Sister Melissa here. I hope and pray everyone is having an amazing day in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is 10 a.m. July 21st, 2023. And I am back with another message from the Lord Jesus Christ. God is with us. He loves us. He never forsakes His children, nor does He ever leave us. I want to encourage you this morning from the book of Romans, chapter 4, beginning with verse 20, which says, Yet He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in His faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had the power to do what He promised.
This is why it was credited to Him as righteousness. The words, It was credited to Him, were written not for Him alone, but for all of us, through whom God will credit righteousness for us who believe in Him, who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. I want to encourage someone once again that when we believe in Christ Jesus and what He has done for us, and we believe that through Jesus Christ the promises of God will be fulfilled in our lives, then we will truly see the manifestation of God.
But first, everything that we say and do must bring honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It must bring honor and glory to our God. This is the most amazing promise that we have before and above everything else, that God gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and to be raised on the third day to give us life. That is the number one promise, that all of us can inherit Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.
And when we give God all the honor and all the glory for what He has done, because the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was a supernatural sacrifice, delivering us from the hands of the evil one. That is a promise fulfilled all by itself. Now God doesn't stop there. He also says that when we believe unto Him, He credits it as righteousness. Why? Because everything in this life that God has promised us, we don't need to see it first.
We need to believe for it first. Abraham did. He didn't see the promises first. He believed God and put God at His word. And because Abraham had faith to believe that if God spoke it, God would do it. If God said it, God would fulfill it. How many of us would reap the promises of God and the manifestation of God's blessings in our lives if we will do one thing, and that is believe God, because God is true.
Even though you haven't seen it come to pass, believe that God is bringing it to pass. But it's only through our faith and our belief and our trust in Jesus Christ. Oh, I pray that this has blessed you. Many, many blessings to you. Continue seeking God, because He is there. And continue seeking the name of Jesus, because He loves you more than we will ever know. God bless. Bye-bye for today.
