God Cannot Lie!


Hebrews 6:12-20 “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.” (KJV)

Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO YOUR SEASON OF HARVEST. God is the one that is taking you into that season of harvest. You may think that you can labour; you think that by the wisdom of your life, and the ability of your hands that you can do it. Take a look at this, when God told Abraham that He was going to make him a father of many nations, by his own hands, labour and works of the flesh, Abraham caused something that God did not decree. But when God’s time came, God fulfilled his promise. You have tried it by your own strength and in your own way, but His own time has come, it is termed for you a SEASON OF HARVEST. God swore by himself because there was none greater for him to swear by, He has indeed committed himself and decreed of Himself that those things which he said concerning you and me, he will bring it to pass. You know when God searched in heaven, there was nobody there that he could swear by. He looked in the earth and saw that there was nobody that could establish anything beyond Him. So He swore an oath by Himself using as basis two immutable things –things that are infinite, that cannot change for all eternity– His word and His Name!

Numbers 23:19 “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?” (KJV)

THE STRENGTH OF ISREAL

1 Samuel 15:29 “And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.” (KJV)

The scripture here describes God as the strength of Israel that cannot lie. If there is a group of people that the world has done everything to wipe off the face of the earth, and totally annihilate, it is Israel, as a nation. In 70 AD, invaders came upon Jerusalem and burnt it to ashes. No single block remained on another in that city. The people were scattered upon the face of the earth. There were few remnants and in 135AD, another group of invaders came in and burnt down the whole nation. Many have determined that the nation of Israel will neither stand nor exist. In different nations of the earth, the Jews are there because of these different scattering.

However, in 1948, it pleased God to begin to gather together Israel again. That is what only the Strength of Israel can do. That nation came back together, and was established, according to the pre-determinate counsel of God in Isa 66:8. The One who established that nation against all odds is THE STRENGTH OF ISRAEL and he wants you to know that as long as Israel is in existence, He will fulfil His WORD concerning you, He will not fail you. You have good assurance to trust in the WORD because ‘THE STRENGTH OF ISRAEL’ will not lie or repent seeing that he is not a man.

Men can make promises and fail to live up to it, but God wants you to look up to him because He desires to take all the glory for your life alone. God cannot share His glory with another. He cannot lie concerning what He has promised you.

Romans 11:29 “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”

God cannot forget those promises He has made concerning you. You don’t have to consider your age when it comes to the promises of God concerning you. It is not wise to use clock and calendar as a yardstick for measuring the fulfilment of God’s promises.

Age is one of the things that do not matter in the counsel of God. Assuming, you are due for marriage and you think that God has forgotten you…No! God has not forgotten you. Promises have been made and oaths have been sworn concerning you and because of that heaven and earth are both bound and locked together to fulfil those promises. That is what God can do in the life of everyone who believes Him.
