(His Promises Are Fulfilled In Christ Jesus)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 1:20 NIV
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.”

LET’S TALK
“Jeffrey, I never promised you that,” Susie retorted when her brother accused her of not keeping her word.
“But you did; I have the receipts. You said you’d be here by 4 p.m., and now it’s 4:10 p.m.,” Jeffrey claimed.

Upon listening to the recorded message she had left Jeffrey earlier, promising that she’d be with him before 4p.m., Susie soon realised her mistake and promptly apologised for making them late for the event.

Unlike humans, God never makes a promise until He has fulfilled it. Every promise was fulfilled in Christ: “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

So, if God tells you something that sounds like a promise, He has already fulfilled that promise.

Let me explain it to you this way: imagine He puts ten thousand dollars in your account, then He calls you on the phone and says, “Son, or daughter, I will give you ten thousand dollars if you’d do XYZ.”

Now, He only made that promise because He already put the money in your account. This is simple to understand when you realise that God doesn’t have a future; He lives in eternity.

Psalm 90:2 says, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” The future for man is history with God.

Now you can better understand Paul’s beautiful conclusion in Hebrews 4:3 that all “…the works were finished from the foundation of the world.”

In other words, before the earth was created, God had completed His work. Before you ever came on the scene, before your parents ever dreamed of coming together, God had known you and concluded everything about you. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for making the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel possible and available to me in Christ, for all your promises have been fulfilled in Him. Now, I walk in the light of my prosperity, victory, success, joy, peace, and all the blessings of the Kingdom, for all are now mine! Praise God!
