Oh, I'm not losing hope
Cause I know that my God is faithful
Do you know that Your God is faithful?
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
The Christmas season is upon us, which
means that a new year is just around the corner. In this instance, the new year
ushers in a new decade. As the sun sets on the second decade of the millennium,
it only feels right to remind ourselves that our God is a faithful God. As He
once said, His words never return to Him void and whatever He says will be
accomplished (Is. 55:11). From the dawn of mankind, God has been faithful to
every single one of His promises. God once told Abraham to count the stars (of
course it was impossible for him to do so) and He promised to make his descendants
as numerous as the stars (Gen. 15:5). At that point in time, Abraham did not
have a single child to call his own, yet God made him a promise that his
descendants will be as numerous as the stars. Despite not knowing how it will
happen, Abraham believed God (Gen. 15:6) and it came to pass.
I count on one thing
The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won't fail me now
In the waiting
The same God who's never late
Is working all things out
Since that promise was made, God has
made many more promises to us. One of such promises was that by His stripes, we
are healed (Is. 53:5). Recently, someone dear to me had a health challenge. I
remember getting the news and how downcast I felt. The initial scan was worrying;
the doctors gave different interpretations to the results from the scan. In the
space of 4 days, four scans were done, each with its own result. During this
period, I reminded God of His promise of healing, glory to God, the fourth scan
came back and all was well. The issue that one of the doctors said could not be
healed was completely healed! Praise God! Unknown to me, just a few days to
this, a song by Vertical Worship titled “Yes I will”, kept ringing in my head
over and over again. On my way to work, I would have it on repeat; little did I
know what it was preparing me for. During this period, all I had to do was
believe, remind God of His promise, do what David did (strengthen myself in the
Lord, I Sam. 30:6) and keep repeating the song.
Do you know that for every situation
you are facing, there is a promise in God’s word for you? Search His word! Is
there any promise God has made to you that is yet to come to pass? Are you
aware that the promise can come to pass suddenly (Is. 29:5-6, AMPC)? Whatever
the situation you find yourself in, there is a promise from God for you, all
you have to do is search for the promise, remind God of His promise to you,
hold on to it and have faith (Hab. 2:4, Heb. 11:6). All His promises are yes
and amen (II Cor. 1:20), meaning He has answered yes and it is so. Even if that
promise was made years ago, God is never late and a very present help (Ps.46:1)! He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8)!
PS: Before writing this post, I prayed to God for light, and in less than 2 hours, it came. God never fails!
