Topic: Unfailing Love
Text: I Kings 1-4

God’s love is multi-dimensional. God does a lot of things for us because He loves us. He would not allow anything to hurt us because He loves us. Those who constitute themselves into enemies and attempt to fight God’s people are taking a great risk. Hence, fighting against or hurting a child of God is worse than going on a suicide mission. Our God is a jealous God. He does not spare those who hate His children. In Psalm 76:5-6, the Bible tells us what God can do to those who think they can stand against the children of God: “The stout hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.” All the enemies of God will be made to sleep while the Almighty God shall remain awake. In Psalm 90 3-6, the Bible says: “thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. For a thousand years in they sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Thou carriest them away as with flood; they are as a steep: in the morning they are like grass which growth up. In the morning it flourisheth, and growth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.” Here, man is said to be like sleep in the hand of God. If you shake a man, the sleep is gone. In the same manner, if God wants to destroy and body, all He has to do is to give the fellow a little shake. Also, the passage talks of man as ordinary grass. The night guards you put your trust in may look strong in the morning but may be dead before the night. However, God is forever strong. This is why David said in Psalms 4:8, “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.” This is a message for us at this perilous time. You should know that if God is on your side, you can sleep in peace and wake in peace. Do not put your trust in any human security because they can fail. It is only God who cannot fail. Trust the Lord today and He will not fail you.

Memory Verse: James 4:3 - Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume upon your lusts.
