PROMISE KEEPER

Memorise:
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. .. Isaiah 46: 11

Read:
Genesis 21: 1-8

Message

For someone reading this, it is possible that God has promised you many great things in the past, but you have not yet seen those things manifest. This was what happened to Abraham and Sarah. Years before, God had spoken to Abraham, promising him that he will be a father of nations. However, more than 25 years passed and not a single child was born to somebody who was supposed to be the father of nations. Eventually, in Genesis 18, God showed up for him. I pray for you today, God will show up for you and give you that long-awaited miracle, in Jesus' name.

I remember when I became the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, I did everything I knew in line with the word of God to make the church grow. Every month, I organised a three-day seminar. I taught the Bible, preached, fasted and prayed. People would come for the programmes, and as soon as we finish, they would vanish. When I get to the church the following Sunday, at times, the congregation will even look smaller than what we had before the programmes. One day, some weeks before my birthday in 1986, God ended my barrenness. He asked me, "What do you want for your birthday?" and I said, "I want a miracle for every member of my congregation. " That was the beginning of the Holy Ghost Service. Today, all that you see happening in RCCG is an example of what God can do whenever He decides it is time to fulfil His promise to you. I pray that before the end of this year, everyone will see clearly that God is smiling on you, in Jesus' name.

When God makes you a promise, you can rest assured that He will keep His promise. However, many people have missed out on the fulfilment of God's promise due to a lack of faith. If God promises you something and after waiting for a while, you begin to think that God lied to you and won't fulfil the promise, it may never come to manifestation. Romans 4:20 says that Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God, even after waiting for up to 25 years.

God is a promise keeper. However, if you want to see His promises concerning you fulfilled, you must accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, live holy, have faith, and wait patiently on Him.

Bible In One Year:
1 Chronicles 5-6

Hymn:
When We Walk With The Lord

Key Point:
Trust God, He is a promise keeper. He will fulfil His promises concerning you.

King James Version

Genesis 21: 1-8

And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. [2] For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. [3] And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. [4] And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. [5] And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. [6] And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. [7] And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age. [8] And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
RCCG Hymn

When we walk with the Lord

  1. When we walk with the Lord, In the light of His word,
    What a glory He sheds on our way!
    While we do His good will
    He abides with us still.
    And with all who will trust and obey.

    2. Trust and obey!
    For there's no other way
    To be happy in Jesus,
    But to trust and obey.


  2. Not a shadow can rise.
    Not a cloud in the skies.
    But His smile quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt nor a fear,
    Not a sigh nor a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.
  3. Not a burden we bear.
    Not a sorrow we share
    But our toil He doth richly repay;
    Not a grief nor a loss,
    Not a frown nor a cross.
    But is blest if we trust and obey
  4. But we never can prove
    The delights of His love,
    Until all on the altar we lay.
    For the favour He shows
    And the joy He bestows
    Are for them who will trust and obey.
  5. Then in fellowship sweet
    We will sit at His feet.
    Or we'll walk by His side in the way.
    What He says we will do,
    Where He sends we will go.
    Never fear, only trust and obey.
