GOD IS FOR US

"Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale" (Isaiah 29:22). 


God is for us. He has always been. This is why He continues to send messages of love and redemption to us from time to time. He wants you to have peace, joy and abundance of prosperity. He wants it to be well with you and for you to prosper in those good things you lay your hands upon. I have found that if God were to be the only factor to be considered, there will not be a single problem in our world. Even then, in the world of those who put their faith in Him, God's grace and power of redemption make it possible to live a fulfilled life. His covenant of redeeming grace that is ever at work ensures that problems and afflictions are not permanent tenants in our lives. 

As an evidence to confirm what God is able to do for you from now henceforth, the testimony is given of Abraham, the great ancestor of the Jews whom God redeemed. God began with Abraham by redeeming him from idolatry and from among the idolaters and workers of iniquity with whom he lived. God redeemed him and brought him into a new experience that turned him into the acclaimed father of faith. God blessed him, made him great and also made him a blessing. And then, to cap it up, God gave Abraham and his wife Sarah a son appropriately named Isaac to give them joy and laughter in their old age. The birth of Isaac was also to ensure that all divine promises to Abraham were fulfilled. God set what He did for Abraham as a pattern of what He would do for all who would believe in Him as Abraham believed, regardless of their age or any other limiting human factor. 

To make the promise sure, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to redeem mankind from every curse, from afflictions and from every power of darkness so that we may access the blessings with which He blessed Abraham (Galatians 3:13-14). Because of what Jesus Christ has done in coming to this world and paying the price for our redemption with His death on the cross of Calvary, you don't have to continue to suffer under the devil. You can be free from that sin. You can be made free from that affliction. You can be rescued from that imminent shame, disgrace and disappointment. For the Lord God has assured in His words to us today that you shall not be ashamed, neither shall your face wax pale. No more shall you be confused, not knowing what to do. Cry out to Him right now and say, "Lord, fulfill your words in my life". 

Believe God my beloved and go forth with the confidence of someone who is on the Lord's side. Face the future with hope and with the assurance of one who has the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob on his side. He did not fail the patriarchs of old because He is a faithful God who keeps covenants. He has ever been the confidence of the saints in all generations. He will not fail you, neither will He forsake you. Only be diligent to do your part by living for Him and obeying His words. Be sincere with Him, don't walk in deceit before Him because you can never outsmart the all-knowing and all-seeing God. It shall be well with you this year.
