Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Trust Is Not A Gift
Scripture.
Psalm 66:10-12 (KJV)
"For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water: But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place".
Message:
I would like to emphasise afresh the fact that, trust is not a gift and will never be. This is why it is impossible to trust someone you don't know. Children are taught at a tender age not to trust strangers. Trust is built over time and it grows, it is not a gift that can be thrown around to just anybody. God will not trust certain things into a person's hands who He has not tried and tested. God is not a sentimental personality, you don't involve sentiments when it concerns destiny and key matters.
The scriptures says in Psalm 66:10-12 (KJV) "For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water: But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place". God will allow different situations your way to see the state of your heart. People have been duped, broken and some even died prematurely trusting the untrustable.
For God to trust you, you must pass the test of obedience, faithfulness, loyalty, consistency etc. Deuteronomy 28:1 (KJV) says, "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:". Until you are tried and you pass, you will just be watching the above only experience from far like a mirage.
Until God has tried you and you pass, there are things He will never trust you with. Until you stop failing the test, you will not stop repeating the class and God will not give up on you except you give up on yourself. That God loves you does not mean He will trust you without checking you out and building you up. Stop equation love with trust. This is the gimmick worldly boys use on valentines day to sleep with gullible girls. You must prove yourself trustworthy before you can be trusted.
