GOD IS DEPENDABLE - THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: WEDNESDAY, 26TH JANUARY, 2022 
(TIMOTHY AND TITUS, COMPANIONS OF PAUL) 

TOPIC: GOD IS DEPENDABLE 

TEXT: TITUS 1:1-5

1. Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,
2. in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,
3. but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
4. To Titus, a true son in [our] common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5.  For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you --

MESSAGE:
Today, Apostle Paul reminds us of one of the attributes of God in verse 2 of our text, wherein, he says "... in hope of eternal life which God, who Cannot lie, promised before time began..." In Hebrew 6:18, we are reminded that "... it is impossible for God to lie... " In our text Apostle, Paul also reminded us of the promise of God on eternal life. The link is absolutely important. God made a promise to give eternal life to all that believe in Him and receive His son Jesus Christ (John 3:16). Our acceptance or belief in His word is built on the faithfulness of God who cannot lie. His word is yes and amen. 

It is equally on this note that God desires us to cultivate this character so that we will live as His children. He says "But let your yes be simply "yes" and your "no", be simply "no", lest you fall into judgment (James 5:12). In the same vein, our Lord Jesus Christ admonished us in Matthew 5:37, "But let your "yes" be "yes" and your "no", no, 'for whatever is more than these is from the evil one." God demands that in all our relationship with Him and with each other we must show honesty, integrity and firmness in upholding the truth. 

PRAYER: 
Lord, grant us the grace to attain Your character of honesty in our relationship with You and our fellow men that our lives will bring glory to Your holy name. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
