A SURE PROMISE

life-changingA SURE PROMISE (HEBREWS 6:13-20)

“For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself”.Heb 6:13.

How sure is a promise? Why is it necessary to make a promise? And whose promise can you rely on?

Today, promise means different thins to different people. To some, it is a way of escape from trouble, while others may view it as a means of getting what you want. Many leaders in the world have promised and failed in the past while some are still failing. This is not unusual because of the flexibility of human mind.

The fact is that some people may not want to disappoint but the circumstances is just beyond them.

Sometimes a promise is secured by a handshake or two parties signing a real document as a guarantee to a contract. No matter the forms, the name and personality of those involve matter.

God Almighty also makes promises. He puts His name on the line. His promises are not hollow or shallow but are strong.

Even when a person is in an unconverted state and does not know God, the lord gives him opportunity to access His promises. By His grace and mercy, God sends the Holy spirit to convict lost soul. In Isaiah 1:18 “Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as wool’.

God promises a life that is transformed not by any power but by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed on Calvary.

Day after day, God has an exceeding great and precious promise for you and I. they are more than just words: they are more than contract but are rooted in the Bible.

God did that for Abraham (Gen 12:1-3) he did that for Noah (Gen 8; 21, Gen 9:9).He did it for Isaac (Gen 26:2) He did it for Jacob (Gen28:13, Gen 31:3).also for David (2sam 7;11, 2Chro 17:10). And Solomon (1kings 9,2Chro 1:7-12).if God can fulfill His promises to these people yours is next on the line.

No doubt, there may be troubles in your homes, business, career, etc.we live in a world full of storms but our God transcends all of them. His promises are enough to handle any situation. However, we all need to hang on to Gods promises. Imagine! What would have happened if the disciples had quit praying in the upper room on the day of Pentecost.
What if Naaman had only dipped 6 times as against seven? These people patiently endured like Abraham and they obtained the promise. You too will benefit in Jesus name.
Beloved, try as much as possible to fulfill your part of the agreement. God’s promises are for his sons and daughters because it is unjust to give children meat to dogs. Are you one of His sons and daughters?
