DEPENDABLE GOD

May 23, 2014

One of the things I like about our God is that He is very dependable. Whatever He says He will do, He will surely do.  I tell people that there are some things that God cannot do, one of it is that God can never disappoint, because He is not a man that repents of his words. Come rain, come shine, come noon, come daybreak, He remains ever strong and dependable.

In 1 Kings 18, Elijah was to contest with four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal to confirm the most dependable God. The condition of the contest was that, each side would choose a bull and call upon their god to consume the bull with fire. Bible says, the prophets of Ball called upon Baal from morning till evening, but no response. They went to the extent of cutting themselves with knives maybe the sight of blood would move their god to action, but nothing happened.

However, when it was Elijah’s turn, because he understood that he served a God that neither sleep nor slumber, Elijah told them to even drench the bull with four water pots full of water. He never did any spiritual acrobatic display but instead, he only requested that Jehovah should swing into action. Bible says in verse 38 that, “Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.”

Our God is a very dependable God. He is always dependably available 24/7. He said when you call on Him, He will answer just to tell you that He is always there. However, Bible says, if you have faith like a seed of mustard, you will say to a mountain, move, and it will move, as such, you should not forget to remember that to enjoy the dependable God, faith is key.

Stay blessed.
