Memorise: For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37
The awesomeness of God is made manifest in situations that are tagged impossible. Our God likes to get involved in such cases so that they serve as reference points to those who have doubts in their hearts about Him. What is that impossible situation you are confronted with? God can use it to demonstrate to the world that there is no situation, no matter how bad, that He cannot reverse. In today’s Bible reading, the three men who came on a visit to Abraham and Sarah were on a mission to remind them that God is a God of plan and purpose. Have you been waiting a long time for that precious promise of God to come to pass? I have good news for you: your season of divine visitation has come in Jesus’ Name. Abraham and Sarah had given up and were no longer optimistic about the promise of a child to them. Sarah could not help laughing when she heard that time and life would be restored to her, because she knew her age and the deadness of her womb. Her scepticism made the Lord ask “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Are you looking at the doctor’s professional report concerning your case? I want to let you know that the report of the Lord will override every negative report concerning you in Jesus’ Name.
Lazarus
was dead and was already buried for four days (John 11:39). Nobody wanted to
get close to his tomb because he was already stinking; yet the Lord went to
that hopeless situation and reversed the irreversible. The Lord decided to take
His time before going to Mary and Martha, in order to convince the whole world
that even though people may have given up on you, He is always there to
demonstrate to them that they are not your creator. There is nothing that the
redemption paid for by Christ cannot take care of. Are you struggling with
poverty, or are you getting in and out of hospital beds? Have you been labelled
a permanent failure or been told nothing good can come out of your life? Know
that there is a God in heaven who works wonders among men. If He sees that your
natural season is over, He then reminds the world that “He changes times and
seasons” (Daniel 2:21a). If He realises there are powerful forces contenting
with your life, He lets them know that “He removeth kings, and setteth up
kings” (Daniel 2:21b). If the world says you are no longer relevant in the
scheme of things, He tells them that “He giveth wisdom to the wise and
knowledge to them that know understanding” (Daniel 2:21c). With these
assurances, you should thank God and praise Him all your life, knowing that
your desires will come to pass. There shall be expedited reversal of every
negative circumstance in your life today in Jesus’ Name.
Key
Point: There is no impossibility with God.
Read:
Genesis 18:1-15 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of
Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift
up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them,
he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And
said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I
pray thee, from thy servant: 4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched,
and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5 And I will fetch
a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for
therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready
quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And
Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetch a calf tender and good, and gave it unto
a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8 And he took butter, and milk,
and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them
under the tree, and they did eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah
thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 10 And he said, I will certainly
return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall
have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now
Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with
Sarah after the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within
herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old
also? 13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah
laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 14 Is any
thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto
thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 15 Then
Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but
thou didst laugh.
