DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE
CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)
DATE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2023
TOPIC: IMMUTABILITY OF GOD’S WORD
6:1. Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary [principles] of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
6:2. of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6:3. And this we will do if God permits.
6:4. For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
6:5. and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6:6. if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put [Him] to an open shame.
6:7. For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
6:8. but if it bears thorns and briars, [it is] rejected and near to being cursed, whose end [is] to be burned.
6:9. But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
6:10. For God [is] not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, [in that] you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
6:11. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,
6:12. that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
6:13. For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,
6:14. saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
6:15. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
6:16. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation [is] for them an end of all dispute.
6:17. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed [it] by an oath,
6:18. that by two immutable things, in which it [is] impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before [us.]
6:19. This [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence [behind] the veil,
6:20. where the forerunner has entered for us, [even] Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

THE MESSAGE:
The integrity of anyone is measured by how he keeps to his word. So many times, people are sincere and give their word to people, but unfortunately, they are not the controllers of seasons and circumstances in their lives. So many times, a man who has the financial capacity to fulfil a task, makes a promise but dies before keeping his word; even sicknesses or other challenges of life can hinder a man’s ability to fulfil his words at a given time. Because man is within eternity, he is controlled by all the instrumentality of the changes and chances of life.
God is the creator of the whole universe; He is outside time and is not affected by times and seasons. He is not a man that He would lie or change His mind (Numbers 23:19). He created all things, so He can move all of His creation to favour His course. Have you discovered any of His promises to you? Relax;He is capable to fulfil it! By two immutable things, God cannot lie: firstly, He made a promise to keep to His covenant; secondly, He swore an oath to keep to His word. He has no capacity to change in character and will not start with you. He is capable!
PRAYER: Lord, I believe Your capacity to take care of me, my family and my future
