God that does not change

One of the greatest assurances a child of God can have is the knowledge that the God whom we serve does not change. Everything around

Opening Text: Malachi 3:6 (KJV) “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”

One of the greatest assurances a child of God can have is the knowledge that the God whom we serve does not change. Everything around us is subject to change. The world changes, human beings change, circumstances change, positions change, and even the things we once depended upon may fail us. People who promised to stand with us may turn their backs on us. Those who once loved us may become strangers. Wealth can disappear, health can fail, and opportunities can come and go. But in the midst of all these uncertainties, there is one eternal truth that remains unshaken: God does not change!

The God who created the heavens and the earth is still the same God today. The God who delivered Israel from Egypt is still mighty to deliver. The God who made a way through the Red Sea is still able to make a way where there seems to be no way. The God who answered the prayers of His servants in ancient times is still answering prayers today. His power has not diminished, His promises have not failed, and His faithfulness has not expired.

Hebrews 13:8 declares, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” This means that the Jesus who saved sinners in the days of the apostles is still saving sinners today. The Jesus who healed the sick is still able to heal. The Jesus who delivered the oppressed is still mighty to deliver. Time has not weakened Him, circumstances have not defeated Him, and the changing seasons of life have not altered His divine nature.

Beloved, what a wonderful comfort it is to know that our God does not change! When everything else becomes uncertain, we can still depend upon Him. When human strength fails, His strength remains. When human wisdom is confused, His wisdom remains perfect. When earthly promises are broken, His promises remain sure.

The Bible reveals that God’s character is unchanging. His holiness does not change. He has never approved of sin, and He will never become comfortable with wickedness. The standards of righteousness, which He established from the beginning remains the same. What God condemned as sin yesterday is still sin today. The fact that the world has changed its attitude towards wickedness does not mean that God has changed His position.

Many people want a God who will adjust His commandments to accommodate their desires. They want the blessings of God without obedience, the promises of God without repentance, and the kingdom of God without holiness. But our God does not change His standard to please mankind. 1st Peter 1:16 says, “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”

If God does not change, then His demand for holiness remains unchanged. His hatred for sin remains unchanged. His desire for genuine repentance remains unchanged. No generation can rewrite the commandments of God, and no human opinion can overthrow His eternal truth. We must, therefore, examine our lives and return to the ancient paths of righteousness.

Further, God’s love does not change. Human love may fail, but God’s love is everlasting. There are times when people may abandon us because of our weaknesses, failures, or circumstances. There are moments when we may feel forgotten and forsaken. But the love of God remains steadfast towards those who belong to Him.

Jeremiah 31:3 declares, “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

What a wonderful revelation! God’s love is not temporary, neither is it dependent upon the changing opinions of men. His love was demonstrated when He gave His only begotten Son to die for our sins. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

However, we must never mistake God’s unchanging love for approval of our sins. His love calls us out of darkness into His marvellous light. His mercy gives us an opportunity to repent, not an excuse to continue in wickedness.

Another wonderful truth is that God’s promises do not change. Human beings may make promises they cannot fulfil, but God is faithful to His word. Whatever He has spoken, He is able to perform. Numbers 23:19 declares, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”

Abraham waited for the fulfilment of God’s promise, and God did not disappoint him. Joseph experienced betrayal, imprisonment, and hardship, yet God’s purpose for his life remained intact. David faced opposition and numerous challenges, but the word of God concerning his destiny did not fail.

These examples teach us that changing circumstances do not necessarily mean that God has changed His mind. Sometimes, the journey may be difficult, the waiting may be long, and the road may be rough, but God’s faithfulness remains certain.

Perhaps you are passing through a difficult season today. Your expectations may appear delayed, your prayers may seem unanswered, and the future may look uncertain. Do not conclude that God has abandoned you. Continue to trust Him, obey His word, and remain faithful. Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”

God’s power also remains unchanged. He is not growing old, neither is He losing His ability to perform miracles. The God who parted the Red Sea is still the Almighty God. The God who brought Lazarus out of the grave is still the resurrection and the life. The God who sustained His people in the wilderness is still able to sustain His children today.

Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?”

There is no situation beyond His ability. No problem is too complicated for Him, no enemy is too strong for Him, and no circumstance is beyond His control. Therefore, let your confidence rest in God and not in the instability of human arrangements.

But there is one important question we must answer: If God does not change, should our attitude towards Him remain careless and indifferent? If He is still holy, should we continue in sin? If His word remains true, should we continue to neglect it? If His judgment remains certain, should we continue to live as though we shall never give account?

Malachi 3:6 reminds us that God’s unchanging nature is also the reason we are not consumed. His mercy has preserved us, His faithfulness has sustained us, and His patience has given us another opportunity to make our ways right with Him.

Let us, therefore, return to God with genuine repentance. Let us abandon every hidden sin, forsake every ungodly lifestyle, and surrender our lives completely to Jesus Christ. Do not build your life upon changing human opinions; build it upon the eternal word of God.

The God of yesterday is still the God of today, and He will remain God forever. He does not change! Amen.

Testimony Of The Lord’s Doing

‘Through Watching Chosen Cable, I Was Healed Of Cancer Of The Womb’

Sister Gloria Lekwot hails from Kaduna State. Our Sister said she had been watching the ministrations of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries through its cable since 2012.

She said she would feel dizzy anything she wore earrings or attachment, adding that at a point it became a great concern and that prompted her to stop wearing them.

The concern, she said, made her to go to the hospital and was surprised she was diagnosed of cancer of the womb.

“As I came back from the hospital, I intensified the effort to watch the church’s cable,”Sister Lekwot said.

So, while she was watching the cable,during the 2026 Mgbidi crusade, suddenly she slept off.

At the time she woke up, she said G.O was praying and said, “you! woman watching me on cable, you have gone to the hospital and they have diagnosed that you have cancer of the womb and have booked you for an operation, after three days from this prayer, go back to the hospital, the cancer has disappeared.”

Our sistersaid she shouted and said amen, and to confirm what the man of God said, she said she went to the hospital for test after one week, to God be the glory,she was declared free from cancer of the womb.

She revealed further that the doctor was even surprised when the result came out andhe asked her, “how manage?.”

Our sisterreplied that God of Chosen did it for her while watching the cable,emphasising that the doctor encouraged her to continue with God of the Chosen.

Sister Lekwot also testified that God healed her of open heart (hole in the heart). What a great God we serve. Praise the Lord!
