FILL YOUR HEART WITH GOD’S PROMISES

“By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:4 (NKJV)

The scripture declares in Psalm 82:6 that we are gods. However, for us to live as gods on this earth we must therefore fill our hearts with the promises of God. The dictionary defines a promise as a word of honour, vow, commitment, pledge, and assurance. Therefore, the promises of God are His commitments to us. It is a revelation of what God has perfected. Through His promises, we know and are assured of the victory that God has already ordained for our lives. We have this assurance because God cannot lie.

The book of Numbers 23:19 declares that “God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent; hath he said, and shall he not do it or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” God made a promise to bless Abraham, according to the scriptures. And the book of Hebrew 6:15 tells us about Abraham saying: “And so after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”

When you have an understanding of who this God is, and you have the promise of God concerning a particular area, it changes everything. You will stop worrying and go to bed. That is why David declared boldly in Psalms 23:4 that “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because you are with me.” The promise of God gives you boldness, confidence, and the holy audacity to stare situations in the face, and declare boldly; that this too shall pass. The promises of God give us access to His divine nature. And as a partaker of His divine nature, anything that cannot be found in God, should not be found in you. However, to partake, you must know what is written. You must know what the bible says. You must, therefore, continue steadfastly in the Word of God. It is the only thing that can never fail!
