God is omnipotent! God
is the everlasting King! The bible considers lie as an obsession that is
absolutely impossible for God to embark on: “In
hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the
world began”(Titus 1:2) .
Similarly,
it goes further: “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”
(Hebrews 6:18).
Most times, people
assume that God’s inability to lie is connected to His holy and righteous
nature since lie is tantamount to transgression. Perhaps, in contradistinction,
God is either conscientious or vigilant to avoid committing sin in accordance
to the scripture: “Be
sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”(1 Peter 5:8).
No doubt, the
assumption is partially correct. The reason is simple; God’s nature is never in
sync with deceit and falsehood, and therefore He cannot walk crookedly because
He himself is the truth: “Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life …” (John 14:6). However, God is neither sober nor vigilant in
order not to lie because He is the supreme judge, and therefore can’t be
accountable to His inferior or subordinates, hence, needless of wariness.
Nevertheless, it goes beyond that.
Firstly, it’s simply
impossible for God to lie because His words take supremacy over all things, and
secondly, lies are apparently non-existent to God because all circumstances and
words are subject to the voice of God. This is because, when he speaks forth,
irrespective of what He says, it correspondingly comes into existence because
He is the Alpha and Omega. God’s word holistically disregards all
circumstances, situations and changes every status quo to be in harmony because
his words are supernatural (above or beyond nature): “… the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit and they are life. (John 6:63). For example, when God changed Abram and
Sarai’s name to Abraham and Sarah respectively, the spirit inside His word
transformed their bodies to synchronize with the word and produced what it
talked about. He called Abram; Abraham (father
of many nations), a metamorphosis took place. He was transfigured
accordingly, and a supposedly ‘lie’ became truth. Ditto was Sarah.
Similarly, when Jesus
said that “Lazarus
sleepeth” (John 11:11), despite the fact that he was
deceased, buried and already stinking in the grave for four days, status quo
changed, and death that held him bound disappeared in conformity with a
superior order. Guess why? God’s word is power-packed: “For the word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of souls and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). Essentially, God’s word isn’t mere words but
purpose-driven seeds: “So
shall my word be that goeth out of my mouth; it shall not return void, but it
shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto
I sent it” (Isaiah
55:11).
Consider also the
encounter of Jesus with the fig tree (Matthew
21:19). In other words, God doesn’t speak sporadically, He
operates both in season and out of season because He is the creator, and to Him
alone, every knee shall bow (Romans
14:11). When God declares that you’re healed, delivered and
blessed; the spirit in the spoken words has the capacity to perform it. What a
great privilege we have to be God’s spokespersons! What do you think?
It therefore implies
that God’s word concerning us is more than requests or petitions, rather acts
of God bequeathing His possessions to us by Will (legal directions for the disposal of one’s property after death).
And because Wills are ambulatory, Jesus died so that the will could become
active and effective, not subsequently, but now.
Now, as God’s Will (word)
says you’re blessed; I have given you an open door; you’re the light of the
world; you’re a peculiar people; you’re powered by Zoe, among others; ain’t
you? Of course, there is no contest, that’s final. As God has spoken that all
things are yours, so they are:“Therefore,
let no one glory in men. For all things are yours”(1Corinthians 3:21). In addition, the Will says “According as his divine power hath
given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue ( 2 Peter 1:3). All
required of us is to accept it and take possession with our mouth disregarding
whatsoever circumstances or situations we might see around us at the moment,
for we walk by faith, and
not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Principally, our
duty is to accept and operate in absolute consciousness of what God has said
because beneficiaries of a legacy (Will) can only take advantage after taking
possession. Our Lord rules, and reigns over all things! Now, the breaking news!
Guess what? As
He is, so are we in this world! (1 John 4:7)
We have His identity
and likeness, and operate by same principles and rules. As pilots disregard
road-traffic lights and signs, but solely submit to superior directives, so are
we to ignore circumstances and situations we might see, but punctiliously
submit to the words of God which is able to give us a goodly inheritance.( Acts 20:32)Praise the Lord!
Another mind blowing
news; He speaks through us! When we speak in His name, He authenticates it, and
the anointing in His word performs it because everything under heaven and earth
are under mandate to obey him; “While
He yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice out
of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased; hear
ye him” (Matthew
17:5).
Today, we’re His voices
in our respective world with full authority and audacity representing the Lord
of Hosts. It didn’t end there; we are both the administrators, executors and
beneficiaries of the glorious legacy.
Hence, we ain’t going
to be intimidated by the devil because, we know who we are; we are powered by
Zoe! Greater is He in us than he that is in the world! We operate with the
authority from above, and we have overcome the world because whatsoever is born
of God overcomes the world (1
John 5:4). The prominent question is; are you born of God?
