ALPHA AND OMEGA

Memorise:
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: .. Isaiah 46:10

Read:
John 1:1-5

Message

In Revelation 1:8, our Lord Jesus Christ reveals Himself as the Alpha and the Omega. Later on in Revelation 21:6, He describes Himself as the Beginning and the End. For further emphasis, in Revelation 22:13, He said, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." This means that everything starts and ends with Him.

From the Scriptures above, you will clearly see that you cannot start anything without God's permission, and you cannot finish anything without His approval. This is good news for you, especially if you are about to embark on a project. Just talk to the Alpha and Omega about it.

God is the One who began this world, and He is the One who will end it. In other words, everything in this world is under His control, therefore, when you are close to Him and let Him guide you throughout your life, you will have a better quality of life because the One in control is your guide. This is why Proverbs 3:5 says:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

God knows what will happen before it happens. He knows where there is danger and where your blessings are hiding. He said in Isaiah 45:3 that He will show you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches in secret places. He knows these things because He is the Beginning and the End. This is why David wrote confidently:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:he leadeth me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:1-2

If I may ask, who is your shepherd? Who guides you through life? For me, I know that I am too foolish to go through life on my own, and this is why I have made the Beginning and the End my shepherd. When I was looking to buy land for the Redeemed Christian Church of God's Campground, I admired a particular location because it was on a major road, and in my own limited mind, it was perfect. However, God guided us to the location we are now, which has now proven to be so much better because He is the End. Those who let Him guide their decisions never regret it.

Bible In One Year:
1 Chronicles 13-16

Hymn:
Hymn 28 Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah 359

Action point:
Let God guide your every move and decision. He knows the end from the beginning.

King James Version

John 1:1-5

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
RCCG Hymn

Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!

  1. Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
    Pilgrim through this barren land;
    I am weak, but Thou art mighty.
    Hold me with Thy powerfulh and:
    Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
    Feed me now and evermore (2ce)
  2. Open Thou the crystal fountain.
    Whence the healing stream doth flow:
    Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
    Lead me all my journey through:
    Song deliverer! Song deliverer!
    Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce).
  3. If I tread the verge of Jordan,
    Bid my anxious fears subside:
    Bear me through the swelling torrent.
    Land me safe on Canaan's side:
    Songs of praises! Songs of praises!
    1 will ever give to Thee (2ce).
  4. Saviour, come! we long to see Thee,
    Long to dwell with Thee above;
    And to know in full communion.
    All the sweetness of Thy love.
    Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!
    Take Thy waiting people home (2ce).
