For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20
Keep your eyes open for promises in the Bible where God commits himself to do something. This should immediately get our attention. We are joint heirs with Christ which means that many things that belong to Jesus can be for us as well. The promises of God will never run out, which means if one person claims them or a million people claim them, then they are still fully available. We always have enough and God will not be limited because of excessive demands for his blessings.
When you see a promise where the condition is met in Christ, then write the date into the margin and pray and ask God to give what he is promising. The promises tend to operate around a deeper relationship with God, a greater influence in helping others and in leaving a spiritual legacy that affects the nations. Keep your eyes open for these. It may take time to see the results but they are all ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ in Jesus.
For Reflection:
- What promises in the Bible are important to you?
- Which ones do you not understand?
Make Life Count:
- Find one promise in the Bible and write in today’s date and pray: “Jesus is Yes and Amen for this promise”. (If you want a place to start, go to yesterday’s verse: John 7:37-38.)
- Tell us a promise that you are claiming for your life, family or ministry.
Hungry for More?
- Make a treasure chest by listing the promises you are claiming in the back of your Bible, and write the date in the margin where you find the promises. This will motivate your faith for years to come and help you remember these treasures.
Standing on the promises…
