Who is the faithful and limitless God? pt 2

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8: 22 KJV

The word faithful means to be steadfast in giving affection or allegiance. It is to be firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty. We therefore say our God is Faithful, firm in adherence to His promises that He made to mankind and in observance of His duty.  It is God that has promised and He will fulfill that which he has promised. He is faithful in covenant keeping. Gen 8: 21-22. Therefore, the place that God’s covenant has put you, no one can take you away from that place; not even you can move yourself from there. Covenant is an agreement; God has an agreement with man and the agreement is sealed with His name and the blood of Jesus Christ.

There are certain things we do not pray for in this earth. You do not need to pray to sow seed or to harvest because there will always be seed time and as long as you able to plant a seed you will always reap the harvest. Once you plant a seed you will doubles reap it, and it will come without fail that harvest will come. If you sow a bad seed the harvest will come.

God is faithful in making a way. A lot of times, certain things overwhelms a lot of us. There are times we think our prayers will not be answered or that God will not fulfill His promises to us. In 1 Corinthian 10:13, God assures us through His words that no matter how hard the temptation and life trials may be, He will make a way out of it for us. All the tension and anxiety, pain and wonder whether we would make it or not. God would always make a way. Whatever it is we are going through, God is faithful who will not make a way of escape for us when we go through temptation and life challenges. I assure you that God will make a way, no matter how bad the situation may seem. As long as you are alive, there is hope for you in the name of Jesus.

We are pressed on all sides, for some it if because we fail to take the right decision at the right time, for some because we missed the way at a point in life, for some it is as a result of external factors, while for others it is as a result of our carelessness. That test that does not kill you will make you stronger.

Who is the faithful and limitless God?

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26 KJV

While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 KJV.

Our God is faithful in making a way for His people. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinth 10:13. God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which we can bear but He will make a way of escape for you.

God is faithful to establish you, in life, in your business, in your health, in your future. He alone can fill up that which is missing in your life. A lot of us are empty inside and we seek that thing or person that can fill us up. We are held down by fear, anxiety, pain, failure, lack; if we are experiencing any of these know this that God is faithful to make a way of escape for you and to establish you.

So many times we seek to end it all; people look at you and think that you are living the life they desire, but let us know that God is faithful and He is ready to save you from it all. Why? Our God is faithful to save.

In like manner, never for one day will God shut His doors to you. His doors are always open and He is ready to welcome you. There is never and will never be a day that God will not be faithful to mankind.

Our God is limitless. He is without boundary, without limit, with nothing and no one to hold him down. Our God is limitless in salvation. He is ready to save everyone and anyone who comes to Him for help and salvation. With God all things are possible Matthew 19: 26 KJV.

God gives hope to those who are without hope. He restores life, homes, businesses.
God is limitless in miracles. God will work out a miracle for everyone that seeks Him.
God is limitless in prosperity and blessing.

Rising above limitations – Faith through the name of Jesus

And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.Acts 3: 1-16

Peter and John went up together into the temple and the encountered a beggar a man weighed down by limitations.
What is begging? Have you ever begged before? Pleading with humility, with embarrassment, ignominy; been down and out, pleading continuously for something. The oxford dictionary defines begging as, “to ask somebody for something especially in an anxious way because you want or need it very much”

Anything that demeans your personality and person is not right. There is something wrong with it, with the situation and the person who is begging or is being begged.
If you are demeaned or feel little when asking for something or doing something it means it is not right.

The man at the beautiful gate was begging for alms but what he needed was healing. Peter looked at him and seeing him instead gave him what his spirit needed for his life to have a turn around, healing. The bible says, ‘he was walking and leaping and praising the Lord’.
What is wrong when you beg all the time

1. Lazy or unimaginative. When a person is able and capable but chose to beg then there is something wrong. Proverb 20: 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore, shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing KJV. When you cannot think of creative ways to engage your mind and body, then this may result in begging
2. If the person is under a curse. A lot of people are begging because their family is under a curse.  Psalm 109:1
3. It means that we, perhaps, do not know who we really are. 2 Samuel 9: 6 Mephiboseth refers to himself as a servant. We forget where we are coming from and result to begging. 
4. You don’t know what you carry. 2 Kings 4: 1-5 The widow had no idea of the potential she had. If you don’t know who you are or what you carry, then you will beg. 
5. Or you have done something seriously wrong or inappropriate and you need to beg to get out of it. Esther (Haman begging Esther and the king). A lot of people beg only after they have done something wrong. 
6. Some people will beg when parents have done something wrong that has transferred a curse unto their children who begs bread. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalm 37: 25 KJV

In the text, the bible tells us about the man lame from birth. A beggar has no right, is not able to exercise himself, is not able to do things themselves, is limited is one way or the other.
Begging is not he natural order of life, it is also not the what God has ordained for man at creation. Any time we find ourselves begging it means we are limited in a way.
