Christ: The Fulfilment Of God’s Promises
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in
him Amen, unto the glory of God by us
(2 Corinthians 1:20).
Christ Jesus is the fulfilment of all of God’s
promises. There’re no more promises waiting
to be fulfilled, and this is the reality. Therefore, stop
saying, “I’m believing God for this and for that; I’m
waiting on His promise.” Stop “believing,” and start
putting your faith to work. Your believing becomes
faith when you say, “I have all that I need.”
In Leviticus 26:9, God said to the Israelites, “For
I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful,
and multiply you, and establish my covenant with
you.” Now, imagine praying, “Lord, you said you will
make me fruitful. Make me fruitful; it’s your promise.”
That’s unbelief in demonstration. The Bible says, “In
Christ Jesus all the promises of God are yea and in
Him Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20).
In the Old Testament, God gave the children
of Israel several promises of blessings, which were
preconditioned on their obedience to the Law and
commandments (Deuteronomy 28:2). But for the new
creation, we’re the result of Christ’s sacrifice and His
obedience. That’s why in 1 Peter 1:14, we’re called
obedient children. Paul, alluding to this in Romans 6:17,
writes: “But God be thanked, that ye were the servants
of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form
of doctrine which was delivered you.”
Thus, our blessings in Christ aren’t preconditioned
on our obedience, but on the basis of who we are: heirs
of God and joint heirs with Christ! There’s no need
praying and asking God to make His promises real in
your life; they’re already real. Simply walk in the light
of who you are and your inheritance in Christ. You’re
the one to prove His Word in your life today.
Don’t say, “Lord, you promised to make me
fruitful; you promised to multiply me”; rather,
say, “Lord, I thank you for making me fruitful and
productive. You’ve multiplied me! I’m flourishing on
every side!” Once you see a promise in the Word of
God, respond and say, “Glory to God! That’s mine in
Christ Jesus; it’s been fulfilled in Christ for my benefit.
Blessed be God!”
Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank you for the realisation your Word has
brought to me today, that in Christ all your promises are
fulfilled in my life. I’m so blessed and honoured to be in Christ.
I declare that my faith is working and I live a life of total
satisfaction and fulfilment, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
