Realizing the promises 1

 “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” Number 13:30-31

Never give up on God’s promises, no matter the opposition or your limitations. Even the promises of God for you this year will still be fulfilled. However, you must remain positive and never doubt that God is committed to fulfilling His promises. Remaining positive about the promise of God in the face of great and difficult opposition is key to realizing the promises. God is bigger than the opposition. God is true to His word and committed to His promises. Insist on seeing the fulfilment of what God has promised you, and the opposition will give way. Caleb told the people to remain positive by neglecting the giants and believing in God. He got the Promised Land despite the fact that the giants were there and were truly stronger than the people.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

Think of these: (1) anything that is born of God has the potential to overcome any opposition in this world. (2) The God in you is greater than all the forces of hell in this world. If you believe these two biblical truths, then you can remain positive that the promises of God will come to pass in your life. You will not be swallowed up in your present challenges.

May you be confident in God’s promises despite the challenges facing you, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: I receive the fulfilment of God’s promises for this year, in Jesus’ name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
