God told the Israelites through Moses the Egyptians you see today, you will see them no more forever and it was so. The God who did it then, can also do it now and He will do it again; He can make you into what He wants and what He says, He will make you His joy on earth and He will keep you in His favor. All things that He had said, He will do them, nothing will be taken from any of His words and promises concerning you and nothing will be added to it. Look, our God has no match when it comes to implementing plans and fulfilling destinies. Faithfulness to God is an added advantage to you. Faithfulness will and can open doors that strength alone or courage alone could never open; it can take you to places that wealth and human favor cannot take you and it has the power to place where God had destined beyond the abilities and wishes of the best thoughts of men. Abraham and Sarah, Noah and Moses, Elijah and Elisha, Peter and the rest were not all self-made successes, it was their faithfulness to the Almighty God that brought them success and made the great difference in their lives.

“But without faith, it is impossible to walk with God and please Him, for whoever comes near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He rewards those who earnestly and diligently seek Him. By faith with confidence in God and His word Noah, being warned by God about events not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his family. By this act of obedience, he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called by God, obeyed by going to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went, not knowing where he was going. By faith, he lived as a foreigner in the promised land, as in a strange land, living in tents as nomads with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs of the same promise. For he was waiting expectantly and confidently looking forward to the city which has foundations, an eternal, heavenly city whose architect and builder is God. By faith, even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive a child, even when she was long past the normal age for it because she considered Him who had given her the promise to be reliable and true to His word. So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, were born as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand on the seashore.” Hebrews 11:6-12

Life is like a bag mixed with happiness and tears; but in whatever situation you find yourself, be strong, be courageous and remain faithful to the Almighty, He can change things, He will change them for your sake for good and He will change you for His good. Let your faithfulness be seen, let your faith be firm in His words and in His promises, let it grow stronger and bigger and let it be your testimony before Him and all men. If all else fails in this world, His promises and words will never fail. They are secured in His presence where nothing can change them, not even angels. It is God’s plan and desire that “You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God who has dealt wondrously with you, and My people shall never be put to shame. Come near to Me, listen to this: from the beginning, I have not spoken in secret, from the time that it happened, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Holy Spirit. This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way that you should go. Oh, that you had paid attention to My commandments, then your peace and prosperity would have been like a flowing river, and your righteousness, the holiness and purity of the nation like the abundant waves of the sea. Your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants in number like the grains of sand; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.” Joel 2:26; Isaiah 48:16-19.
