It may take time.....The Word will not fail

Online Bible study

By Tayo Onaleye

Focus: The book of 1Kings

Passage: 1Kings 8

56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, *according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant*

*LESSON: GOD IS FAITHFUL*

This verse states that every promise of God to the Israelis through Moses was fulfilled.

Every one of them.

*Application*

*1. GOD IS STILL FAITHFUL*

He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He was faithful yesterday. He is still faithful today.

Psalm 89.34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Isaiah 55.11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Jer 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, ........... I will hasten my word to perform it.

*2. THE PROMISE IS FOR AN APPOINTED TIME*

It is true that all the promises of God to the Israelis came to pass but we must remember that *the promises didn't come to pass all at once.......It took time*

Exodus 23.

29 *I will not drive them out from before thee in one year;* lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30 *By little and little* I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

Yes, God have them all the land He promised them but it didn't happen *overnight*......it happened *over time*

*IT TOOK TIME*

Has God given you a specific personal promise?

Do you have a revelation from the Lord?

And it appears as if it won't happen or it's too slow?

Remember this......

Habakkuk 2.3

*For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.*

*3. HOLD ON IN FAITH*

Hebrews 10

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

36 For *you have need of patience*, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Are you tempted to give up on the promises of God to you?

Are you tempted to drop the ball and walk away?

Please listen to me......

*God is still faithful!*

He keeps His word.

So.......

*Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.* Galatians 6.9

Hold on.

Don't give up.

And finally my brethren......

Luk 1:45 Blessed is she/he that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her/him from the Lord.

His word will surely come to pass in your life in Jesus name.

Shalom

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd. He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...
