Psalm 138:2 (NKJV)
“…You have magnified Your word above all Your name.”
Having read the previous article
Truth at the God-Level,
we believe you have made a quality decision to aspire to start operating at God’s level of honesty, which includes rising above negative
circumstances that compel people to break their words. We need to aspire for this level of honesty so that we can receive more mercies in our lives,
and because we are children of the Most High God who never breaks His Word. He always watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12), and we
need to aspire to be like our Father as well. In this article we will share a few tips that will position us to operate at this level.
Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent…”
This scripture in the Book of Numbers indicates that God does not lie. But why doesn’t God lie? Our God does not and cannot lie because He issues statements
based on His Word. Psalm 138:2 indicates that all of God’s actions (His name) are tailored after His Word. God submits Himself to His Word, and since His Word
is unchangeable (Psalm 119:89, Isaiah 40:8), God’s statements will come to pass just like He said. When the Creator of all submits Himself to His Word, He
exemplifies a unique level of Humility for us to follow. This level of humility makes God stay true to His Word.
When we make a decision to submit to God’s Word and issue only statements that are consistent with God’s Word, we will rise above the pressure of obstinate
circumstances that can make us break our words. For us to be able to do this, we need complete revelation from God’s Word in every situation. Partial or
incomplete revelation of God’s Word will not make one completely invulnerable to the pressure of obstinate circumstances.
A good example of this was Peter, who had a partial revelation concerning the fact that Jesus was the Christ. However, because Peter did not understand the
reason Jesus was the Christ or the purpose behind Jesus’ mission, Peter was pressured by negative circumstances to break his word of allegiance to Jesus
(Matthew 16:13-23, Matthew 26:33-35 & 75). If he had understood completely the reason Jesus was the Christ, Peter would not have tried to deter Jesus from
going to the cross or acted braggadocios in such a way that he would depreciate in the grace of God and allow the devil to orchestrate circumstances to make
him break his word of allegiance. Lack of complete revelation was Peter’s dilemma. So how do we get complete revelation knowledge from God’s Word? We attempt
to answer this question in the next article:
