KEY SCRIPTURE: Rev 19:11 KJV And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

In one of our studies about living a life of peace instead of worrying and anxiety, we said we’ve got to acknowledge God’s faithfulness. Once again, I wish to emphasise the importance of being rooted in knowing God’s faithfulness so you would stand firmly to possess every blessing of God.

God’s faithfulness should dominate the mind and the meditation of the people of God. Every attack, trial, or challenge the devil throws at the believer is to raise a barrier against the concept we have about the faithfulness of God. The Christian’s resilience against evil depends on how he or she is grounded or rooted in the concept of God’s faithfulness. Daniel faced the threat of being consumed by the ferocious lions because he had fully settled in his heart that God was faithful to His word. David accepted the challenge against Goliath because he was fully convinced of God’s faithfulness. God had promised in Joshua 1:5 that “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” This promise from the mouth of the faithful becomes a solid ground to enter into any contest or battle.

In the new covenant, God affirms His FAITHFULNESS to us. He says,” Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19. Scripture abounds in illustrations of God’s faithfulness. He said, ” While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gen 8:22. Every year is a fresh witness to God fulfilling this promise. In Gen 15, the Lord declared to Abraham, Thy seed shall be strangers in a land that is not theirs and shall serve them…But in the fourth generation, they shall come hider again. Although time passed, and centuries rolled away, God did not forget His promise but brought it to pass. In Exodus 12:41, “And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.” This prophecy came to pass in the very last word.

God is true, and His word is sure. He remains faithful in all His dealings with His people. No one ever trusted the Lord in vain. He says whosoever believes in Him will not be put to shame, Rom 10:11. Once again, let every child of God know that faithfulness is an essential part of His divine character. Whenever you are tempted to doubt His faithfulness, please know that it is an attack on your very foundation of relating to God. Refuse every thought that suggests anything against God’s faithfulness. Declare it audibly that God is faithful.

CONFESSION

Father, you are faithful. This I know and never will allow any contrary suggestion against this knowledge. Indeed, acknowledging your faithfulness is my liberty from the lies of the enemy. I am ever confident of victory, always because I know you are very faithful.

THOUGHT: YOU WOULD EVER REMAIN VICTORIOUS IF YOU STICK TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS.
