Yes and Amen!

2 Corinthians 1:20– “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

“In Scripture the promise of God is the declaration or assurance which God has given in His Word on bestowing blessings on His people.” (KJV Dictionary).

In Revelation 3:1, Jesus is called the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. His word is the guarantee that what God promised will be fulfilled.

We should not doubt any promises we have received from our God, because if we do, we are denying and rejecting His truth — of course, provided that we are ‘in Him’.  We know that apart from Him we are nothing.  We also know that ‘in Him’ everything changes: all impossibilities become possibilities; miracles happen; promises which were given become fulfilled.

If we receive a promise from God, and Jesus says “yes”, why should we doubt? Or forget? We should not be discouraged if a promise has not yet been fulfilled, because everything happens in God’s perfect timing.  Remembering that “all things work together for the good of those who love God” (Romans 8:28), and this alone requires a tremendous divine orchestration from our Creator.

Therefore, continue to remember, to declare and to hope for a promise received, because in God’s perfect time, it will come to pass.  Our God “is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19).  “All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him, Amen!”
