TOPIC: He Never Fails
MEMORISE: “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” – Psalm 73:26 (KJV)
READ: Isaiah 41:9-12 (KJV)
9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Colossian 1-4
Open Heaven For Today 2024 MESSAGE
When people seek solutions to their problems outside God, they end up failing, even if it sometimes seems they were solved initially. The advantage we have as God’s children is that we have a Father who never fails. The worst verdict any sick fellow can hear from a doctor is, “There is nothing more we can do.” However, when doctors reach their limit, the Almighty God can step into the situation and bring total healing because He is limitless.
Years ago, a woman told me that her daughter in the United States of America was pregnant and was about to deliver. The doctors discovered that the baby was too big to be delivered naturally, so they decided to perform a surgical procedure to bring the baby out. When they tested her blood, they discovered another issue – she was suffering from a very rare disease that would not allow her blood to clot. This meant that they also could not operate on her because she would bleed to death. God told me to ask the mother to bring two handkerchiefs for me to pray over. Even though I didn’t understand why, I relayed the message to her, and she obeyed. After praying over the handkerchiefs, I told her to travel to meet her daughter in the hospital and lay one of the handkerchiefs on her. When she got to her daughter, she laid one handkerchief on her as I instructed. The following morning, the handkerchief was missing. They searched everywhere, and they just couldn’t find it. The woman then said, “Thank God I brought two handkerchiefs.” She tied the second handkerchief firmly to her daughter’s wrist and asked the doctors to wait to see what happens. The doctors said they could only wait until 10am, after which they will bring out the baby and take their chances with the mother. By 8am however, the baby that they said couldn’t come naturally was delivered safely.’ If you cry out to Jesus when faced with an impossible situation, He will show up for you.
God said in Psalm 50:15 that you should call on Him in the day of trouble and He will answer. I want to advise that before that day of trouble comes, ensure that you are close to God so that He will listen to you when you call. Isaiah 59:1 says that He is not deaf, but sin can stop Him from hearing a person’s call. Live holy so that in the day of trouble, when you call on God, He will hear you.
KEY POINT
Everything else may fail, but Jesus never fails.
HYMN 5 – Blessed Assurance
1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angel descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3 Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
