IS GOD FAITHFUL?
Isaiah 41:10 New Living Translation (NLT) 10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. 1 Corinthians 1:9 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Isaiah 43:2-3 New King James Version (NKJV) 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. 3 For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
1 Corinthians 10:13 New Living Translation (NLT) 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
TEXT : DEUTERONOMY 7:1-13  When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are  entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the  Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and  Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—  2  and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and  you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally.  Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.  3  Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their  sons or take their daughters for your sons,  4  for they will turn your children away from following me to serve  other gods, and the LORD’s anger will burn against you and will  quickly destroy you. 1
This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars,  smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn  their idols in the fire.  5  For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your  God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth  to be his people, his treasured possession. 6  The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you  because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you  were the fewest of all peoples.  7  But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he  swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty  hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power  of Pharaoh king of Egypt.  8 
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful  God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of  those who love him and keep his commandments.  10  But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction;  he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him. 11  Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I  give you today. 12  If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them,  then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as  he swore to your ancestors. 13  He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will  bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain,  new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of  your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 9

Do You Commit to be Faithful ? DO YOU COMMIT TO BE FAITHFUL IN ALL THINGS? DO YOU WANT TO BE A FAITHFUL • To GOD ? • To Your FAMILY • To OTHERS ? • To Your MINISTRY ? • To Your CHURCH ?
Just like God promised the Israelites, if you work on getting rid of all these blockages that keep you from being faithful, v. 13 He will love you and bless you and  increase your numbers. He will bless the  fruit of your womb, the crops of your  land—your grain, new wine and olive oil —the calves of your herds and the lambs  of your flocks in the land he swore to  your ancestors to give you.
WE CAN DEPEND UPON GOD AT ALL TIMES,  SO LET’S NOT DEPEND UPON ANY OTHER!
