GOD CANNOT LIE

In hope of eternal life which God, that cannot lie promised before the world began Titus 1:2. This scripture says that God CANNOT LIE.

I met a sister years ago who was trusting God for the fruits of the womb. As the months rolled into years with this unmet expectation, she became bitter with God. I am angry with God, she said to me one day. To her, God had lied. He had promised that she would not be barren but there she was with empty quivers. You see, this world has been created to run on laws and principles. Recently, I said that God gives us coconut to enjoy but does not peel it for us. He neither breaks the shell nor serves it in a plate for us. There are things that God does for us and the things we must do for ourselves.

It is our responsibility to allign ourselves with the principles and laws that govern this world. Lets look at the sister that was angry with God. The principle of the Kingdom says, come to God with thanksgiving and she is coming with anger, bitterness, complaining and murmuring. I can almost imagine her punching her password on the ATM of heaven for her baby and having WRONG CODE given back to her. Again, I say that you do not obtain Kingdom benefits with bitterness.

That God cannot lie is an eternal truth and so is ask and you shall recieve.  Are you asking? How about seeking and knocking? I have discovered that in life, it is those that seek that find. It is equally those that knock that get doors opened to them. Some doors, you approach with boldness and courage. Some other doors, you approach with wisdom. For some other doors, you approach with violence. Did the scripture not say that the violent takes it by force?

As I left a particular office with Treasure my daughter yesterday, I said indeed, our God never lies. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. May His holy name be praised forever more.
