  1. Sharon Beloved, You're welcome to today's Morning Glory Devotion. We

  2. are Pastor Indiginess Kills In from the Harvest Chapel International

  3. Dynami Kumasi, and we are humbled to bringing to you

  4. another episode of our morning Glory devotion. Let us kindly

  5. share a word of prayer, Our Healy Father, We thank

  6. you for this beautiful morning and for the gift of life.

  7. We canly asks that you come and lead the way

  8. in Jesus' name. Amen, let us can lead. Take confession

  9. for today from Joshua chapter one, the verse eight. Joshua

  10. chapter one, the verse eight. This book of the Law

  11. shall not depart from my mouth, but I shall meditate

  12. in it day and night, that I may observe to

  13. do according to all that is written in it. For

  14. then I will make my way prospers, and then I

  15. will have good success. Amen. Today's message is titled when

  16. Faith Costs Everything, When Faith Costs Everything, written by Pastor

  17. in dickeness po for our scripture. Reading shall be taken

  18. from he Brews chapter six, the verse ten to fifteen.

  19. He Brews six the verse ten to fifteen. I will

  20. be reading from the New King James version he Brews

  21. chapter six, the verst. Ten to fifteen. God is not

  22. unjust to forget your work and labor of love which

  23. you have shown towards His name. In that you have

  24. minister to the saints, and do minister. And we desire

  25. that each one of you show the same diligence to

  26. the full assurance of hope until they end, that you

  27. do not become sluggish. Imitate those who, through faith and

  28. patience inherit the promises. For when God made a promise

  29. to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he

  30. swore by himself, saying, surely, blessing, I will bless you,

  31. and multiplying, I will multiply you. And so after he

  32. had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. The Lord add

  33. his blessings to the reading and hearing of his word.

  34. Thanks be to God, Amen. When faith costs everything, When

  35. faith costs everything, there are days when the hardest part

  36. of the Christian work is simply stay. Input You have prayed,

  37. you have fasted, and you have wept behind closed doors,

  38. Yet the circumstance remains completely unchanged. In those quiet hours.

  39. The temptation to give up does not always arrived with

  40. a loud scream. It often comes with a soft whisper,

  41. asking what is the point of waiting any longer? If

  42. your heart feels heavy today, you are not the first

  43. to walk this dusty road. The writer of Hebrews points

  44. as to a quiet truth. The promises of God are

  45. never inherited by faith alone, but by faith and patience.

  46. We love to celebrate faith, but we often overlook the

  47. patience that holds it together in the dark. Think of

  48. the saints who walked before us. They were not made

  49. of stone. They were flesh and blood, just as any

  50. one of us. They felt the cold edge of disappointment.

  51. They knew the heartache of delayed answers on pay debts

  52. and other on met expectations. Yet when giving every reason

  53. to walk away and seek comfort in lesser things, they

  54. chose to trust God with the outcome. They settled in

  55. their hearts that God was faithful, even if the answer

  56. took a lifetime to arrive. Consider those three young men

  57. in Babylon Sharrak measure can abete me go, the command

  58. from the Babylonian king Nipucadnesa, was bound or burned facing

  59. a roaring fairness. Their answer to the king was simple

  60. yet unshakable. God could deliver them, but even if he

  61. did not, they would not bow. Their trust was not

  62. tied to a quick escape. It was anchored in the

  63. character of God himself. Such is the testimony that God

  64. is seeking. The crown of life is reserved for those who,

  65. in the face of all positions, still submit their wills

  66. to that of God. The rewards of the Kingdom of

  67. God are for those who overcome the challenges on the

  68. journey of faith, not for those who give up. Beloved,

  69. your trial today may not be a fiery fairnace, or

  70. a lion's dead or a Roman jail, but the pressure

  71. to compromise feels just as real. God is calling on

  72. you to keep your footing. Do not throw away your

  73. confidence in God and his promises. The God will held

  74. the saints of all is holding you right now, and

  75. this very are and the saints who have run the race,

  76. finished the course and kept the faith at sharing you

  77. on right now, eagerly waiting to welcome you at the

  78. finishing line. Pressure is one. This worthy cause is very possible.

  79. We can indeed make it. Keep on keeping the faith.

  80. God richly bless you. Let us kind of take our

  81. memory verse. For today our memory verse shall be taken

  82. from he brushed of the sixth the verse twelve. He

  83. bruised the sixth verse twelve. I will be reading from

  84. the new King James version that you do not become sluggish,

  85. but imitate those who, through faith and patience inherit the promises,

  86. that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who,

  87. through faith and patience, inherit the promises. Amen, let us

  88. kindly share a word of prayer. Our heavely Father, we

  89. are grateful for deeply encouraging our hearts today, in the

  90. moment when our waiting is long and the temptation to

  91. give up wispers in our years. Please grant us the

  92. grace to stand firm, help us to uncoor our trust

  93. in your ever favent and unchanging character. Grant us the

  94. grace that we, just like the faithful Saint of old,

  95. will submit our wills completely to yours and never throw

  96. our way out, confidencing you in Jesus' mindy name, Amen, beloved,

  97. God's promises are never inherited by faith alone, but by

  98. faith combined with patience. So do not throw away your

  99. confidence for the God who held the saints of old

  100. is holding you right now. God wishly bless you for

  101. staying all through today's morning glory devotion. Can you join

  102. us a game for another episode tomorrow morning, by God's grace.
