Title: *|FNAME|*, God is Faithful!
Dear *|FNAME|*,
The Lord is your God: It is He who made you! You are ‘His people’ and the sheep of His pasture. Therefore, you can confidently trust Him with all aspects of your life (Psalm 100:3).
*|FNAME|*, It is because of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed. Whenever you think about God’s mercies over your life, what should be your natural response? Praise and Thanksgiving! A lifestyle of praise and thanksgiving will help you to break the back of discontentment and depression every single time (Psalm 100:4-5).
When you know and fully recognise that the Lord himself is God, what should be your attitude? Humility and Obedience! Be careful not to think too highly of yourself because of your age, money, profession, gender, talent or achievement. You have to humble yourself before the Lord. Your humility is your connection to Grace (James 4:6). Your obedience is your connection to the Blessing (Isaiah 1:19-20).
*|FNAME|*, the Lord is ‘Faithful and True’. This is not just about what He does; it is much more about who He is. His name is called ‘Faithful and True’ (Revelation 19:11). Faithfulness and Truth always go together! Faithfulness reveals the integrity of God’s Word and Truth reveals the integrity of God’s character. God is ever faithful to His Word and True to His righteous character (2 Timothy 2:13, AMP). Are you ‘faithful and true’ like your Heavenly Father? Is there integrity in your words? Is there integrity in your character?
Everyone can be broken if they meet enough pressure or opposition. Only the Word stands firm and cannot be broken (Psalm 119:89). God is primarily faithful to His Word. God cannot commit Himself to the success of a rebel! He honours those who honour Him and denies those who deny Him (1 Samuel 2:30, 2 Timothy 2:12). Therefore, if you don’t want to be broken, you need to build your life on the Word. If you live by the Word, you are guaranteed to live victoriously!
*|FNAME|*, the opposite of confession is denial. It doesn’t matter how much you assent or consent to it; whatever you are not confessing, you are technically denying. It is only the truth that can deliver you: therefore you must vehemently refuse to stop deceiving yourself. Truth is defined by the Word (John 8:32, John 17:17). Your denial of Truth in any aspect of your life is a guarantee of continuous bondage in that aspect. Your recognition and confession of Truth is the first step to breaking any bondage in your life. Whenever you confess Truth, God is Faithful and Just to perform the deliverance you need (1 John 1:8-9).
