TOPIC: CONSTANT VS VARIABLES II
MEMORISE:
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” - (Isaiah 55:11)
READ: HEBREWS 4:12-13 (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
MESSAGE:
In a world of constantly changing laws and policies, God can be trusted to remain an absolute constant, as I discussed yesterday. His words, principles, and actions are consistent, and they can never change. When politicians campaign for political offices, they make numerous promises, some of which they often fail to fulfil. God is never like that; His promises are constant, and His deeds can be absolutely trusted.
Many things are constant about God; I will discuss one today - His word - and three more tomorrow. God's word existed before the world began, and it will remain long after the earth passes away (John 1:1). If He makes you a promise and you play your part as He requires, no matter how long it takes, He will surely fulfil it.
One day, I was praying, and God said, "Son, presidents will come to the camp to worship." At that time, it seemed impossible, but Daddy said it, and as far as I was concerned, it was settled already. Therefore, with faith, we built a presidential lodge immediately, and it was the biggest building in the camp (now Redemption City) back then. Three years passed, and when no president came, some senior pastors said to me, "Daddy, you are our president. Why don't you move into the presidential lodge?" They didn't fully understand why we built the presidential lodge, and they felt that I wanted to live in a big house but didn't know how to tell them. I told them, "No! That's not my house. It's for presidents; they will come." Of course, presidents have come and are still coming. No matter how long it takes, God's word and promises will come to pass.
According to today's memory verse, the potency of God's word is constant; no word that comes out of His mouth will return to Him void. This means that you can claim whatever you see in the Scriptures, and you will receive it if you believe. For example, Deuteronomy 28:13 says that you shall be the head and not the tail. If you believe this, then you will indeed be the head. (1 Peter 2:24) says that you have been healed by His stripes. If you believe this, then sickness has no place in your body.
Situations may vary, but God's word is constant. No matter how bad a situation appears to be, God can turn it around for good because His word is living and powerful, and that will never change.
KEY POINT:
Your situation is a variable, but God's word is constant. His word never fails.
