Saturday January 28th
Bible Reading: Heb. 11: 13 - 29
Topic: Embrace God's Assured Promises
During the times of these
Heroes of Faith, God revealed the future to them and they identified with it.
Though God's promises to
us in life most times manifest in the future, we should firmly relate to them.
The secret of success in
the faith life is to see the promises of God, embrace them, be assured of them,
and confess (acknowledge) that we are people on our way to inheriting the said
promises.
Had the Heroes of Faith
reminded themselves of the things they gave up, they would have had the
opportunity to return.
Through the Word of God,
let's follow their footsteps and desire something better than we have at
present.
Let's follow the example
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who bequeathed to their descendants the faith to
believe in God for their inheritance which was still in the future.
Let's learn from Joseph
who prophesied the future deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt.
Let's forsake the
enticements of the present world like Moses did.
By faith, we too can
inherit GOD's PROMISES.
Prayer:
Lord, let me see, be
assured of, embrace and acknowledge Your Word, Amen
Memory verse: Heb. 11: 25
"Choosing rather to
suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for
a season."
