TOPIC: GOD WANTS YOU TO FULFILL YOUR PROMISE TO OTHERS (PART 5)

BIBLE READING: Joshua 6:22 ‘’Meanwhile, Joshua said to the spies, keep your promise. Go to the prostitutes and house and bring her out, along with all her family.’’

MESSAGE

God is a perfect example for all his children to emulate. When an eagle screeches, her fellow eagles understand. When a horse neighs, his fellow horses know what it says and when a lion roars or growls, it communicates in a language known to other lions.

God promised the Israelites the land of Jericho and He fulfilled His promise. Therefore, Joshua said to the spies who went to spy the land before blasting the wall of Jericho by the land of God to fulfil their promise. Joshua understood the weight of any promise made.

The promise God made in Joshua chapter 2:14, 17-18 was fulfilled in Joshua 6:23, 25. The children of God followed the footsteps of their father, God Almighty. We can see here, that it is scriptural to keep your promises. Do not disappear after receiving your promotion, breakthrough or favour; fulfil your promises no matter the challenges. The difference between a user and a faithful person is that a user vanishes after receiving or obtaining his goals without fulfilling his promises while a faithful person stays connected to fulfil his/her promises.

Another perfect example of a man kept his promise was David to Jonathan, Son of Saul The king. Jonathan loved David so much, he knew David was going to be king and as Rahab did with the spies he made David promise him that he will preserve his family.

God will always remember those who keep to their part of promises. He will always take care of them from one generation to another. We have seen how God kept his promises to the children of Israel, how the two spies also kept to their promise and how David kept his promise to Jonathan despite Jonathan’s death. There is power in spoken words and promises. God wants you to keep your promises to Him, to your friends, co-workers, employees, employers and everyone you encounter as you journey through this terrestrial realm.

PRAYERS

1. Lord Jesus, I thank you for this eye-opening truth from the scriptures, may your name be praised forever and ever.

2. Lord Jesus, I thank you for helping me realize the power in fulfilling promises made by me. Please, accept my thanks in Jesus name.

3. Father in the name of Jesus, no more empty promises shall proceed out of my mouth.

4. Father, please touch the heart of anyone who has promised me good things to fulfil their promises speedily.

TOPIC: GOD WANTS YOU TO FULFILL YOUR PROMISE TO OTHERS (PART 4)

BIBLE READING: Joshua 2:14 - ‘’we offer our own lives as a guarantee for your safety; the man agreed. If you don’t betray us, we will keep our promise and be kind to you when the Lord gives us the land.

MESSAGE

The cost of betrayal is much more expensive than the cost of being loyal. Despite the fact that people trust in the Lord and put all unto God, there are certain individuals whose words we esteem when they speak to us. They have integrity. When they say ‘Yes’, we are sure they mean yes and when they say ‘No’, we are sure they mean ‘No’.

As we can see in the scripture above, the above, the spies used the word ‘If’’ as a chance to make sure they both got back to Joshua alive without any disappointments. At that point, they were still in Rehab’s house. They wanted to be certain before they put their lives at risk. They knew the power of promise. The word ‘’If’’ signifies doubt, uncertainty and all they needed was to get out in peace.

Never should you in any situation jump into making promises. Your words are potent and the one you speak to will hold you accountable for them.

What will your reaction be when someone saves your life and does you a very huge favour? Will you do as the spies who were not carried away with excitement by rushing out in a hurry without giving the blueprint that will help them to fulfil their promise? It is important you think before you make a promise to someone, don’t make a promise and later discover you have said too much and need to reduce the content.

