K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the importance of depending on God through the story of King Asa, who initially relied on the Lord for victory but later sought help from a foreign king, leading to God's disapproval. Asa's early faithfulness resulted in peace, but his later reliance on human strength brought about God's judgment and ongoing conflict. The sermon highlights that true success and lasting fruit come from a heart fully committed to God, rather than from human ingenuity or strength. Yohannan warns against the pride that can lead to self-reliance, as seen in the lives of Kings Uzziah and Saul, and encourages believers to remain dependent on God for all aspects of life. Ultimately, the message is clear: how we accomplish our goals matters more than the goals themselves, and we must choose to trust in the Lord.
