Isaiah 44:6(KJV)
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me, there is no God.
One of God’s essential attributes is that He occupies both the beginning and the end of everything. The Almighty God is the first and the last; without Him, there is no other. Everything began with God, and He is the conclusion of everything. In other words, when we look at the beginning of everything that exists, God is the first personality, and as we travel through eternity, we will still find God. This attribute makes Him the God that He is, for God controls everything that happens, both now and in the future. Nothing catches Him unawares. He is first and foremost above everyone and everything. He is the extreme end of all things and exists in everything in between. Revelation 22:13 says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” As the Alpha, God is the source of life, and as the Omega, He is the final outcome where no power or ruler can change His plan and purpose. He is the beginning and the end; the Creator and the Judge; the complete revelation and the final authority.
God is the Omniscient One because He is all-knowing. He is so complete that no one can add or take away anything from Him. The Redeemer of Host, the beginning and the end, wants us to fear and worry about nothing in our journey to success. He starts and ends with us. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith….” He’s the Author(beginning) and Finisher(ending) of all things. In other words, we need not worry about the future, for He already knows the end. The all-knowing and all-powerful Author of life and Creator of all things can restore any dead substance to life. He alone has the power to reverse the irreversible. Isaiah 46:10 says, “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.” God declares what will happen at the end before the beginning begins. In other words, before birth, God knows the finish line already. Jeremiah 1:4-5 says, “Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Before being born, God had already determined our end because He is the first and the last who is all-knowing.
Beloved, God is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. There has never been anyone like Him, and there will never be anyone like Him. So, commit your life unto the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, knowing very well that He knows the end from the beginning. He will direct your path to victory, for everything you are and will ever be in Him and Him alone. He knows what He has designed you for. He knows of your present situation, and His promises over your life are sure. He wants to set you apart for His glory and give you a fresh beginning to grow. Thank Him for where you are going, for He alone knows your end. Trust Him to bring His plan to pass in your life, and one billion demons are too few to stop the agenda of God for your life. There is not anyone or anything that can keep you from getting what He has already declared in eternity. Today, fortify, indoctrinate, and guard yourself with this understanding of who God is.
O Lord, thank You for Your Word. Help me to understand Your purpose and lead me in the path of victory in Jesus’ Name.
