adminvictory. Every disappointment can give room to joy. Prophet Ezekiel spoke to dry bones and they lived again (Ezekiel 37).
He had no experience in speaking to dry bones, but that first trial backed up by faith raised the bones from the dead. Faith has the ability to create one’s desire.
Man was created to depend thoroughly and totally on God.
However, Lucifer is the father of independence from God. It is practically impossible for an individual to depend on God and people at the same time.
Our social construction has led people to believe that the only way to find what they are looking for is through who they know.
On the contrary, the only dependable, tried and tested form of help is the one from God Almighty.
This was also alluded to by King David in Psalm 60 verse 11.
The best that people can offer is what God calls useless as seen in Psalm 108.
God is able to give exceedingly above what people can offer to a person who is in need. Sympathy is usually the best that one can receive when he or she is in a helpless situation.
This is largely because those we often look up to for help are people who are also in need.
This was the case during a famine in Samaria, when Elisha was the prophet (2 Kings 6:26-30).
The women thought the king would intervene but the king informed them that he could only solve what was humanly possible. Depending on people and God is like looking up and down at the same time. When you choose to connect 100 percent with people, it automatically becomes 100 percent disconnection from God.
When you ask for God’s intervention in an issue, give God enough room to use whatever avenue He so desires to meet your need. It is not always that God sends a person to meet your need, as in the case of Elijah who was fed by ravens (1 Kings 17:2-6).
Moreover, when Jesus and Peter were in need of money to pay taxes, the coin was found in the mouth of a fish (Matthew 17:27).
God is God all by himself.
He is more than able to meet all our needs. He is called Jehovah Elshaddai (the many breasted one).
Without God it is impossible to do anything outstanding as demonstrated in Psalm 127:1-3. Every marvellous happening is a result of his divine intervention.
