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...

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

REMEMBERING WHAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN.

REMEMBERING WHAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN Many a time something keeps reminding us of our past guilt. The devil is the accuser of brethren, he is responsible for this. Revelation 12 vs. 10-11: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our GOD and the power of His CHRIST; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before our GOD day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to death. The devil is responsible for you remembering what GOD has forgotten. You have to tell the devil you overcome him by the blood of the lamb and by your word of testimony. Micah 7 vs. 8: Rejoice not against me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall arise, when I sit in darkness; the LORD shall be a light unto me. The devil will always want to rejoice against you, he will always want your downfall; he will always want you in darkness and not light. Sin and tra...
