FAITH CAPSULE: Trusting God in His promise and not having an iota of doubt.

1 Kings 12  

What God says He will do is a done deal. 
He does not waste words or tell lies.
He does not exaggerate, not deceive, and there is no reason to doubt Him. 
Doubting God is evidence of a lack of faith in His word. 
Before Jeroboam became the king of all Israel, he had received the word of God that he would become king. 
When it was time for Jeroboam to become king, the Bible records, “…For the turn of events was from the LORD, that He might fulfill His word, which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.” (1 Kings 12:15) 
The word of God does not lie. 
God said He was going to make Jeroboam a king, but it was left for Jeroboam to receive the word as sent by God and meditate on it to manifest it for the glory of God. 
Can you confirm if God has spoken to you about what will become of you? 
When God makes you up, He will back you up and not forsake you if you do not doubt Him. 
Just as he gave His word for making Jeroboam king, Jeroboam became the king. 
However, Jeroboam failed to remind himself that the word that sounded in his direction for him to become a king would back him up. 
Jeroboam became king but doubted if the Kingdom would return the house of David after God had given it to him. 
1 Kings 12:25-27 testifies how Jeroboam gave himself to doubt against the promise of God in his life. 1 Kings 12:25-27 records, “Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim and dwelt there. Also, he went out from there and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, ‘Now the kingdom may return to the house of David: If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn back to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah.’” 
Doubt is not of God but for the devil. 
Doubt is an agent of fear, and it does not have any good to offer but to steal, kill, and destroy. 
Jeroboam saw the beginning of the manifestation of the word of God when he became the king. 
Doubt set in Jeroboam, and he could not rest in God. 
As a result of doubt, Jeroboam built idols and led the people to other gods. 
Trusting God in His promise and not through to the end of His promise is not enough. 
God has spoken to you and will manifest His word if you rest in His promises. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from every iota of doubt.
