Evangelical Preacher 1 Kings 8:24 Who have kept with your servant David my father that you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth… I. IT HAS PLEASED GOD TO DEAL WITH HIS PEOPLE IN ALL AGES, BY WAY OF PROMISE. II. HIS POWER IS CONSTANTLY ENGAGED IN FULFILLING HIS PROMISES. 1. His power is exercised in illustration and vindication of His truth in the promises. 2. In proof that His power is supreme and unlimited. Is not His power equal to the love of His heart? All resources are His. 3. His power is always exercised in proof of His faithfulness. III. THERE ARE SOME SPECIAL SEASONS WHEN WE ARE CALLED UPON TO BEAR TESTIMONY TO HIS FAITHFULNESS IN HIS PROMISES. 1. When looking back to the advent of the Saviour. 2. And to another period, not less memorable, the effusion of the Holy Ghost. 3. And to the day of individual conversion. 4. Another special season is that of our consecration and dedication. 5. When we have received extraordinary mercies, we ought to acknowledge His faithfulness. (Evangelical Preacher.)
