THE UNCHANGEABLE
CHANGER
Memorise: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and
forever. Hebrews 13:8
Read: Genesis 32:24-32, 24 And Jacob was left alone; and
there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he
touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of
joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he
said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said,
Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast
prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy
name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he
blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have
seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and
he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew
which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he
touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Bible in one year: 1st Samuel 29-31, Proverbs 9:1-12
MESSAGE
One thing every man, especially a child of God must always
remember is that our God is the unchangeable changer. In the Genesis account of
the beginning we see how the Unchangeable Changer effected miraculous changes
without Himself being changed.
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
Genesis 1:2-3
In Genesis 21, the Unchangeable Changer changed the
unfruitful situation of Sarah to fruitfulness. He did the same in the case of
Hannah in 1st Samuel 2, proving that what He did in the life of the father of
faith, He could do in the life of his descendants also. This is why I know that
someone using this devotional will encounter this Great Changer that cannot
change. As He did for those who sought and called Him in the past, so will He
do for you as you call upon Him today in Jesus’ name.
The Almighty God has changed numerous unpleasant situations
for the better in the past. For example, He changed the slavery of the children
of Israel to freedom (Exodus 13). Also, Jabez prayed that the Lord should
change his situation for the better and the Unchangeable Changer heard him.
“And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his
mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez
called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and
enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest
keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he
requested.”
1st Chronicles 4:9-10
One of my daughters in Church heard the story of how my wife
miraculously gave birth to our last two children naturally and decided to
believe God for a natural child delivery. Like my wife did after three cesarean
sections. The God who never changes did the same for that daughter of mine. I
have good news for someone reading this devotional today, as Jesus performed
miracles in those days, so He still does today.
I encourage you,
beloved, to put your trust in Him and He will not let you down because He is
the Unchangeable Changer. He will change your situation for the better and you
will glorify Him in Jesus’ name.
