Luke 24:49-53
You and I have always made promises and received promises. It is really heartbreaking when one is not able to keep up the promise. The fulfilment of the promise has very straight and simple implications. It actually adds the trust factor and gives greater confidence.
When Jesus was about to leave earth to take charge in Heaven, he too left with a promise. The disciples were told to remain in the city of Jerusalem to receive power from HIGH. The task entrusted to them was so big that no ordinary power could keep them going. So they had to receive power from God to do God’s work. The disciples and the other followers responded in faith by continually fellowshipping. Indeed the Lord fulfilled His promise in the upper room. History tells us about the journey of the gospel from Jerusalem to Irian Jaya. It has indeed been a roller coaster drive.
The Lord will surely fulfill His promise of coming back to take His Church home. We don’t know when but for sure soooooon. Till then lets continue to fulfill the purpose of God for each one of our lives. Remember You and I can never achieve the purpose of God without HIS power. It is so important to wait on HIM and receive from Him. Disappointments comes when we are running with our strength. Have you been to the city lately ? Are you running with your own strength ?
