God's Promises Are Sure
Published by Kehinde Kasper · 2 March 2024
Since I have been born again (I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Savior when I was10 years old; more than 3 decades ago, Hallelujah to the Lord for saving my soul) the only one thing Abba Father can never do is to tell a lie. He honors His Word more than His Name.
Psalm 138: 1-2
1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
The Book of Hebrews reveals more to us about the certainty of the promise of GOD.
Hebrews 6: 13-20
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
God knows the best and the right time to grant us that wish we desire according to His Will and he know the best and the safe time to bring us to that divine destination he has promised us. In fact, it is important for God to take us through the process of waiting in order to build our character, ability, faith and trust.
3 things are important during the period of waiting
1. Faith:
Without faith it is impossible to Please God. Moreover, faith makes us stronger and give us the strength to move ahead knowing that Abba Father will accomplish His promises for our lives.
2. Endurance:
Endurance is very important in the period of waiting upon the Lord. Hebrews 6:15- And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
3. Prayer and standing firm in God’s Word:
While waiting on the Lord and, in fact irregardless of whatever we are passing through–times of Joy and times of struggle we have to pray without ceasing every day of our lives. 1 Thessalonians 17- Pray without ceasing. Trusting His Word and having confident that he will accomplish all he has promised is the key to getting to our God given destinations.
God’s Promises are reliable and true. We are going to continue to believe in His Word and have faith in God and God will fulfil His promises in our lives.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
