TOPIC: ONLY GOD’S WILL MUST HAPPEN
_” My dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” 3John 1:2_
God’s will for the human family – male and female is to prosper and be in health. God desires that man will be fruitful, multiply, to procreate and fill all the earth, therefore God blessed the man and gave them dominion for them to fulfill the creation purpose.
The first human race was swept off from the face of the earth by flood because of its moral corruption, but God preserved one family, the household of Noah.
God repeated his will for man to Noah when he said unto him and his son ” Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth. Genesis 9: 1.
At this point no one can ever ague that God wants the best for human race, but Nimrod the son of Cush, the grandson of Ham, son of Noah planned with his brethren to build a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven that they may live together and not scatter abroad as God wills. This plan was against God’s will for humanity. So the Lord came down and confused their tongue that they may not understand one another’s speech because they had one language and one speech (Genesis 11:1-8).
The human family was forced to scatter abroad as God wanted. The schemes of the Tower of Babel builders ended in shame and defeat.
Unmistakable evidence is given that the Creator of the universe, the One infinite in wisdom and love and truth is the Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth, and that none can with impunity defy His powers.
God’s children in this critical time full of uncertainties and insecurities all over, Jehovah God has the final say in every situation. Trust Him today and forever, His perfect will shall surely come to pass no matter what the situations that militate against us. His will is that we prosper, be in health, be fruitful, multiply, subdue the earth and live to preach the Gospel. Amen.
SONG:
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live;
Refrain
I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee my blessed savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I fell the sacred flame.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
*PRAYER* :
Our loving Father, you are the Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth, let your perfect will be done in our lives and situations, turn down every plan that is against your own plan for our well-being. Confuse every tongue speaking against our prosperity, bless us to prosper and multiply us to be fruitful to fulfill your purpose in Jesus name. Amen.
