Power of the Promise

Genesis 1: 28

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

When God created Adam, He spoke a command to him and blessed him. Some of the first words spoken to Adam from His Creator were “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth.” Now Adam’s purpose was to multiply and subdue. As Adam tries to fulfill his purpose, he seems to do nothing but fail. He slowly tries to grow his family, but his sons end up murdering each other. Cain murders Abel. Not only that, Cain is abolished. Adam has officially failed. God blessed him to multiply; but now he is further back than he was at the beginning.

But look at the world today; we speak of overpopulated cities and sustainable energy to accommodate the growth of humans. How? This is because of the Promise that was spoken upon Adam from God Himself. If God was to speak a promise in your life, it is a commandment. No power can withhold you from attaining what God has spoken in your life. Adam may have thought he has failed, but God knew the Power of His Words.

Life may not be smooth sailing, but we have an unmovable anchor and that is Jesus. Hold fast to His words and proclaim His blessings over your life, for His promises will never fail!
