Dunamis’ Seeds of Destiny 13 August 2020 Devotional by Pastor Paul Enenche — The Scourge Of Broken Promises
Topic: The Scourge Of Broken Promises
Looking up to a man’s promise can cause frustration! To look up to man is to sign for heartbreak. This is because man can change, man can fail, and man can die. But there is a God who cannot fail, change or die! He is the Lord that changeth not
SCRIPTURE: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers…2 Timothy 3:1-3.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you encounter a lot of people who promise to do something for you and they change their mind, don’t be surprised. That is truce-breaking, and it is a sign of the end time.
Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that in the last days, there shall be the multiplication of trucebreakers. The end time is characterized by the abundance of broken promises. Truce-breaking is the order of the day in the end time. The word “truce” implies covenant or agreement. Therefore, trucebreakers means agreement breakers, covenant breakers or promise breakers.
Agreement breaking is more commonly pronounced in the political world. When people are coming out to contest for elective political offices, they make unrealistic promises they know they cannot fulfil to the people. Yet, they make those promises just to get into power by all means. They are truce breakers! They are covenant breakers!
When it involves money, agreement between two people is always a challenge. In the end time, broken promises shall abound. When you encounter a lot of people who promise to do something for you and they change their mind, don’t be surprised. That is truce-breaking, and it is a sign of the end time.
Some people make promises, and when you approach them to fulfil their promises, they begin to wonder when they made such promises. That is truce-breaking. It is a sign and symptom of the last days.
The truth is, looking up to a man’s promise can cause frustration! To look up to man is to sign for heartbreak. This is because man can change, man can fail, and man can die. But there is a God who cannot fail, change or die! He is the Lord that changeth not (Mal. 3:6).
My counsel to you is, don’t be a promise breaker. Don’t say things you know you will not do. Don’t tell lies; be truthful always.
Remember this: When you encounter a lot of people who promise to do something for you and they change their mind, don’t be surprised. That is truce-breaking, and it is a sign of the end time.
