THE CERTAINTY IN GOD’S WORD!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY APRIL 24, 2022. 

SUBJECT: THE CERTAINTY IN GOD’S WORD! 

Memory verse: "God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should repent, has He said, and will He not do it?” (Numbers 23 vs 19.)

READ: Isaiah 55 vs 11; Matthew 24 vs 35:

Isaiah 55:11: So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."

Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. 

INTIMATION:

No word from God can ever be defaulted. There never can be any denying of His own Word. Every Word of God is pure (Proverbs 30 vs 5), and forever God’s Word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119 vs 89). We did not ask Him to write the Word, nor to see that it was perceived for us. The Word of God shall stand forever (Isaiah 40 vs 8), and you are trusting in that Word. His Word is eternal, constant, and unfailing. And only on God’s eternal Word will we find lasting solutions to our problems and needs. Your confidence is in that Word that cannot be broken. God’s word will produce fruit as sure as rain from the heavens.

The emphasis in God’s Word is enunciated in His calling His Son—Jesus Christ—the Word, and His Word being the agent of creation. (See John 1 vs 1 - 3). God and Jesus (the Word) are inseparable. Forever God and Jesus live and abide, hence Word of God abides, and lives on through the ages. The Word of God is incorruptible, The apostle Peter captures it this way, “Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever” (First Peter I vs 23).  

Therefore, when you get tied up with God, that is, when you identify with God in the new creation, His nature is imparted on you. You can no longer be a failure, because you know you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you. You feel like David must have felt when he said, "For by You I can run against a troop: by my God have I can leap over a wall." (Second Samuel 22 vs 30; Psalm 18 vs 29). You become a master of circumstances.

The Scripture, Jeremiah 1 vs 12, says, “Then said the LORD to me, you have well seen, for I will hasten My word to perform it.” Impassable gulfs will become level roads to us when we realize that God hastens His Word to perform it. We take His Word and carry it into His presence and repeat it and say, "Father, this is what you said." You just look up and say, “Father I thank you, for this is Your Word."

Now, in Hebrews 6 vs 18, the Scripture says, "That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us." The two immutable things are God's nature and His promise—His Word. God embodies all truth, you can be secure in His promises; you don't need to wonder if He will change His plans because by His nature He will never change for He said "I am the Lord, I change not." (Malachi 3 vs 6). Our hope is secure and immovable; anchored in God and His Word, just as a ship anchor holds firmly to the seabed. 

We are dealing with Him who cannot lie. The Bible says in Second Timothy 2 vs 13, "He abide faithful; He cannot deny Himself." When this gets into your blood. It gives you a warrior spirit, and makes you confident of your place in Christ. It makes you know that you are what He says you are, and that you can do what He says you can do. God was not created after the imagination of men. For this reason, He cannot tell a lie as men do. Neither could the destiny of anybody be changed, as men change their minds according to their own desires. 

In Isaiah 45 vs 23, God said, "By myself have I sworn." This is repeating what He said to Abraham (Genesis 22 vs 16). God has made even His Throne back of His Word. I wonder how much some of our hearts can take it. It is like God throwing a cable about the Throne, dropping the cable over for us to grasp. Think of it this way; He said, "Do you see, I am putting my Throne as surety for My Word. My very Self is enwrapped in this." This is awesome!

Now, let us look at Hebrews 7 vs 22: "By so much more Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant." The better covenant is also called the new covenant or testament. It is new and better because now we have the Father, Jesus, and the Throne back of every word. This Is tremendous. If the Word should fail, it will dethrone the Triune God. It cannot fail even when the heaven and earth pass away. 

The Scripture, in Hebrews 4 vs 12, says: "For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” The Word of God is living, life-changing and dynamic as it works in us. God's Word reveals who we are and what we are not. It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual life. It discerns what is within us, both good and evil. 

Prayer: Abba Father, Your Word is proven, and is a shield to all trust in You. Your Word is a lamp to the feet and a light to the path of those who find it. I pray that the eyes of my understanding be opened by the spirit of wisdom and revelation in Your Word, and the entrance of Your Word enthrones Your light in me, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
