God will fulfil His promises to you!


And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken. (Genesis 21:1)

It is the Promiser who possesses the might and wisdom to fulfil whatever He has promised and to determine when He will fulfil it. God alone has the power and the prerogative of timing to fulfil the promises He made to us. No one can fulfil God's promises for us except God Himself, who works through individuals by His power. Certainly, God will use people to bring His promises to fruition in our lives, but it must be according to His choice of whom He wants to send our way. Some people experience delays in receiving God's promises because they rely on people as their source, which causes God to close the door of His grace to them. Do not run to anyone to fulfil what God has promised you. 

Relying on humans to bring about God's promises is an error and a confusion before God. Abraham, in his moment of weakness was deceived by the devil into believing that God would provide him with the promised child through Hagar instead of Sarah. He was unaware that God is singular in His will. Rather than compromising His plan, God will set aside a man through whom He once hoped to fulfil His purpose if that man proves unfaithful, choosing instead someone more worthy. Ishmael was the devil's alternative to Isaac intending to jeopardise the fulfilment of God's plan. If the son that God promised to Abraham wasn't born by Sarah, it cannot be replaced by Ishmael. Isaac is not just a name; he is God's covenant child to Abraham and carries the glory of God.

Even if Ishmael were to change his name to Isaac, he would still not be Isaac. Isaac is not merely a label but the personified plan of God through which God will make Abraham a father of many nations. Ismael was born of the flesh, while Isaac was given by God. The devil may provide something that resembles God's promise, but it will not be exactly what He has ordained. Devilish alternatives lack the glory of God and instead embody unrighteousness, disguised by superficial attractions. The presence of God's glory—seen in righteousness, humility, truth, holiness, and reverent fear of God—serves as identification and recognition of the will of God. If the glory of God is absent, then what we see is not worthy of our acceptance or admiration. 

If it is not what God promised, it cannot become or replace His promise.  Many things may seem similar to what God has promised us, but they are not. We must not lose sight of the glory of the promise God revealed to us through His Word for the fleeting allure of alternatives that may superficially resemble it. Do not allow the appeal of these alternatives to distract you from the glory that God has shown you.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
