How to Obtain the Promises of God

By Dr. Apostle Emmanuel Adebiyi

Every true believer must daily live for the promises and by the promises of God.
Whosoever does not live by these promises is living for nothing, without God in the world and is spiritually aimless - Now we, brethren as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Galatians 4; 28.
Daily connectors to the throne of mercy, where grace is obtain and strength and power is given against each day's evil, are those that are standing on the promises of God. Everything is derived by grace. We are saved, sustained and accomplished by grace The God of all grace, which is also our sufficiency, has made grace sufficient for all things.
Nothing can be received, nor obtained from the throne of grace, except through the provisions from the promising notes, which is the word of God. Any day you failed to connect to the throne of grace, you are on your own - Without him, you can do nothing. Hebrews 4; 16. John 15; 5.
For some, the promises of God are 7, 500 and to another 13,000 and to another 9,999 etc.
The scripture is very clear that the promises of God go beyond numbers, counting and quantity. They are given by divine love, which surpasses human understanding, and that is why Apostle Peter calls them, EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES. 2 Peter 1; 4.
There is no counting, neither limits, to what divine power which has given unto us all things that pertains to life and godliness can accomplished through us and for us, for he is able to do EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO HIS POWER THAT WORKS IN US O you that answered prayer, unto you all flesh shall come.
When you want to gain the world without God in your world, youll end up losing all, including your own soul. This time around, it shall not be in a cave like lot, worst and much more, in the bottomless pit for all eternity - for what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul For those who have been faithfully waiting up to seven years or more for promises given yet unfulfilled, 2011 is your year of eleventh hour of divine reward, says the Spirit of God.

Preface

Will the Lord cast of forever? And will He be favorable no more? Is His mercy clean gone forever? Doth His promise(s) fail forever more? Psalm 77; 7-8.

Asaph was one of David’s three chief musicians. Indeed, he was David’s music director.1Chronicles 16; 4-7.

One of those godly patriarchs that experienced and enjoyed God’s presence, protection, goodness, power, favor and lots of other promises from the scriptures.

Asaph experience during the instability and changing seasons and times of life brought about his worried mind and it’s exclamations to God’s consistent word and unfailing love—I have love you with everlasting love, I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

Here, he portrayed the picture of a lonely soul without divine light, stranded in the wilderness of life, lost in the pilgrim journey and groaning under painful circumstance, but even in our darkest hours of life, the Lord is our hiding place, he shall preserve us from troubles and compass us about with songs of deliverance.

Blessed is he, says the Lord, that shall not be offended in me—Afflictions and persecutions must come because of the word we received.

The life without must pressed hard against the new life within—We may be cast down, but never shall we be forsaken, for the steps of a good man are order by the Lord, and he delights in all his ways, though he falls, he may not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholds him with his hands—Having nothing, yet possessing all things; for all things are yours, whether the world, life or death, or things present or things to come, all are yours, and you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s—We may appear as dying, but yet living, for though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day—As chastened, and not killed, for whom the Lord loves, he chastised, and corrects every son he receives, if you be without chastening, which every legitimate children in the kingdom of God is a partaker, then you are a bastard and not son—As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing, for though the fig tree shall not blossom, neither the fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat, the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd from the stall; yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength and he will make my feet like hind’s feet, and he will make me to walk upon my high places!

God forbid that the Lord will cast off his people—How shall I give thee up, E’phraim? How shall I deliver thee Israel? How shall I set thee as Ze-bo-im? Mine heart is turned within me, my repenting are kindled together. I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy E’phraim; for I am God, and not man,; the Holy One in the midst of thee . . . Hosea 11; 8-9.

For my name’s sake says the Lord, even for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another—This promises should be enough for our comfort in our distresses, that we shall come out of them all—many may be the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord shall deliver him out of them all—with the Lord is plenteous redemption (numerous deliverance, and interventions) and he shall redeem Israel out of all his troubles. Isaiah 48; 10-11. Psalms; 34; 19.

Will he be favorably no more?

Yes, the Lord’s will . . . and the Lord shall arise, and favor Zion, when the set time is come; for though he caused grief, yet will he have compassion. Psalms 103; 13. Lamentation 3; 32.

Is his mercy clean gone forever?

Of course not, for his mercy endures forever and ever . . . They are everlasting to everlasting upon them that fears him . . . for it is through the mercy of the most high we are not be moved. Psalms 21; 7.

Doth his promise fail forever more?

Never shall any of his word fall to the ground, even if we do not believed, yet he remains faithful and truthful to his word and promises, for he cannot deny himself (spoken word). 2 Timothy2; 13.

Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?

Never, for we should rather count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations, knowing that the trial of our faith works patience. Though we’ve been chosen in the furnace of affliction, yet, his tender mercies and loving kindness are new every morning—Troubles shall surely come, the enemies shall attacked and opposed, they shall come like a great flood to carry away, but they shall not prevailed—For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him—by this I know you favor me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. Psalms; 32; 6; 41; 11.

Murmurings and discontentment, unbelief and dis-quietness of spirit are not meant to be found in a Spirit filled believer who ought to rejoice ever—more, whose strength in adversity must come from the joy of his Lord (the joy of partaking in the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God; so that when Christ glory shall be revealed, you may be glad with exceeding joy; and of the satisfaction in Christ, which is the daily contentment and appreciation of his salvation—The kingdom of God, under any circumstance, is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy-ghost). He must pray in his affliction; give thanks in everything—for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning His elects.

Say not thou, what is the cause that the former days were better that these? For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this . . . In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider; God also hath set the other one over against the other to the end that man should find nothing after him. Ecclesiastes 7; 10-14.

The days of man’s life are full of evil—sufficient unto day is the evil thereof, but the Lord shall keep you from all evil, he shall preserve your soul, and the Lord shall preserve your going out and coming in, from this time forth and forever more—the Lord shall work out the trouble in each day for your good, instead of evil, goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. Note, these must walk with, and have the Lord as their shepherd, which desired agent goodness and mercy as their companions in their pilgrim journey.

Matured, hardy and spiritually violence believers which understands the deeds and the ways of God, operation of his hands, chastening and corrections, divine decree of changing times and seasons, would not be enfeebling by Asaph’s questions—Will the Lord cast of forever . . . ?

Seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, for they that know him shall and must see his days. Job 24; 1.

Seeing the days of His power and of perfection of that which concerns them that know their God. David says, I shall not die but live and declares the works of God—And the Lord shall perfect that which concerns me. Psalms 110; 3. 138; 8.

Job saw his days after much patience and endurance as he exclaimed, I have heard thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye sees thee. Job 42; 5.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my days, saith the Lord . . . These great manifestation of perhaps, a single, few or many divine appearance(s) requires much long-suffering in the school of humility and patience; in the classroom of divers experiences and temptations, until the Lord we are looking and waiting for shall suddenly appear for our exaltation and vindication—when thou didst terrible (great, good and mighty) things which we look not for, thou comes down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waits for him. Thou meeteth
