TOPIC: GOD-CONFIDENCE
TEXT: PROVS 3:5-7, PSM 60:12, DANIEL 11:32B
NATURE: ENCOURAGEMENT

First let me ask, do you even know this God I'm talking about? You cannot have confidence in someone you do not know. It is those that know their God that will command exploit on this earth.

Are you sure it's not second hand information you're carrying around about this God? Have you truly encountered Him? You know ABOUT God in the pages of the Bible, but you truly KNOW Him when you encounter the Word Himself (Jesus). Check that out first! Are you truly a witness? Has your eyes seen Jesus? Hope what you're carrying around is not what you heard from a preacher or from someone else?

How much of God do you know?

-We are where we are due to what we know.
-Darkness only invades when the intensity of the light is not adequate.
- Ever-learning but never come to the knowledge of the truth
- many of you do not have the knowledge of God, I speak this to your shame (1cor15:34b)

I'm here to challenge and encourage you today that it is only confidence in known God that can guarantee you of a glorious future. The psalmist says, THROUGH God I will do valiantly, not through self.

-trusting in the Lord is your guarantee for continuous triumph in God
-there is no future in self-confidence
-it is the quality of your trust that determines the quality of your destiny in God
-When your trust is intact, your shame must give way to success
-Even Jesus our Master said 'I can of myself do nothing' (John15:5)
-God is made responsible through unflinching trust in Him
-Whatever trust delivers, trust preserves
-Trust in yourself should be below zero
-Trust in no man whoever he/she may be. The help of man is useless. It's only by trusting God that you can do valiantly.

FFT(1) : Are you trusting God or you're testing Him?
FFT (2) : Those who test God shall never be free from trials. And those that trust God are the ones entitled to triumph.
