Text: Genesis 17-18.
What God Has Given:
- There are things which are mine by covenant. They have been deeded. They're what's present.
2. There are things which are mine by conception. Form a notion, idea, to imagine - potential.
3. There are those things which are mine by promise. These are things yet to come.
COVENANT - includes healing and righteousness. These are things that are already done. Jesus bought our salvation and healing on the cross. Yet they are not automatic. We're required to take advantage of them. Covenant is a two-way street.
CONCEPTION - These are things I will obtain. It is what has been taught to me by His Word.
PROMISE - These are things I will have at a future date. One day, I'll be in heaven. Abraham was promised a son by Sarah. Yet, there was a big gap between the promise and the fulfillment.
Both Abraham and Sarah laughed when God reiterated His promise of a child. He was 99 and she was 90. Do we laugh when we're reminded of God's promises? Notice they didn't laugh out loud, but in their hearts. God will fulfill His Word.
