Topic: HAS GOD EVER FAILED ANY OF HIS PROMISES (WORD)?

MEMORIZE: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19.

SCRIPTURE READING: Jeremiah 1:11-12, Isaiah 35:4-7.

EXPOSITION:

God, whose name is Faithful and True (Rev. 19:11; 3:14; 22:6) never make a promise He will not keep. Whatever He promised to do, no matter how hard or impossible, good or evil it might be, must be done. Let's consider His act of faithfulness to His promises in times past:

i. In Genesis 1:3; when God spoke that light should come, was there not light?

ii· In Gen. 6:7-8, when He promised to wipe off Noah's world to start a new race with Noah, was it difficult for Him to do, irrespective of the numbers of lives involved?

iii· Gen. 19:13, 24-28, when He determined to utterly destroy Sodom & Gomorrah in their great numbers, were they too many for Him to wipe out?

iv· In Gen. 12:1-3, when He made the promise to make Abraham great and nations of people, did He fail to do it?

v· In Gen. 37:5-11, when He revealed to Joseph that the sheaves of his brothers together with the sun, moon and eleven stars will come bowing down unto him, did it not come true?

vi· In Exodus 14:15-22, when He was to part the red sea for His people (Israel) to cross to the other side on  dry land, though such a thing has never happened before, was it impossible for Him?

vii· In Luke 1:30-38, when He sent his word to virgin Mary that she will be with child without having canal knowledge of man, even till she weaned her first son (Jesus), was it impossible?

viii· In Matt. 16:18, when He said the gates of hell shall not prevail against His Church, with all persecutions and religious wars militating against the Church (Christians) from the days of the Pharisee and the high priests unto the days of Emperor Nero, even till date (with terror and mass killing from Boko Haram and the likes)… Did they prevail against her? NO!!!

Why will you not believe Him now when He says your unfavoured, uncelebrated and unfruitful land (life and family) shall become fertile and bear much fruits and that your desert shall be flowing with waters, milk and honey? He will give you total turn-around and a fulfilled life and destiny both in your life, home and ministry (your career). Are you written off and abandoned in the society or ministry? Are you termed failure and unfruitful? Can you not make an edge no matter how hard you tried? Don't rely on your wisdom or efforts again, but hold and rely on God alone. He never failed. He is faithful to His word; He has spoken and will do it. Isaiah 35: 6 is the personal commitment of God to your case, He will not rest until He has settled you too.

vs. 4-7 is a promise of healing and recovery for the sick and the wounded, the outcast and the fearful.

v. 4 is a promise of courage to the fearful.

v. 5 is a promise of opening of eyes and ears to the blind and the deaf respectively.

v. 6 the lame shall leap and walk as an hart.

v. 6 The tongue of the dumb shall be loosed and shall sing.

v. 6 In the wilderness shall water break out and streams shall spring out in the desert.

v. 7 The parched land shall become a pool and thirsty land shall become springs of water.

Prayer Point:

Lord, I believe you are faithful to your promises, let it be unto me according to your words in Jesus name.

* Make your personal requests know to God for at least five minutes as you trust that He can do it.
