P.R.O.M.I.S.E.S

Day 192

Reading: Isaiah 54:1 - Isaiah 57:21

As I read the Bible I am amazed at God's love for me. When I study the Bible I look for the promises of God. I don't just look for the stories and the underlying issues so as to learn the ways of God. I also seek to learn the promises of God. They reveal His nature. As I meditated on what to share today I heard this acronym: P.R.O.M.I.S.E.S.

P - Peace. Every promise when activated in alignment with what God has ordained it releases the peace of God. No matter the situation, the promise of God unlocks the door of peace in one's life. 

R- Right. Every promise of God is the right of the believer. Take every promise as being your divine right to the inheritance you have as God's child. Don't view any promise as for some and not you. No, view every promise as yours by the rights bestowed to you by being a child of God. 

O- Obedience. Every promise has a condition attached to it that when adhered to releases the manifestation of the promise. Make the choice to obey to God to see His promises become real in your life.

M- Might of God. Every promise releases the power of God. Every promise reveals the power of God over creation. Activating the promise of God in one's life releases the inherent power of God to do the supernatural that changes our situation.

I- Inspiring. God's promises are inspiring. They inspire one to rise above the circumstances that are seeking to devour you. The promises of God are a call to action that inspires you to take up your arms and wait on God. The promise inspires you to be still even when the storm is raging for you know that God is in charge.

S- Seek God. The promises of God challenge you to seek God more than ever. We cannot live without seeking God. Damned is the person who doesn't seek God. Seek God to see His promises come alive. 

E- Endurance. The promises of God give you the courage to endure while standing on the promise of God. Life is not a sprint but a marathon that requires endurance to succeed. It's not how fast you start but how you manage your entire journey so as to finish strong. Many start well and finish poorly. God desires that we start and finish well. 

S- Shelter. The promises of God are a shelter against the attacks of the enemy. Take the promises of God as an insurance policy from every circumstance or challenge you face in life. God has provided shelter for you and me in His promises. 

Memory Verse: Isaiah 55:10-11

Decree:

Isaiah 57:19
“I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” Says the Lord, “and I will heal him.”(italics mine)

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day. It's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion does not fail. When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow, but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons, it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope, you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for. Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. Hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in life. That situation that has so far made...

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
