TODAY’S DEVOTION (SATURDAY 22ND November 2025)
My soul still remembers and sinks within me.
This I recall to my mind; Therefore, I have hope. Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:20-26 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 326TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
If you are using the Gregorian Calendar, then it will make sense if we say it has been 326 days since the LORD brought us into a new year. Yes, 326 days of His mercies, sustenance, peace, love, grace, words of spiritual treasure running our lives so that we might not be ruined.
We believe the rest of the year will receive more glorious results in Jesus precious name.
One major thing to be in a world that is unpredictable is (to be) visionary. Your life will lack bearing if you are not. Being visionary is doing things in life according to your prophetic destiny. Your prophetic destiny is the totality of God’s plans, visions, programs, patterns, and purposes for your life.
It covers all His predetermined life routes and goals and prophetic dealings for your life.
Being visionary also is numbering your days according to your prophetic destiny. If you number your days according to your prophetic destiny, you will make your birth month your beginning of months, and the last month to your birth month, your end of months for each year.
Like I said earlier, you can adopt that and see how things will turn out with you. Today we want to look at a very important law that governs visionary living. I call it “the law of God’s faithfulness.” Visionary living is a product of answering the call of God upon one’s life. The call to live your life according to His plans and purposes for it.
For every visionary life to be well spent, God’s faithfulness will be required. Without God’s faithfulness, nothing significant will happen in our lives. The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:24 “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
EVERY VISIONARY LIFE WILL REQUIRE GOD’S FAITHFULNESS TO BE LIVED!!
Visionary living is leading your life according to God’s preplanned programs for it, or a Heavenly call upon it. Such life will either not be possible or will not be successful where possible, if GOD’s faithfulness is absent. It is the faithfulness of God that will do all that God has preplanned to do in our lives.
It is His faithfulness to the Heavenly call upon our lives that will add divine performance to all the divine promises in our lives that constitutes the call. That is why the Bible says faithful is He who has called you, who also will do it. Until He does it, nothing significant will be achieved.
His faithfulness will make sure the vision He may have planted in our hearts, move from the declaration to the manifestation.
That brings us to a beautiful expression of the law of God’s faithfulness. The law states that “if God govern your visionary life, He will be faithful to take it from its declaration to its manifestation, and from its manifestation to the finishing line, no matter what happens.”
That is even when you stumble or fall. In visionary living, you delight yourself in the ways of the LORD. As you do so, God will direct and order your steps to establish it. As He directs and orders your steps to establish it, His blessed Holy Spirit will become involved in every part of your life.
In other words, He will be busying Himself with every detail of your life through the word, the Bible.
As that happens, hell will be raging and the floods of the serpent spewed. The raging hell and the spewing serpent could overwhelm us sometimes like it did many of our fathers in Bible days, leading to a fall into sin, iniquity or trespass as a result. Or resulting in a gradual decline into a life of unbelief, denial or abandonment of the faith
THAT IS WHEN THE LAW OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS WILL GO ACTIVE.
It will bring the hand of the LORD down, to reach out and grasp us in support, and then uphold us till we return to the paths we were, before the fall. That is why the Bible says;
“The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.” Psalm 37:23-24 AMPC
Sometimes, it is not even sin, iniquity or trespasses that we fall into, we just become weary and begin to make bitter complain against God and against His process for our lives. That is also when the law of God’s faithfulness goes into effect. Its goal is to make sure our visionary lives are not truncated by us or by hell. It is a law that guarantees that we get to the finishing line like Paul got to when he said:
“ I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith.
[As to what remains] henceforth there is laid up for me the [victor’s] crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me and recompense me on that [great] day—and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and yearned for and welcomed His appearing (His return).” 2 Timothy 4:7-8 AMPC
God’s faithfulness is responsible for His elects finishing well and strong. If it is not there, we will never finish well or finish strong, as the case may be because by strength shall no man prevail.
Understand that, when God starts a journey with you, the goal will always be to take you to the finishing line no matter what happens. No matter what happens in the middle ground, you will end up finishing well or finishing strong. The law of His faithfulness is responsible for all that.
IT WAS THE REASON WHY SAMSON HAD A COMEBACK THAT MADE SURE HE FULFILLED HIS CALL EVEN AT DEATH.
The finishing line is the place of fulfilling your call and making sure you have done more for the LORD at your death more than at any other time.
God’s purpose for stipulating the law of His faithfulness is for bringing us to the finishing lines. He is more glorified when we get to the finishing line. So, it is not about us but about Him. Which brings us to the second law of God’s faithfulness. That law states that, “God’s commitment to His vision, calling or purposes for our lives, is always for His name sake not for our sake.”
God is the one who will remain glorified if we finish well and strong, hence making sure we do. He will be more glorified if we are not left in our fall (sins, iniquities and trespasses) but assisted in returning to Him through repentance, and back to our feet through a renewed commitment, hence making sure that happens.
He did that for Abraham when he was Abram. The Bible says after 13 years of silence due to the Ishmael error, God had to return to him to say;
… I am the Almighty God; walk and live habitually before Me and be perfect (blameless, wholehearted, complete). And I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you and will multiply you exceedingly.
Then Abram fell on his face, and God said to him,” Genesis 17:1-3 AMPC
Off course, if you were Abraham you will fall on your face too because it had been long the LORD spoke to Him. It is this law of God’s faithfulness that do not let God abandon us in our pools of rebellion, sinful living, or overwhelming floods of the enemy.
IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMEBACK AND RESTORATION OF EVERYONE THE LORD HAS EVER WALKED WITH IN HUMAN HISTORY.
Our devotional text says:
My soul still remembers and sinks within me. This I recall to my mind; Therefore, I have hope. Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:20-26 NKJV
If you understand the law of God’s faithfulness, no matter what you may have done, you will run back to Him like the prodigal son, seeking mercies of Him to return to the Father’s house.
This devotional text made it clear that the mercies that the law of God’s faithfulness unleash upon His own are new every morning. That is why it is important that we learn to wait for His salvation no matter what may have happened in our lives, especially in the course of visionary living.
You may abandon God and walk away from Him, but so long as the Sun still shines in this dispensation, God will not abandon you. His faithfulness will keep His Holy Spirit coming after you. It is a mystery how He keeps coming after us after all the evil we may have done against Him.
He came after Adam after he ate of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He will always come after us.
Child of God, it is amazing how He keeps showering His presence upon our lives in hope that we will turn over to Him each time we walk away from Him. Indeed, like the late Billy Graham once said, “no one can exhaust the patience of God. No, no one!”
I pray that the LORD uses these thoughts to keep us in the faith, in righteousness, in holiness and in His vision for our lives, falling back to the law of His faithfulness to get back to our feet each time we stumble in Jesus precious name. Amen.
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY!
“The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain (empty and futile—only a breath).
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, and teach out of Your law, That You may give him power to keep himself calm in the days of adversity, until the [inevitable] pit of corruption is dug for the wicked.
For the Lord will not cast off nor spurn His people, neither will He abandon His heritage.
For justice will return to the [uncompromisingly] righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.” Psalm 94:11-15 AMPC
