There are over fifty (50) plus promises in the Bible that pertain to Christian stewardship. This book will help you to identify those promises so that your Christian experience may be enriched as you embrace God's principles of stewardship in your life.
Sealey has grouped the promises into seven (7) categories:
- Promises of Prosperity
- Promises of Provision
- Promises of Praise
- Promises of Prayers
- Promises of Protection
- Promises of Admonition
- Promises of Admiration or Respect
Excerpt
We are bombarded with commercials on the television, radio, and newspapers that offer promises. For example, "Get 30% off the retail price if you purchase before midnight tonight. Hurry while supplies last." These promises all have conditions attached to them. They also have expiration dates and they serve as a mechanism to advertise the products or services being offered. By comparison God's promises also have conditions attached to them. However, His promises have no expiration date. The Bible says in Psalms 90:2: Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. He is an everlasting God and His promises do not expire. There is no concept of a limited time offer in God.
When we as Christians claim the promises of Christ in our lives, we delight Him and He springs into action to fulfill them. We also provide an opportunity for Him to demonstrate His divine and awesome power in our lives. Fulfilling His promises in our lives allows God to advertise His goodness and mercy to others.
