PROMISE KEEPER

-

Genesis 21:1

The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised.


The Lord keeps His Word. "full stop"


Once He has promised He will keep His word.


The only thing that could arise is delay, but surely it will come to pass and it will cause a victorious song.


Jeremiah 32:42b

so I will do all the good I have promised them.


Habakkuk 2:3b

If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.


I cannot tell why the Lord kept Sarah for so long without a child. Abraham seemed not to bother so much about it, yet he did not go to marry another. I believe the Lord was keeping them special to begin a new generation, a nation the He will call His own. Abraham really was a special type of man. How many with so much affluence and wealth could be like Him?


So the word still remains that God will do what He promised.


The question is, Has He promised?


Three ways we have God's promises:


1. When He speaks directly to us.


Yes He still does!


2. Through dreams and from prophets.


We really ought not to play with our dreams, though lots of things would want to fight for space. We have to be careful what we watch, read, listen to and also what we give our attention to while we are awake. It could influence our dreams.



3. Lastly, from written scriptures.


Daniel 9:2,4

During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the Lord, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years.

I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:“O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your covenant and keep your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and obey your commands.


As a believer all God's promises from His word are fulfilled for you in Christ Jesus:


2 Corinthians 1:20

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.


He is the promise keeper, wait on Him, remind Him.


He will surely do it.


Do you know He can still do something special for you before the year ends?


Glory to God forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
