Faith in God never fails

Luke 2:21-30

“And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation…”KJV

We are still looking at lessons of faith from the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and the events surrounding His birth. Here is the story of a man called Simeon who the scriptures say had a word from God that he will not

die until he sees the Messaih born.

The first lesson I want you to learn today is that faith in God never fails. The Scriptures do not tell us how old he was when he was given the word nor when the word finally came to pass. But at the time the promise came to pass he was in such a state that he could not wait one more day for death to come, he was longing to go. This tells us the promise took a long time in coming to pass but Simeon held on and saw the fulfillment of God’s word to Him. 

Listen, yes I know that the year is almost ending, but that does not bring an end to the efficacy of the word of God. The word is still alive and working, years may come and go, the word of God in your life will still be fulfilled. The word of God never fails.

“For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Luke 1:37 (AMP)

The second lesson I want you to see in this text is that to see the manifestation of your faith you need to walk hand in hand with the Holy Spirit. Notice what the Scripture said concerning Simeon: “…. And he came by the Spirit into the temple…” He walked in to the manifestation of the promise he was given by the direction of the Holy Ghost. The reason some people loose out on the manifestation of the word of God in their lives is not because their faith did not bring forth, it was because they did not listen to the Holy Spirit. 

Faith in God is also faith in the Holy Spirit’s leading. Listen to the Holy Spirit today and you might just walk into your manifestation.

I PROPHESY TO YOU TODAY THAT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD YOU WILL BE LED INTO YOUR MANIFESTATION. YOUR EYES TODAY WILL SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD.
