NEVER GIVE UP ON THE WORD

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH
Pastor David Okoye says:

NEVER GIVE UP ON THE WORD

"he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in Faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that what he had promised, he was able also to perform." Romans 4:20-21

      Ever wondered why and how Abraham stood in faith without any doubt, why he never gave up on the promises of God? He could have easily accepted that maybe God wasn't really speaking to him, or that he was having hallucinations or something else but instead Scriptures showed us that he never considered the possibility of the promise of God on his life failing, but was fully persuaded: Abraham was convinced beyond any doubt. James 1:6-7 tells why Abraham was successful "...for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." showing us that the one that will receive from the Lord, is the one that has no doubt about the word of God. The word of God is full of power but many make it ineffective in their lives by their doubt. So many give up on the word with time but this was not the case with Abraham. He believed beyond time and reason. The Godchild should know of a surety that the promises of God are yea and amen as God cannot go bac on his word.
      How then can a Godchild ensure his stand on the word: Abraham showed us the way "he staggered not at the promises of God... But was strong in faith, GIVING GLORY TO GOD". Little wonder thanksgiving is a necessity in receiving from God. When the word of God comes to you, don't just hear it and say amen but receive it with joy knowing that he is able to perform it. Don't stop there: start thanking him for what he has given because he has already given it to you, you've already got it. As you wake up every day, give glory to God for the blessings you've received with a heart of joy and love. With joy you will draw water from the wells of your salvation.

DECLARATION:
I stand strong in faith, giving glory to God. God's promises to me are yea and amen. I refuse to stagger or falter. I'm hanging on the word. Glory!
