TOPIC: Promises of God

God remains the true Father of yesterday, today and tomorrow, therefore, God revealed some promises in His Names- a promise of an attribute or a characteristic. God sealed every single promise with His Holy Authority. If He makes a promise, it is true. There is an incredible amount of encouragement in His promises!

The first Promise of God according to the Bible, we see Jesus in God's promises in Genesis 3:15 when God promises Satan, "He will crush your head, and you shall bruise His heel."

Jesus came to earth to live and die for our sins. His death on the cross was merely a bruise. His resurrection guarantees our eternal life with Him and a crushing defeat of Satan.

The last Promise in the Bible
We find the "Yes" in Jesus' last promise of the Bible in Revelation 22:20

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."

All God's promises in the Bible are true and the last one is about Christ's magnificent return in the future.

Promises of God with Bible Verses, we see over and over in Scripture that we are to "stand firm" in our faith- and for good reason! This world pushes and pulls us in many directions.

Our human nature weakens our resolve to keep our eyes on Jesus. Our focus gets hazy.

Standing firm on the promises of God is a wonderful spiritual exercise to combat all the fear and discouragement we face in times of trouble.

*The Promises of God are Yes and Amen*
The Apostle Paul gives us another beautiful aspect of God's promises.

He had found himself on the defensive with the Corinthians regarding a change of plans to visit. Some were accusing him of being untrustworthy and undermining his authority.

Paul reminded the Corinthians that he preached a Jesus who is totally trustworthy and reliable. As His disciple, he also strived to be like Jesus.

Jesus was faithful and kept His promises; Paul was striving to follow in His footsteps. He explained it this way:

Yes, and Amen Meaning
"For the son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No", but in Him it has always been "Yes." For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. "
2 Corinthians 1:20.

Every promise about the Messiah was fulfilled in Jesus. Amen!

Here are some of God promises to bring you peace and hope.

1) *I Am with You Always*
"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20.

This promise brings an incredible amount of strength and perfect peace, especially when fear and doubt spring up.

Jesus's promise of His constant presence in our lives means we are never out of His sight; He will never leave us. His protection, guidance and comfort are as near as a whispered prayer.

2) *Plans to Prosper You*
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11..

God thinks about YOU, and has plans for YOU, His beloved child. He never wishes ill will or pain into our lives.

It's easy to forget this promise when pain, suffering, and hardships come. His plan is to give you peace, hope and encouragement through those times and teach us to rely heavily on Him.

3) *No Condemnation*
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1.

This does not stop Satan from condemning us and bringing up our past mistakes and sin.

This promise shuts down the voices of shame and guilt in our life. Jesus has declared us not guilty and offers us freedom from sin and gives us the power to do His will!
4) Supply Your Every Need
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:26.

Don't underestimate the value God places on your life. We can only begin to understand how much He loves and cares for us.

Don't hesitate to ask Him for what you need and likewise, do not worry about the material things of life.

5) *My Grace is Sufficient*
"… My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9. This promise from God gives us courage and strength when we need it most- during the hard times of our life. God's grace (His love and mercy in action) is sufficient.

It doesn't remove our trial but strengthens us to carry it or walk through it. He promises to always fill in for our insufficiencies.

Hold tightly to this promise and grow in your relationship with Him!

6) *The Lord Will Fight for You*
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14.

Moses gave the terrified Israelites this promise when the Egyptian army approached. We have this same promise at our disposal when we feel terrified or trapped.

Choose to believe in His help instead of turning to despair (losing hope), fear (running away), or impatience (this breeds frustration and anger.)

Our cause is never hopeless. God promises to always fight for and with us against our foes.

PRAYER: This is the promise of God for you this month and always, "Those who trust in Me will live to celebrate great achievements in My Name! 

Whoever gathers together against you will fall for your sake" So will it be for you in Jesus' Name!

As you step out from today, I pray that you will be gloriously blessed.

Your light will shine more than a million stars.

Wherever you step into, you will enjoy divine favour and mercy of God, and you will return home with victory and thanksgiving songs in Jesus' Mighty Name! Amen!

Enjoy God's Goodness always and Stay Protected.

Thank God is another blessed Week! Stay Protected.
