The Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith: Being Precious Promises Arranged for Daily Use, With Brief Experimental Comments (Classic Reprint)

God may very instructively be compared to a cheque payable to order. It is given to the believer with the view of bestowing upon him some good thing. It is not meant that he should read it over comfortably, and then have done with it. No, he is to treat the promise as a reality, as a man treats a cheque. He is to take the promise, and endorse it with his own name by personally receiving it as true. He is by faith to accept it as his own. He sets to his seal that God is true, and true as to this particular word of promise. He goes further, and believes that he has the blessing in having the sure promise of it, and therefore he puts his name to it to tes ify to the receipt of the blessing. This done, he must beiievingly prcsetii the promise to the Lord, as a man presents a cheque at the counter of the Bank. He must plead it by prayer, expecting to have it fulfilled. If he has come to heavens bank at the right date, he will receive the promised amount at once. If the date should happen to be further on, he must patiently wait till its arrival ;but meanwhile he may count the promise as money, for the Bank is sure to pay when the due time arrives.
