ABSOLUTE DEPENDANCE ON GOD

When we were little children our total dependance was on our parents; we really depend on them for everything and whatever they tell us is the gospel truth because we have no reason to doubt them. We feel secure and safe with our parents and we are always afraid when we search for them and find them not. We cry bitterly whenever they are out of sight and rejoice when we see them; we don't question the food they feed us with nor the water they gave us to drink because we believe they cannot harm us. We cleave to them and refuse to let them out of our sight because we consider them dependable. That is exactly how God wants us to relate with Him; He wants us to feel the same way about Him. We are called the children of the high God because that is how He sees our relationship, that means those who take instruction from God. Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea

As time goes by our relationship with our parents will no longer be as usual because we are expected to grow and mature and then move on with our lives. As soon as we are able to differentiate what is wrong and right the trust will diminish and we will begin to form our own opinion. As a toddler we asked so many silly questions out of curiosity and expected an answer from our parents and whatever they told us will be our belief. Sometimes we take them off guard and they just try to explain what they think we should know and keep the truth away from us because they think we are not mature enough to analyse or assimilate such information. Our trust for God grows stronger even as the days even as time goes by because God is not a man; He is ever reliable. The will of God is for us to remain a toddler when relating with Him; believing everything He tells us, never question His authority, cleave to Him and refuse to let Him out of our sight. God wants absolute dependance on Him and His word. He wants you to stop analysing what He tells you, He wants you to just obey because too much analysis will eventually lead to paralysis. Here, what God says, He said because of your absolute dependance on Him that anyone who offends you shall be destroyed; and that is how important this relationship is to God. (Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea). Without this kind of relationship it will be difficult for anyone to command the supernatural. Those who remain little children to God are the conquerors, they are the overcomers; the greater one can only manifest His power inside a baby who will depend on Him for everything. 1 John 4:4(Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world). David the man after God's heart remained a baby to God till he went home to be with Him. David made a mistake once that nearly cost him his throne because he looked away from God and lust after another man´s wife. But when he converted, the relationship became perfect again (Psalms 51). With God, there is always room for repentance and conversion.

Paul the Apostle was a man that commanded the supernatural and now sitting on the throne with Jesus at the right hand of the Father in heaven. He said he believed all things that God commanded.

Acts 24:13 (Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. 14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets): Friends, when you make up your mind to believe all things pertaining to the word of God, men will hate you but the question is, does it really matter? Of Course not. Abraham believed God and it was counted for him as righteousness; God says whosoever that bless Abraham is blessed and whosoever that curses him is cursed. Believing God is for our own benefit; He is already on the throne and He will remain there forever, so your refusal to believe or cleave to Him cannot dethrone Him nor remove anything from Him. it is you who needs to be enthroned and for you to achieve that purpose, require that you humble yourself like a little child. God said except you convert and become like a little child you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. That means, you need to repent and come out of your high horse; your attitude towards His word needs to change. Little children don ´t hide their nakedness from their parents, everything is in the open.You need to be naked before God and don't hide your sin from Him.

PRAYER:

1, O God my father, give me grace to believe everything pertaining to your word. And help me to build my trust in you.

2. Lord Jesus, I surrender my will in exchange for yours, Let it be all of you and none of me at all. Lord, take over my heart, my will and everything, I hand them over to you.

Friends, the reason why that situation has not changed is because you refuse to allow God to handle it; let Him be the one to tell you what to do concerning that matter. You fight too much and you worry about everything; it is time to rest, let Him fight your battle for you. Matthew 11:28 (Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls). Jesus Christ is calling you, he wants you to be humble like him, he said, you should come and learn from him how to relate with God. If you have not made a decision to convert and become a little child, here is another opportunity for you to do so by praying this salvation prayer below and enter into your rest, in Jesus mighty name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

NENE ISAH,
