« Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, »
9 “Where is Sarah, your wife?” the visitors asked. “She’s inside the tent,” Abraham replied.
10 Then one of them said, “I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife, Sarah, will have a son!” Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent.
11 Abraham and Sarah were both very old by this time, and Sarah was long past the age of having children.
12 So she laughed silently to herself and said, “How could a worn-out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master—my husband—is also so old?”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’
14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.
In 2 Kings 6:1-7, Prophet Elisha’s children-in-the-Lord asked for permission to go to Jordan and build a bigger place as their current accommodation had become too small for them.
As they were cutting down trees, one of their axe heads fell into the river and sank.
There seemed to be no way to bring it back, until they factored God into the equation.
Elisha got up, cut a stick from a tree and threw it into the river.
- If you have done a little bit of science, you would know that sticks float but then this one had anointing and so as soon as it got into the river, it sank.
- When it reached the axe head, it transferred the anointing to it and the iron that had sunk floated back to the surface of the river.
All these happened because with God, nothing is impossible.
In our Bible reading for today, Abraham and Sarah were past child-bearing age.
God visited them and while they were entertaining Him, He said Sarah would have a baby in 9 months’ time.
The Bible says in verse 12 that Sarah laughed within her.
I would have laughed out too because ordinarily, a 90-year-old woman would not have been able to bear a child.
Moreover, would Sarah and her husband still have been intimate at that age?
She denied laughing, but then the Lord said,
“Well, I know you laughed; nine months from now, you will carry a baby whose name will be Laughter”.
True to God’s word, in nine months’ time, Sarah was laughing because even though she was 90 years old, she had now become a mother.
There is nothing impossible for my God to do.
I have good news for you today: even if you have passed child bearing age and you are yet to give birth to a child, nine months from now, you will carry your set of twins in Jesus’ name.
We serve a God who can do the absolutely impossible Luke 1:37.
In Jeremiah 32:27, God asked a rhetorical question
« Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me ? »
Psalm 62:11 says God has spoken once, twice have I heard that power belongs to Him.
Your Father is omnipotent.
Go ahead now and tell Him what you want Him to do for you.
