KEY VERSE: “AS THE TIME DREW NEAR FOR GOD TO FULFILL HIS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM, the number of our people in Egypt greatly increased.” Acts 7:17 (NIV)
MESSAGE: One truth that sets Jehovah apart from His creation (human beings) is that His words cannot fail. Whatever he says must come to pass in its appointed time and season. Speaking about himself to Balak through the Prophet Balaam, the Lord said, “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” (Numbers 23:19).
The promise Jehovah made to Abraham, which Stephen referred to in our key verse for today, can be found in Genesis 15:13-14, which reads: “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions” (Genesis 15:13-14). This promise to Abraham, made 25 years before Isaac was born, took over 600 years to be fulfilled. Because it was a promise that proceeded from the mouth of the Lord, it could not return to Him empty or void (see Isaiah 55:11); it came to pass at its appointed time.
Every promise of the Lord shall come to pass. The Bible says, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:3). There is an appointed time and season for every promise.
FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:
How do you react when a promise the Lord made to you delays? The Bible says, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Therefore, hold on to that promise. It will not fail to come to pass.
PRAYER:
Father, I thank You that none of the precious promises You made to us will return to You void. Please, strengthen my faith to keep on believing in you and the promise. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen!
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.
SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!
The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING Day 88: Deuteronomy 3-4 — God’s Faithfulness and Call to Obedience
DAILY word study: PROMISED The word promised comes from the Greek ἐπαγγελία (epangelía) meaning “an announcement with the assurance of performance.” It is not simply a hopeful expression—it is a guaranteed declaration rooted in God’s unchanging nature.
In Acts 7:17, Stephen points back to the divine promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 15. Though over 600 years had passed, the promise had not expired. Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” This echoes the reliability of every divine word. Unlike human promises that fail with time, God’s word carries eternal weight and unfailing precision.
Reflection: When God promises, it’s not about if—it’s about when. Stay rooted in trust, knowing that divine promises are never forgotten, only ripening for their season.
