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)

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 ...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
