Memorize: God forbid: yea, let God be true, but
every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in
thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Romans 3:4
Apart from grace, one other thing God is unlimited in is faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:23
says His faithfulness is great. God is not only faithful, He is
incurably faithful. Being a faithful God entails fulfilling every
promise made. It also means that in any situation that requires inputs
from man and God, when man has done his, God will of necessity do His.
In most agreements involving God and man, if there is a breach, it
can never be God; it always comes from man if only you take the pain to
look beyond the surface.
2 Timothy 2:13 says even if all human beings deny God today, and all His children betray Him, God cannot deny Himself.
That means it is not what you say that will make Him to do what He will do. God is very responsible.
Romans 3:4
says even when all men tell lies, God remains truthful. Being truthful
is not just a trait, but it is His personality. He is the Truth (
John 14:6). It is because of His faithfulness we are still living today.
Some years ago, at the end of that year, I sat at the Redemption camp
and told the Lord we should have some tête-à-tête. I said, “Daddy, next
Sunday, I will tell the congregation to praise You, but the truth is, I
don't see anything worth praising You for in this year that is ending”.
“Is that so?” He asked. Then He asked me to get a note book and pen
to do some writing. He asked me: “How many people sleep and never wake
up? On January 1st, you slept and woke up. Write that as miracle number
one. On January 2nd, you slept and woke up. That is miracle number
two...” When He got to January 3rd, I fell on my face and told Him I
will praise Him.
Do not take His little mercies for granted! A man who is sleeping is
half dead. Waking you up after you slept is a miracle that only God can
do because many go into eternity from sleep. Thank God for His
faithfulness in your life and He will yet be faithful. I pray that as
you please Him daily, He will always be there for you.
ACTION POINT: Throughout today, remain in an
attitude of thanksgiving as you appreciate God for His faithfulness to
you in every aspect of life.
