NO FATAL FAILURE FOR THE BELIEVER

“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” Ezekiel 34:26 (KJV)

When we talk about rain, we are speaking about abundance, we are speaking about blessing, and we are speaking about increase. Whenever you see rain in the scriptures, it speaks about blessings, not about lack. So, it is about increase and abundance. In this context, rain represents the continual descent of anything in large quantities.

As a believer, you are perpetually under the shower of God’s blessings. The believer cannot experience a fatal failure by reason of the blessing. But oftentimes, because of unforeseen events, we tend to discount ourselves. But you are a part of God’s grand design! You are not an appendage! You are not just hanging in there! God is not just tolerating you! He strategically chose you. So how can you lose? How can the devil tell you that it is over with you?

You are the beloved of God. He chose you! And He has you covered, past, present, and future. Everything about you is already covered. So, it is an aberration for you to write yourself off. There is no fatal failure for a believer. A believer can never have a fatal failure.

According to the scriptures: “Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.” (Psalm 37:24 KJV)

“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.” (Proverbs 24:16 KJV). “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return …” (Isaiah 35:10 KJV)

A bounce-back mechanism is built into you the day you gave your life to Christ. You will always return from every failure, every disappointment, and every challenge in life. You can never, never be stranded in life. It will rain again in your desert.

Whichever way you turn, you win. Head or tail, you win. You are under the shower of blessings. No matter the plan of the wicked, you will never be stranded. The land will produce for you. And your ground will celebrate you.
