ARM OF FLESH

DAILY GRACE
SAT. 14TH MAY, 2016
TOPIC: ARM OF FLESH
TEXT: 2 Chr. 16:7-9
                                                  
Glorious weekend to you in the name of the Lord. The Lord will do you good and smile on you in Jesus name. Several Christians put their trust in many things aside from God, the Sovereign One. They simply tell you, it is wisdom, some call it  planning, some say it is normal.
However, whatever you call it, I ask, where do you put your trust and why do you put your whole trust in it? Are you sure won't be disappointed?   
 Well, from our text today, King Asa even though, had the account that he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done (1 Kgs. 15:11), still God had one thing against him.
His offence was that he put his trust or relied on the King of Aram to help him at his time of need (2 Chr.16:7).
This was a time he was facing a trying moment in his kingship and instead of turning to God for help, he sought for a fellow king to help him and God became angry at him and also judged him (2 Chr. 16:9). God judged him that war will not depart from him because of what he did.        
Are you also trusting your intellect, wisdom, power, armoury, insurance and putting confidence in money, people/friends or material things? The bible says, the arm of flesh will fail you. You need to put your total trust in God, the only one who can lift up your head (Psalms 121:2; 25:1-3, 1 Sam. 2:9).
What is that thing that you fear the most? just like King Asa feared the king of Israel (King Baashan) when he waged war against him and this got him afraid and made him took wrong decision of bribing king of Aram (King Ben-Hadad) with the treasuries of God's house so that he could support him to fight the king of Israel (1 Kgs. 15:18-20).

  Beloved, do not be overwhelmed by the challenge that is facing you, be calm in your spirit to take the right step.
Then involve God to fight for you, for He is a mighty man in battle and a man of war. He will fight for you and you will hold your peace (Exo. 14:14, 2 Chr. 20:20,30).
  When you allow God to fight for you, then you have peace and rest on every side (2 Chr. 20:30).
Trusting in the arm of flesh will fail you, for by strength shall no man prevail but absolute trust in God will pay you and give you sure victory.
 I encourage you to trust God solely, you can not regret you did. God bless you in Jesus name.

 Personal confession: Lord God my Father, l receive grace to trust you solely all my life. I will not trust in man in Jesus name.

Read, Reflect and Rebroadcast to bless someone God will bless you in return.
