We know that the Holy Bible is a book of promises.It contains
promises for practically every aspect of our life from womb to tomb.Often I
used to think that all these promises are totally free for me ! So every morning and night,I just
make it a point to claim a few promises that I thought was necessary for me at that
point of time.I felt happy that all I need to do is just claim the
promises and do nothingelse on my part.I
believed that God will just fulfill all
promises I claimed.In due course,the Lord revealed to me that there is no
promise in the Bible that is given for free and every promise has a condition
attached to it.This condition may either precede the promise or succeed it.In
some cases the condition is hidden or understood.In short,in all cases ,I need
to do my part to expect God to do His
part! This revelation changed my entire outlook towards the Biblical promises.Now,I do my part
first ,then claim the God’s part.
The present topic will reveal what we need to do before claiming the promise that is found in
the Bible.
1)PROMISE Isa 33:16
”His bread will be supplied,and water will not fail him”
CONDITION Isa 33:15
“He who walks righteously and speaks what is right,who rejects gain from
extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes,who stops his ears against
the plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil- (16) this is
the man who will dwell on the heights,whose refuge will be the mountain fortress.
HIS BREAD WILL BE SUPPLIED AND WATER WILL
NOT FAIL HIM”.
