OUR GOD NEVER FORGETS (3)

Post date: Dec 18, 2019 4:50:50 AM

I want you to get it very clear in your heart, in your thoughts, in your imaginations, in your mind, and in your spirit that God will never for any reason forget what He had said or fail in what He had promised to you or to anyone else. Afflictions of any kind will not stop His words from ever being effective or stop His work and destiny in you; your past or present situation or location or position will not prevent Him from accomplishing His plans; your current or past shame will not affect the power of His grace; abuse and injustice from people will not stop Him from doing in you and to you and for you what He had promised and the passing of time is nothing before Him. As God in His love had said concerning you and concerning your future, that He will definitely do. There is absolutely nothing that can make God forget His words and He will not and has not forgotten you and His promises to you.

God gave Abraham a clear promise concerning his life, concerning Sarah his wife, concerning his children, and his generations unborn and at the appointed time, God in His power fulfilled all of them despite the difficulties. Though Abraham and Sarah waited twenty years after marriage for the child, God did not forget His promise; though they were both old and Sarah had passed the assumed age for a woman to conceive, God did not forget His promise. Though Abraham and Sarah made a mistake in judging themselves, God did not take the promise away; though Isaac had a problem where he lived, God did not nullify His promise. Though the children of Isaac fought against themselves, God did not forget His promise; though Israel and his children went into Egypt to reside, God did not forget His promise to Abraham concerning them. Though all the children of Israel spent four hundred and fifty years in Egypt, though they suffered, labored hard and were treated as slaves, though Pharaoh and the Egyptians rose up against them, God did not forget any of His words and promises concerning them to Abraham. I am convinced that God had not changed His words or forget His promises concerning you. He has not forgotten them.

These were the promise of God to Abraham: “Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him again and said, I am God All-Powerful. If you obey me and always do right, I will keep my solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted. Abram bowed with his face to the ground, and God said, I promise that you will be the father of many nations. That’s why I now change your name from Abram to Abraham. I will give you a lot of descendants, and in the future, they will become great nations. Some of them will even be kings. I will always keep the promise I have made to you and your descendants because I am your God and their God. I will give you and them the land in which you are now a foreigner. I will give the whole land of Canaan to your family forever and I will be their God. Abraham, you and all future members of your family must promise to obey me. As the sign that you are keeping this promise, you must circumcise every man and boy in your family. From now on, your family must circumcise every baby boy when he is eight days old. You must even circumcise any man or boy you have as a slave, both those born in your homes and those you buy from foreigners. This will be a sign that my promise to you will last forever. Any man who isn’t circumcised hasn’t kept his promise to me and cannot be one of my people. Abraham, your wife’s name will now be Sarah instead of Sarai. I will bless her, and you will have a son by her. She will become the mother of nations, and some of her descendants will even be kings. Abraham bowed with his face to the ground and thought, I am almost a hundred years old. How can I become a father? And Sarah is ninety. How can she have a child? So he started laughing. Then he asked God, why not let Ishmael inherit what you have promised me? But God answered no, you and Sarah will have a son. His name will be Isaac, and I will make an everlasting promise to him and his descendants.” Genesis 17:1-19. For prayers, Click here
