THE WILL OF GOD ALONE IS ALWAYS CARRIED OUT
There is ONLY one God. He
has always existed before time began, still exists and will exist FOREVER.
There is none like Him. There can never be any like Him, not now, not ever. He
is the Creator of the Universe, the Heavens, the earth and all that is them.
God is Holy, Perfect,
Immortal, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Magnificent, Glorious, Mighty,
Loving, Merciful, Kind, Adorable, Great, Righteous, Good, Gracious, Wise; in
fact, there is simply no limit to the amount of beautiful words in which to describe
His greatness.
God is Majesty. He alone is
King forever. He does not depend on anyone or anything for His existence. No
one or absolutely nothing is greater than God Almighty. Everything in creation
depends on God. Apart from Him, nothing exists.
When we say God is
Omnipotent, it means His power has no limit. It means ALL authority belongs to
Him. It means there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that can withstand Him. It means God
alone can do all things.
When we say God is
Omnipresent, it means He is everywhere. It means His presence permeates the
entire Universe and nothing is hidden from Him. He can see everything. As His
Word tells us in Jeremiah 23:23-24, "I am a God who is everywhere and not
in one place only. No one can hide where I cannot find him. Do you not know
that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth?
When we say God is
Omniscient, it means He is the embodiment of ALL knowledge and Wisdom. God
knows everything. There is no limit to His knowledge. He sees all and knows
all. Nothing is comparable to His Divine Wisdom. It is written in the Bible
Book of Job 9:4, God is so wise and powerful; no man can stand up against Him.
God is Greater than the
greatest, Wiser than the wisest, Mightier than the mightiest, Bigger than the
biggest, Better than the best, Holier than the holiest, Finer than the finest,
more Precious than the most precious.
With whom can God be
compared? Absolutely no one. He alone is God. When you take time to study
creation and its wonders, you cannot but marvel at the greatness of God.
In spite of all God's
qualities, attributes and magnificence clearly displayed in the order of the
Universe as evidence, there are some who still say there is no God. They call
themselves atheists - how sad and unfortunate for such people!
The Bible says in Psalm
14:1, Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." God has made
Himself known in many visible ways so people who say He does not exist are to
be pitied and the reason I say so is because whether they like it or not,
whether they believe it or not, the fact that God is real and exists cannot be
changed.
The Bible says in Romans
1:20, Ever since God created the world, His invisible qualities, both His
eternal power and His Divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived
in the things that God has made.
Now if God's existence is a
sure fact, and these qualities and attributes of His are a sure fact, it then
follows that whoever has God as His Father is highly blessed and favoured
because God is a Father who can never fail.
It then follows that
whatever God decrees MUST happen - nothing in all of creation can stop God from
having His way in anything. What God says, must happen; what God wants, must
happen; what God wills, must happen, because He is God Almighty, the ONE AND
ONLY ONE.
God tells His people in
Isaiah 43:10-13, "People of Israel, you are my witnesses; I chose you to
be my servant, so that you would know me and believe in me and understand that
I am the only God. Besides me there is no other god; there never was and never
will be.
I alone am the Lord, the
only one who can save you. I predicted what would happen, and I came to you
aid. No foreign god has ever done this; you are my witnesses. I am God and
always will be. No one can escape from my power; no one can change what I do."
If this is what our Father
God Almighty says, it then means only His will MUST be done at all times. It
does not matter what man believes or thinks, only God's will is done. We are
told in the Bible book of Lamentations 3:37, The will of the Lord ALONE is ALWAYS
carried out.
If this is the case, which
indeed it is, why does man waste his time trying to do man's will? If no one
can change God's will as God Himself has clearly stated, it means man MUST
CONSCIOUSLY AND CONSCIENTIOUSLY seek God's will always to do it.
One may now ask, How will
one know if he or she is doing God's will or man's will? The answer is simple:
study God's Word in the Holy Bible to see and know His will and do ONLY His
will. As the Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, All Scripture is inspired by
God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults,
and giving instruction for right living, so that the person who serves God may
be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
We can also know God's will
from inspired messages given by God to men. As Scripture tells us in 1
Thessalonians 5:19-22, "Do not restrain the Holy Spirit; do not despise
inspired messages. Put all things to the test: keep what is good and avoid
every kind of evil."
We can also know God's will
by going to Church (Body of Christ) to thank God for all He has done for us,
worship Him sincerely and listen to His Word. As God says in His Word in
Malachi 2:7, "It is the duty of priests to teach the true knowledge of
God. People should go to them to learn my will, because they are the messengers
of the Lord Almighty.
Dear friend, you have read
today and now know that it is God's will ALONE that is ALWAYS done and
absolutely nothing can change it or stop it from happening. You have also known
how to know God's will as His Word has told you.
The next logical and right
step is to obey God's word, decide in your mind to know His will and also to do
His will as the ONLY assurance of salvation. The correct way to complete the
process is to repent sincerely of sin and unrighteousness, turn to the Lord
Jesus Christ, God's ONLY begotten Son, accept Him as Lord and Saviour of your
life and ask for His Holy Spirit to guide you to the truth about God.
Once you know God's will and
act on it sincerely and wholeheartedly, His blessings are sure to flow because
that is His promise (John 15:5-7).
God bless you today as you
heed His Word, accept, act on it and share with others in Jesus Mighty name,
Amen.
