2 Corinthians 1:20 - God's Promises Are Sure

Photo credit: http://www.slideshare.net

Exposition

For all the promises of God in him – The Almighty God has made lots of promises to all of mankind. These promises are found in the written word – the Bible which is why one must make a conscious effort to study the Bible every day. You will need to study the Bible so as to be able to appropriate these promises to yourself.

Please note that as this verse tells us, the promises are made through Jesus Christ. This means that without accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, the promises can’t work for you. Some of these promises are that God has promised to be your God and you will be showered with His love, God has promised to be available and present in your life.

God has promised to pardon your sins if you confess and repent of your sins. He has promised to cleanse you and protect you. He has promised to provide all your needs and give you His Spirit. God also says that everything that happens to you will work out for your good. What an awesome God!!

Yes and in Him Amen - This continues to affirm that the promises are affirmed in Jesus as Revelation 3: 14 calls Jesus, the ‘Amen’.

They are yes because it is certain that they will be fulfilled. Numbers 23:19 says that 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? This verse speaks for itself. Whatever God promises always happens. Amen means true, faithful and certain. May you receive the promises in Jesus name, Amen

to the glory of God through us – When you hold on to the promises of God and you receive them, God is glorified. When you take the step of faith and you preach the gospel, God is also glorified.

Prayer

In this New Year, I ask that You help me to search for your promises to me by studying my bible every day. I say thank you, Lord for all your promises to me. I thank You for those that have come to pass. Let those that are outstanding come to pass speedily in Jesus name. Amen.
