MY FRIENDS, “WE CAN TRUST THE MAN WHO DIED FOR US”

MY FRIENDS, “WE CAN TRUST THE MAN WHO DIED FOR US”

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!” Psalm 84:11-12

“O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!” “A television program preceding the 1988 Winter Olympics featured blind skiers being trained for slalom skiing, impossible as that sounds. Paired with sighted skiers, the blind skiers were taught on the flats how to make right and left turns.

When that was mastered, they were taken to the slalom slope, where their sighted partners skied beside them shouting, “Left!” and “Right!” As they obeyed the commands, they were able to negotiate the course and cross the finish line, depending solely on the sighted skiers’ word. It was either complete trust or catastrophe.”

My friends, Like the blind skiers, we must obey the commands of Christ voice as we negotiate the course on this journey He has placed us on, as we now enter the threshold of the Promise land, as we move towards going across, every step along the way through our faith and endurance we must continue to repeat the words “I can trust the Man who died for me”

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore..” Psalm 125:1-2 (ESV)

That is why we must place our trust only on the solid rock, and foundation of Jesus Christ simply because He does not Change. Soon my friends everyone in this world would have heard the good news of the gospel and all of prophecy would have been fulfilled.

Today as we look at the world we live in “Babylon the great is fallen…and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

In addition, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” Rev. 18:1-3 (NKJV) My friends we can allow the god of this world to interpret those words to you any way you would like to here them.

But I pray “you will trust the Man who died for each of us” and begin to live your life accordingly as you “throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And…run with perseverance the race marked out for us” Heb. 12:1 (NIV)

Christ still extends His grace to His Children today. Like Peter who saw the Master walking on water, said “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You, and Christ did. But when Peter saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”  Trust my friends, there can never be any doubt “trust the Man who died for your sins”

“For one will scarcely die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:7-8 (ESV)

trust and faith are identical twins, both demanding a attitude of total confidence, and mental fortitude in what an unseen being that we as Christians call God, Master, the Good Shepherd, Jehovah, can do and will do for us in all situations and circumstances of our life.

But if, those two words that was spoken by the three Hebrews who were facing annihilation in a fiery furnace, those two words we must forever keep in our vocabulary. But if,  His voice is silent at times, that is all right also because our faith allows us to totally “trust the Man who died for each of us” on Calvary and if we do, our salvation and life eternal is secured, if we continue to have faith and endure to the end.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
