FAITH CAPSULE: Every promise in the word of God will not fail.
God is a good God. His goodness is His blessing.
Living life for God is the undeniable condition required by God for one to claim and gain the promises of God.
Every promise in the word of God does not void.
Isaiah 55:10-11 records, “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
The promises of God are in His word.
One with knowledge and understanding of the word of God is a condition for man to claim and gain His promise.
Every promise in the word of God will not fail.
Clearly, through the pages of the Bible, claiming the promises of God comes with a condition (doing according to the word of God).
For example, Exodus 19:5 records, “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
Hear the word of God and do as commanded to gain His promise.
Deuteronomy 6:17 also buttresses, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.”
The verses above identified the condition to claim and gain the promise of God:
Is your way of living life going to deliver the promise of God in your life?
Word of God promises, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)
Live life for God, know to ask, seek, and knock to provoke what to gain.
In life, it is impossible to sow the seed of deception and expect to reap the fruit of perfection.
Live life as one who knows God because anything short of the truth of God is living a life of a lie.
Living for God is sowing self in God and keeping His commandments. The word states, “He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this, we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:4-6)
One with work before God but without walking in Him is not enough.
Living before God demonstrates believing, but walking before God is behaving in the word of God, the character of living for God.
Prayer for today: Ask to live life for God.
