There is no greater frustration than looking for
something and not know where to get it. If the only market you know is a fish
market, would it not be stupid to go there and be asking for laptop spares? My
son already knows that coming to me for breast milk is like asking the deaf for
earphones. Many people are going about life depressed because they do not know
the source of what they are looking for, and as a result of that, they keep
going from pillar to post.
Our only source as believers is God Almighty. Bible
says, heaven and earth belong to Him. Another part of the Bible in Hag 2:8
says, “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Jesus said in Matt 11:28 that, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest,” because God the Father is in Him and He is also in
God the Father (John 14:11). Many of the people who enjoyed the grace loaded in
the earthly ministry of Jesus knew Him as their only source.
When the son of the widow of Zarephath in 1 King 17 died,
the woman never bothered going to anyone because she knew the source of the
child. She ran to Prophet Elijah for help and she was not disappointed. She
understood that it’s an act of foolishness and an invitation to humiliation to
take your Blackberry mobile phone to a Nokia store for repair. Jokingly, I do
say, your source determines the kind of sauce you eat. I guess that is what Dan
11:32 means that, “But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and
do exploits.”
If your source is a man, I say, “Welcome to the land
of limitation,” but if God is your source, David said, “They that trust in the
LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.”
Selah!
