“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory” (2 Corinthians 1.20 NLT).
Now that we know our Position in God as His Children and we have gained an understanding of our Purpose, we can now focus on the Promise God gives us to achieve all that He has planned. God’s Promises will almost always seem impossible for us to achieve on our own. God places our promises at the foot of HIs throne, so as we walk toward them, we come closer into relationship with Him. And, yes, our promises may be impossible, but with God, all things are possible, which is why we must learn to trust and rely on His great hand to accomplish His Promise through us.
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible'” (Matthew 19.26 NIV).
Once God gives us a Promise, we must write it down and claim it by faith daily. We must believe in the Promise despite our circumstances because many times our circumstances will be the complete opposite of our Promise. God allows this contradiction to produce faith in us. Our faith illustrates that we believe God above what our eyes see: “For we live by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5.7 NIV). As we collected God’s Promises for our lives, we can trust that they will “surely come.” Then once God accomplished a Promise, it will become a testimony of our faith and God’s goodness. Plus, our faith will be boosted for the next Promise God has in store for us.
“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.”
– Habakkuk 2.2-3 (NKJV)
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” (Ephesians 3.20 NLT).
