God's Word Never Fails

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away.

The Word of God is the definition, explanation and expression of God Himself. All that God had planned, willed and purposed from eternity past are all written in the Word. All that He wants man to know concerning Him or His economy are also in the Word. And all that wants to speak day by day are also written in the Word. The Word is God's breathed (2 Tim. 3;16);  it is God Himself (John 1:1). As much as He is the reality, so are His words. Therefore, even if heaven and earth pass away, His Words will never.

The Lord's speaking today as we fellowshipped and prayed corporately concerning the gospel preaching in this Millennium City, Gurgaon, the New York of India, is Ezekiel 36: 37 Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. 38 Like the holy flock for sacrifices, like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they will know that I am Jehovah. True to His speaking, today the Lord fulfilled it literally.

As we went to preach the gospel, the first person I met and preached the gospel was the son of peace right away. A gentile in a professional business, but seeker of God. As I ministered the Word, without an iota of doubt, He just received and believed as a thirsty panting Deer drinking every drop of water supplied to him. Though some clarification about the true and living God had to be done in contrary to his partial knowledge of God in religion. Later, He called on the Name of the Lord, and prayed to believe and receive the Lord.

Later, in the afternoon till night too, the Lord led us to four different home meetings where we ministered the Word of God with much Spirit's anointing to meet the hunger in the new believers' heart for God. What God had spoken, He also fulfills. He asked us that  "I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock." We inquired of Him and He is gaining the increase.

While in one of the home meetings, out from nowhere, I felt to call one of the very old contacts to whom I preached the gospel to the whole household a couple of years ago; and of which I kind-of gave up for their lame excuses barring continual visits. However, the Word spoken to them will never pass away. Today, when I called, it was confirmed that they were brought to a situation where they have to be ushered into the church life. With two brothers, we visited them and without wasting much time, we went into the Word, Romans 12, Matthew 16:18; 18:15-17; Acts 1, 2, 9 and ministered the Word on the Church, the Body of Christ. To this, their innate response was so apt that they took notes, and received the Word like starving man devouring food and later commented that all the questions within their being were already answered even before asking them at all, and that the visit was so timely that they were awestruck as to how we came to know about their situation. Well, the fact is, we knew nothing about what's going on in their lives, but we just followed the Spirit's leading to call and visit them and ministered the Word as the Spirit inspired. This also the result of "I will be inquired of " and He will recover His children back to His flock.

This is also the fulfillment of the hymn we enjoyed this morning, Showers of Blessing and the Lord honored His Word, as in stanza 3.

There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
  Sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing,
  Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
    But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing—
  Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
  Sound of abundance of rain.

There shall be showers of blessing;
  Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
  Come, and now honor Thy Word.

There shall be showers of blessing;
  O that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
  Now as on Jesus we call!

There shall be showers of blessing,
  If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
  If we let God have His way.
