Read: 2 Corinthians 1:17-24
YEA AND AMEN IN HIM
”For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory” 2 Corinthians 1:20 (ESV).
Jesus is the fulfilment of the word of God, the living Word that was made flesh and lived among men, ‘And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.’ (John 1:14). All the promises of the Word of God can be accessed through Him and in His name, they can become our experience. Until you become born again and receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour, you are a stranger to the covenant promise of God. ‘That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.’ (Ephesians 2:12-13). Your spiritual status changes when you’re become born again, you gain access to the covenant of promise.
We enforce the fulfillment of the promises of God in our lives when we pray in the name of Jesus and come to the Father through Him.‘And whatsoever ye shall asking my name, that will I do, that the Father maybe glorified in the son. If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it' (John 14:13-14). Jesus took our place and is currently our intercessor before God. Any time we lay claim to the promises of God in the name of Jesus, it is the same as if Jesus the Son of God laid claims to those promises. Since God cannot refuse Jesus, He won't refuse us. This is why you can boldly claim the Word of God in faith for your life and see it come to pass. Look through the scriptures, and find the promise that applies to your situation, lay hold on it in the name of Jesus, without doubt, and you will see it become your reality.
Prayer: I declare that all the promises that God has made to me in His Word will be fulfilled in my life, in the name of Jesus.
