A promise from God always requires a process. God is more interested in the journey than the destination. His promise involves a journey of faith, obedience, trust, and perseverance.
There are steps in this process:
God offers us promises through His grace, but receiving them requires a response of faith, trusting His Word even when the path isn’t clear.
God provides the promises but we as believers walk the path of growth and character development to receive it in His perfect timing.
We may need to take a step of obedience, like Abraham did, leaving the familiar to go where God leads.
Staying humble, turning from sin, and walking with God through prayer and seeking Him, not just times but also in troubled times.
We need to meditate on biblical promises, speak them aloud, and agree with God’s Word, not our circumstances, living as if the promise has already been delivered.
This process involves perseverance and patience. The process builds faith and character, that often requires long suffering, and worshipping while waiting on God’s perfect timing.
God leads us to an intimate relationship with Him, and this is crucial because He makes promises based on knowing us and seeing what’s in our heart.
We need to recognize that entering into the promises of God often requires battling lies in our minds, which acts as a battleground for claiming our inheritance.
God is the promise keeper and His promises are assurances that He will fulfill His word and provide for us. Throughout the Bible, God has a flawless track record of keeping His promises from Noah to Moses.
God does not change Hebrews 13:8 emphasizes that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is faithful to His promises encouraging us to hold on to hope.
As I was reading the other day, I read something that really suck with me, “Heaven is the gift, but our journey reveals the giver.”
We can trust God to keep His word simple because He is faithful in all He does (Psalm 145:13. God‘s faithfulness is the anchor in our storms. His nature guarantees His promises, because He cannot change. He cannot break His word. Rest in His faithfulness knowing every promises finds it’s “Yes” in Him.
