TOPIC: KEEP HOPE ALIVE BY FAITH
AUGUST Wednesday 8th
TEXT: Job 19:25-27
KEY VERSE: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mark 11: 22
Let your faith take you into eternity. When God speaks into your life, it is not for today alone. When God makes a promise, He keeps it for eternity. Psalm 119:89, “Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.” If you believe the word of God for today alone, how does it work its fullness in your life? As the Lord has uttered His word and settled it in eternity, you also must believe and hold on to it till eternity. God had promised the Israelites through Abraham He would take them to the Promised Land. But He had also told them they would be in the land of slavery for four centuries. As prime minister of Egypt, the perks of office and comfort of Egypt was enough for Joseph to forget God's promise. But as a man of faith, he told his siblings, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” He kept in mind the promise of God. He knew God would do as He had promised. He knew that sometime in future, the horde of Israelites in Egypt would be set free as God had promised. He wanted to be part of the fulfilment of God’s promise. Though he be dead, his remains would rest in God’s Promised Land. How wonderful to tie one’s destiny to God’s eternal promise by faith.
Consider Moses who was brought up in Pharaoh's palace but refused to be part of a heathen royalty because he was looking into the future. Hebrews 11:24-27, “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.” God sent Elijah to the widow of Zarephat to be fed but when he got there, he met a widow who could not feed her family how much more an extra mouth. Elijah being a man of faith, knew that God who gave His word could not lie. By faith, he decreed surplus for the household and there was plenty to eat and drink throughout the season of famine. Trust God and never waver in faith.
Thought for the day: Faith has no expiry date; keep hope alive.
Song for the day: Believe it shall be well
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 82-84; Romans 8:19-39
