NOT WITH GOD

Dearly Beloved, NOT WITH GOD “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible’” (Mark 10:27 NKJV). Our God is the God of all possibilities. Nothing is impossible with Him, except for things contrary to His divine attributes (see Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; 2 Timothy 2:13; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18). God is the infinite God. He can do all things. He knows all things. He is above all things. He is the Creator of all things. In fact, He is the eternal God that has been before the creation of all things. He is when there are all things. He will continue to be when all things are no more (cf. Hebrews 13:8). What a God! On the contrary, man is finite. He cannot do all things. He does not know all things. He is not above all things. He is just a created being. In fact, he "is of few days and full of trouble" (Job 14:1 NKJV). Jesus Christ brought out this great difference between God and man when His disciples were amazed at His teachings about the kingdom of God. He said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible’” (Mark 10:27 NKJV). You can also read Genesis 18:14; Jeremiah 32:17, 27; Luke 1:37; 18:27; Philippians 3:21. What is the implication of this glaring difference? Total dependence on God, and not man. One should not rely on anybody, even oneself. One should not lose hope that one's situation is beyond remedy. Man may fail because of his limitation. Things may reach a deadlock with man, BUT NOT WITH GOD. All things are possible with Him! “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27 NKJV). In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Request: O God, let me totally depend on you in all things, especially those that are beyond my control in Jesus' name. Amen.
