G.O’S MESSAGE:

Greetings, beloved family of The New Life Miracle Church! Today, we turn our hearts and minds to a profound truth—trusting in God’s steadfast faithfulness. In a world that is constantly changing and often uncertain, the faithfulness of God remains our sure foundation.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 assures us, “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” This verse reminds us that, regardless of the challenges we face, we can rely on God’s unwavering faithfulness to guide, protect, and sustain us.

God’s Unchanging Nature:

The faithfulness of God is rooted in His unchanging nature. Unlike human relationships that can be fickle and unpredictable, God’s character is steadfast and reliable. Hebrews 13:8 tells us, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” This consistency gives us confidence that His promises are true and His presence is constant.

Protection from Evil:

God’s faithfulness includes His protection over us. In a world where we encounter spiritual battles and evil influences, God’s promise to “keep you from evil” provides us with reassurance. Psalm 121:7-8 declares, “The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”

Establishing Our Steps:

To be established by God means to be firmly rooted and grounded in His truth. When we trust in His faithfulness, He directs our paths and secures our steps. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Cultivate Trust Through Prayer: Develop a deeper trust in God by spending time in prayer. Lay your concerns before Him and seek His guidance in every area of your life. Trust that He hears and answers your prayers according to His perfect will.

Stand on His Promises: Familiarize yourself with the promises of God found in Scripture. Memorize verses that speak of His faithfulness and let them be your anchor in times of uncertainty. Remember, “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?” (Numbers 23:19).

Reflect on Past Faithfulness: Take time to reflect on how God has been faithful in your past. Recounting His past deeds will strengthen your faith and remind you that He is always at work in your life. Psalm 77:11-12 says, “I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.”

In conclusion, trusting in God’s steadfast faithfulness is a journey of daily reliance on His unchanging nature and promises. As we place our trust in Him, He will establish our steps, protect us from evil, and guide us with His unfailing love. Let us anchor our lives in the certainty of His faithfulness and live with confidence in His unwavering support.

Prayer Points:

Heavenly Father, help us to trust in Your steadfast faithfulness, knowing that You are always with us.

Lord, protect us from all evil and guide our steps according to Your perfect will.

Father, strengthen our faith through Your promises, and remind us of Your past faithfulness in our lives.

Holy Spirit, cultivate a deep sense of trust and reliance on God’s unchanging nature within our hearts.

Call to Salvation:

If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and desire to experience His steadfast faithfulness, please pray this prayer with a sincere heart:

“Dear Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again. I invite You into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. Help me to trust in Your faithfulness and rely on Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
