BIBLE IN A YEAR: Hab 1-5
FULFILLMENT OF PROMISES Sunday, November 21, 2010
MEMORIZE: “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4) READ: 2 Peter 1:1-4 When it is time for divine favor, God does not only give you an opportunity to key into it by sowing, but also personally asks of you. In addition, at such a time, pending promises and prophecies are fulfilled. When the time Heaven has set to favor you comes, there would be no more delays or postponement of God’s promises.  They will suddenly assume the form of being ‘Yes and Amen’ in the life of the favored. After waiting for 24 years for a promise from God, at the time of God’s favor, the Lord suddenly changed His promise to Abraham into an unchangeable decree. Similarly, after Peter was promised a harvest of men in Luke 5:8-11, nothing happened for the first three years. Peter must have wondered if the Lord had forgotten, but He did not. Finally, at the descent of the Holy Ghost being the day of his favor, the one who could not catch a human fish started to harvest thousands from every sermon. When God gives you a promise, wait on it until the day of your favor.  Do not let go until that day, for that is the time of its fulfillment.  Every promise the Lord has made to you shall come to pass in Jesus’ Name. I went with my Father in the Lord in the company of four others to a Kenneth Hagin’s camp meeting in the United States of America in 1979.   That was our first trip to the USA. As the meeting ended on Saturday, we decided to worship with them the following day.  While translating the message to my father in the Lord since he could not speak, read, write or understand English, the preacher suddenly walked to him and said: “Thus saith the Lord, What I told you several years ago will soon be fulfilled”. And he returned to continue his message. When we got to our hotel later that day and I told him what the preacher said, he broke down in tears saying at the beginning of the RCCG, the Lord promised that if he would keep to certain conditions, He would ensure the church spreads throughout the world. As at the time of this camp meeting, the church had only 39 parishes in addition to the Headquarters church but after my father in the Lord went home to glory in 1980, we have over 4,000 parishes in Lagos State alone; today our presence is felt in all 36 states of Nigeria and in more than 109 nations of the world because it is the time of our favor.  This season, the Lord will fulfill pending promises in your life. ACTION POINT: Father, fulfill all your pending promises in my life, family, ministry and business today through  Your favor.  Let my day of favor not bypass me. N.
