Greetings dear friend.

“The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand…”(Isaiah  14:24)

God is a Promise Keeper and Miracle worker. If HE has spoken, HE will surely bring it to pass.

In one of my recent articles, I referred to the fact that the human heart is desperately wicked and beyond our understanding.

And that it is better to trust in God than to put your confidence in ‘Man’.

The reason it is better to invest your confidence in God is that it will bring you great profit in the long run.

Although people misguidedly say that “what God cannot do does not exist”, we know that God cannot lie and He cannot deny Himself, because He is a faithful God. 

If you have received assurances or Promises from another human being and trust that person implicitly, then you have set yourself up to be hurt.

Here is why:

When people make promises, they mean well. Except for some vile and mean persons who may tell you what you need to hear, in order to take advantage. 

But the majority of those who make promises  may mean well. 

However, you should always bear in mind that circumstances beyond their control can interfere with their plans. And they may not be able to keep their promises. Because they are mere mortals. 

To avoid the hurt failed promises brings:

1- Guard your heart diligently by not  building your life on or around the promises- anything can happen.

2- Undergird yourself with Biblical principles: one of which is to Trust God with all your heart. And cast both the promises and the one who made the promise to God.

3- Pray until the promises are fulfilled.

4- War against the forces of evil and ban them from interfering. 

5- Keep uplifting in prayers, the one who made promises to you

6- Keep a very small circle in the know until the miracle happens (God, You and the one who promised and perhaps a prayer partner) 

In addition, You can share it with your larger circle after it is done. That way, you minimize interference from Friendnemies. 

I hope this helps you to put things in perspective. 

Prayer:

I pray that those who made promises to you are enabled to keep it, and that God will be glorified, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.
