There are also things that God has told you to do for Him that look crazy to you. Are you going to trust God, take the step and look like an <i>idiot<\/i>? <!--more-->Or are you going to sit there and keep rationalizing things? There are levels that God wants to take you to that will require some levels of sacrifice. Are going to take the step or are you going to reason it out? I remember when God\u2019s Favourite House was still meeting in a hall at Orchid hotels, and we wanted to get our own land. Someone came to me and said, \u2018How many are we, Pastor, why don\u2019t we just get two plots of land?\u2019 And I said to him, \u2018We are actually going to get NOT just two, or three, or five plots. We are going to get at least a hectare which is fifteen plots.\u2019 He looked at me like an <i>idiot, <\/i>even<i> <\/i>though He did not say it, I could see it in his eyes. The look on his face was, why are you deceiving yourself Pastor? But today we have even more than fifteen plots, to the glory of God. Guess what? It no longer looks crazy anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Even when it comes to giving, when God places something on your heart, you can ether give sacrificially by faith [revelation] or you can give by reason. What is it going to be &#8211; giving by reason or by revelation? When you choose to give by revelation, you will look like an <i>idiot.<\/i> We have heard testimonies of people who while trusting God for healing, by faith gave their savings to God. Logic says, \u2018you need this money to sort your medical bills out\u2019, but faith says, \u2018give this money to God, The Great Physician\u2019. I know how hard that can be, it does not make sense. No social media celebrity enthusiast can understand it. But the Bible says <i>the just<\/i> [justified] <i>born again child of God shall live by faith <\/i>not by reasoning. When you give to God, people will call you a fool [Idi\u014dt\u0113s].<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">God reveals something deeply profound in <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/ISA.46.4\">Isa.46:<sup>4<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<i>I will be your God throughout your lifetime\u2014 until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you<\/i>.\u201d God is reliable! God&#8217;s love does not expire. God&#8217;s commitment does not expire. God is totally reliable. What is God asking you to do that you are almost halting your life with reason? I can tell you several personal stories and the common factor in them all is that God is totally reliable. I want to encourage you today that God is reliable. Jesus is enough! Jesus is everything! Jesus plus nothing equals everything and everything minus Jesus, equals nothing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/HEB.10.23\">Heb.10:<sup>23<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0\u201c<i>Let us hold <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>tightly<\/i><\/b><\/span><i> without wavering to the hope we affirm, for <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>God can be trusted<\/i><\/b><\/span><i> to keep his promise<\/i>.\u201d [emphasis added]. The Bible will not use the word tightly if it is not something that can be shaken out of our hands. God can absolutely be trusted. It does not matter what you are going through. I have been sent to tell you today that God can be trusted! You can trust God with your life!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b> [song]: It doesn\u2019t matter what the people says, it doesn\u2019t matter what my eye could see Lord you are so good, you are exalted you are the Most High God.
