“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelations 1:8 KJV

When you sit down ordinarily and watch the events of life, the situations and challenges, you are tempted to believe that the devil is in charge. It appears as if heaven is silent, but that’s not true. When you read the scripture, you will see that the reverse is the case. Your God is in charge!  It excites me to know that no matter what I encounter, God is still in charge. I am talking about the Almighty. He is the final authority. He is the beginning!  He is the end! He is the first! He is the last! And He is the center. He upholds all things by the Word of His power! Your God is the centre of civilization.

At times we need to sit down and meditate over this God that we serve. He is omnipotent! He is omnipresent! And He is omniscient. He is the God that was, the God that is and the God that will ever be. He is the Lord, and He does not change. No Word of His lips is void of power. He is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. If He said it, He will do it. If He has spoken it, He will bring it to pass.

This God is our rock and our shield. He is our Way-Maker and our bridge over troubled waters. When you are thirsty, He is your Water. When you are hungry, He is your Bread. When you are confused, He is your Direction. When you need a lawyer, He is your Advocate and Helper.  His name is Jehovah Rapha! He is your Healer.

This God is the wisest of the wise. This God is the strongest of the strong. He is the mightiest of the mighty. And He is the richest of the rich.

Beloved, you have the God that can never fail! Nothing can withstand Him!  When He decides on anything, it is done. That’s the God you serve.
