The Promises Of God
Annie, OIC
There are many Promises in the Word of God about lifes issues. We often call everyone we know especially those who can not take care of themselves to tell us what to do. Instead we as Gods’ children should learn how to speak to our problems with the Word of God as our solutions.
We worry about many things when most times we cause our own problems out of our own faithlessness. Our finances and material needs like gas, food clothes, household products and personal items are really all in Gods’ hands for He knows what we need even before we ask. Is that not what the word says,
Matthew 6:31 says; Therefore take no thought, saying what shall we eat? What shall we drink? Or where shall we be clothed?(32) (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek) ( we are the Gentiles if you are not Jewish you are a Gentile) For your Heavenly Father Knows you have need of all these things.(33) But, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you.
Do you know this is not just a suggestion Jesus is giving here. He is the power and authority of God the Father, He is not just merely suggesting these things He is commanding us as believers that we should Seek First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness here and now on the earth and in so doing He will supply all our need according to His riches and glory. He will give us the victory in everything all we need do is Faith Up and Stand on a Promise. The same is true for abundance in our finances, Jesus said the Kingdom of God is at hand. Its now in us. Doing the will of the Father is believing on Gods Promises in Christ Loving as Christ loved. Feeding the poor not just by donating a dollar or two on Sunday. Actively taking from your abundance and giving to someones lack. Believe it or not some have 3 and 4 refridgeraters full claiming lack while others have none yet the poor have Faith. We are to literally take in the stranger. Yes, into our own homes showing love, kindness and mercy. Giving drink to the thirsty. Yes, out of our own closet, clothing the naked even if its your favorite jeans and t shirt. Then God will shine in your heart like the noon day sun and you will be blessed above all you could ask or think.
Psalm 92:12 The Righteous shall flourish like a palm tree:he shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon.
He didn’t say maybe He said shall flourish. OIC wants to flourish and be like a mighty Cedar tree in Lebanon. We will. We believe God means what His Word says and we stand on it. Be Blessed in Jesus name and stand on the promises of God.
1st Timothy says it best. Verses 6:8 and having food and rainment let us be content.
We praise you oh Lord for your infinite riches of grace that were poured out for us on Calvary, give us strength love and courage as we do the same as You by obeying your commands, trusting Your Promises and actively loving and caring for others as You did, In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
