*THE AUTHOR AND THE HYMN!*
*_“Standing on the Promises”_* is a hymn written by *_Russell Kelso Carter._* It was inspired by his time in the military. This hymn contains a martial musical style complementing its theme and focus.
Russell Kelso Carter was born in 1849 and he died in 1928. He was a man of varied passions and abilities. Carter was known as an excellent athlete in his youth. *_The Methodist Holiness camp_* had a deep impact on his life and he was appointed into the ministry in 1887.
Carter occupied various teaching positions at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, including Professor of Chemistry, Natural Science, Civil Engineering, and Mathematics.
He not only taught but also published textbooks in his different disciplines and even wrote several novels. His further interests included sheep-raising and Practicing Medicine. He spent the last of his professional years as a Doctor of Medicine.
*_“Standing on the Promises”_* was composed in 1886 while Carter taught at the military academy. He was a member of the first graduating class in 1867 and had a powerful affection for the school.
*_At age 30, Carter’s health was in critical condition and the physicians could do no more for him. Carter turned to God for help and healing._*
*_He made a promise that healing or not, his life was finally and forever, fully consecrated to the service of the Lord. It was from that moment that the written Word of God became alive to Carter._*
*_He began to stand upon the promises of healing, determined to believe – no matter what his physical condition was, no matter how he felt._*
Over the next several months, his strength returned, and his heart was completely healed! Carter lived another healthy 49 years after his healing. He died at 79.

[21] *_and having a High Priest over the house of God,_*
[22] *_Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water._*

[24] *_And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,_*

NKJV
🦅 *_EXHORTATION_*
Beloved in Christ, I appreciate God on your behalf, stating that the moment of hopelessness has now passed. *_Alleluia!_*
*_Receive your manifestation in Jesus’ Name!_*
*_Let me hear your loudest AMEN!_*
The hymn Carter had written several years before his healing miracle became more than words and music to him, *_Standing on the Promises_*, became an integral part of his life.
As we meditate on the lyrics of the hymn *_“Standing on the Promises of Christ my King,”_* we are reminded that we can face any storm, any doubt, or any fear because we are rooted in the unshakable promises of our Saviour.
Our theme says, *GOD’S PROMISES WILL MANIFEST IN MY LIFE!*
*_Please, say this to yourself._* That affirmation will do a lot in getting the universe to work positively with you!
Our text says, *_“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised.”_* (Hebrews 10:23)
Beloved, Let us reflect on the powerful words of Hebrews 10:23, for this is the foundation upon which we believers in the Almighty God can stand firm, for our God is faithful.
His promises must be manifested in our lives – when we remain steadfast.
When the world around us seems hostile and uncertain, we can take comfort in the truth that *_“the Word of God” will prevail,_* and we can stand in the liberty that Christ has secured for us.
Our Saviour’s love binds us to Him eternally. As we rest in Him as our “All in all,” we can be confident that we shall not fall, for we are standing on the promises of our faithful God.
Let me share some insights with you on how you can apply this theme to spheres of life, grounded in the Word of God:
1. On our *Means of Livelihood* (Philippians 4:19) – *_“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”_*
When we trust in God’s promises, we can have confidence that He will provide for our everyday needs, whether it’s through employment, business, or other means. We can live without anxiety, knowing that our Heavenly Father will take care of us.
2. Concerning *the Anti-theist* we should not be quick to judge them. At one time or the other, new knowledge and logical postulations added to our challenges in life can make a human being conclude that there is no God. But that is where god’s words make some sense: (Psalm 14:1) – *_“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.”_*
For those who deny the existence of God, the promises of God being manifested may seem like a foreign concept. Yet, we can pray for their eyes to be opened, that they may come to know the truth and find salvation in our faithful God. We must love them, more than we love ourselves, and pray for divine wisdom to bring them back to the fold.
3. To our *Human Relationships* (1 John 4:7-8) – *_“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”_*
When we trust in God’s promises, our relationships can be transformed. We can extend grace, forgiveness, and love to one another, reflecting the character of our loving God.
4. On your *Businesses* (Proverbs 3:5-6) – *_“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”_*
Businesses that operate with a foundation of trust in God’s promises must experience prosperity, wisdom, and divine guidance, leading to greater success and impact.
5. Concerning the *Governments of our Nations* (Proverbs 21:1) – *_“The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.”_*
Even the leaders of our nations are subject to the sovereignty of God. As we pray for our leaders and trust in God’s promises, we will see His hand moving in the affairs of our governments. Let us not look for the failure of the incumbent so that you will not experience his wrath. Learn to accept whoever has been adjudged as the winner. Then, we can look up to God!
6. Furthermore, on *The Soul of Man* (John 3:16) – *_“For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”_*
7. Thank you for releasing yourself – and precious time – to hear about Him, dearly beloved. It is a blessing and joy to be able to inspire and encourage ourselves – believing that there is no controversy: *_God’s Promises Must Work in My Life!_*
Let us, dear friends, hold fast to this confession of hope, for the One who has promised is faithful, and His promises will be manifested in our lives. Let us not be impatient: Just do your best and await God’s response.
The ultimate promise of God is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. When we accept this promise, He leads us on the path of indomitable success and divine manifestations… It transforms the very depths of our being, granting us eternal life and restoring our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Let us cling to the hope and the unshakable truth that *our God is faithful, and His promises will positively manifest.*
We must continue to stand firmly on the promises of Christ our King.
Please continue to rely on the steadfast love and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father. He alone can provide the deep, lasting encouragement and life-transforming power that we all so desperately need. May you always find refuge in His promises, no matter the circumstances you face.
AMEN.
