Open Heaven Daily Devotional 17 Dec 2024 Message
You can get a lot of strength from God’s promises. Numbers 23:19 says that God is not like the people who make promises that they do not keep. When God makes you a promise, He is going to fulfil it.
It may take a while, but every promise you have received from God will come to pass because 2 Corinthians 1:20 says that His promises are ‘yea and amen’. One of His promises is that you will always overcome evil attacks because Isaiah 54:17 says clearly that no weapon that is fashioned against you will prosper. This is the promise of the Almighty God, and it can never fail.
Deuteronomy 28:7 says that when enemies come against you, they will be smitten before your face. In other words, you are not the one who will do the fighting; you will just watch them being defeated before your face. When they come against you in one direction, they will scatter in seven different directions (Deuteronomy 28:7).

From the Scripture above, it is evident that you will always emerge at the top, no matter what happens to you. When I was young, l used to play with house cats. I would hold a cat’s four legs, put its back on the floor, and remove my hands. As soon as I removed my hands, the cat would be back on its feet in the twinkling of an eye. This affirms the saying of African elders: “The back of the cat does not touch the ground.” This is another way of saying that no matter what happens to you, you will not lose.
God’s promise to you is that no matter what happens, you will always be the head and not the tail; you will be above, and never beneath.
Beloved, if there is a promise that you are trying to activate in your life, find out the conditions attached to it in the Scriptures, do your part, and you will see that promise come to pass in your life at the right time.
Key Point: God’s promises are yea and amen.
