...has He spoken, and
shall He not make it good? – Num 23:19
Admittedly, the Christmas story is full of
wonderful metaphors and rich symbolism. And among the myriad of lessons that we
can draw from it is one that’s most profound: the lesson of faith.
Faith is vital to life. As Believers,
everything that pertains to life and godliness has been provided for us in
Christ (Eph 1:3; 2Pe 1:3,4); all we have to do is receive it by faith. Each one
of us has something that we’re believing God for; a life-transforming miracle
that we expect to happen in our life based on a scriptural revelation, a word
of knowledge, a prophecy, etc.
Whatever it is, you need faith to birth that
miracle; that’s why the Christmas story is inspiring and encouraging. Because
if there’s one thing it tells us, it’s that God keeps to His word.
It started with the promise to Eve in Eden,
then through Moses, David, Isaiah and the prophets. For years, the Israelites
heard and heard the prophecy that a Messiah was going to come to deliver them
from their enemies. Judges came and left, kings came and left, prophets came
and left; as a matter of fact, there was even no prophetic voice for 400 years
before Angel Gabriel came.
And just like that, a virgin girl in one small
town conceived, and a 4,000-year-in-the-making prophecy began to unfold.
Beloved, you may be going through a period of silence right now. It may look as if nothing
is happening. You may feel as though God has reneged on His promise to you. But
like the open-eyed prophet, Balaam, declared “God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He
doesn’t change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a
promise, he keeps it,” (Num 23:19 GW).
Go back to your prayer closet today and pray
about that long sought after miracle, for as sure as the first Christmas, it
will surely come to pass.
AMEN.
More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
