Promise verse for the month of Aug 15


Exodus 33:14 - The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."


Key Points

Just because there are problems in our lives, does not mean that God’s presence is not there.
  • Isaiah 41:10 - Don't be afraid, for I am with you; don't be distressed, for I am your God. I give you strength, I give you help, I support you with my victorious right hand
  • Isaiah 43:2 - When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
A.   The promise of God

What was the promise?
  • The oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
  • I will give it to your descendants
  • I will send an angel
But for the promise to be fulfilled:

     1.      Verse 1 - Leave this place and Go
     2.      Verse 1 - You and all the people – Everyone
     3.      Verse 2 - I will send an angel before you and drive out…….

We just go and possess our rightful possession. Because God is going to do the rest of the work.


B.   The presence of God

Verse 12 - Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me.


God’s reply

Verse 14 – The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
  •         Heb 13:5 - I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
  •        Deut 31:8 - Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you."
God’s presence is going before us and behind us.

1   If we are going to achieve anything its only by the power and the presence of God.

      a.   verse 5 - Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.
                i.     He was not satisfied with anything less.
                 ii.     Angel is not good enough

b.   Mat 28:19-20- And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age

John 14 :16 "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever;

Remembering Sis Jenima Sharma - A tribute

Image
Sis Jenima went to be with the Lord on 14 Nov 2024, after battling with  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for some time.  This is our tribute to her. It was in 2008, when I first met Sis Jenima, the wife of our Bishop Samuel Sharma. It was during our first trip to NE India, Jaigaon in particular. We were there to conduct a pastors' conference at the bidding of Bishop Samuel who had attended the Haggai Leaders' Experience in Singapore a few months earlier. This was the beginning. She was demure, quiet, hardly spoke a word in English. But she was extremely hospitable and genuinely kind. At that time they lived in a very simple house, with hardly any furnishing, all because of the call of God upon her life to serve the Master.  But one thing was certain. She loved the Lord, her husband and her two young children. She always wanted them to serve the Lord all their lives. She was a remarkable woman whose life reflected the love and grace of God in every aspect.  He...

Devotion - Psalms 44: 6-7 - Its God who gives the victory

Image
Psalms 44:6-7 - I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Any soldier will know that the basic weapon of warfare, in those days, were the bow and sword. Without which no soldier will not venture into the battle field. Even the famed Goliath was geared in full battle order when he faced David with the stones and the sling. Isn't it a paradox then that David, one of the finest soldiers Israel had ever produced, proclaims that its not the bow and the sword that gives the victory. Its is the Lord, Jehovah, that gives the victory. I don't think David is trying to say that we should not prepare ourselves for warfare. His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u...

25th Wedding Annivesary - Silver Jubilee

Image
11-1-11 - 25th Wedding Anniversary. Today my wife and I celebrate our Silver Jubilee, 25 years of being married together. How time flies. I look out of the window, the weather reminiscent of the day we got married. It was raining the whole day and so is today. How appropriate. Praise God for His faithfulness in our lives and for the blessings He has given us. Lam 3:22-23 - Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. It has been a wonderful journey. Yes there were disagreements, quarrels, desperation and even "fights" but through it all, our love has grown stronger for the Lord , for the family, for the ministry and for one another. Jeya has been the magnet that holds our family together. Almost three months in a year I am out of country for ministry and kids busy in school. But she has always been the inventory holder that keeps reminding of the things that needs to be done an...
