EPISODE 550 – GOD’S LOVE NEVER FAILS AND NEVER RUNS OUT 2

GOD’S LOVE NEVER FAILS

AND NEVER RUNS OUT 2

“Praise the Lord! He is good. God’s love never fails. Praise the God of all gods. God’s love never fails. Praise the Lord of lords. God’s love never fails.” 

Psalm 136:1-3 (CEV)

You cannot live insecure when you understand God’s love for you.

Everything God has done for you is first according to his love. His love is unconditional, it is not dependent on what you do. Your faith only helps you position yourself to enjoy the unlimited flow of His love.

This is it, no matter how you are loved, you must receive that love to experience its full manifestation.

No matter how God loves you unconditionally, His love wouldn’t have great transformational impact on you when you don’t receive it.

God’s lovingkindness enforces the wielding of His power. Just as I mentioned yesterday, Jehoshaphat went to war with the army of Judah, led by the musicians. And all they kept declaring through singing was that “His love endures forever!”.

No storm, no limitation, and no evil can withstand the love of God. And that is the light Psalm 136 brings to us.

The chapter outlines some examples of things we enjoy because of His love. The Psalmist used God’s dealings with Israel as the case study.

“Praise the Lord! He is good.
God’s love never fails.
Praise the God of all gods.
God’s love never fails.
Praise the Lord of lords.
God’s love never fails.”

 Verses 1-3 provides description of who God is, His authority and the Supremacy of his love above all other gods and lords.

These verses are to establish the incomparable status of God and the lifeless gods. As His love never fails and endures forever, the gods have no capacity to love at all.

Which means it makes zero sense to be of God and still have confidence in other gods.

From the subsequent verses ( 4 — 26) we see the mighty workings of His love.

“Only God works great miracles. God’s love never fails.” (verse 4)

Did you notice the first two words in this verse? ONLY GOD…

You cannot find mighty or great miracles else where. It is ONLY God who does great miracles. And it is according to His steadfast love which cannot fail.

Now the Psalmist zooms in on the detailed examples of God’s creative or mighty workings. Psalm 136 reveals that God’s creative work was not only by His wisdom. It was by the partnership of His wisdom and unfailing love.

The goal is for you to see that, God’s steadfast and unfailing love cannot be separated. All of  God’s essential qualities find expression through His love.

“With wisdom He made the sky.
 God’s love never fails. The Lord stretched the earth
over the ocean. God’s love never fails. He made the bright lights in the sky. God’s love never fails. He lets the sun rule each day. God’s love never fails. He lets the moon and the stars rule each night. God’s love never fails.” (Verses 5 – 9)

No other god has the capacity to function in the wisdom which God exudes in His creation. God’s steadfast and unfailing love is in the center of His creative power.

The steadfast love of God doesn’t only partner with God’s wisdom to demonstrate His creative power. The steadfast love of God also partners with God’s power to preserve, protect or defend His people (those who receive His love). 

See the verses 10 – 24:

“God struck down the first-born
in every Egyptian family. God’s love never fails. He rescued Israel from Egypt. God’s love never fails. God used his great strength and his powerful arm.
God’s love never fails. He split the Red Sea[b] apart. God’s love never fails. The Lord brought Israel safely through the sea.
God’s love never fails. He destroyed the Egyptian king
and his army there. God’s love never fails. The Lord led his people through the desert. God’s love never fails. Our God defeated mighty kings. God’s love never fails. And he killed famous kings. God’s love never fails. One of them was Sihon,
king of the Amorites. God’s love never fails. Another was King Og of Bashan. God’s love never fails. God took away their land. God’s love never fails. He gave their land to Israel, the people who serve him. God’s love never fails. God saw the trouble we were in. God’s love never fails. He rescued us from our enemies. God’s love never fails.”

There are some who assume God’s love is defenseless. That is never true. God can go any extent by His righteousness to preserve His people against wickedness.

“He gives food to all who live.
 God’s love never fails.” (Verse 25)

God’s unfailing and steadfast love partners with God’s wisdom to create. It partners with God’s power to preserve, protect and also to provide.

“Praise God in heaven! God’s love never fails.” (Verse 26).

When you acknowledge and focus on God’s unfailing and steadfast love of God, your heart will be full of praise. His unconditional love remains steadfast on earth, in heaven and in all eternity.

God’s steadfast and unfailing love is proclaimed twenty-six (26) times in Psalm 136.

The consistent repetition of “God’s love never fails”, works the truth deeply into our hearts and makes it our conviction, consciousness and confidence.

When you make the testimony of God’s steadfast love your meditation, it will always echo in your heart when there is a storm or any form of uproar or challenge around your life.

Beloved let this be woven in your heart that in all things at all times, GOD’S LOVE NEVER FAILS!

He satisfies you with His love each morning.

Hallelujah!
