YES

Shio Shio Gai Loti Entry #2

(2 Cor 1:20)
“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

Truly the Word of God says in 2 Cor 1:20 that His promises are Yes and Amen! God is faithful and whatever He promised, He will give it to us.

The bible has more than 7000 promises from God for each and every one of us. How many of you want God’s promises in your life? Then you need to have Faith. Faith is the foundation for you to receive God’s promises and to eventually see it through.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Heaven and Earth may past away, but His Word, His promises will always remain

There are 3 things regarding Faith in God’s promises

For God’s promises, Faith requires you to:

1. Yield to God

There must be a yielding to God. Faith without works is dead. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. As you study and meditate upon God’s word, as you pray and commune with Him, He will begin to show you His promises, visions and revelations.

It is important to yield to God. Man also tends to be forgetful. The devil is here to steal, to kill and to destroy. But as you spend time with God, He will bring a remembrance of the promises that He had given to you before. Therefore faith requires youghn yield to God.

2. Endure

Our Christian walk is a journey of faith. Heb 12:1 says that “let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” To see God’s promises come to past, we need to ENDURE. Life is never a bed of roses, there bounds to be challenges and obstacles along the way. But that should not stop us from having faith in God’s promises. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. Friends, let’s not give up easily. We are more than conquerors in Christ. We should keep on keeping on and fight the good fight of faith.

3. Sacrifice

To fulfil God’s promises requires a certain level of sacrifice. Jesus says in Mark 8:34 that “whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and followed Me.” There are sacrifices that we need to make in order to walk in the will of God, to receive and fulfil His promises.” We sacrifice our time and youth to serve God and His people. We give our finances, our tithing, our offering faithfully for the works of the Kingdom. All these are sacrifices. Our church has a famous saying: “Others can but we cannot” For example, during our building fund period, our friends can go for a good holiday but we choose not to because we want to build God a great house and we give and give and give. Amen

As we begin to apply these 3 points in our life, the end result for God’s promises will be a YES. It will come to past. He who promised is faithful. Let’s have faith in God, let’s have faith in His promises.
