Promises will come to pass – Shilpa Dhinakaran

“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) 
Dear friends, today’s promise is from 2 Corinthians 1:20, “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.” You might have received so many promises while reading the Bible or you would have received from prophets who have prophesied to you and you might be wondering why those promises are not fulfilled. It might have been too long since the Word has been given to you but surely each and every promise will come to pass. So don’t worry or don’t get discouraged. The Bible says, “The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24). Yes the Lord will do everything He has told you.
 
Many of us know the story of Abraham in the Bible. The Lord made many promises to Abraham. God said that He would make Abraham’s descendants like the dust of the earth and that his offspring shall be a great nation. Yet, Abraham had to wait for long for this promise to come to pass. Though he had no child at that time he believed what God said. He believed that he would get offspring as much as the dust of the earth. In the same way the only thing that you need to do is believe in the Word of the Lord and thank Him and the Lord will fulfil each and every promise He has given you. 

Thank the Lord in advance and believe the promises that God has given you. David says, “I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame” (Psalm 138:2). Yes God has exalted His Word above everything.  He will do everything only according to His Word. God fulfilled all His promises to all His children. That is why Solomon says, “You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it-as it is today” (2 Chronicles 6:15). God says, “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11). So do not worry that it is taking time for God’s Word to fulfil for God will surely bring it to pass.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus,
 
Thank You for this wonderful promise verse. I believe You are going to fulfil each and every promise You have given me. I have nothing to ask of You and I thank You that You are going to do just as You have said.

In Your Name I pray, Amen.
