THE 'IF'S OF BIBLE PROMISES

Wow.., going through the Bible, there're just so many promises for the 'children' of God and yeah, we do claim a lot of them. But have you noticed?, most of them have conditions tied to them, meaning for these ones, there's not just saying Amen, you have to fulfill the required conditions. I'm not trying to scare anyone here, I just want you to see the reality of things so that you don't go about thinking God does not answer all your prayers and so that you would have better access to the blessings available in Christ Jesus.

Condition number 1 and the one common to most is that you must be a child of God, not just a church-goer but a Born-again Christian, are you? Second condition I've noticed is obedience to God's instructions. For example, many claim the blessings of Deut 28 but most people overlook its condition in verse 2. Another condition is right-living (righteousness) and holiness e.g. Ps 92:12, Ps 34:9, Ps 112. Trusting the Lord is also one of them like in Is 52:13b. Giving is also very key to wealth Lk 6:38, Prov 11:24. Hardwork is also part of it Prov 22:29. Tithing is indeed advisable Prov 13:9-10. Humility, very important James 4:6, James 4:10, Is 57:15, Ps 12:3.

These above are just the most common few that I have mentioned. Once again, by the Spirit of the Lord, this is made very easy, for it is not by power, nor by might, but by His Spirit Zech 4:6. Follow Jesus wholeheartedly today.

God Bless you richly in Jesus' Name... Amen. Shalom
