KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 11:7 KJV” Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.”
God is forever faithful. The Lord will surely honour what He has promised .To be faithful , is to be truthful and this is the intrinsic nature of God, that cannot change. When the Lord was informed about the sickness of Lazarus, Jesus said this sickness is not unto death, and it was meant to bring glory to the Son of God. This meant He would come over and minister unto him. In our key scripture the Lord said to His disciples, let us go to Judea, that is where Lazarus was , and definitely to heal him.
Dear child of God you can count on the Lord’s word to come through for you. Jesus had delayed for two days, yet He finally decided to go and fulfill His word. God told Abraham, his descendants would go into captivity for 400 yrs.’ and He will deliver them. He did it as He said. God’s word is His bond. God is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent, has He said, and shall he not do it, and has he spoken, and will He not make it good? God cannot deny Himself. It is simply impossible for the Lord to fail in doing what He has said. Heb 6:18 KJV” That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:”
Beloved, although God promises, and will surely fulfill what He has said, we have a part to play, in bring that promise to pass. In certain promises, God gives certain conditions that would have to be fulfilled. An example is when He says, if you diligently hearken to my word, I will take all sicknesses from your midst. There are other instances that He gives no conditions attached, yet, even with such promises, one must pray and believe His word to come to pass. In the case of Israel in Egypt, they left Egypt after 430 years, because they did not start calling forth the promise into manifestation, early enough. When Daniel understood by the books of Jeremiah, that they were to be in exile for 70 years, he started praying and calling forth the prophecy into pass, and it happened just as God said it. Dan 9:2.Praying for the fulfilment of the prophecy is a way of believing and receiving the answer.
CONFESSION.
Thank you, dear Father, for your unfailing faithfulness. I believe and trust in every word you have given to me. I rely on your word always and I always play my part to see your promise or prophecy come to pass. Thank you, Lord.
THOUGHT: GOD IS FAITHFUL WITH HIS PROMISES, YET, MAN MUST ALWAYS RECEIVE THEM BY FAITH.