PRAYERS

1. Heavenly Father, I thank you for your words to me today, please accept my thanks in Jesus name.

2. Lord, forgive me of any promise I made in a rush and was unable to fulfil afterwards.

3. Lord, please help me to be calm when promising anything to anyone.

4. Lord, please give me the ability to fulfil all my promise to you and to all men.

5. Lord, please cancel all repercussion of unfulfilled promises.

6. Father make me a perfect example of a man and woman who keep to his/her words in Jesus name.

7. Please Lord, help me mend, heal and restore every heart I have broken in the past or present in Jesus name.

When men seek after a thing, they appear humble, the moment, they get that thing, they become arrogant. Political and traditional leaders are to serve the people, refusal to serve always lead to chaos and civil unrest in the long run. The message for everyone during this period of civil unrest especially in Nigeria is, God is set to do a new thing, and he will not let the oppressed, the forgotten and the lost souls to perish in wilderness. Secondly, the question for every young ones is; what will you do differently if you God gives you the opportunity to become a leader now and in years to come? It is my prayer God minister to you as you listen to this message.

BIBLE READING: Proverbs 4:23- ‘’Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.’’(NLT)

MESSAGE

No man speaks without first conceiving the idea in his or her heart. Many of our actions are backed up by thoughts conceived in our hearts. Jesus Christ made it clear to us that it is not until a man carries out an idea that he commits a sin, but while he thinks about it, the sin is already committed.

Those who make empty promises have their agenda and reasons for doing so. It does not just happen. Proverbs 10vs11; ‘’ The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain, the

words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.’’(NLT)

How pure are your intentions towards others when you relate with them? Let your words give life to people. There are people who depend on what we say. They believe us as we open our mouth on any subject. What are your intentions?

Rahab in Joshua chapter 2 already knew in her heart reasons why she needed to save the two spies. She planned a hiding strategy and provided the spies with logistics advice to prevent them from being caught by Jordan’s kings’ men.

16’’Escape to the hill, she told them, hide

there for three days for men searching for

you. Then, when they have returned, you

can go on your way.’’

However, before she arrived at this strategic escape navigation, she highlighted the news they previously heard about the Israelites and how the red sea dried up for them to cross, also she mentioned how they destroyed Sihon and Og together with what they did to the two kings of the Amorites (Joshua 3vs10). She knew that destruction was coming soon to Jordan and the only way to escape the destruction was to make them swear to save her and her family.

She opened an avenue for them to go and got back favour as a result of her insight into the future. Rehab made sure they were safe before asking them for help in return. Before she said those words in Joshua 2vs 12-13 as quoted above, she knew in heart what she was up to. Whenever you render a help or favour for a brother, sister, friends, or co-worker, what are you up to? Do they or will they have the power to fulfil what your requests are? Must you do a thing for returns when you are helping out in a situation? Whatever you do, and wherever you find yourself, the most important thing is that God wants you to keep your promise no matter what. If you don’t mean it, don’t say it and if you say it, please mean what you say. Hallelujah!

PRAYERS

1. Father, I thank God for today, I praise your holy name for opening my eyes, please accept my thanksgiving in Jesus name.

2. Father have mercy on me, wash me clean from all hidden agenda against anyone in the present or in the past in Jesus name.

3. Dear Lord, help me to guard my heart with all delight, that I may speak life in every situation in Jesus name.

4. Lord, in situations where others are being casted down and prone to be destroyed, please spare me and my family in Jesus name.

5. Father direct the helpers of my destiny to me in Jesus name.

6. Father, please cleanse my heart that I may always think on what is pleasing to you at all times in Jesus name.

7. Heavenly father, I bless your name for answered prayers. Thank you, omnipotent God. I praise your name El-Shaddai, Alpha and Omega in Jesus Christ name. Amen.

TOPIC: GOD WANTS YOU TO FULFILL YOUR PROMISE TO OTHERS (PART 2)

BIBLE READING: -Ecclesiastes 5:5-’’ It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it’’ (NLT)

MESSAGE:

We noted earlier that a promise is an assurance to do something. It is a declaration, that is, words. An invisible representation of every man or woman is his/her word. What do you say to others when you need a favour, a thing or an opportunity? What do you use in exchange for what you desire? What are the collaterals you tender to people in an organization?

A promise is what we use most times. Even when someone knows that they are not going to do a thing, yet, they still go ahead and make a promise. This is not what God wants from you, He wants you to always keep to your promises.

