BIBLE PASSAGE: ISAIAH 55:8-11
8. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 46:10-11
10. 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:
11. Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Isaiah 45:23
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
INTRODUCTION:
One of the oldest and most common questions in Life today is “What is the way out.” When Men are at crossroads, they usually ask of the Way Out.
Your crossroad today is known to you, it could be financial, spiritual, academic, marital, health, career, etc. Whatever represents your crossroad, there are usually many ways opened to you but ONLY ONE LEADS YOU to your ultimate destination/solution.
In John 14:6; “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”, the King of kings, the Saviour and the Redeemer of the World, says He is the genuine Way among other counterfeit ways before you.
Will you choose the way of Christ today?
MEMORY VERSE:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11.

LESSON OUTLINE
Some Bible verses that remind us that God fulfills His promises are
Joshua 21:4; Joshua 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Genesis 8:31; 1 John 2:25; Numbers 23:19; Romans 4:21; Haggai 2:5; Hebrews 10:36; James 1:12; 2 Peter 3:9; Proverbs 13:12; Jeremiah 1:12; Lamentations 2:17a; Ezekiel 12:28; Luke 1:38; Philippians 1:6; Galatians 6:9.
His Words also:
1. Nourishes our spiritual life (Heb. 5:12-14).
2. Cleanses our heart (Romans 12:2; Ephesians).
3. Guides us (Psalm 119:105).
4. Strengthens and secures us (Luke 6:47-48).
5. Give us spiritual fruitfulness and success (Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8).
6. Gives us victory (2 Corinthians 2:11; Hebrews 4:12).
7. Assures us of His protection over us (Psalm 91 and 121).
SUMMARY:
Engage and exercise your authority over situation of Life by declaring God’s over challenges.
CONCLUSION:
God’s word will never fail, but our unbelief is what prevents its fulfillment on our lives if God says He will give you something, hold Him by that promise until He fulfills it.
Numbers 23:19 We have many examples in the Bible one of which was when God told Prophet Elijah clearly that He would send rain upon the earth (1 Kings 18:1).
Elijah did not just fold his arms but went into serious prayer session to actualize God’s word (1 Kings 18:41-45).
Ensure you take the following steps:
a. Do everything to please God.
b. Worship Him with your whole heart.
c. Obey all His instructions.
d. Keep totally away from sin and
e. Also remind Him of His Word.
When you do all these, He will surely answer you.
ASSIGNMENT:
Speak over that pressing situation while you trust His Word.
