PROMISES OF GOD!

I am writing this article for those young believers,including me, who have surrendered themselves to their creator-JESUS CHRIST!

I was hearing one of the sermons,this morning & felt the holy spirit talking to me,and I realised there are many young and old believers like me,who need to understand this.May the lord bless you.

During his lifetime in this world,Jesus unlike other religious leaders always talked about faith,miracles,life and salvation.Jesus has said many things about faith.
He said in mark 9:23"Everything is possible for him who believes".

FAITH!
My dear friends,do you know the power of faith? More than the power of atom bomb,more than the nuclear power!Jesus said "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you".Can you believe,such is the power of faith!

Now,What is faith?
Hebrews 11:1,defines faith as-'Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see'.
'Being sure of what we hope for'!What is our hope?
Devil's most powerful weapon is to lead people to unbelief.How? We all act as unbelievers,when we say,this must have been predestined for us!
My dear friends,lord never chose our destiny to be bad.LORD has created us with a specific purpose.He has got a master plan for the whole universe and he has specific job which is to be completed by you only.
The devil's most important role is to blindfold you so that you can't see the plan of god in your life.
For instance when we go for shopping,for buying clothes,the one that comes ready made would not be of our size,it may be loose or it may be tight,it is of somebody else's size,it is mot meant for us.But the ones which is stitched according to our size,would fit us perfectly well.Tailor made specially for US!
For illustration,when David was willing to fight Goliath,Saul offered him his own tunic,but David realized it is not his,he found it difficult to move in Saul's clothes!'He took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine'! Such is the purpose lord has created for you!
It is never a coincidence,nor ur destiny.It is god's plan for you.
Friends,we need to know What is gods plan for us.

LORD NEVER WANTS YOU TO BE DOWNTRODDEN,lord has a plan for you which is awesome,he is the one who saves you from the devils hand,he is the one who is your refuge,he is the one who decides your future.

Bible says-"Delight yourself in the lord & he will give you desires of the heart"."May he give you the desires of your heart",there are many verses which say that lord fulfills our desires.Can you believe?If you believe you will never desire a small thing!Will a beggar go before a king and ask for 1 rupee?If he asks,does not that mean he is insulting the king? Will you go to a big bank and apply for a loan of 5Rs?
What is your desire?If you ask small things,it means that ur god is a small god!How big is your desire,that big is your lord
For instance I'll give my own example-Whenever I felt low during my adolescence,I always desired that I should have a special friend just like the other girls!How foolish!When the lord of lords and king of kings is ready to be my friend,is waiting desperately so that I come near him and pour my heart out!

My friends,this is our problem.WE MANY A TIMES FORGET,WHO WE ARE?
Lord has chosen us,Bible says,we are like the apple of his eye.We are precious in HIS sight.We are bought by the lord for a price of the death of his own son!HALLELUJAH!

Friends,let us introspect,What is that make us worry in our life?What is the desire in our life?What is his promise for us? Ask LORD!Ask about his plan,tell him about your desires.One of my favourite song,goes like this.

'Things in the past,things yet unseen,
wishes and dreams that are yet to come true,
all of my hopes,all of my plans,
my heart and my hands are lifted to you,

Lord i offer my life to you,everything I've been through,
use it for ur glory,
Lord I offer my days to you,lifting my praise to you,
As a pleasing sacrifice,
LORD I OFFER YOU MY LIFE!

Today let us all surrender ourselves completely to HIM.He alone cares for us.
ROMANS 4:20 says,"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
The lord promised us that he is always with us,come what may.Apart from this,HE has promises for each one of us,HE wants to fulfill it!Do we have the faith,to rest assured?
Many of us know the promise of god in our own life,but we tend to forget them.Bible tells about lord's servants who,waited upon the lord,for the promises to be fulfilled in their life.Abraham,joseph,moses,noah...the list is very big.
Friends,lord is waiting for us to rely completely to him.Surrender to the lord!He has a BIG plan for you!Surrender completely n u'll see the glory of god.
Because "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"!AMEN!GOD BLESS YOU!
