God is not a Failure I

Text: Num. 23:19

Bible Reading in One Y ear: Ephesians 1-3

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?: Num 23:19.

God has no single precedent of failure. He who created the heavens and the earth from nothing in six days cannot be a failure. He alone is the One who made promises before the world began, when nobody was there to hold Him over His Word and still fulfilled them because He cannot lie. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began: Tit. 1:2. He definitely cannot fail.

I don't have a single experience in all my life of when God failed me and no man can ever prove that God ever failed. Somebody asked me if I had ever prayed before and didn't receive an answer. I replied, ‘Yes’, and then he remarked that it means God failed me. No, God didn't fail!! I only failed to receive an answer. The book of Hebrews talks about the fathers of faith who had the promise but did not receive it till they died, yet they knew that God did not fail but He only had better plans unknown t o t hem. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect: Heb 11:40 (NIV).

God gave Isaiah the prophecy of the coming Messiah which did not come to pass hundreds of years after. But today we are witnesses that God cannot fail because the promise has been fulfilled. Someone might say God has failed him and so he wants to give up on God. Another might lament, ''I’m giving offering, paying tithes and pledges and nothing is happening. I'm not giving again” With or without your offering God is God and He is not a failure. Who will dare judge the Almighty or examine Him? With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of judgment, and taught Him knowledge, and showed to Him the way of understanding?: Isa. 40:14.
Today God is saying to you, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?: Jer. 32:27. There is no promise that He cannot and will not fulfil. Never doubt God anymore; I make proud to tell you that He will not fail you. He is not a failure. He is faithful. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; Heb. 2:2.
