  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived.

A HUNDRED FOLD

A HUNDRED FOLD           

Read: Mark 10:29-31
Who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time - houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions - and in the age to come, eternal life (Vs. 30).


    The kingdom of God is a kingdom of covenants. A covenant is a legal agreement sealed by blood. One of the reasons Jesus shed His blood was to seal up the word of God for the benefit of all believers (Heb. 9:16-18). One of such covenants which believers have in the word of God is a hundred fold covenants.
 
    Jesus says, whatever is sown to the Lord and His kingdom will come back in a hundred fold. This is an assurance to give us rest of mind whenever we obey Him. A Hundred fold is a 100% return. It’s not common to find a sure business of a 100% return in this world but that is our heritage in God. It’s an everlasting covenant. It is not the type that will change with inflation or economic recession.
 
    That is why you should let your faith in God make you give with joy. (2 Corinthians 9:7). Give bountiful offerings and sow your tithes with joy in anticipation of God’s blessings (2 Corinthians 9:6). If God has been faithful from the ages past, He will be faithful even now and to the end. Your reward will surely come in Jesus’ name. Peace.
 
Prayer: Lord, let my reward come
 
“IN GOD, NO SOWING IN FAITH IS LOST”
