God is good all the time and Praise and Thanks be to God
20 Sept 2007: It’s just amazing how God works, He knows every single thing that had happened, is happening, and is going to happen…He knows me very well and He knows you very well too… Many things, in fact, in everything, only He has the say, but rest assure that no matter what He say, it is always for the best.. Below is the devotional material which my friend, Benji sent to me and the rest every morning…This material, "He is the Beginning and the End" is so timely, that i decided to post it so that many of you will be bless as well…
He Is The Beginning And The Ending "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty". Revelation 1: 8 (KJV) "ALPHA" is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and indicates the beginning. The Lord said, "I am Alpha and Omega", that means He is the beginning and the ending. In other words, the Lord is saying, "I am the beginner and the finisher of your faith". Above all, the Lord is declaring to you and me that, "I have the first word in your situation. And I have the final word in your situation!" You could have heard of some kind of heart breaking news about your job, relationship, finance or maybe you have heard the doctor’s medical report that shocked you.
My friend, whatever you’re going through right now is just temporal only, it’s not eternal. Do not agree with your situation now, and refuse to stay in your current circumstances. Whatever you have heard from man will never remain the same forever because man doesn’t have the final word for your situation. The Lord alone has the final word for your situation. The good news is, the Lord God Almighty is in the active business of turning things around you for your good and His glory. The Bible says that the Lord took all our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, when He hung on the cross. (Matthew 8:17). He took your sickness upon His body and paid for your healing with His blood. He became poor on the cross so that you might have the abundance. He took your place on the cross, so that you can take His place and live again. You tell me now; do you still have to agree with your temporal situation and live a life that the Lord never intended for you to live? Or should you wait upon the Lord for things to change according to His final and eternal word? Dearest, you can hear much heart-breaking news from man but the Lord’s final word can change your destination and future. The Lord went to the cross not to break your heart and disappoint you, but He went to the cross to save you and give you life abundantly. He holds your future. He knows your destiny. He is the beginning and the end. For He alone has final word in your situation.
Today’s Prayer, Dear Father in heaven, Thank you so much for your leadership and Lordship in my life. My words are not enough to thank You for everything that You have done for me. Truly, You’re the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending in my life. You alone have the final word in every areas of my life. Lord, I believe man’s words are temporal but Your word are eternal. Father God, help me to focus on You at all times. Hold my hand and lead me to Your ways. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. —
Regards,
Benjamin
It’s a Year of Overflowing…
