Extension of Promises
Listen
Transcript:
Good morning and greetings in Jesus precious name!
We cannot do without the presence of God or without an encounter or an experience with God even for a single day. When we have an attitude of complete dependency on God, poor in spirit, dependency on God even for the smallest of thing, we will be able to succeed in all the big things in life. We think that dependency on God is only for big things, but no, when we depend on God for the smallest of thing out faithfulness towards God is shown.
In 1 Kings 6: 12, 13, God is making a covenant and a promise with Solomon. God is saying that He will extend His promises to David over Solomon and that He will live with His people in the Temple and He will never abandon His people the Israelites. However, God places a condition saying that Solomon has to keep all His decrees and regulations and obey all His commands. God is not saying that as much as you don’t miss the big things I don’t mind staying with you, but He is saying that the smallest of areas matters. God is saying to Solomon, that it is not enough that he builds a temple and worships Him, but now Solomon should pay attention and follow all Hid decrees and regulations and obey all of God’s commands.
There are three things, decrees, regulations and commands. Decrees and regulations are certain things that God has not expressed as a command but they are principles and ways of God by which we live and function. God wanted a wholesome commitment from Solomon.
When we live by the principles of God and obey His commands, we will see fruitfulness in every area of our life. Share on XBecause Solomon was David’s son, he could inherit the physical blessings but for spiritual blessings, he has to walk following all the decrees and regulations and follow every command of God.
May we be people who live by the principles of God and obey all of His commands, as a result of this we will see the fruitfulness of God in every area of our life.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
