TOPIC: RELATE WITH ONLY THOSE THAT YOU CAN TRUST
TEXT : Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Memory Verse : Psalms 22:4
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
FOCUS
Today, we are looking at relate with only those you can trust. Even though our opening scripture is referring to us trusting in God but one thing I have learned over the years is, when you trust someone, you have peace about that person, you can leave your things with that person without blinking an eye.
So, I believe that one of the things that fosters relationship and ensure good rapor among people is, trust. Why should I make friend with someone I cannot trust, someone I have no confidence in, someone I can’t relay on.
The word trust means absolute dependence, something you can relay you, you have confidence in and it’s reliable. So, why should I make friend with people that are not reliable, people that will never be there for you. Your friends should be people who can trust you, people whom you can look at and say yes am comfortable with this person.
Life is too short to make friends with someone you can’t trust. Anytime before you pick anyone and call the person your friend, make sure you can trust and relay on the person, make sure the person is trustworthy. The person you cannot trust shouldn’t come near you. It’s not a matter of thinking, it’s something you have to be sure about. God wants us to know that everything in this world, the same way He expect us to trust Him, He expects us to trust people.
Why should you make friend with a froward person, someone you can’t trust. God bless you make sure you make friends with someone you can trust, this is the only way to prove that you are a royal vessel.
LESSON
Job 39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
We are talking about trust in relationship and as I rightly said, don’t make friends with someone you cannot trust. Relationship is too crucial to destiny that if you don’t trust, you don’t have to relate. Many people have entered into relationship with people they don’t trust and end up injuring themselves. Many are in prison houses now because they made friends with fraudulent people. Many people that know nothing has become victims because they were friends with people they don’t know their kind of person. Before you choose any person as your intimate frien, ask yourself can I trust this person? If the person has a character flaw that you are not sure of please drop the person because it takes two to agree.
If you are walking with a fraudulent person, its assumed you are fraudulent. Can you trust the person with your money, can you leave things that are precious to you in charge with that person, can you get to a point in your life and you say yes, even if nobody is there I know this person will be there for me. Have you gotten to that level? God doesn’t want us to live our life anyhow, He wants us to be specific to be precise. That is why I said this morning that trust enhances relationship. If you are not sure you can trust the person please stay away from the person. A man of God said ; relationship is not by force, it’s by choice. Don’t let your friends choose you, choose your friends. Take heed unto your relationship.
