Topic: Don’t Let Go Of The Word [TREM Devotional 16 January 2019]
“Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.Jeremiah 1:12 KJV
Whatever the condition or the circumstance may be, you must have an understanding of the Word. You must know your rights and your privileges. You must not be ignorant of who you are and what God has given to you. You must not be a stranger to the covenant because when you are a stranger to the covenant, the enemy will take advantage of you.
God works by His covenant. His Word declares: “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us”(Hebrews 6:18 KJV) In other words, once you have a Word for your situation, you have a guarantee. The Word from His mouth is your guarantee. I am telling you what has worked for me for over 37 years. Unless I don’t see it in the Bible. Once I see it in the Bible, I latch onto it. You must not let go. I know that pressures will come. But the only way you will lose is by giving up. And that is Satan’s strategy. He wants to wear you out so that you will give it up.
This is why the Word of God says: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9 KJV). Again, the Word says: “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises”(Hebrews 6:12 KJV) They waited there! Opportunities to leave came but they waited. Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the hand of the Lord revealed?
I challenge you to believe the report of God. And refuse to compare yourself with others because your destiny is different from theirs. At times, God will take you through a harder way than the other person. That doesn’t mean that He has abandoned you. Just make up your mind and act like Brother Job in the Bible who said ‘I know my Redeemer liveth!’
