There
are truly songs for every season of our life. While preparing to go to bed
after a discouraging day, I decided to look for songs that could minister to my
spirit. In the course of searching, the Holy Spirit led me to a song that I had
on my phone but had never played: The Anthem by Dunsin Oyekan (ft. Pst. JerryEze). As odd as it may sound, I had slept off listening to the gospel song I
initially selected when this song started playing. I woke up and couldn’t stop
the song because the words were so powerful and the testimonies that Pst. Jerry
shared were just amazing.
The
song served as a timely reminder that what God cannot do does not exist. We all
have different things we are hoping to God for. Some are minute (small), some are
extremely great. But regardless of what those things are, God can do them all.
It is His pleasure to give us good things. When we read the bible, there are
many stories of people whom God performed mighty and marvelous miracles in
their lives. We have Sarah who conceived a child when she was past ninety years
old (Gen. 21:1-7). We have Daniel who was shut up in a lion’s den and was not
harmed (Dan. 6:16-23). We have Gideon who won a great victory with 300 men
(Judges 7). We have Jesus who fed the 5000 and later the 4000 with food that
was not even enough for 20 people (Matt. 14:13-21, Matt. 15:29-39). We have Samson
who killed a lion with his bare hands (Judges 14:6). We have Moses who parted
the Red Sea (Ex. 14). Joshua who received courage to take over the mantle of leadership
from Moses (Joshua 1). David who won a great victory with a sling and five
stones (I Sam. 17:40-54). The royal official whose child was healed by a word
from Jesus (John 4:43-54). Elijah who outran chariots (I Kings 18:45-46)! The
man at the pool of Bethesda who had an infirmity for 38 years (John 5:1-15). The
Shunammite woman who was barren, conceived, lost the child and had the child
restored to her again (II Kings 4:8-37). So
many examples!
It is
reassuring to know that God will never give us something bad when we ask Him
for something good (Matt. 7:9-11). Whatever it is that you are hoping for, I’m
here to tell you a simple but yet powerful truth: What God cannot do does not exist. All we have to do is seek Him
diligently (Heb. 11:6), trust His immutable word and give thanks (I Thess.5:16-18). There will be times in life when the storms make it difficult to do
so, ask God for grace to help you (Heb. 4:16) and have faith (Heb. 11:1). He
will send you a helper (John 14:26). The bible says it is God’s pleasure to
give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32), never forget that. Never let the enemy cause
you to forget that. In this second half of the year, write it boldly on the
walls of your heart and imprint it in your mind that God has never failed and will never fail. If He has said it,
He will do it (Is. 55:11, Jer. 1:12). There has never and there will never
exist a thing that God cannot do. The charge is simple: make your requests
known to God and believe that He has done it (I John 5:14-15).
P.S. I’d
love to hear from you about times when God came through for you in an
impossible situation. Please share in the comments section.
