God The Promise Keeper (part 1)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

…Deep in your hearts you know that every promise of the Lord your God has come true. Not a single one has failed!

(Joshua 23:14, NLT)

The mantle of leadership fell upon Joshua when Moses completed his assignment. He would lead God’s children to win many battles and give them the land as promised.

In the final days of his life, Joshua called the elders and said “Soon I will die, going the way of everything on earth. Deep in your hearts you know that every promise of the Lord your God has come true. Not a single one has failed!”

He looked back from Egypt days when he was young to the present time and attested that God had been faithful. This is a reminder that (sometimes) although it is difficult to talk about God’s faithfulness at the beginning of the journey, when you look back and connect the dots you are able to see the hand of God at work in ensuring that His promises come to pass. He is Faithful.

Today I want to reecho that God is the Promise Keeper. The challenges you face are only transitional and you can trust God to guard and guide you to your promised land. He will fulfill every word spoken concerning you life.

The question is: Do you have knowledge about God’s plan/purpose/promise for your life?

It’s one thing talking about generic promises of God for mankind and another thing knowing His specific promises for your life. In Joshua’s scenario, God had promise for Israel community and specific promise for Joshua. His promise to Israel was to give them the land and prosper them as He promised Abraham but to Joshua God said that “No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.” (Joshua 1:5). By the time Joshua’s days on earth were over, he saw God manifesting every spoken word concerning Israel and his life.

If you know God’s promise(s) for your life, then you can rest assured that He will watch over them and ensure that they come to pass in your lifetime.

However if you have no clue yet, now is a perfect to spend some time before His presence and be ready to avail yourself for His Word. After all Abraham was 75 years and Moses 80 years before they had their encounter.

Note that There is always a task with the promise so you will err if you think that He would say “I have made you rich” and that’s it.
What would you do with the riches? it might mean that you take care and/or sponsor an orphanage or take care of His children who are still under satanic bondage, and not to buy a Lamborghini or live in a fancy mansion. God is Faithful but are you going to be faithful?

To be continued…

Confident Hope

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

He who is the faithful to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

(Revelation 22:20, NLT)

Is it possible that there are no terrorist attacks in the world? Or no war in Syria, Eastern Ukraine, Middle East, Yemen, etc? Or the focus of the Media’s cameras are shifted to Covid-19? Are there no famine at places?
I gather from the News and world leaders that once this invincible enemy is defeated, there will be normalcy.
Does the normalcy means going back to hear same old news of plane crash, mass shooting, hotels and mall siege, war, road accidents, climate change, seasonal flu, etc.? Like the unseen virus, these kill innocent people and cause pains. The death of innocent people aren’t normal…So if we’re going to return to normalcy and it would mean living with these things happening, then You and I have got to Trust in Someone Stronger and Hope for Something Better.

The Real Invincible Enemy

The invincible enemy we face as human isn’t some virus trying to seek global attention but Satan and his demons. And as long as we live in this body, on this earth, these troubles won’t cease. There will be wars, sicknesses, diseases, terrorist acts, among others. No man can offer lasting solution(s) because so long as your enemy lives, you’re prone to attacks.

Hope on Earth

There’s Hope for you as a child of God. These guys perpetuating evil on earth have already been judged. Satan knows his fate so he will do his worst. God knows that too that’s why Psalm 91:4 says that “He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge“. The enemy can’t harm you.

Psalm 91 is so TRUE that even Satan (himself) quoted it when he tempted Jesus. Satan knew that “he (God) shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” (emphasis added). If this wasn’t accurate at Jesus’ time, then Satan would by no means use it. But since it was God’s promise, a decree, and binding, Jesus didn’t refute it but also quoted “You must not test the Lord your God” Matthew 4:7. Satan knows that in times of trouble, Angels would quickly intercept to keep you safe.

Therefore don’t be terrified by the News because God (in Whom you trust) promises about protection is as potent as it was years ago.

Jesus is Coming Again

On earth, we’re covered by His Blood, protected by Angels, and we’ve authority to USE His Name to effect changes but Our confident Hope is that Jesus is Coming Again. The signs are obvious and very soon He would come to get us Home.

When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

(John 14:3, NLT)

I don’t about you but I am confident that our efforts and sacrifices won’t be in vain when our Lord Jesus comes. I am excited as I write this because we will forever be with Jesus and see our loved once we missed dearly. God has beautiful plan for us so don’t miss out. Jesus Christ Loves You, dearly. Amen
