FAITH CAPSULE: God’s promises always go through process before manifestation.

Exodus 3

The promise of God is undeniable for man that takes His promise and sees it as true to be delivered by God. His promise belongs to any that behold, see in His word. Man is without any iota of doubt and ready to remain focus by beholding God the promises becomes one’s possession. God was not a garrulous (a talkative), He is not a garrulous; He will not become a garrulous from eternity to eternity. Awesome gracious God, a caring loving and long-suffering God that acts for His children that waits on Him. Isaiah 64:4 buttressed it, “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4)
God promised to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of over four hundred stating, “So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.” (Exodus 3:8)
The promise of God for the Israelites was with process that demanded faith that demonstrates beholding; looking up to God regardless of challenges of the enemies. The promise of God is in the word of God that does not return void but shall accomplish what pleases God and shall prosper in the thing which God sent. (Isaiah 55:11) Unfortunately man only hears promise but ignore paying attention to challenges in the process of promise. Are you one that wants to claim the promise of God in His word but ignore the challenges in the process of promise? Challenge will come with process but man should rest in God by beholding Him. The Israelites paid attention to enemy instead of beholding God as stated, “So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon. And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid…” (Exodus 14:9-10)
Beholding enemy is an avenue to fear which encases self-destruction of man. God’s promise always remains unchanging while beholding challenges of the enemy in the promise will lead man out of God’s promise. All the Israelites that left Egypt, from twenty years old and above did not get to the promise of God by beholding challenges. Beholding enemies will lead to rebellion and complaint which is evil before God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to rest in the promises of God in His word.
