Him alone .

God will always bring you to a point where you understand unreliability first , to a point where you feel the severe heat and effects of unreliability first , before He will open up the windows of heaven to shower you with constant power and joy and blessings from heaven .

You cannot have true life in Christ while you depend ,even only slightly on unreliable things . Decide today to take up your true life in Christ . It will bring you great joy and power . People who live without worries are cheerful givers again . You will stop to try and gather security and stability only for yourself and your family . There is no abundance and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit and righteousness in it . If you really live ,then you will rather give than gather . That will open up God's blessings for you . When you give ,even when you don't have abundance , it is a sign that you know that what you have came from God's reliable provision for you and not from unreliable people . Praise God !.

Malachi 3:10 BBE

(10) Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.

John the Baptist was a reliable witness at one stage in his life . John however fell into the trap of relying on a unreliable ,powerful man namely Herod . It literally cost him his head in the end . John took offence to the ministry of Jesus . It made him unstable in all his ways .

Mark 6:20 MSG

(20) because Herod was in awe of John. Convinced that he was a holy man, he gave him special treatment. Whenever he listened to him he was miserable with guilt--and yet he couldn't stay away. Something in John kept pulling him back.

Soon after these “favourable” conditions Herod made an unreliable statement and it caused John's death .

Mark 6:25-27 MSG

(25) Excited, she ran back to the king and said, "I want the head of John the Baptizer served up on a platter. And I want it now!"

(26) That sobered the king up fast. But unwilling to lose face with his guests, he caved in and let her have her wish.

(27) The king sent the executioner off to the prison with orders to bring back John's head. He went, cut off John's head,

Even the disciples of Jesus could initially ,before they were filled from above with the power of the Holy Spirit ,not make reliable observations and decisions . They still needed Jesus to teach them to be completely reliable in all circumstances themselves .

Jesus were reliable in all circumstances . When you are in the presence of Christ you can confidently rely on Him to meet all of your needs , even your physical needs . The disciples were unreliable in this respect ,but Jesus taught them that it is not right to let people down , whatever

the circumstances are .

Mark 6:34-44 MKJV

(34) And going out Jesus saw a large crowd. And He was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

(35) And it now becoming a late hour, His disciples came to Him and said, This is a deserted place and it is now a late hour.

(36) Send them away so that they may go to the surrounding fields and villages and buy loaves for themselves. For they have nothing to eat.

(37) He answered and said to them, You give them food to eat. And they said to Him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii of loaves and give them to eat?

(38) He said to them, How many loaves do you have? Go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fish.

(39) And He commanded them all to recline, group by group, on the green grass.

(40) And they reclined group by group, by hundred and by fifty.

(41) And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to Heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them. And He divided the two fish to all.

(42) And they all ate and were filled.

(43) And they took up twelve hand baskets full of fragments, also from the fish.

(44) And those eating the loaves were about five thousand men.

Open up your heart and allow God to teach you what real trust in Him are .

Be Blessed
