The Promise Keeper // Receive the Promise (Day 5)

After the death of deacon Stephen, the church underwent great persecution. This takes place immediately after the church experienced unprecedented growth following Pentecost. Have you ever wondered “Why is it after I’ve started seeking after God, that it seems like all hell has broken loose?” I know exactly what you mean, and I want to help you avoid discouragement that follows these moments.

Understand that persecution simply pushes us towards the promise; it protects us towards our destiny. It normally happens when you’ve gotten so far out there that there’s no turning back. I believe that although these events are caused by the enemy as an attempt to discourage us, God uses these moments to draw us closer to Him. To intensify our passions. To remember why we started.

The mothers used to sing a song in the church that said these words: “I don’t feel no ways tired, I’ve come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy and I don’t believe He brought me this far to leave me.” I want you to know this morning that what the mother’s sang was true, God did not bring you this far to abandon you! The reason why I know this to be true is because He proven himself to be a promise keeper!
