Once again I would like to thanks to Bro. Dylan Lim for inviting me and helping me share my word.
At this time, I know many of us wonder whether God will keep His promises. But I tell you...
Jesus' death an resurrection are our guarantee that God is faithful, that He hears our prayers, and that all His promises are true. Paul clearly explains this to the Corinthians because if they have any doubts about his integrity as God's messenger, they probably doubt God's messages too.
I have a hunch that many Christians today, like the Corinthians, ocassionally have trouble believing God's promises. (I am one of them) Oh, the promises sound so nice. Sometimes they even cheer us up. Yet I think many of us have, at least unconciusly, questioned whether God is faithful to keep His promises. We'll sometimes catch ourselves thinking, "Are the promises of God really true?"
None of God's promises ever has failed! Eg. The great evangelist D.L. Moodly confidently stated, "God never made a promise that was too good to be true." Think about that! No wonder Jesus says not to worry about tomorrow. (Matthew 6:34) God did not created us to be self-sufficient but to depend on Him. We don't have to rush around trying to solve our problems and trials in a few seconds or minutes. We don't have to exhaust all of our human problem-solving options before we turn to God as a last resort. Every trial we face is an opportunity for God to demonstrate His loving faithfulness to us.
God has been faithful to His people in the past and promises to be faithful in the future. (Remember what did Jason said "From the eternal past, to the eternal future" ) Thus, we have no need to worry. We can rest assured that the God who is faithful will fulfill every promise we claim in the name of Jesus.
Lastly, let us all say this to our Heavenly Father who is always listening our prayers...
HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PROMISES.
WHEN WE PUT OUR TRUST IN YOU, WE KNOW YOU WILL KEEP EVERY ONE OF THEM.
WE DON"T KNOW WHY YOU LOVE US SO MUCH. IT MUST BE YOUR GRACE. AMEN

Thank you Daniel! Inspiring! Thanks for remind us how great our God is...(:
Dalam TanganMu kami menerima kasihMu...
Daniel,
"We can rest assured that the God who is faithful will fulfill every promise we claim in the name of Jesus."
I would like to remind you that God only answers prayers according to His will and timing, not ours. Therefore, if we pray for something not within the context of His will, it will not be given to us.
In Love,
