Standing on the Promises of God (II)

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Hebrew 6:12

Bible Reading: Mark 24:14-28

God is faithful, kind, and His mercy endures forever. He wants His children to enjoy the best of Him in abundance— his life, goodness, favour, peace, and blessings etc. He has great and mighty things planned for His children. His words comfort, guide and assure us of His plan and purpose (Jeremiah 29:11). However, many children of God are living below God’s expectations because they don’t even know God’s promises for their lives. They cannot stand and fight to finish because they are not familiar with the ministry of the Holy Spirit (Hosea 4:6).

Standing on the promise of God means keeping the word of the promise by confessing it, constantly praying it, and unwaveringly believing it. This reminds me of the story once told of a boy whose father promised to buy a gift and the father refused to buy it. The boy kept reminding his father; any time he sees anything that relates to the gift, he told everyone that his father would buy him a gift even though he was yet to buy it. He confessed and believed that his father would buy it and finally his father bought it. When we constantly confess God’s word, we are calling forces to conform. We are reminding Him of His word, and we are exercising our faith knowing that He is able to do that which He has said.

Dear friends, take right step at the Lord’s command by faith. Do not allow doubt or fear in your life. Continually fix your gaze on Jesus. Sin can either delay or abort the fulfilment of God’s word in the life of a man. Therefore, let sin be far away from you. Do not be weary but stand on God’s promises. Finally, continually rejoice and be thankful.

Self-Reflection: God’s word contains His promises for us and when we study His word, we unlock divine mysteries.

Action Point: Thank God for fulfilling His word over your life and family.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for God’s abundant rain in the regions of the world experiencing drought.

Song: Forever, oh Lord,

thy word is settled. in heaven

It is settled.
