DECIDING TO COMPLETELY TRUST GOD 

Pr. James Victor Lubwama

Psalms 125:1 (AMP)

“Those who trust in and rely on the LORD [with confident expectation] Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever.”

As Christians, we should learn to trust God and to let go of things and situations that we have entrusted with Him; trusting and believing that He will work it out for us. Just like a child trusts and relies on his father’s promise without minding how the father will have to strive to make it happen, we God’s children should also learn to trust our heavenly father. The bible clarifies our status as children in Galatians 3:26 (TLB) says; “For now we are all children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.”

God can never fail to make His purpose and plan for your life come to pass. Isaiah 14:24 (NIV) affirms; “…Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.” God is in control of our destinies and when He says yes, no one can say no and vice versa.

Believe God for divine provision and intervention. If we believe in the rapture and the power that lifted prophet Elijah without meeting physical death, if we believe in the resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead, our faith should be lifted and believe that God will breathe life into your dead situation. When you trust God, you rest; if He has spoken, he will also bring it to pass; even if it seems so impossible like in the case of Lazarus coming back to life, let your hope be anchored in Him regardless of the storm or terrifying situation. God asks in Jeremiah 32:27 (TLB); “I am  the Lord, the God of all mankind; is there anything too hard for me?”  Of course nothing is too hard for the God of heaven and earth, with Him all are possible.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (AMPC) says; “[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.”

Why People Struggle

Many Christians struggle in marriage, work, business and ministry because they never seek counsel of the Lord to Know His will and plan towards their life. Its true God blesses the works of your hands but it does not mean that you will profit from anything – God is a God of purpose and He is specific. There is something that God ordained and purposed just for you. There is a right partner; job, career, ministry and business for you and with God’s blessing you will succeed.

What should a believer do?

          Before you start any project, seek God's counsel and direction. You will then know if that project or decision has God’s hand in it.

•    Maintain your line of specialty e.g. business, service provision etc. and develop that to maturity. You cannot be a jack of all trades. Do not try to do too many projects at once because you will fail, but only diversify in something related to what you are doing.
•      Have a functional relationship with God and your pastors for quick consultations, guidance and spiritual covering.
•          Don’t be quick to accept defeat or failure but always seek guidance from spiritual superiors.
•      Listen to the word through sermons, prophecies & read the bible. The word comes with 3 things; Faith, anointing & creating power.

We were called to be kings; to be heads not tails we succeed at what we do because of God, let us trust him and be confident in him, that’s how we shall be able to make it.

Trust God, let go and let Him take control
