Depend on God Alone and Not on Man
By Ronke Immanuel


One of the most important things you can do is to be determined to depend totally on God. If you rely on Him for everything, He can never let you down. Total dependency on God is putting your total weight on Him. Also, if you do not quit depending on Him, you can never lose.

Man can disappoint you anytime; hence it is not advisable to rely on man. Your help comes from the Lord alone and not from anyone else. Our God, who is the maker of Heaven and earth, is the only one who can help you without any disappointment. He will never let your foot slip as He does not sleep nor slumber.

He watches over you and all that concerns you, both day and night. He will not let the sun harm you by day nor the moon by night. He will keep you from all harm and watch over your life, if you rely on Him alone. As you go out and come in, He is there to keep an eye on you. Man cannot do all these for you; so why depend on man?

If you call on God in your distress, He will answer you and come to your rescue. He will be with you in the time of trouble and He will deliver you. The Lord will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. He will not let any harm befall you and no disaster will come near your household.

The Psalmist says, "Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.
Psalm 72:18-19

Child of God, let your salvation and your honour depend totally on God, as He is your mighty rock and your refuge. He is a strong and loving God and He will reward you according to the level of your dependability on Him. In all that you do, I encourage to strive to please God and not man. Be a God-pleaser and not a man-pleaser! Our Lord Jesus Christ said, "The One who sent me is with me; He has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases Him". John 8:29.

Apostle Paul decided to please God and depend on Him alone and not man. If he had pleased man, he would not have become an Apostle and would not have fulfilled his destiny. You can only please God by faith, because it is totally impossible to please Him without faith.

God should always take the glory in your life and do not allow man to steal God's glory as all glory belongs to HIM alone. Fear no man but let the reverential fear of God be in your heart because He is the Almighty God. He takes pleasure in your total dependability on Him.

If you set the Lord always before you, you will not be shaken. He will "make your feet like the feet of a deer and He will enable you to stand on the heights", Psalm 18:33. I encourage you to be Christ-like and depend on our Heavenly Father for everything. You will never regret it because He is not a man. PEACE!
