God is not a man (July 27, 2020)

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Life application:

Your earthly father can promise to make you a successful business man or woman but he doesn’t control the economy, if he got sick and dies his dream for you is aborted and you will be lost for the rest of your life if you counted on him for your success. An army can protect and defend you but it cannot protect or defend you when your day to die arrive. Only God can, remember king Hezekias! (2 Kings 20:1-6 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’

Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” )

Not all men are able to keep their words, nor can Man be able to fulfill his promise by his own strength or ability. Just to say Man has limitation, there are things that Man can not do even though he promises it. Man can not give life to another man, life is a gift from God; man cannot make another man successful, success is a gift from God; man can give good advice to another man but understanding is from God; man can teach another to catch fish, but catching is a blessing from God. God is not a Man (man and woman), what He has promised in His for your life, He will perform it if you do according to His Word. God doesn’t lie or repent of His promises, He has the ability to perform His Word to whoever obey and agree with It.

How to pray through:

1. Thank The Heavenly Father for life, good health, revelation of His word. And acknowledge that He is the source of your life.

2. Thank The Lord of all the promises (peace, joy, happiness, long life, healing, restoration, prosperity, success etc.) that He has given you through His Word

3. Ask The Lord to perform His promises for you and your family

4. Thank The Lord for His lovingkindness and faithfulness toward you and your family.

In Christ Jesus Name. Amen
