Bible Reading: Psalm.33:8-11

       Whenever God says a thing, you can be sure that it is already done. That is why Psalm.33:8 commands the whole earth to fear this great and awesome God:whatever He declares is done, and His commandments are always established. For instance, when John the Baptist by divine revelation announced Jesus as the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (John.1:29), he was only announcing simething that had already been planned, decided and concluded before the foundations of the world. The bible clearly states this truth in Revelations.13:8;

"And all that dwell uoon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world"

    In other words, before God laid the foundations of this world, He had already seen how things would turn out for the human race. He was yet to create; so He decided in advance that at some point in time, Jesus Christ would come into the world, be crucified and die for the sins of all men.

    So when you hear God saying something, it is not about what He wants to do, but about what He has already done. When a road is rehabilitated and the governor of a state comes to declare it open, it does not mean that the road is new or has just been constructed. The road could have been in use for several months or years before it was properly consructed wirh drainages, pedestrian pathways, culverts and trees lining the middle, footbridges etc. The commisioning of the road is simply launching of the road into another phase. In the same vein, whatever God says he will do has already been done in the spiritual realm. It has been concluded. Those in heaven can see it already. It is only a matter of time before it materializes in the physical realm. The awesomeness of God is further revealed when we realise that no man can speak of what he wants to happen in the future and have it that way except God sanctions it. The bible declares this in Lamentations.3:37:

"who is he that saith and it cometh to pass when the Lord commandeth it not?"

        Therefore, has God He would do something in your life family, business or career? It is already settled. In the spirit realm, it can already be seen. All you have to do is to bring it to manifestation in the physical realm through prayer, thanksgiving and worship. Your greatness is settled. Your tomorrow will be alright. It is a settled matter. It shall be well with you and you shall end well in Jesus name.
