THE GREAT PROMISER

KO E TOKOTAHA TAUHI PALOMESI LAHI´

Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.

PSALM 119:49

Manatu ki he fo‘i folofola ki ho‘o sevāniti, ‘A ia kuo ke fakafalala au ki ai.

SAAME 119:49

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

Whatever your special need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it. Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise: “He giveth power to the faint.” (Isa 40:29). When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask Him to fulfill His own Word.

Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with Him? This promise shines like a star upon you—“Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this—“Lord, Thou hast said it, do as Thou hast said." Are you  distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words—"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins.” You have no merit of your own to plead why He should pardon you, but plead His written engagements and He will perform them.
