THE PROMISE ! ! !

Genesis 21:1-7 Amplified Bible
The Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for her as He HAD PROMISED.For Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time God had told him. Abraham named his son whom Sarah bore to him Isaac [laughter]. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born. And Sarah said, God has made me to laugh; all who hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children at the breast? For I have borne him a son in his old age!


This month i decided to feature my sister and Sunday's Best Winner Y'anna Crawley! As a single mom of two she has come from the place of press to The Promise! As i was so inspired by her album released August 2010 i thought to myself WHAT HAS GOD PROMISED ME? WHAT PROMISES AND GOALS HAVE YOU MADE FOR YOURSELF? All of your promises of yesterday are in God's hand to fulfil in your life today! Believe me, I understand that life hands us various trials and tribulations but I have found that our struggles are exactly what we need. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. But God is strengthening our spiritual muscles through opposition. We must Count it all JOY!

Here's my thoughts:
The problem that lies with us is that we doubt the promise, even fear the promise and thirdly we sit back and wait on the promise to happen or come. Just take a brief moment and think about the things that God has promised you. Think about the promises that are on your life. It is not enough to just know what they are, you have to act on the promises of God! There are two parts to this equation and that is your part and the divine part which is God’s part. We must understand that our actions on earth creates a response in heaven. The Bible declares that what we bind on earth it shall be bound in heaven and what we loose on earth we loose in heaven. When we do our part God will do His and that’s Good News! We have to stop being afraid to receive and walk-in the promises of God. Let us bind the fear and doubt that grips us when it’s time to walk and move and prosper in the things of God. We depend on the promise that our hairstylist will be waiting for us when we arrive early Saturday morning. The men depend that Monday night football is going to come on at 8pm but for some reason we doubt and question and even try to analyze it all when it comes to the promises of God. What has God promised you? I encourage you to step into your purpose and know that everything else is worth it! This is just a reminder that God is not slack concerning His promises and the blessings of God are Yea and Amen!
