<v Speaker 1>The step first laugh of the Lord never sees us.

2
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>His mercies never come to one end. They are new

3
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>each morning. Great it's their faithfulness. Shalom pressures one. God

4
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>richly bless you for tuning into Radio ACI today for

5
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>our morning glory devotion. Privilege to be facilitated in this episode.

6
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Our pastor and message Brucemith from Harbers Shappel International Commercy.

7
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Let us kind of share a word of prayer. Gracious Father,

8
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you for the privilege to fellowship with you in

9
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>your word. Once again. We pray, O God, that your

10
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>words will fall on the fertile grounds of our heart.

11
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Grant as grace to be two words of your word

12
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in Jesus Mighty name. We pray with thanksgiving. A man,

13
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>let us kindly affirm my faith. From Joshua chapter one,

14
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 1>verse eight. Joshua Chapter one, verse eight. This book of

15
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the Law shall not depart out of my mouth, but

16
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I shall meditate in it day and night, that I

17
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>may observe to do according to all that is written

18
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

19
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and then I will have good success. A man, the

20
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>thing for today's devotion is hope on in faith hope

21
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>on in faith. A script written by Pastor and Missus

22
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>degraphed Deterier and a scripture reading will be taken from

23
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Romance chapter four, verse eighteen to twenty. Romance chapter four,

24
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>verse eighteen to twenty, reading from their new Living Translation.

25
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping,

26
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 1>believing that he would become the father of many nations.

27
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>For God had said to him, that's how many descendants

28
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>you will have. And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though,

29
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>at about one hundred years of age, he figured his

30
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>body was as good as dead, and so was Sarah's womb.

31
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his

32
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 1>faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

33
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Made the Lord add his blessing to the reading and

34
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>hearing of his word, and all shall respond Thanks be

35
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 1>to God. Hope on in faith, hope on in faith.

36
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>When God told Abraham and Sarah they would have their

37
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>very own son, Sarah was already seventy five, and by

38
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>the time the promise was fulfilled, she was over ninety.

39
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Abraham was about one hundred medically biologically and historically. It

40
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>had never happened. It was the kind of situation that

41
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>invites out we are too old. We must have heard

42
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>God wrong. It's never going to happen. But scripture doesn't

43
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 1>record them drifting into unbelief. It says Abraham's faith. They

44
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>did not weaken. Abraham never waved in believing God's promise,

45
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>even when his body and cyrus won felt as good

46
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>as dead. He kept hoping, not because the situation improved,

47
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>but because he knew that God, who made the promise,

48
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:21.199
<v Speaker 1>was supernatural. When our faith begins to waiver, it only

49
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>means that we are measuring God's word against our timeline,

50
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>our age, our bank account, or our past failures. Abraham

51
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>refused to do that. Instead, his faith grew stronger, and

52
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 1>in this he brought glory to God. They are waiting

53
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't waken them, and rather an caored them deeper in God.

54
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>There may be so reasons why your situation seems hopeless.

55
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>A dog closed, you lost your job, a diagnos this

56
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>came back. The years are stacking up, and that promise

57
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 1>of God concerning your marriage, academics, business, children feels delayed.

58
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Precious one, God is calling you to the same posture

59
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 1>that Abraham had hope born in faith, not hope in

60
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>your ability to figure it out, but hope in the

61
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>God who is able to do whatever he promises. Abraham's

62
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>faith story teaches us that God's promises don't have an

63
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>expiry date. They don't get canceled by time, age, or impossibility.

64
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>When we choose, like Abraham to not waiver, but to believe,

65
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we earner God and reposition ourselves to see his word

66
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>come to pass. Dear one, rekindle your hope today by

67
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>holding on tightly to that word. What God promised you

68
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>he is still faithful to bring to pass. And as

69
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you keep believing, your faith won't just survive the weight,

70
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it will grow stronger and it will bring glory to God.

71
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 1>A man, let us kindly take our memory. Verse from

72
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Romance chapter four vers. Twenty Roman Chapter four as twenty,

73
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 1>reading from the New Living Translation. Abraham never wavered in

74
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 1>believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and

75
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 1>in this he brought glory to God. Abraham never wavered

76
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger,

77
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and in this he brought glory to God. Aing man,

78
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>let us kindly share a word of prayer. Father, in

82
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>other things and all situations in our lives seem contrary

83
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 1>to your promise. Please grant us grace and help us

84
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.600

85
