A God That Can Never Fail

God is our father and He is “I Am that I Am”.  He is“I Am the Bread of Life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51), “I Am the light of the world” (John 8:12), “I Am the Door of the Sheep” (John 10:7,9) “I Am the Good Shepherd” (John 10:11,14), “I Am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25),“I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6), and “I Am the True Vine” (John 15:1, 5). Before I had a personal relationship with God I used to take Him for a God that is far away in Heaven; a God that has to take ages to reach, that even when you eventually reach Him, He would take eternity to give answer to one’s prayer. So I considered Him too slow. How wrong I was. Our God, Yahweh, Jehovah Adonai, I Am who I Am is present, accessible, and near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Ps 107:13), forgiveness (Ps 25:11), and guidance (Ps 31:3). His experience is not future expectation but a present reality.

His name I Am is self-sufficient and self-existent (Acts 17:25); it stands as a person, an attribute, a source, and an experience.  He is wisdom (Proverbs 8). God is who He claimed to be. He is according to His claim. You cannot know Yahweh if you believe that He is not. He is not everything yet He knows everything (Ps 139:7-13).  I failed to know who God was because I saw Him as transcendent. I never saw Him as a father that I could have an intimate relationship with because I did not have the wisdom which is Jesus Christ. Jesus is God’s wisdom and the word of God. We are called to pursue wisdom above all things; it is more precious than gold and sweeter than honey.

God is God. God and all that belongs to God – His wisdom, truth, qualities, love, power, glory, peace, grace, righteousness, consistency, holiness,and splendor – are all appropriate to God, and they are unlike anything else.  There is nothing comparable in heaven or on earth.

The wisdom of God is Jesus Christ. He is the wisdom we desire. He is the wisdom we must have. Jesus Christ is the personification of absolutely every divine quality – love, truth, beauty, power, peace, grace, and Wisdom. Wisdom is always with God, it abides with his throne. The love of wisdom is the wisdom of God.

God has proved what He claimed to be, not an event but a person. Let God be wisdom in your life. He says in Psalm 46 that He is a present help in trouble, and verse 10 says ‘I am God”. He is God of yesterday, and today and forever (Heb. 13:8). He was, He is and He will still be the bread of life, light of the world, door of the sheep, good shepherd, resurrection, the way, the truth and the life, and the true vine. Believe that God is all that He says He is.  He was resurrected in the life of Lazarus, He has been resurrected since His death and He will be resurrected in His second coming. He can never fail. Hold on to Him, you must not have an iota of doubt, for He will surely give you the expected end both spiritually and physically. There is no other God beside Him (Isa 44:8), and He reigns forever.

God relates to you exactly the way you relate with Him (Jeremiah 23:23). I took Him to be a God far off and He related with me as a God far off and now that I see Him as God at hand, I am enjoying a personal and intimate relationship with Him. You have the free will to decide who you believe Him to be and whether you will follow Him or not (Rev 3:20).

God has commanded us not to be afraid but just to believe (Mark 5:36). If you will not believe, you will not be established (Isa.7:9). I believe Him to be a God that can never fail. This is the truth anyway, and the truth will always be the truth.  God can never fail whether or not I believe in him. Believing in His truths, however, is all we need to increase us spiritually and physically. Application of knowledge is power and wisdom.

Faith is a gift given to us to access every heavenly treasure. You need faith and obedience of faith to apply and activate knowledge of truth in your life. Let the faith mingle with grace (Eph. 2:8) so that you can enlighten your mind and strengthen your will to believe the truth in order to yield fruit in your heart. Obtain the grace by prayer and through impartation of the Holy Spirit. Grace is the empowering presence of God enabling you to be who He created you to be and to do what He has called you to do. God’s grace gives us the desire and the power to do his will.

God is immutable; He is unchanging; He is absolutely reliable and trustworthy (Mal. 3:6). The conclusion of the matter is to fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man (Eccl. 12:13). His glory shall radiate your soul in Jesus’ name.

Perhaps you have not come in contact with Jesus Christ the great deliverer, or you need to restitute your way.  It is not too late to know Him. All you need to do is declare Him as your Lord and Savior, and confess and repent from your sins. He will save you and give you a brand new beginning. Afterward, pursue the spiritual things to give your soul and heart the permanent peace and rest they deserve.
