Why Be Worried or Afraid?

So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. 
What can man do to me?"
Hebrews 13.6

When it comes to our relationship with God, trust is essential. Many times people say that they believe in God; they know He is Almighty; they sacrifice to Him; they give their offerings and tithe to Him. However, they do not Trust in Him. How do you know if you trust in God? Easy. When you go through unexpected events in your life, when you face challenges, problems, or barriers, your reactions/thoughts/behaviour will determine whether or not your trust is in Him. 

Because if you trust that He is with you, why would you need to be stressed out about a situation? Why would you be worried or scared about what will happen? Why would you shed tears because of a problem? 

If you sacrifice to God, you obey Him, you serve Him, you tithe and give your offering, you believe in Him; but you don't trust Him, then none of what your doing will bring results in your life. 

Trust in God because if He is with you, what can man, what can the devil do to you?

Alone with God




22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

Genesis 32:22-26


When Jacob wrestles with God, he did not have his possessions, protection, nor the women he loved. He was alone with God and it was at that moment that God appeared to Him.

Because when we have people, objects, and other distractions, we don't have the revolt to seek God with our all. Why? Because we have all those things to fall back on.

When we are alone, when we have no friends, no boyfriend/girlfriend, possessions, nothing to hold on to, its at this moment in our life when we say "God, if you are not with me, if you do not bless me, I am lost". We either put all our trust in God, or were lost.

Take advantage of this Campaign, and be alone with God and do not let Him go until He blesses you.
