God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?” Numbers 23:19 NLT Have you ever found yourself waiting on God for something He promised you, only for circumstances to seem as though the exact opposite was happening? Maybe you prayed, believed, and trusted, yet the situation became more difficult. Perhaps you began to wonder if God had forgotten you or if His promises would ever come to pass. One thing we must always remember is that God’s goodness is everlasting. His faithfulness is not determined by our circumstances, and His promises do not expire because of delays. The Bible tells us that God is not a man that He should lie. If He has spoken concerning your life, He is able to bring it to pass. What He says, He will do. What He promises, He will fulfill. Throughout Scripture, we see countless examples of God’s faithfulness. Abraham waited many...

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most.

Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...

Read: Hebrews 11 Hello Friend! What is the most impossible thing you think can never happen? Or what is something you pray for, but deep inside, you think it’s very unlikely to happen? Have you ever wondered why it’s easier to doubt than to believe? Life often presents really big challenges to us and sometimes, we give in because our minds have been limited to believing some things can not happen. We often get carried away with disbelief, forgetting that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).  Why is it that it is much easier to doubt than to believe? Have you also wondered why it is easier to believe that bad things will happen, rather than accept that good things will happen? The Bible also makes us understand that as a man thinketh in his heart so, is he. Directly or indirectly, we can say that we are a product of the level of faith we have and the things we believe and accept in our lives.  Today, let’s decide to step out of our comfort zone where we ...
