THE NATURE OF GOD
HE WILL NEVER CHANGE
The fundamental of nature indicated
that God is the source of everything, both living and non-living things. His
word is the beginning of all things. ‘Let there be light’ Gen. 1.3. When the
light came to being, He then made thee night. Verse 4-5. Since then, it has not
changed.
His word is His power. This
word is so potent that makes His power so domineering. God will rather not talk
than for Him to deny and later say He did not say so or meant what He said.
Some attributes of HIS word.
(i)
It is much powerful Isaiah 55;10-11
(ii)
It brings healing to the sic. Psalm 107:20
(iii)
It is settled forever and complete. Psalm 119:89
All these and more are the
nature of God that makes Him not to change in His standard. He cannot
compromise, unlike man that will say something and deny ever saying it.
The word of man is not
realistic, it is not forever but temporary. Word of man has limitations. This
is the reason why the Bible says ‘Put not your trust in princes nor in the son
of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth ,he returneth to his
earth; in that very day his thought perish, Happy is he that hath the God of
Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the
Lord his God. Psalm 146:3-5
Men may assume that they don’t want you to be more successful
than them or think you will contend with them in time to come. 1Samuel 18:8-9.
This makes man not reliable. Therefore, Lesson to learn:
(i)
For no reason at all should you put your confidence in the word or promise
of man. Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to
be accounted of. Isaiah 2:22
(ii)
Trust God at all times even when it seems not certain or sure. When all
situation looks impossible and knotty, trust HIM. He will not reverse His word
which is His power. Thus saith the Lord ; cursed is be the man that trusteth in
man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. Jeremaiah.17.5
For those that knows their God. The word and
power of God is in you to do exploit. Those that are yet to give their life to
Jesus will continually wallow in pains of disappointments and agony of unfulfilled
purpose. Give your life to Him now.
Cheers!
