God can still do it by Pastor E.A Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2023

TOPIC: GOD CAN STILL DO IT

MEMORISE:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” – (2 Peter 3:8)

READ: ISAIAH 55:10-13 (KJV)

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

MESSAGE:

Has God made a promise to you and its fulfilment is still outstanding? I want you to know that God is never late and He can still do what He promised within the remaining few days of the year. As long as you are very sure that God made that promise to you and you have been doing your own part in getting that thing He promised, I can assure you that He will do it before the end of this year as He promised. Don’t give up hope.

The importance of a statement is determined by the person making the statement. Imagine that a sick person admitted in a hospital is told by a cleaner that he or she would be discharged on a particular date. The patient will be correct to doubt the statement because the cleaner does not have the authority and knowledge needed to discharge him or her. However, if the doctor comes, observes the patient and says, “You will be going home today”, then the patient can begin to rejoice. The One who gave you promises at the beginning of the year is He, who is called the Truth according to John 14:6. Numbers 23:19 says: “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”

This God is called the Most High and the Almighty, so there is nothing He cannot do.

He has shown up at the last minute for many people before. Since He has done it before, He will do it again for you, in Jesus’ name. As long as you are sure that He promised you and you also know that you haven’t done anything to make Him change His mind. Please keep your faith alive because James 1:6 says if you doubt in your heart, then you will not receive what you ask for.

If however, you have not been faithful to God or you have not been playing your part for the fulfilment of His promises to you, come before Him today and confess your errors. Forsake them and ask Him to forgive you. God is merciful and if He sees your sincerity, He will in no wise cast you away (John 6:37).

KEY POINT:
Keep your faith alive. God can still bring His promises to pass before the end of this year.

HYMNAL: 21 – STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

REFRAIN:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

3. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
