Speaker 1: Sharon Beloved, You're welcome to today's Morning Glory Devotion. We
Speaker 1: are Pastor Indiginess Kills In from the Harvest Chapel International
Speaker 1: Dynami Kumasi, and we are humbled to bringing to you
Speaker 1: another episode of our morning Glory devotion. Let us kindly
Speaker 1: share a word of prayer, Our Healy Father, We thank
Speaker 1: you for this beautiful morning and for the gift of life.
Speaker 1: We canly asks that you come and lead the way
Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. Amen, let us can lead. Take confession
Speaker 1: for today from Joshua chapter one, the verse eight. Joshua
Speaker 1: chapter one, the verse eight. This book of the Law
Speaker 1: shall not depart from my mouth, but I shall meditate
Speaker 1: in it day and night, that I may observe to
Speaker 1: do according to all that is written in it. For
Speaker 1: then I will make my way prospers, and then I
Speaker 1: will have good success. Amen. Today's message is titled when
Speaker 1: Faith Costs Everything, When Faith Costs Everything, written by Pastor
Speaker 1: in dickeness po for our scripture. Reading shall be taken
Speaker 1: from he Brews chapter six, the verse ten to fifteen.
Speaker 1: He Brews six the verse ten to fifteen. I will
Speaker 1: be reading from the New King James version he Brews
Speaker 1: chapter six, the verst. Ten to fifteen. God is not
Speaker 1: unjust to forget your work and labor of love which
Speaker 1: you have shown towards His name. In that you have
Speaker 1: minister to the saints, and do minister. And we desire
Speaker 1: that each one of you show the same diligence to
Speaker 1: the full assurance of hope until they end, that you
Speaker 1: do not become sluggish. Imitate those who, through faith and
Speaker 1: patience inherit the promises. For when God made a promise
Speaker 1: to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he
Speaker 1: swore by himself, saying, surely, blessing, I will bless you,
Speaker 1: and multiplying, I will multiply you. And so after he
Speaker 1: had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. The Lord add
Speaker 1: his blessings to the reading and hearing of his word.
Speaker 1: Thanks be to God, Amen. When faith costs everything, When
Speaker 1: faith costs everything, there are days when the hardest part
Speaker 1: of the Christian work is simply stay. Input You have prayed,
Speaker 1: you have fasted, and you have wept behind closed doors,
Speaker 1: Yet the circumstance remains completely unchanged. In those quiet hours.
Speaker 1: The temptation to give up does not always arrived with
Speaker 1: a loud scream. It often comes with a soft whisper,
Speaker 1: asking what is the point of waiting any longer? If
Speaker 1: your heart feels heavy today, you are not the first
Speaker 1: to walk this dusty road. The writer of Hebrews points
Speaker 1: as to a quiet truth. The promises of God are
Speaker 1: never inherited by faith alone, but by faith and patience.
Speaker 1: We love to celebrate faith, but we often overlook the
Speaker 1: patience that holds it together in the dark. Think of
Speaker 1: the saints who walked before us. They were not made
Speaker 1: of stone. They were flesh and blood, just as any
Speaker 1: one of us. They felt the cold edge of disappointment.
Speaker 1: They knew the heartache of delayed answers on pay debts
Speaker 1: and other on met expectations. Yet when giving every reason
Speaker 1: to walk away and seek comfort in lesser things, they
Speaker 1: chose to trust God with the outcome. They settled in
Speaker 1: their hearts that God was faithful, even if the answer
Speaker 1: took a lifetime to arrive. Consider those three young men
Speaker 1: in Babylon Sharrak measure can abete me go, the command
Speaker 1: from the Babylonian king Nipucadnesa, was bound or burned facing
Speaker 1: a roaring fairness. Their answer to the king was simple
Speaker 1: yet unshakable. God could deliver them, but even if he
Speaker 1: did not, they would not bow. Their trust was not
Speaker 1: tied to a quick escape. It was anchored in the
Speaker 1: character of God himself. Such is the testimony that God
Speaker 1: is seeking. The crown of life is reserved for those who,
Speaker 1: in the face of all positions, still submit their wills
Speaker 1: to that of God. The rewards of the Kingdom of
Speaker 1: God are for those who overcome the challenges on the
Speaker 1: journey of faith, not for those who give up. Beloved,
Speaker 1: your trial today may not be a fiery fairnace, or
Speaker 1: a lion's dead or a Roman jail, but the pressure
Speaker 1: to compromise feels just as real. God is calling on
Speaker 1: you to keep your footing. Do not throw away your
Speaker 1: confidence in God and his promises. The God will held
Speaker 1: the saints of all is holding you right now, and
Speaker 1: this very are and the saints who have run the race,
Speaker 1: finished the course and kept the faith at sharing you
Speaker 1: on right now, eagerly waiting to welcome you at the
Speaker 1: finishing line. Pressure is one. This worthy cause is very possible.
Speaker 1: We can indeed make it. Keep on keeping the faith.
Speaker 1: God richly bless you. Let us kind of take our
Speaker 1: memory verse. For today our memory verse shall be taken
Speaker 1: from he brushed of the sixth the verse twelve. He
Speaker 1: bruised the sixth verse twelve. I will be reading from
Speaker 1: the new King James version that you do not become sluggish,
Speaker 1: but imitate those who, through faith and patience inherit the promises,
Speaker 1: that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who,
Speaker 1: through faith and patience, inherit the promises. Amen, let us
Speaker 1: kindly share a word of prayer. Our heavely Father, we
Speaker 1: are grateful for deeply encouraging our hearts today, in the
Speaker 1: moment when our waiting is long and the temptation to
Speaker 1: give up wispers in our years. Please grant us the
Speaker 1: grace to stand firm, help us to uncoor our trust
Speaker 1: in your ever favent and unchanging character. Grant us the
Speaker 1: grace that we, just like the faithful Saint of old,
Speaker 1: will submit our wills completely to yours and never throw
Speaker 1: our way out, confidencing you in Jesus' mindy name, Amen, beloved,
Speaker 1: God's promises are never inherited by faith alone, but by
Speaker 1: faith combined with patience. So do not throw away your
Speaker 1: confidence for the God who held the saints of old
Speaker 1: is holding you right now. God wishly bless you for
Speaker 1: staying all through today's morning glory devotion. Can you join
