Speaker 1: This is the day the Lord has made. We will
Speaker 1: be glad and rejoice in it. Shalom, wonderful family, and
Speaker 1: welcome to today's morning glory devotion. This is the brucelette
Speaker 1: from harvest shapled international commercy, and it is a privilege
Speaker 1: to be facilitating today's devotion. Let us kindly share a
Speaker 1: word of prayer. Father, will thank you for your goodness
Speaker 1: and kindness towards us. We pray and commit our time
Speaker 1: in your way this morning into your hands, brood over us,
Speaker 1: refresh and empower us. Lord, cause your light to shine
Speaker 1: on our heart and lives through your word, and transform
Speaker 1: us in Jesus's name. With prayiod thanks given a man,
Speaker 1: let us kind of take a conversion together. From Joshua
Speaker 1: chapter one, verse eight. Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This
Speaker 1: book of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,
Speaker 1: but I shall meditate in it today and night, that
Speaker 1: I may observe to do according to all that is
Speaker 1: written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,
Speaker 1: and then I will have good success a man. The
Speaker 1: theme for today's devotion is he won't fail. He won't fail,
Speaker 1: Written by Joshua amvia Law and as scripture reading is
Speaker 1: from Romance chapter four, verses sixteen through to twenty one.
Speaker 1: Romance Chapter four, verse sixteen to twenty one, reading from ANLT.
Speaker 1: Let us see the word of the Lord. So the
Speaker 1: promise is received by faith. It is given as a
Speaker 1: free gift, and we are all settin to receive it,
Speaker 1: whether or not we live according to the law of Moses,
Speaker 1: if we have faith like Abraham's. For Abraham is the
Speaker 1: father of all who believe. This is what the scriptures
Speaker 1: mean when God told him, I have made you the
Speaker 1: father of many nations. This happened because Abraham believed in
Speaker 1: the God who brings the dead back to life and
Speaker 1: who creates new things out of nothing. Even when there
Speaker 1: was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping, believing that
Speaker 1: he would become the father of many nations, for God
Speaker 1: had said to him, that's how many descendants you will have.
Speaker 1: And Abraham's faith did not waken, even though, at about
Speaker 1: one hundred years of age, he figured his body was
Speaker 1: as good as dead, and so was Sarah's. Wont Abraham
Speaker 1: never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith
Speaker 1: grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.
Speaker 1: He was fully convinced that God is able to do
Speaker 1: whatever he promises. Made the Lord add his blessings to
Speaker 1: the reading and hearing of his word, and all shall respond.
Speaker 1: Tongues be to God. Amen. He won't fail believed. Many
Speaker 1: of us will agree that failure is such an off
Speaker 1: put in word. No one likes it and no one
Speaker 1: wants it. But failure is part and parcele of the
Speaker 1: falling human condition. We are not perfect, and even the
Speaker 1: best of us fails sometimes often than not. Each success
Speaker 1: is preceded by many failures, and in the journey of
Speaker 1: becoming the best at something, failure is often one of
Speaker 1: the most silient teachers. Despite how conversant we are with failure,
Speaker 1: sometimes failing as somethings make us feel as if the
Speaker 1: world has come to an end and all hope is lost.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is the weight of repeated failures that suddenly
Speaker 1: creeps up on you and weigh you down. Continue to
Speaker 1: give up on everything and end it all. It may
Speaker 1: be something you have always succeeded at, but the one
Speaker 1: time you feel that it brought so much shame that
Speaker 1: you felt like digging a hole and burying yourself in it.
Speaker 1: Or it could be something you poured your hat and
Speaker 1: sold into that ineesplicably suddenly fell apart. Sometimes it is
Speaker 1: even so difficult to admit to ourselves that we have
Speaker 1: failed as something that we would rather expend energy and effort,
Speaker 1: assigning blame to everyone else. People deal with failure in
Speaker 1: different ways, But as children of God, how should we
Speaker 1: handle failure? Apostle Paul answers this impart by telling us
Speaker 1: in Romance chapter aid, verse twenty eight that and we
Speaker 1: know that all events work together for good to those
Speaker 1: who love God, to those who are the called according
Speaker 1: to His promise beloved. As children of God, we handle
Speaker 1: failure by simply trusting God and knowing that while we
Speaker 1: may fail, God cannot and will not fail. In Apostle
Speaker 1: Paul's commentary on the life of Abraham in Roman chapter
Speaker 1: fall from today's Scripture reading, he says that even when
Speaker 1: there was no reason to hope, Abraham kept hoping and
Speaker 1: trusting in God because he was fully convinced that God
Speaker 1: is able to do whatever he promises, and believed God
Speaker 1: has a promise and a purpose for each and every
Speaker 1: one of us. He tells us in Jerremrriach, chapter twenty
Speaker 1: nine is eleven. For I know the plans I have
Speaker 1: for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good
Speaker 1: and not for disaster, to give you a future and
Speaker 1: a hope. And Apostle Paul assures us again in Romans
Speaker 1: for sixteen that we are all setting to receive God's
Speaker 1: promises that he has given to us if we have
Speaker 1: faith like Abraham's a man. Sometimes you're feeling at something
Speaker 1: is simply God saying that he has a better plan
Speaker 1: for you. So if you put your trustfully in God
Speaker 1: along the journey, you'll realize at the end of the
Speaker 1: journey that despite the many little or big failures, the
Speaker 1: end result is much better than what you could have
Speaker 1: ever hoped for. So, despite what the enemy repeatedly was best,
Speaker 1: especially in trying times, failing as something does not make
Speaker 1: you a failure, just the same way as a human
Speaker 1: being does not become a cow because they restrict themselves
Speaker 1: completely to a diet of grass and beloved. One of
Speaker 1: the most tragic things a believer can go through is
Speaker 1: consistently harboring the thought or believe that God has failed them.
Speaker 1: This is one of the greatest weapons that the enemy
Speaker 1: uses against the children of God to rob them of
Speaker 1: their jaw and peace on the journey of faith. But today,
Speaker 1: why don't we remind and encourage ourselves with this truth
Speaker 1: that God can not and will not fail. And like
Speaker 1: our father Abraham, let us be fully convinced that God
Speaker 1: is able to do whatever he promises a man, let's
Speaker 1: kind of take our memory. Verse from Romance, Chapter Fall,
Speaker 1: Versus twenty and twenty one, Roman Chapter aall Versus twenty
Speaker 1: and twenty one, reading from the New Living Translation. Abraham
Speaker 1: never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith
Speaker 1: grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.
Speaker 1: He was fully convinced that God is able to do
Speaker 1: whatever he promises a man. Let us kindly share a
Speaker 1: word of prayer. Father, well, thank you for your weather
Speaker 1: has come to us today. Thank you for the privilege
Speaker 1: of being called your children, and for your good and
Speaker 1: perfect plans concerning us. Lord, we pray for the grace
Speaker 1: to hold on to our faith in You and your
Speaker 1: promises without just like Abraham, that we also may bring
Speaker 1: glory to You as we receive the fulfillment of your promises.
Speaker 1: Grant us the wisdom and grace to silence the enemy
Speaker 1: when it comes withspring doubt and discouragement to steal our
Speaker 1: joy and peace. Let your papers alone be established in
Speaker 1: our lives in Jesus's name. We pray with thanksgiving a man.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for more spirit
Speaker 1: fueled content or radio ACI today until we come away
Speaker 1: once again tomorrow. At the same time, do stay blessed
Speaker 1: and have a fruitful day. Shovel
