STANDING ON THE PROMISES



STANDING ON THE PROMISES
A promise is an affirmation. A reason to expect success. A hymn lyric says: Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, by the living word of GOD I shall prevail; standing on the promises of GOD. There are promises and there are promises. Many a times promises from men fail, but promises from GOD never fail. GOD never fails; Numbers 23 vs.19: GOD is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent; hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good? Standing on the promises of men is trusting in the arm of flesh. Standing on the promises of GOD fails and fades not, it stands forever. The arm of flesh fails. Jeremiah 17 vs. 5: Thus saith the LORD; cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart depart from the LORD. Vs. 6: For he shall be like the heath in the desert and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Vs. 7: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Vs 8: For he shall be as tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. GOD honors his words than his name; his words are his promises for us. They are affirmation for us, and application of these words with our belief works for us. Standing on GOD’s word is not sinking sand, it is a solid rock; standing on men’s promises is sinking sand. Job stood on GOD’s word; this helped him come out of his circumstances. Job 19 vs. 25: For I know that my Redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. Job 42 vs. 2: I know that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Are you in a storm? Do you still doubt GOD’s promises? Are you still paranoid about GOD’s promises? Are you in difficult circumstances? Are you scared of tomorrow? All you have to do is to stand on GOD’s promises, believing it will come to pass.
                      2 Corinthians 1 vs. 20: For all the promises of GOD in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of GOD by us. Every word in GOD’s word is yea and Amen. We just have to key into them because; they will surely come to pass. Stand on GOD’s promises and belief, it will work for you. It is well with us…..

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