5’’ It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it’’

-Ecclesiastes 5:5(NLT)

‘’You must not testify falsely against your neighbour.’’

–Exodus 20:16 (NLT)

No matter where you are and what you do, be a man or a woman of your words. There is no big sin or a small sin. Sin is sin. There is nothing like white lie or brown lie. A lie is a lie! When you make a promise and do not keep it, you have lied. It is better to say nothing than for you to commit a sin. John 8:44 says; ‘’for you are the children of your father the devil,

and you have to do the evil things he does.

He was a murderer from the beginning. He has

always hated the truck, because there is no truth

in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.’’ (NLT)

We can see that all liars are associated with the devil through the scripture above. Matthew 5:7 also affirms that; ‘’ But let your yes be yes and your ‘no’ ‘no’. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.’’ (NKJV)

PRAYERS

1. Heavenly father, I thank you for your word today, I adore your Holy Name for you are good. Please accept my thanks today in Jesus name.

2. Dear Lord, give me the ability to always say the truth no matter where I find myself in Jesus name.

3. I rebuke every seed of lie and I break every gene of deception in me, they will never reoccur in my life in Jesus name.

TOPIC: GOD WANTS YOU TO FULFILL YOUR PROMISE TO OTHERS (PART 1)

BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 5:5-’’ It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it’’ (NLT)

MESSAGE

A promise is a declaration that you will do something. It is giving your assurance as regards a specific action. Many of us make promises in one way or another every day without remembering that the power of life and death is in the tongue.

When you open your mouth to say a thing, you are either giving life or pronouncing death unto the lives or things around you. Everything God created responds to spoken words; for they were all created by words spoken by God in the beginning. Therefore, there is power in our words since we were created in His image.

The same way we depend and hold on to the words of God to us is the same way people depend on spoken words from us and trust us to fulfil whatever we say to them. Some go into any length or height to lay down their lives and possessions all in the name of what someone told them.

We may have heard or seen young men and girls heartbroken because of unfulfilled promises by trusted close friends, parents or family. Many companies and organizations have lost investments due to unfulfilled promises by individuals and vice-versa. The cause of depression or death in the life of some originated from broken promises. Some husbands or wives battle mental illness due to broken promises by the one they trust the most in form of spouse. Governments, politicians, and political office holders often throw promises into the air to win the hearts of the electorate to secure a post and act otherwise after getting into the office. The list goes on and on.

Throughout the scriptures, we saw how God often fulfilled His promises to His people. He didn’t lie to anyone. His words are mightier than His name and He is always committed to everything He says. If the same spirit that is in God is in us, we should therefore cultivate the habit of keeping and fulfilling our promises to others.

PRAYERS

1. Lord, heal every wound in my heart as a result of broken promises in Jesus name.

2. Father set me free from every bondage of broken promises.

3. I forgive everyone (mention their name) of the hurt inflicted on me in the past in Jesus name.

4. In Jesus name, I come out of the world and I am separated for the Lord’s use.

5. Thank you, Father, for your grace and mercy upon my life in Jesus Name.

Habakkuk 2vs2. International Version

Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.

New Living Translation

Then the LORD said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.

English Standard Version

And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. Vision is the ability to seeing beyond the "now" into the future. It is impressive that the owner of a vision to write it down for clarity and must be careful who you bring into the vision you've seen. Not everyone belong in the arena of your vision. Your daily activities and actions will contribute to the actualization of your vision. So do not give up.

Daniel 1:8-21

New Living Translation

(8 But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. 9 Now God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel.)

Focus is a celestial gift that must be implemented in the terrestrial, in order for you to achieve what God has in mind for you. You cannot achieve much if you are a "yes" person. You must learn to say "no" to people who bring ideas that are out of shape and out of alignment with what you have seen previously. Focus, and the ability to say "no", they both walk together as close associates. You must embrace them in your journey, in order to achieve what God has put into your heart. God bless you.
