Last week, we looked at “The nature of God’s promises” as part of the series, “God and the Integrity of His promises”. This week, we will conclude the series by looking at “Divine strategies for obtaining God’s promises”. Be blessed as you read.

Part 3: Divine strategies for obtaining God’s promises

Bible Texts: Heb. 6:11-20, Rom. 4:16-22  

• The knowledge of his promises, John 8:32 –And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. This is the secret of freedom for sin, sickness and all the curses of this life that Christ died to set men free from. Rom. 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Heb .11:6 – But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
• Faith in God and His promises. Heb. 4:1-4, 6-12.
• Asking and desiring to see God’s promises fulfilled in your life. Matt. 7:7; Mk 11.24. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
• Patiently waiting for God’s promises. Heb 6:12-15. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Verse 13 – For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Verse 14 – Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee, Verse 15 – And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hab. 2:3 – For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry
• Taking necessary steps. Jam 2:20-26; Gen 12:1-4. At Red sea God asked the Israelites to go forward even when it was obvious that it appear there was no way forward.

Conclusion

His promises are ye and amen. When He promises, He has the wherewithal to fulfil it. God’s word is an oath. It is immutable.
