“…this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which The Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before…” ACTS 1:16
“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” MATTHEW 5:18
Our hopes, dear precious children of God, must be built on nothing else than the ever faithful and assuring Word of God. We have a hope that is established on better promises, which promises also are established on a better covenant. This hope scripture says maketh not ashamed (ROMANS 5:5). As God’s Word’s says, “They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed” PSALM 34:5. Where can a man go to find rest for his soul? Nowhere than God’s Word which abides forevermore! Great hope we have, not in some vague promises, but the ever living Word of God which forever is settled in heaven (PSALM 119:89). Because it is impossible for God to lie, scripture says that those who run for refuge to lay hold on this hope have a strong consolation (HEBREWS 6:18). There is a great incentive in building one’s hope on God’s Word, reason being that scriptures will always be fulfilled. Receive a better witness in Jesus when He says that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the scriptures till they all be fulfilled. Nothing ever in heaven and earth receives approval from God than His Word. His name and image is bound to His Word, and since He cannot lie, He always hastens to perform His Word. God is not some politician who gives promises which sometimes may be empty to make you feel good and draw votes from you. The fact that God has lifted His Word above all His names says a lot about the value He puts on His Word (PSALM 138:2). A man is no different from his Words, neither is God from His Word. Where we draw the line is, it is easier for men take back what they said, it is easier for them to renege, but with God, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of His Word to fail (LUKE 16:17). Like the Prophet Balaam said, ” Has He said, and shall He not do it? or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” NUMBERS 23:19
You have a legitimate reason, matter of fact a stronger reason to bank on God’s Words, because scripture must needs be fulfilled at all cost. God is bound by His Words and has His reputation on the line, and it will be easier for the everlasting hills to be removed than for His Word to fail. His Word will always succeed in whatsoever it is sent into, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” ISAIAH 55:11. There was a great famine in Samaria during the days of the Prophet Elisha. Scripture says that the city was besieged cutting every traffic until an ass’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver. The severity of the famine had turned people into cannibals eating their own children for food (1 KINGS 6:25-29). It was in this crazy moment that Elisha gave a Word from God addressing the situation. Tomorrow about this time he said, a measure of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two measure of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. This according to the chief economist at that time in Samaria was the greatest joke ever told. Hear what he had to say about God’s Word given through Elisha, “Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if The LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof” 2 KINGS 7:2. The next day as God promised, same time, He used four leprous outcasts to turn the situation around and fulfilled His Word, and guess what, that man who ridiculed the fulfillment of God’s Word died that same day it happened. He saw the fulfillment but never enjoyed it according to God’s Word, ” And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria: And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if The LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died” 2 KINGS 7:18-20
God’s Word will always have to be fulfilled, it must be fulfilled, none other will suffice seeing His image is bound to what He says. For this reason those who hope in His Word has a better hope. there is no shadow of turning in Him (JAMES 1:17). Trust Him and wait expectantly on Him, knowing you will never be disappointed. Your life will never be the same again. In The Name that is above all names, Jesus Christ, Son of The Living God. Amen and Amen!
