Promise Keeper

John 3:16

“What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?” –  Romans 4: 1

The Bible says in Genesis 12:1-4, “Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. So Abram departed as the LORD has spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Har’an.”

“For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.” – Romans 4:2 

Abraham was honored by God because of his faith. The Bible says in Genesis 24:1, “Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.” The promise that God has given Abram (who later became Abraham) was contrary to human belief, but Abrahams obedience was inspired by his faith. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 15: 22 -23, “So Samuel said: “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is iniquity and idolatry, Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.” We may offer a work unto God, but that does not mean it was done from obedience. Obedience is trusting Him when it does not make sense, when the world is contrary to what He is saying.

“ For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” – Romans 4:3

There is nothing that we can do to repay God for his beloved son (Jesus Christ.) Infact, He loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the cross for us as it reads in John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” God requires our obedience and faith. When we are obedient, and we are faithful, we are aligned with the promise of God. The Bible says in Matthew 5:12, “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” The Word of God shows us that God has promised us a great reward. In return, we must trust God in the midst of trials, persecution, affliction, and tribulation.

“Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.” – Romans 4:4-5

The Bible says in Psalm 116:12-14-, “What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people.” This shows that we are matchless to the Lord our God. We must  offer praise, obedience, and faith so that our God will see us through. The Lord hears His people and values those who are righteous in His sight, for The Bible says in Psalm 34:15-18, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.”  Our faith in God, puts us in alignment to be heard in the darkest of times by God, but we cannot be righteous if there is not faith.

Prayer

Father God In The Name of Jesus, Lord I abhor myself as in Job 42:6 , “Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.” I repent for allowing fear and doubt to question the promise that YOU gave me. I will no longer entertain those spirits because THE BIBLE SAYS in II Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”  Lord YOU gave me promise and for this I will trust YOU because The Biblesays in Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Lord I will trust YOU even when the winds are contrary to The Word of God. I Love YOU Lord. If any sin should hinder this prayer, I ask that You forgive me. In Jesus Name, I pray. Thank God, Amen.

Thank you for reading this post…. Love,

He Who Does Not Work Does Not Eat

I think we as Christians sometimes live in a smoke screen… and the truth is a lot of times believers can chase fantasies and be over wise (Ecclesiastes 7:16). One issue that I think we don’t address as women is…  Well… what do you do when you have a crush on a man?

Lately

I have been struggling so heavily with this and afterwards God came to me in a dream and opened my crushes mouth and said

“He who does not work does not eat”

Now the Bible says in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”

Basically.. God used my crush in a dream to rebuke me and tell me to get to work… Why ?

  • Rachel was a shepherd before she was married (Genesis 29:9)
  • Ruth gleaned in the field before she married BOAZ (Ruth 2:3)
  • Rahab had a house before a husband (Joshua 2:1)
  • And the Queen of Sheba had wealth before she went to King Solomon. The Bible says in 1 Kings 10:2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a long train of camels carrying spices, gold, and jewels: and she told him all her problems. (TLB)
A woman prays on her knees at sunset.

LOVE

1 Corinthians 13 and Song of Songs tells us that love is so beautiful and it is designed by God to be joy for us. However, with that being said you still have to work.

  • Another dream I had is girls begin to quit their jobs for the winter (8 weeks) to spend time with their boyfriends.

Sis… That’s not going to work out for you. Fantasy leads to poverty. You have to guard your heart and mind. You have to work. And if you do it God’s way (which is the right way) your work and work ethic will put you in position to be married.

  • Proverbs 12:9 Just be who you are and work hard for a living, for that’s better than pretending to be important and starving to death. 10 A good man takes care of the needs of his pets, while even the kindest acts of a wicked men are still cruel. 11 Work hard at your job and you’ll have what you need. Following a get-rich-quick scheme is nothing but a fantasy. (TPT)
  • Ezekiel 2:5

What am I saying ?

There is nothing wrong with desiring a husband. You need to be married… So you can stay out of other people’s business (1Thessalonians 4:10-12). Also, there is nothing wrong with having a crush but there is everything wrong with a fantasy…. FEAR GOD INSTEAD.

It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise. And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them. All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac,
