PATIENCE: THE KEY TO GOD'S PROMISES



TOPIC: PATIENCE: THE KEY TO GOD'S PROMISES

BIBLE VERSE: Hebrews 6: 15, "And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." 

Today, we want to see one of the major keys to God's promises in the life of a child of God. It is very important to every child of God to take note of this, because it will not only help your faith in God to receive God's promises, but it will also help your understanding in walking with God with the rest of mind and to be rest assured on His promises. 

P A T I E N C E 
As a child of God, patience is one major key to the great promises of God. Without patience, it is impossible to receive the promises of God. Because God is never in a rush, He is never late, nor does He do anything to impress man. We must exercise patience before we can experience God's promises. When you are patient in waiting for the fulfillment of God's promise in your life, you will not be rushed into sin or irrational action; when you are patient with your God, you will not complain or compromise, and you will not worry about tomorrow. 

WHY PATIENCE? 
Why must we be patient before receiving the promises of God? Since God can do all things, why can't He just do everything for us at once without going through the stress of patience and the silence of waiting? God wants us to receive His promises through patience because of the following reasons:

1, Patience is an act of faith. Without faith, we can not receive from God, and patience is evidence of your faith in God’s promises. “that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12.

2, Patience is trusting in God. When we patiently wait upon the Lord, it shows we truly trust in Him. Psalm 37:5,” Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”

We will continue in Part 2 tomorrow by the grace of God.

LORD, GIVE US PATIENCE TO POSSESS OUR POSSESSION IN YOU. AMEN

NEVER GIVE IN!

NEVER GIVE IN! I Corinthians 9:27, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" After you are saved, even for many years, Satan will still bring sinful thoughts, feelings, ideas, and pressure; your unsaved body will want to over ride the Spirit of God. The addicted sin to smoke, drink, masturbate, etc; the pressure for sinful pleasures will come back in an overwhelming manner; the tendency to get angry, lie, drink, fight, or to do other sinful stuffs will come back; the people for sinful activities will still come back to you. Sometime the pressure will be so heavy as if you can't survive it. Satan will say, "Look, don't pretend, this thing is part of you and your salvation in Jesus can't stop it. You can't stop doing this thing, even if you don't do it now, what about tomorrow, next week, and next month? Just give in and God will understand." My beloved in Christ, that is the deception of pit of hell to make you feel helpless as if...

The Perverted Teaching Of The Enemies Of The Cross

THE PERVERTED TEACHINGS OF THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS Knowing that we are at the very end of the age, as Jesus Christ had foreseen and fore said that majority of the prophets at the end time would be false, they are in the vineyard, but working against it; and so if you believe that we are in the end time, the hidden truth is that majority of the prophets, pastors or bishops you know are false, they may even be your own pastors, mentors or role model. When the Bible talks about end time false prophets, does it means they will come in a strange, dirty way? No, the end time false prophets would come in a friendly and lovely way. These false prophets are the prosperity preachers everywhere, they are the motivational speakers, the miracle prioritized preachers, the problematic prayer ministers, the rich ministers, the luxurious preachers, and the money making ministers. As many Jews were waiting for the coming of Elijah before the earthly ministration of Jesus Christ, they didn't ...

NO REPENTANCE, KEEP REPEATING!

NO REPENTANCE, KEEP REPEATING! Have you ever wondered why you have confessed your sins at different altar calls or personal confessions, and yet you kept repeating such sinful lifestyle? Do you wonder why people keep repeating sins even after sincere confessions? Do you wonder why you confessed your sins and believed you were saved and then serving God, but yet you still ran back into sin? Or you are disturbed why you keep confessing and committing sin? The answer is because you didn’t repent. Without repentance, you will keep repeating the same sins you have confessed. The foundation of genuine salvation is repentance; the beginning of genuine salvation is repentance. If you really need genuine salvation of your soul, then the first thing you need now is repentance. You can confess a sin hundred times without repentance; you will keep committing the sin again. To experience salvation and unspeakable peace of God that follows, what you need first is not to confess your sin or to...
