THE CERTAINTY OF YOUR DESTINATION

Post date: Jun 24, 2014 4:01:19 AM

Far beyond having and enjoying enormous wealth and riches twenty four seven and all year round; far beyond the very best of all human desires, dreams and visions; and far beyond your ability to adequately provide the very best of security around yourself everywhere at every given moment, there are words that completely transforms the lives of men, words that give life the dying hope and ambitions, words that truly renews all forms of hope, words that gives meaning and desires to live longer and see many more days; words that give enormous strength to all who are physically and spiritually weak; words that ensures adequate safety and protection without using any physical weapons and other security materials; words that provides encouragement to the soul and body beyond the vicinity of today and tomorrow.

They are words that keep us on the top of ourselves; on top of all other things and ever joyful of our expectations despite the daily challenges of not having all of what we want in life, despite the many days of praying, fasting and waiting on our Lord for a particular thing of interest. There are words that will always encourage us to keep following and trusting Our God every day and in everything. There is nothing in the physical and in the spiritual to be compared with the word of God in every situation that concerns us, none as relieving, and none as assuring.

Some of the sweet and empowering words and promises were the protective ones given to Jacob and all his children against anything that may ever come against them. Did you believe that same protective grace is also extended to you? I believe and trust that it is, and I pray you will receive it, your will enjoy it, and you will glorify God in it. As a born again child of the living God, that same protective assurance is also extended to you, to your spouse and children, to those you have been laboring for in prayers daily. You will enjoy it in your home, in your job, in your business and in every place you will ever go. The Lord will not forsake you and will not allow you to carry your burden alone; it is affecting your present situation.

“But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says; do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom; I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you and your children from east and west. I will say to the north and south, bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth. Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.” Isaiah 42:1-7

The children of Jacob and Jacob himself suffered famine where they were, but God was there to make a way for them to survive; all of them together with their children went into slavery in Egypt as a result of the hunger that followed the famine, but God did not abandon them in that strange land; they were heavily persecuted, forced to labor every day without rest, but God did not suffer any of them to be destroyed; on an appointed time, God sent Moses to lead them out from slavery; Pharaoh with all his power was unable to stop them; the Red Sea could not prevent their passage, the wilderness desert could not stop God from feeding them with manna; the people who stood up against them were defeated, river Jordan was parted for their sake and the walls of Jericho could not withstand their voice of praise. God ensured that they reach the destination He promises them. The word of God for you will stand forever and will definitely change every situation for good. For more prayers, Click here
