Vow

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: VOW

In the bible, a vow has a place in initiating the unusual move of God and miracles in people's lives. In the old and new testament, a vow was always a pledge or promise made to God, never to another person. It was always an expression of unusual devotion. It was also a commitment and was usually voluntary.

A vow is a promise made to God to do something for God in return for a miracle or help we need from Him when there is no other way out. God in His divine mercy has given us the privilege to make a vow and receive a miracle from Him and then fulfil the promise we make to Him. The making of vows are used when one is in crisis or when we have missed God and ended up in a dead-end road.
There are important points you need to know regarding vows.

1. God requires you to fulfil the vow without delaying when it is made and when He brings it to pass; Ecclesiastes 5:4-6, Deuteronomy 23:21-23.

2. God honours the vows we make; Genesis 28:20-22.

3. Make vows you can easily keep, be specific, do not be rash or careless in making vows; Judges 11:29-40.

4. You must be Spirit-led, there is a place for making a vow; I Samuel 1:10-11. We must learn to let go and let God. A Spirit-led vow can be for your own protection; Job 31:1.

A vow is not an outdated thing, it is a God thing. We will all have to make a vow with God at one point or another in our lives.

LET US PRAY
I declare and I pray, that every God-given vow you make, you will see it come to pass, and God will give you the grace to pay the vow. And if there are vows you have made to God out of lack of understanding or irrationally, I speak the mercy of God over you life, no more condemnation in the name of Jesus.
