God is not a Failure II

Text: II Kings 7: 1-20
More Lessons: Isa 55: 8-1 1
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Ephesians 4-6

Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the TLORD, T o morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria: II Kgs. 7:1. One day Prophet Elisha said that by the next day the famine in the land would end and there would be overflowing provision. But a man looked at the prophet and said it was not possible even if God would open the windows of heaven. The prophet told him that it would happen but the man would not partake of it, and everything happened just as Elijah declared. The unbelieving man was wondering how on earth the supply would come; he didn't know that before God makes a promise He already has excess of the provision needed to meet the promise.

Nothing can compete with the faithfulness of God. He will always make good His Word; as long as you stay with Him you cannot end up a failure. It is only if you turn back from serving and trusting Him that you become a failure. It is the lie of the devil that makes you think that you will fail when you are with God. But I want you to know that no matter how long a lie lives, the truth will catch up with it. The faithfulness of Jesus is the truth. According to Evang. Reinhard Bonke, 'You can't kill the truth; even when you do, it will resurrect on the third day.'' The lie of the devil that says you will be a failure is about to expire in your life. Just keep holding on to Him who is the Truth and you will see that every failure in your life will turn to success.

If you believe that you will not fail, then you should always live in gratitude and thanksgiving to God, regardless of what you are going through. Even when you seem to meet failure face to face, just keep giving God praise, knowing fully well that with God involved something will happen to change the situation. Do you join those who complain? If so, it shows you have accepted failure. Rather, be like the three Hebrews who insisted on the faithfulness of God even in the face of the fiery furnace (Dan 3: 1-30). They were so confident that God would deliver them, but even if He did not, He was still not a failure.

Have a permanent consciousness of thanksgiving whatever happens or does not happen, Do not allow doubt and double mindedness in your heart. If you have not received what you are praying for, stay on with God. God is not a failure

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to help you trust His faithfulness even when there are no signs.
* T ell God you believe He is the God of miracles.
* T ell God nothing you believe Him for will fail, in the name of Jesus.
* Give God thanks because He cannot fail.
