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

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
