17 June 2023 Sermon – I am counting on the LORD

Audio Sermon

Psalms 130:5 (NLT)

I am counting on the Lord;     yes, I am counting on him.     I have put my hope in his word.

Dear Beloved,  You must keep conting on GOD for your promises. Hold on to his Word.  You know your latter end is greater as that is what God’s word says.

Psalms 16:6

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Hold the scripture and pray with the scripture – because faith comes by the Word of God (Romans 10:17)

Proverbs 25:2

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Joshua 21:45

45 Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Joshua 23:14

14 “Behold, this day I[a] am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

Your help is from God. Take your eyes off the people – Put your eyes on the Lord and not on people. My Help comes from the Lord (Psalms 121:2)

My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Hebrews 6:13-18 (NLT)

18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.

1 Kings 8:56

56 “Praise the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the wonderful promises he gave through his servant Moses.

God is watching over his word to perform it.

Romans 4:17-25 (NLT)

17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”[a] This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. 18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”[b] 19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb. 20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded 24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

Isaiah 48:17

17 This is what the Lord says—     your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,     who teaches you what is good for you
    and leads you along the paths you should follow.

Hebrews 3:2,18-19

For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire[c] house.

18 And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him? 19 So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.

Psalms 67:5-7

May the nations praise you, O God.     Yes, may all the nations praise you.
Then the earth will yield its harvests,     and God, our God, will richly bless us.
Yes, God will bless us,     and people all over the world will fear him.
