THE UNFAILING PROMISES

Post date: Dec 18, 2012 5:40:36 AM

Irrespective of your sweet or bitter experiences in life, irrespective of your feelings about yourself, your situation, that of others, about the society and country at large, irrespective of the things you have seen, heard and come to know in life, irrespective of the activities of the devil and the degrading standard of living, all the promises of God are still very active, every effective, and are sure to be fulfilled. Our God is governed by His words not by our feelings, though He sympathizes with us when we are hurt and mistreated. Whatever He had promised you cannot be affected by the passing of years and prevailing circumstances.  Refrain from feeling disappointed when the promises are not yet fulfilled, God will never disappoint anyone, He never wishes anyone bad or planned evil for anyone. As the year is fast running out, people will start counting themselves out of the promise, I will ask that you do not count the passing of the year as a reason to believe the promise is impossible for you to have or that it is over for you, but rather, keep counting and trusting the blessings, keep on holding on to it, and keep hope alive irrespective of the passing of time, the words and calculations of men and the outlook around you.

“Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word.” Hebrews 11:11. God blessed Abraham and Sara after men had counted them out of contention by looking at their ages and the passing of their assumed time, they considered them too old to receive what God had promised and that the promise was irrelevant at that time. God did prove Himself to be true and all those who held that thoughts against them to be liars. I see Him doing the same for you also. Our God will always be right on-time to complete His part of the promise to you as long as you will keep your trust steadfast and unwavering on Him.  

All the promises of God to you are alive as long as He permits you to have life, they are still assessable to you as long as you keep your faith in Him, and you will surely come to inherit them despite the passage of time. Unrestricted and uncompromising Love is the only factor that keeps a promise alive. Times will change and years will pass, but the promise of God to you will never change because the God we serve, The Almighty Father who gave the promise through Christ our Lord never changes despite the passing of time and the working of the powers of darkness. That is the kind of love that God, in His mercy has for you, a love that is stronger than a mother’s love, a love that bonds forever, that blesses forever and that is alive for ever. You enjoy this love because you believe in Him and in the promise, you remain faithfulness and consistency as Abraham and Sarah were, in faith and in action.   

“The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought and planned, so shall it come to pass, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. That I will break the Assyrian in My land, and upon My mountains I will tread him underfoot. Then shall the [Assyrian’s] yoke depart from [the people of Judah], and his burden depart from their shoulders. This is the [Lord’s] purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth [regarded as conquered and put under tribute by Assyria]; and this is [His omnipotent] hand that is stretched out over all the nations. For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? Isaiah 14:24-27

Beloved in Christ Jesus, the Lord’s promises to you may take long to come, but it will surely come, your dreams may be delayed, but they are never taken from you, people may dismiss your faith and sincerely, refused to recognize you, count you a failure and doomed, count days and years to make you feel rejected, dejected, unmotivated, unloved and uncaring. But your God has not changed, neither are His promises to you, they will surely come. Join in this expectation Click here
