Post date: Mar 13, 2014 4:00:27 AM
Many believers ignorantly take the faithfulness of God lightly to their own detriment; many have not comprehended the impact it carries and the extent to which it can lead them and take them to in life and walk with God. Living and doing what you are doing right now in an acceptable and right way is never a product of your best strength, not a product of your very best experience and exposure to education and training, not a product of your level of wealth and paid job; and never a product of your acclaimed personality; they are all a product of the loving faithfulness of our ever living and Almighty God.
Above all things in this very life, it is the faithfulness of God that enables everyone to fully enjoy His amazing provisions every day, in every location and in every nation that we will ever find ourselves. This same faithfulness also separates us from the consequences of our past sins; keeps us back from the wickedness of men, from walking and continuing those past sins, and draws us out of every circle and every evil entanglement of the power of sin in our families, in our places of work, in our local neighborhood and in our nation.
It was through God’s faithfulness that Abraham ears were opened to hear God speak to him despite his parent’s background; it was God’s faithfulness that kept him throughout the entire period till he finally became the Father of nations as promised. It was God’s faithfulness that preserved him in times of battle and stress, guided him in times of confusion, strengthened him when he was weak, and made him very effective in maintaining the right moral to achieve the fullness of the promise. It was God’s faithfulness that enabled Sarah’s womb to conceive a child, preserved her to the day and the time of her giving birth despite her age, her previous thoughts of things in her life, and despite all the contrary words of men against her. It was God’s faithfulness that made the promise to be fully fulfilled and effective in their lives.
Irrespective of whatever you are going through right now, whatever your experiences had been before, irrespective of what you are thinking of yourself and your situation, irrespective of the words of men against you, “Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations,” Deuteronomy 9:8
It is by His faithfulness that you will not go empty handed in life; you will not remain unmarried and childless, you will never remain poor and sick indefinitely. It is through God’s faithfulness that you will not go begging people for what is needed to keep you happy and relevant in this life, you will not be killed by the evil of the day and the night, you will not remain jobless and lonely indefinitely, you will not fall out of grace and out of contention for the rest of your life. It is through His faithfulness that your seeds will grow and be very productive.
It is by God’s faithfulness that the tears in your eyes and heart will stop, that you will laugh with joy and be celebrated in this life. It is through His faithfulness that you will be useful to yourself, to your family, to your church and to your nation. It is by His faithfulness that you will see and enjoy unparalleled mercy and favor from God and from people far and near.
I pray that you will see in a much greater measure the unfailing faithfulness of God than you have ever seen in your whole life before now. I ask that He will open your eyes to see that each day is a blessing and not a curse, each day there is a new opportunity for you to take advantage of and move up the ladder of progress and joyfully thank your God. I pray that you will know that it is better to rely on your God than on the best strength and knowledge of men. I pray that you will come to know that without salvation and a complete change of heart, thoughts and actions, there is no meaning to life irrespective of our level of success. For prayers Click here
