KEY VERSE: He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. Acts 7:5 (NIV)
MESSAGE: When Jehovah called Abraham to leave his father's home and go to the place where he would show him, the call was backed by several “juicy” promises (see Genesis 12:2-3). Later, the Lord promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. You know that the promise of a child from Sarah took a long time to be fulfilled. Apostle Paul, writing to the Romans, revealed that Abraham did not “waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God” because he was “FULLY PERSUADED THAT GOD HAD POWER TO DO WHAT HE HAD PROMISED” (Romans 4:20, 21). After 25 years of waiting, Isaac, the promised son, was born to Abraham and Sarah, and from Isaac descended children as numerous as the stars in the sky.
The Lord is very faithful in keeping every one of His promises. The Bible says, “Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged” (Hebrews 6:17-18).
Continue to have faith in the Lord even when the answer to your prayer is delayed because JESUS CHRIST IS THE PROMISE KEEPER.
FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:
Is there any promise the Lord made to you awaiting fulfilment? Stand on the promise of God without wavering.
PRAYER:
Lord, I thank you for the very great and precious promises you made to me. Give me faith as I wait to see the promises fulfilled in your own time. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.
SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!
The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING Day 85: Numbers 33-34 - Review of Israel’s Journey and Boundaries
DAILY word study: PROMISED The word promised is translated from the Greek ἐπηγγείλατο (epēngeílato)—meaning “to declare with assurance,” “to announce with a guarantee,” or “to offer a sure commitment.” It is often used in Scripture to express the irrevocable nature of God’s declarations.
In Acts 7:5, God’s promise to Abraham is mentioned while he still had no child. Yet that promise stood because it came from the God who watches over His word. In Joshua 21:45, we read, “Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; everyone was fulfilled.” This demonstrates that God's faithfulness spans generations.
Similarly, 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, “For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him [Christ].” Jesus is the embodiment of God's promises. In Him, we see not only the fulfilment of Abraham’s promise but the assurance that every promise made to us has a guaranteed outcome.
Reflection:
God does not merely speak hope—He performs what He says. If He has promised, then He has also planned its fulfilment. Trust His Word, even when the present offers no visible evidence.
