It is easy to be running around for the things of God and not know God. It is possible to preach the word of God and not know the God of the word. It is very possible to use the name of Christ to perform miracles and not be known of Him. In Matthews 7:21-23, the Lord says that some will come to Him on that day saying, we did miracles and even cast out devils in your name, but He will say to them, I don’t know you, depart from me because you lived in sin.

If there is any priority in your life, it must be the cry of Moses, “Show me now your glory” (Exodus 33:13). It must be a tireless pursuit to know God and to be known by God. In Psalms 103:7, the Bible recorded that God honored the request of Moses. He made known His ways unto Moses but to the children of Israel, they only knew His acts.

The ministry of the devil is clear, it is to steal kill, and destroy. Maybe the enemy has stolen something from you or you have lost something tangible, God has promised that you will recover all. No matter how much the enemy has stolen from you, God is going to bring you total recovery.

The first promise is that Jesus has come to give you life and abundant life. Even if the enemy has stolen anything, He will bring it back. Every wasted year and opportunity also will be restored. He said, “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. Joel 2:25 NKJV

Are you in the middle of a project and it looks as if it will not be completed because of the situations surrounding your life? Don’t lose heart because there are precious promises of God for over that project. It may be a stalling building project or an inability to complete a course at the right time. Our God has His eyes on you and His promise for your life over that project is very sure.

Everywhere in the Bible, you will see how God helped men to start a project and finish it. From Noah to Moses, Solomon, and others, God helped them to finish the project they started. Your case is not an exception.

Precious Promises 7

Text: Mark 4:39 NKJV

Further Reading: Mark 4:37-41

Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

MARK 4:39 NKJV

MESSAGE

The storms of life are inevitable. They come in various degrees of strength and ferocity. The storm aims to ruin and scatter the journey of a child of God. The devil will try to stop every genuine child of God by standing storms into their homes, and businesses, or directly attacking their spiritual life. You must not fear because the prince of peace is the master of all storms.

Whenever you are faced with storms of life, you can rest upon the precious promises of the word of God. In our text of the day, when the storm arose against the boat of Jesus, all the Master said was, “Peace Be Still”, and there was a great calm. If Jesus is in the boat of your life, then you have nothing to fear because He will speak peace to that situation.

Are you faced with mountains? Those gigantic problems that look insurmountable? Are you in a phase where you are clueless about where help and deliverance will come from? Relax, there are precious promises forG x

od to deal with your mountains. Before you finish reading this devotional, those mountains will be leveled in Jesus’ name.

Our God is the highest, so, the higher the mountain, the easier it is for Him to prove Himself as God in your life.

Many believers are faced with the burden of financial stress. Many have barely or nothing to get by the next day. Anxiety takes the center stage in many families because of wants and lack, yet God has precious promises for our supplies.

Firstly, God’s will is for us to have all-around prosperity (3 John 3:2). Therefore you can be sure that God will bless your labor as long as you are not lazy. Also if you seek God’s kingdom first, He will meet all your other needs (Matthew 6:33).

Vain is the help of man (Psalms 60:11). If God does not help you, no one on earth can. Men will always fail but God has precious promises to assure you of help. The Psalmist says that even when my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.

In Psalms 46, the Bible called God your very present help in times of trouble. Even when the storms of life are raging and tumults roar like thunder, God is in your midst, you shall not be moved, God will help you right early.

God does not only promise good health for His beloved children, He also wants you to live long and fulfill your destiny. Satan has cut so many life and destiny short because they are not under the shadow of the Almighty.

Even if the enemy is threatening you with death you can pull up the word of God that says that you shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord on the land of the living.

God wants you to be fruitful, bareness is not part of His precious plans for your life. So if you are barren physically, spiritually, or otherwise, you can begin to bank on God’s sure promises to counter that negative trend.

The first decree of God to man is fruitfulness. In Genesis 1:28, the Bible said,

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth”

Today we want to look at the precious promises of God for your health. It is important to know that God’s word is alive and it can heal your mortal body.

One of the major promises for your healing is found in our text of the day. Jesus Himself took your sins upon His body and by His stripes, you were healed. This means that because Jesus bled on the cross and died, those who have truly come to Him in genuine repentance and have been saved have automatic access to healing.
