MY CONFIDENCE IN 2016

Psalm: 125. 1. "They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever."

No matter what I'll face in 2016...
I have chosen to have confidence in a God who never fails...
A God was... Who is... And who shall remain...
A God who is not limited by earthly laws...
A God who is more than enough...
A God who loves me even more than I can imagine...

I have more confidence in the fact that...
He is bigger than ALL!
He is greater than ALL!
He is gracious and faithful beyond comparison!
He is El-Olam, The Everlasting... That means He remains the same!
He is Jehovah Shammah... That means he is always with me!
He is Jehovah Jireh, my provider... therefore I shall not be in want!
He is Jehovah Shalom, He is my peace even through the storms!
He is Jehovah El-shaddai; God Almighty.. That means He is bigger than all my problem!
He is Jehovah Rapha! I'm confident that I won't fall sick!
He is Jehovah Nissi! I'm not afraid because He is my banner!
My future is secured because God is my Alpha and Omega!
I call him Elohiym... The most high! He's higher than anything you can ever imagine!

I have confidence that the God who gave his only son will not hesitate to give me anything i ask from him according to his will!

I have confidence that the path of the righteous only shines brighter and brighter everyday... Therefore I can't have a better yesterday!

I have confidence that God will not fail me because he just cannot fail me!!!

This my God is just more than enough! I call him my ALL SUFFICIENT!

EVEN IF GOD DOESN'T SAVE US... HE REMAINS OUR GOD (Daniel 3:1-30. NIV)

Daniel 3:17 - If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.
v18 - But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.

I so much admire the bravery of this three Hebrew boys; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Their love for God was simply inexplicable!

Let's look at some vital points in the verse above;
1. These guys knew the kind of God they served. They understood very well that God was able to save them from the fiery furnace. They knew that saving them wasn't a big deal at all to God!

2. These guys also knew that despite all odds, God will always remain God. So they said "EVEN IF GOD JUST DECIDES NOT TO SAVE US..." From their statement you'll see that they were not just after what God will do for them, but what they will do for God. So they were prepared to face anything that will come their way... Even if it's not pleasant to them!

Beloved! you've got to learn to trust God AT ALL TIMES! irrespective of the circumstances, always know that God is GOD!
Sometimes things may not just go the way you planned it, don't worry, God is working EVERYTHING out for your good.
Even if you prayed to God for a particular thing and for some reason God decides not to do it... Just know that He's still God! That God did not answer your prayer, doesn't mean he can't or doesn't want to help you! No!!! God knows more than you do. He sees the end from the beginning. That's why he is called the Alpha and Omega!

Many Christians today especially ministers are so full of arrogance. Many claim to be wiser than God. That's why when they ask God for a particular thing and He doesn't do it based on their timing as humans... They begin to complain and shout at Him!

Now... Beloved! Permit me to ask you these:
If you prayed, believed, fasted and prepared for a particular exams, and somehow it just didn't work out the way you planned! Would you still love and trust God?

Even if you don't get admitted to the university this year as planned, would you still trust and love God?
Even if you lost your only source of income (Job), would you still trust and love God?
Even if you've been married for so many years without a child and a man of God says to you through God's word; be fruitful and multiply! (Maybe you've heard it too many times...) But Would you still trust and love God?
Even if you are at the verge of losing a loved one... Would you still trust and love God? Okay! Assuming the person eventually dies... Would you still trust and love God?

I want you to have the same mindset that this Hebrew boys had about God. That even if things doesn't work out as planned... God remains God. And our trust and love for him should not grow cold!

Do you love and trust God because he has always answered you whenever you call? What will happen on the day he just decides not to answer?
What will happen on the day he decides not to provide a particular thing for you... Would you still confidently call him your Shepherd?
By Jesus' stripes you were HEALED... Would you still trust and love God if somehow you just happen to see yourself in the hospital as a patient?

Personally I understand and admit that it's not easy... but with God ALL THINGS are possible!
I'm not wishing for anything negative to come our way... But beloved, I want you to have this consciousness that despite all odds, GOD REMAINS GOD. AND HE IS WORKING EVERYTHING... I MEAN EVERYTHING (even if its not pleasant at first to us) OUT FOR OUR GOOD

Remember, don't love God just because of the things he has been doing for you, but because HE IS YOUR GOD and HE HAS NEVER FAILED...!

LET FAITH DRIVE YOUR LIFE! Hebrews 11:1-40

Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR… the evidence of things NOT SEEN! Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

Just imagine this conversation between Abraham and Terah

Abraham:         Dad I'll be travelling
Terah:               Ok My son… But where are you travelling to?

Abraham:         I don’t know… but I’ll be leaving tomorrow

Terah:               Are you okay?

Abraham:         Yes Dad, Am fine!

Terah:               Then I think you’re insane!?!

Abraham:         If that’s what it means to obey God, then; yes I am

***

Noah didn’t have to wait for the rain to start falling before he built the ark as instructed by God… ‘that was faith’

Sarah getting pregnant at old age was cool and awesome. But beloved, Sarah delivering the child at that age was super-awesome!!! That’s because child birth is not a joke… That’s why the bible expressly said “through faith Sarah received strength…” ‘that was faith’

Now note this that you ain’t having faith IN YOURSELF… but IN A GOD that is able to do exceedingly.
Faith is not what you’ve seen… but what you hope for!
So if it’s seen already, then it’s no longer faith. Faith is only exhibited when you’ve not seen it yet, but still choose to believe that it’s there!

Faith is when Abraham and Sarah had passed the natural age of child bearing, but still choose to believe, wait, and agree that it’s possible to have a child!
Faith is when the woman with the issue of blood forced her way into the crowd forgetting who was watching just to reach out to the Master!

Faith is when David decides to challenge an experienced warrior with just a sling and a stone!
Faith is when a carnal man like peter decides to step on water without considering if he will sink!
Faith is when the three Hebrew boys refused to bow to another god without considering if they will die in the fire!
Faith is when Abraham left his home town without knowing where he was heading to!
Faith is when Moses’ mother threw baby Moses into water, without considering if he will be killed!

Faith is when Daniel knew what lied ahead for the man who prays, but still decides to pray!
The list goes on and on! Know these that having faith in God may seem foolish to the natural man, but it’s worth a billion dollars to a believer!

Beloved! Has God said anything to you? Then hang on… don’t give up on him; cause Faithful is he that said it!

Has God asked you to do anything? Then do it immediately… cause the one who said it, knows the end from the beginning!

Has God asked you to take any step? Then trust him… cause Faithful is he that said it!

Whatever it is God has said to you, no matter how long it may tarry, please don’t give up on HIM… HOLD-ON TO THE END!
Even if it sounds foolish, Just have faith! The people around you do not have to believe it before you trust God.

I rather foolishly have faith in God now, but testify later, than claim to be wiser than God now, and regret later!

Always remember that God is not a joker. He is a faithful God. He wouldn’t say a thing, if He cannot or would not do it!

From today, let faith DRIVE YOUR LIFE!
